Even while bikers are racing down the trails, Bike Fest Duluth is packed with people who have come to support.“Watching these races is almost as fun as doing them. So yeah, incredible spectator event as well,” said Ansel Schimpff, Executive Director of Cyclists of Gitche Gumme Shores (COGGS) and member of the Bike Duluth planning committee. The more visitors riding to Spirit Mountain for the event weekend, the more volunteers are needed to run the show. “Volunteers are kind of the only way that we can have events like this. So, we put out a lot of asks to the…
Tadej Pogacar has been absolutely headlining this Tour de France with incredibly performances in all terrains and a popularity that never fades. But he’s also been in the spotlight for other reasons over the past week including an investigation into carbon monoxide rebreathing in the World Tour and also a mysterious figure ‘Mou’ who many believe is a mole within the UAE Team Emirates structure that has been letting out information that at points appears quite convincing. Pogacar was asked about this the carbon monoxide topic after stage 16 but gave a very vague answer, replying he did not know…
Wout Poels had to alter his preparations in spring, when the Giro d’Italia was replaced by Tour de France in his schedule. The ambition was clear as his team Bahrain – Victorious were hopeful the Dutchman could repeat his stage victory from 2023, but the harsh reality is that just like many other riders in the bunch, Poels is dealing with mild illness, not allowing him to contest the prizes. “I’m really completely ruined,” he admits in his column at Algemeen Dagblad. “But we dreamed of this as a little boy, right? Oh, in a weekend like this it’s not…

Yes, Louis Meintjes was in the mix from the breakaway, however it was long clear that it will between GC favourites on Pla d’Adet. The main goal of the Belgian formation was getting the green jersey Biniam Girmay safely through the day, which they accomplished with full marks. “The intermediate sprint wasn’t part of my plan today to be honest, but suddenly Jasper tried to be there so I needed…
Caley Fretz, Jonny Long, Iain Treloar, and Joe Lindsey contributed reporting to this article. Escape Collective can reveal that multiple Tour de France teams are using the controversial and potentially dangerous practice of inhaling the deadly gas carbon monoxide to optimise their athletes’ altitude training. At least three teams, including the Visma-Lease a Bike and UAE Team Emirates squads of top contenders Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar, and Israel-Premier Tech have access to an expensive device called a carbon monoxide rebreather, which allows for the precise dosing of carbon monoxide into the lungs. While a recent arrival to cycling, the…

What you mightn’t know is that they’re just as good at turning their cameras away from the racing, capturing the many interesting individuals found roadside at races like the Tour de France. Some of the people the Grubers shoot are are simply overjoyed at being able to witness the Tour first-hand. Others are less stoked, having spent long hours in the French sun for the briefest glimpse of the action (plus maybe…

So now Vingegaard will be relying on the young Jorgenson in the team’s quest to three-peat at the Tour. With an historic win…
One of the running themes of the 2024 Tour de France has been drama between Belgian compatriots Wout van Aert and Jasper Philipsen. Sadly, the pair continue to trade barbs via post and pre-stage interviews, even now, more than halfway through the Grand Tour. It all started back on stage 6. Philipsen had initially crossed the line in second, but the Alpecin-Deceuninck man was subsequently relegated by the race jury due to what they perceived as a dangerous move in the final sprint where he almost forced van Aert into the barriers. Post-stage, van Aert lashed out at Philipsen. “I…
