Can Pogacar beat Van der Poel? ‘He will never be the favourite for Roubaix for me,’ says Gilbert The Classics are almost here again. Omloop Het Nieuwsblad next weekend will set the stage for the opening weekend of the spring, and the big question is the same as ever: who will dominate? Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel look hard to beat, but the hungry challengers are lining up — and who b...

No caution this time from Del Toro, who took Pogacar’s advice very literally He had already shown his legs on Jebel Mobrah, but on Jebel Hafeet Isaac Del Toro left no room for doubt. The Mexican grabbed the bull by the horns, rode Antonio Tiberi off his wheel and moved into the race lead. Del Toro (UAE Team Emirates–XRG) is now firmly on course for overall victory at the UAE...

‘Don’t wake sleeping dogs’: Rockets foiled again by Pogačar, who destroys Strava KOMs Not only amateurs treat chasing KOMs on Strava as a big deal. Pros regularly challenge each other on the well-known platform too. It adds something fun to training — that extra bit of motivation to push harder. But Unibet Rose Rockets are learning the hard way that there is always someone faster. Ta...

De Lie has telling words on Van der Poel and Pogacar dominance: “A lost day” Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogacar split all five Monuments between them in 2025. When one of the two lines up — or both — everyone else knows it is going to be a very tough assignment. Arnaud De Lie admits he even bases part of his spring schedule around that reality, he told Belgian outlet HLN...

Pogačar’s race schedule “influences rivals’ choices”: why UAE are staying secretive It is certain that Tadej Pogačar will ride the Tour de France and target the Spring Monuments, but what else the Slovenian has on his 2026 programme is still not fully known.

Roubaix winner Andrea Tafi explains the difference between Van der Poel and Pogacar: “Cyclocross can give you a huge advantage” The season has only just begun, but let’s be honest: we’re already looking ahead to Paris–Roubaix. The duel between Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogačar in 2025 was everything you could want—until the world champion’s crash left a slightly sour taste. Can he put the Dutchman under real pressure ag...

Isaac del Toro steps briefly out of Tadej Pogacar’s shadow: “That’s the idea for 2026” Isaac del Toro was one of the breakout stories of 2025 — the Mexican sensation of UAE Team Emirates–XRG. At just 21, he won 18 races and came agonisingly close to winning the Giro d’Italia, which naturally means he starts 2026 with a very different status. That is still something the down-to-earth r...

Fisher Black, the man to ride with Pogacar, Vingegaard, Roglic and Evenepoel: 'They're under enormous pressure' Tadej Pogacar, Jonas Vingegaard, Primoz Roglic and Remco Evenepoel are widely regarded as the ‘big four’ of the Grand Tours. Between them, they have already won no fewer than 14 three-week races. That makes it all the more remarkable that there is one rider who has raced – or will race – alongside a...

Gilbert advises overzealous Pogacar to rest in winter months: 'He is always extremely generous, gives a lot of himself' Over the past two years, Tadej Pogacar has raced just about every major event on the calendar. He started in every Monument and won the Tour de France in both seasons. But that kind of programme also comes at a cost: the season is long, and the obligations are many. Is all that activity actually goo...
