Some surprises and some not-no-surprised, but a great edition of a classic race, with Tadej, MVDP, Wout, Remco, Mads Pedersen, Demi Vollering, Puck Pieterse, and Pauline Ferrand-Prevot all putting on a good show in Belgium. www.whiskeytangofondo.com https://patreon.com/PhilGaimon?utm_medium=
Full update on the latest races and cycling news, with focus on Gent Wevelgem/In Flanders Fields but we can't neglect E3 Saxo Harelbeke and Volta Catalunya. Some news from Strava, as well as the background and latest on a SoCal road rage story that we'll have to continue following.

We've had lots of interactions over the years between fans and pro riders (to varying degrees of disaster), from training rides, to during races, to hotels in the middle of the night. As a rider, a fan, and a resident of Los Angeles where I've seen a lot of celebrity interactions I've seen and been on all sides of this, and thought it would be worthwhile to discuss where the line is for fans, as well as common sense best practices for pros.

Fascat Coaching: https://fascatcoaching.com/ Coachcat Training App: https://fascatcoaching.com/app I retired from pro cycling ten years ago, but I still share my exploits and train as much as I can. The questions I get most often are "how much fitness have you lost since the pro days?" And "Are you going back to reclaim the KOM that you first got 8 years ago?" I came from a world where you train at home, but your race schedule is the real training, so have been pleasantly surprised at the nu...

I pushed myself in every race, every workout, every interval, but the Mauna Kea episode got me thinking about the handful of times where it was another level--where I had more to lose or gain, and I not only emptied the tank, but I left a piece of myself on the road. This video goes through those very special occasions. Video version https://youtu.be/DYuM85nVOgU
Breakaway tactics are complicated so let me BREAK it down for you (get it? Sorry). Basically, it's international diplomacy except bike teams, negotiated at 160 BPM. That's why it goes wrong so often.

This episode gives a breakdown of the 2026 racing season so far. What should we react to? What are we overreacting to? Tadej casually training while Remco win and Jonas crashes in training.
