Sans or Avec Zwift? That is the question. Chris, David and Gary are already looking forward to next July and August after the routes of both Tours de France are announced. Ventoux, Col d’Eze, Montjuic and Le Markstein are but some of the names whetting the collective appetite with only 8 months until both Grand Departs.

The team also look back at the World Track Championships that concluded at the weekend in Santiago, with varying successes for their respective nations, and look even further back to Eddy Merckx’s legendary Hour in Mexico City. Plus ‘cross is back and just what is it with the Brits and hill climbing? (We’re not sure either.)

📸 This past week saw the glitzy presentation of the routes of the 2026 Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. But the race wasn’t always announced with such razzmatazz and it wasn’t until Jean Marie LeBlanc’s stewardship of the race in the 1990s that each year’s route was announced with anything more than a press conference. Indeed, the inaugural edition of the world’s most famous bike race was announced to the world on 19 January 1903 in a single column in L’Auto. (Credit: unknown/via lefrancophille.com)
