Stage 1 of the Tour, from Florence to Rimini in Italy 🇮🇹 could get off to a shaky start as Italy is prone to earthquakes. We explain what happens below the surface in our first blog of this year, written by Ana Novak of the Geological Survey of Slovenia 🇸🇮 !

Côte d'Azur? Meh. Adriatic Coast? Nah. What I REALLY want to see is a bunch of cyclists repeatedly riding up a rubbish dump in the Netherlands. It's time to Watch the Femmes take on the Ronde van Drenthe! Let's GO 🤩

Definitely the former... can't fully comment on the latter but Jorgenson openly stated how he was paying for his own altitude camps and certain equipment and so on during his time there.

It means that assuming Jonas stays upright today, Visma-LAB win both Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico - despite the loss of Roglič.

Matteo Jorgenson on his way to winning Paris-Nice, the move to Visma has come at exactly the right time in his career for him to develop into a brilliant stage racer, and another huge success for USA cycling 🙌
