Tim Merlier won the seventh stage of the Tour de France in Bordeaux. The peloton is shell-shocked after Tadej Pogacar's dominant mountain stage performance, which has given him a seemingly unassailable lead over Jonas Vingegaard. The focus has shifted to the battle for second and third place.
Tim Merlier secured victory in the seventh stage of the Tour de France in Bordeaux. The peloton is shell-shocked by Tadej Pogacar's dominance in the mountain stage, with many believing his victory is already assured.
Sepp Kuss achieved a historic solo victory in Stage 19 of the Giro d'Italia, while teammate Jonas Vingegaard maintained his overall lead. Kuss became the 116th rider to win stages in all three Grand Tours.
The routes for the three UK stages of the 2027 Tour de France Femmes have been revealed, featuring a gruelling 154km second stage from Manchester to Sheffield with nearly 3,000m of climbing through the Peak District's iconic Winnats Pass. The race begins with an 85.7km stage from Leeds to Manchester and concludes with an 18km team time trial finishing on London's Pall Mall - a first for the women's event. English rider Cat Ferguson, 19, said the stages will be 'super brutal' and could change the General Classification. Both men's and women's Grand Departs will take place in Britain simultaneously for the first time outside France.
