Update on Ineos-TotalEnergies 🇫🇷A French UCI licence? 🚵‍♂️Two French riders lined up ✍️But wait: no signings being completed because... 😬 Ineos-TotalEnergies is not a guarantee ✖️until a new co-sponsor is found, everything's paralysed 😴Ineos "sleep too much" And much more!
Escape Collective@EscapeCycling

The Ineos Grenadiers are starting to turn things around, but big problems remain. The biggest? No co-sponsor yet. That's holding up everything else, according to our sources inside the team. escapecollective.com/ineos-plans-fo…

Start of stage three of the Giro d'Italia is delayed because Primoz Roglič has gone missing. And, well, obviously, the race can't start without its leader. "Primoz, please come to the start, please," calls the PA announcer - again. #WheresRoglic

@Lawton_Times writes that TotalEnergies close to title sponsorship with Ineos - as I reported in March: escapecollective.com/exclusive-tota…. I hear negotiations haven't been easy, with TotalEnergies wanting certain conditions (such as a French UCI licence) that Ineos were unhappy with.

Ineos Grenadiers are close to agreeing a multimillion-pound sponsorship deal with TotalEnergies that insiders believe will restore the team’s status as one of the strongest in the peloton Read the full story by @Lawton_Times ⬇️ thetimes.com/sport/cycling/…

I like Albania and its imperfections. But the Giro d'Italia doesn't. Traffic, stray dogs, potholes. Publicly there's been no criticism of the host country, but privately there has been. The crashes and stress on stage one were entirely predictable. rouleur.cc/blogs/the-roul…

Just rode the finishing loop of Giro stage one in Tirana. Very green, beautiful, forested, with the city sitting in the valley bowl - visually reminded me of Bilbao. The climb's too hard for the sprinters, but too easy for GC lot. My bet: Pidcock.

One Cycling is at a pivot point. Pro road racing's much-discussed reform project is still moving forward but may be delayed amid headwinds. escapecollective.com/one-cycling-is…

#Bikepacking query. Has anyone ever crossed from Kosovo into North Macedonia with their bike? A lot of conflicting accounts online on whether it's possible or not. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Wondering who Kim Le Court is? And how a MTBer from Mauritius ended up in the women's WorldTour in her late 20s? Here's my profile int. with her from last spring. Chatted again with her recently where she correctly predicted she'd do well in the Ardennes. rouleur.cc/blogs/the-roul…

Cycling has entered the era of super-agents. 💯Some have over 100 riders 💰They're among the richest people in the sport 💪Their influence is growing every year 🚵‍♂️Teams are becoming ever more reliant on them 🧑‍⚖️Agents employ lawyers, tax experts, etc – they're huge operations.
