2026 Races....Spoilers.

[No Ta Doctor]

I think that there about 5 world tour teams present, but a lot of stagiaries feature on team rosters.
There is live coverage, but only Slovak commentary.
Tiz has on demand replays. I think today’s stage is quite lumpy.

Ah, slovaško, as the Slovenians call it. Or Slovenčina as the Slovaks call it

Nice to see Tao and Leo Hayter in the break in Luxembourg.

Today's stage looks ideal for Kevin too, but Rondel might want a word about that.

KV 1st and Rondel 2nd!

KV 1st and Rondel 2nd!

I'll DM you tomorrow's lottery numbers later.

Nice to see Tao and Leo Hayter in the break in Luxembourg.

It's the biggest race Leo's been in since he quit Ineos in '24. Hope he's enjoying his cycling. There's a TT for him to have a go at tomorrow.
Hope Tao's enjoying it as well, he's had rough old time of it, fingers crossed EF is where it clicks again for him somehow. Also hope the two of them have a chance to chat, they're both thoughtful souls that have had to deal with some horrible stuff.

When did Piganzoli become a tester?
Thin field, but job done.

Luxembourg
Excellent effort by Piganzoli to win today's time-trial stage and increase his GC lead. Now has 47 sec lead going into tomorrow's final stage

3rd For Leo Hayter, which is nice

The field wasn't that thin - Julius Johansen has five or six TT wins this year alone and a fair few of the GC potential riders can put in a decent effort (e.g. Kragh)

 

[No Ta Doctor]

Henrik Pedersen taking Flandrien 0.0 Classic is massive for him, it's his first pro win, and a 1.Pro race that's got a load of decent riders in is nothing to be sniffed at. He was 3rd in the GC for Tour of Denmark this year and looks like he's got plenty of potential

MvdP using the Pog playbook in Luxembourg as a sharpener for Montreal.

 

[misforturob]

MvdP training day at Luxembourg

 

[wakemalcolm]

He's endangering Pollit's coveted 12th place on GC so it's been reined in already.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

He’s riding away from everyone. Over 3 minutes clear of the chasers and over 4 minutes ahead of the peloton.

 

[Hommelbier]

35km left and MvdP still has just over 3min lead

 

[Hommelbier]

Now down to 25km to finish and gap remains at c3min
