Strade Bianche is synonymous with its white roads, the 2020 edition incorporating some 60km of gravel riding. South African interest will be on NTT Pro Cycling's race tactics, as well as Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio chances in the women's race. Live on Supersport 10 from 3:10pm.

If it's July, it must be Le Tour de France time, right? Well, not quite. With Le Tour getting off to later start than normal, our annual Le Tour de France Guide is scheduled to hit the shelves in the next few weeks. For now, enjoy a retrospective look at our last three covers!

'After Strade Bianche I will just keep my fingers crossed that everything will still be on the program and that the health situation will relax a little bit.' Annemiek returns to the World Tour on 1 August. But first, some racing in the Basque Country next week.

Speculation Ends. It's official. Chris Froome is in his final year with Team INEOS. ' I look forward to exciting new challenges as I move into the next phase of my career but in the meantime my focus is on winning a fifth Tour de France with Team INEOS.' Chris Froome.

The Lucca camp will coincide with the Virtual Tour de France, which is currently on the go. Africa's Team have already made their mark there with stage 1 going to Ryan Gibbons. Onward and upward! #NTTProCycling #LeTour #SouthAfrica

Later this week sees NTT Pro Cycling training in Lucca. Just over a fortnight of team training will hone fitness and team spirit ahead of the resumption of the 2020 racing season later this month. #NTTProCycling #LeTour #Lucca

@antmccrossan what is the status of rules relating to littering by riders? When are we going to see an alternative plan for empty drink bottles in the racing peloton? Bottles thrown deep into forests and rivers in beautiful places.

Daryl on Le Tour 2019: 'It's all about Adam.' Find out more in our annual Tour de France Guide. On the shelves from 12 June. #TourdeFrance #LeTour #DarylImpey

Hey what about a shout out to her road riding ace partner @AnnavdBreggen who shared the @CapeEpic leaders jersey all week?! What a dominant performance ladies, no doubt you'll inspire many young ladies to ride.

Elia posted (yet) another win for "The Wolfpack" As Roglic underlined his class (and GC lead) up Jebel Jais. The final stage winner? Ireland's own Sam Bennett. #UAETOUR

"Ale-Jet" showed is stripes on Green Mountain And Caleb showed his new colours at the top of the dam...#UAETour

Memories of Desert Racing. It started with the yellow train Then a close sprint by Fernando...#UAETour

Defending champion Michael Valgren goes into Saturday's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad well-trained and super-motivated. And in new colours. Good luck Africa's Team! #bicycleschangelives

'Although I only have three teammates with me, they did an amazing job. But I know that nothing is won in advance, Taaramaë remains a dangerous rival.' Merhawi's dominance of the Tour du Rwanda continues.

'All I can say is I am super happy and thanks to the team, we need to carry on like this now going into the next races.' Giacomo Nizzolo, winner stage 6, Tour of Oman Keep it rollin' Africa's Team! #BicyclesChangeLives

Daryl: 'I didn’t think I would be taking the jersey back to Europe just because I had the odds against me, just shows you it is never over till it's over.' Fly the flag the well Daryl. Hope to see more of this in 2019.

12min55sec. The time it took for Eddie to take Africa's Team's first victory of 2019. 'It is great to get a win again, and so early in the new season too. I was happy with how my ride went and the sensations I felt on our new BMC time trial bike.' #bicycleschangelives

No contest barring equipment failure which is unlikely with all these @canyon_bikes in Mathieu's quiver. He hasn't breathed and is breaking Van Aert lap by lap. Maybe his year @UCI_MTB World Cup?

Van der Poel is technically better and already gone away again. The big Dutchman eats a few seconds off the Belgian on tight corners and muddy climbs.

Someone from cycling SA needs to explain to our cycling community the logic behind the madness of entry fees for professional cyclists and also paying them R300 after a grueling race. How must these athletes survive?
