I spent much of Strade Bianche with Pinarello-Q36.5 as they targeted the race with Tom Pidcock I spoke to Pidcock, Doug Ryder and Kurt Bogaerts and headed out to a feedzone to watch Pogacar pass by like a motorbike... Read it in @TimesSport here! thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

Paris-Roubaix is difficult to finish and harder to win. It is not called the Hell of the North for nothing. (£) thetimes.com/sport/cycling/… Another good one from @SAntoniRussell on what should be a great race this weekend.

This is fascinating by @ricktimes, on the other side of Augusta - away from the pristine golf course thetimes.com/sport/golf/the…

Will ‘Hell of the North’ remain a (cobbled) step too far for Tadej Pogacar? #Echobox=1775649253" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

He may be one of the most complete and decorated riders in history of his sport but Paris-Roubaix still stands between Tadej Pogacar and immortality. Can that change this weekend? ⬇️ #Echobox=1775640032" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

🚴‍♂️Tadej Pogacar - one race off immortality or a (cobbled) step too far? Paris-Roubaix is all that stands in his way, but it will take more than watts to win it. Here's my preview ahead of this Sunday's Hell of the North for @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

Earlier this year @seixas_paul told me "sometimes you have to sacrifice some parts of the year to be better ... I ride faster, I feel like I have more power." He wasn't kidding... #Itzulia2026 thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

Nineteen-year-old Paul Seixas dropping Juan Ayuso, Florian Lipowitz and Isaac del Toro in Itzulia Basque Country... unbelievable... send him to the Tour de France!

Three weeks ago I became a Dad for the first time. Today my team, @LincolnCity_FC, achieved something unfathomable and remarkable. Football, fatherhood and dreaming big - I tried to put it all into words for @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/football…

Happy Ronde van Vlaanderen day… I mean Easter… Here’s a bit about today’s race and why it’s so important to the Flemish for @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

The last Fleming to win the Tour of Flanders was Boonen in 2012. In 2026, the region will be cheering Wout van Aert and Remco Evenepoel I wrote for @TimesSport about why De Ronde is so important, more than a race it's a celebration of cultural identity thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

Thanks, John!

Can Remco Evenepoel or Wout van Aert stop Pogacar at Tour of Flanders? ✍️ @SAntoniRussell #Echobox=1775215779" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

Jonathan Vaughters told me: "I truly believe the sport is at a point where you can win the Tour de France with a clean rider. And I want to give it a shot.” We also spoke about Ben Healy, sponsorship and how to beat Tadej Pogacar for @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

🗣️ “We’re not playing the ‘beat Pogacar’ game. We’re not big fans of pissing against the wind. So it’s just a matter of finding our way around the obstacle as opposed to just trying to smash through it."

@johnthejack Thanks, John!

Excellent round-up by @SAntoniRussell (£) thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

🚲 Jonas Vingegaard enhances Tour credentials – while Evenepoel’s take a beating @SAntoniRussell why the Dane's win in Catalunya proves he remains the peloton's best hope of stopping Pogacar ⬇️ #Echobox=1774880953" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

Okay, I know Vingegaard hasn't had to face Pogacar yet, but the Dane looks good... Evenepoel on the other hand? I'm less and less convinced he's cut out for stage racing Also a shout out to Carys Lloyd with an emphatic sprint win! Me for @TimesSport thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…
