Alborghetti must have left quite an impression to get a star here without even riding made it before I saw the line up ;). See it as a honorable mention... Bondarew also really wrong. Forgot that he would not be able to keep up with all that TT power at SWP. So Stage 1: Not much to write. SWP won w...

And the favourite check: Maillot Jaune ***** Jamshid Abdurashitov (SouthWest Packers) **** *** Richard Anders (Team Bubendorf) ** Arjen Burger (CreditPommes), Corentin Poitrenaud (Tukhtahuaev), Iwan Bondarew (SouthWest Packers) * Azimbek Iskanderov (Big Donkey), Salvatore Meeus (Flandrien) Maillot V...

Due to doping allegations, all Falcor riders were banned from riding in France. We only managed to get a short statement from Max Dokker: "I swear it wasn't me, someone spiked my 16th beer yesterday!" While the team is under investigation, we wish all other teams all the best in France for the next...

Good, this other guy, unlike Tukhtahuaev, is difficult to spell.

Indeed. I've never got it why Tukhtahuaev should be difficult to spell. Anyway, nice to have one of these two here .

After the Giro is before the Giro. But first, we have to ride the Afternoon post Giro criterium in France (AGF). As almost every year, this will be one of these stage races also Team FL attends. So far, the following riders look like to be nominated to start in Barcelona (it's not the Vuelta right? ...

That spelling deserves a fine

As Falcor is a member of the FPC, I recommend to contact Harry P.

Unusual ugly update The Team FL communication department has been very lazy lately. Hence, here's an unusualy ugly update what's going on More transfer transactions: The Steinssons have already joined Team FL and leaving their mark in race. Well, not a very visible mark in not many races, but their...

First things first, the final standings. stories may or may not follow: Final standings after stage 21: General classement: 01. 00:00:00 Jamshid Abdurashitov (SouthWest Packers) 02. 00:04:27 Gabriel Lafuente (Big Donkey) 03. 00:05:17 Salvatore Meeus (Flandrien Pro Cycling) 04. 00:05:23 Tilen Trkman ...

Nice race report from Big Donkey. Just for the protocol, the standings after stage 16: General classement: 01. 00:00:00 Jamshid Abdurashitov (SouthWest Packers) 02. 00:04:28 Gabriel Lafuente (Big Donkey) 03. 00:05:04 Moreno Ottema (Romoc Riders) 04. 00:05:22 Salvatore Meeus (Flandrien Pro Cycling) 0...

For all those who are missing the rest day stories: I had a rest day as well yesterday. Guess that's the rest day story .

no time yesterday for the stage report, so stage 14 and 15 together: Stage 14 was probably the most mountain stage so far. up and down from the beginning. Which also meant Gruppetto work from the beginning. Unfortuantely, Raul Valero (Equip Ciclista Poblenou) was the first victim of this Giro, not m...

Piling up stages like nothing. Stage 13 already! And we have a new winner. Simon Mølgaard (VC Team Multi) won the sprint of the classics in front of Manfred Matt (Team FL) and Magnus Jensen (Falcor), after 189 km of mostly flat terrain with a steep hill around 15 km before the finish line. The set u...

hardly any time to do much of a report for stage 12: but it's a short story anyway. Flandrien Pro Cycling showed again that its one of the most active teams in this year's Afternoon Giro and attacked with three riders at the start of the stage. As nobody else attacked, he chose a cosy way of riding ...

Stage 11, we have a new winner! NOT! But we have a new hero: Alvaro Guerra (Equip Ciclista Poblenou). After being isolated in the back of everybody, he managed to stay in time, riding alone for around 100 km. Unfortunately he won't be fit for today's bunch sprint... Anway, were was I? Yes, stage 11,...

Well, it was not Pyry, he finished third. It was a Domingo again, Gonzales this time, to win a stage at the Giro, stage 10, the only ITT this year, in front of his team mate Raul Valero, both from Equip Ciclista Poblenou. Fourth and the new leader in the GC, the guy in Rosa, is Jamshid Abdurashitov ...

things that really give an importance to divisions before changing divisions d'accord - but any good ideas? I highly dislike the idea that higher divisions get more advantages and hence more importance. So far, the Divisions have more or less four meanings: a) fun, comparison, fight for div1 win, e...

I will not spoiler Pyrys form, but he is only 21...
And no strategy neither

Huch, almost didn't see that he's that young. So it's a 21yo against two 24yo riders for the win. the future is bright!

Anyway, today TT, Poblenou for the win! But L wants it too, how is the form setting?

My bet would be Pyry Pitkäaikainen for the win. Raul Valero and Domingo Gonzales with the better nominal TT skill, but I doubt they have better form or a better TT strategy than Pyry.

Afternoon Stories from stages three to nine (aka week 1) Week 1 of the Giro 2026 is over and there have been more stories to tell. This time, the stories will focus on the different jerseys and how they got treated during stages 3 to 9. The lazy Maglia Ciclamino The magic of the Ciclamino was very ...

Stage 9, another hockey stick, even more than the Blockhaus stage. But it was before the 2nd rest day, so everybody was in the attack. Everybody? Well, not everybody. Everybody but Confidential Era and CreditPommes (from the online teams with stage interests). Even SouthWest Packers have found joy i...
