The 2024 Giro d'Italia will be the 107th edition of the so-called 'La Corsa Rosa' and will take place from 4-26 May. With a route featuring lots of time trialling, but lighter on climbing and distance, is there a chance for riders to challenge heavy favourite Tadej Pogačar for the illustrious maglia rosa? Join Dan for our in-depth preview of the race, where he covers all the key information about the race, including riders to watch and the key stages.
Dan has been crunching the numbers and takes a look at the performances of the Men's and Women's World Tour teams as well as the Pro Tour teams in the 2024 season to date. Who has performed above expectations, and who do we hope to see more from during the rest of the season?
There was a predictable result in men's race at Liège-Bastogne-Liège but the women's was all action. Dan is back to bring you up to speed with the latest results and news from across the world of cycling. Join him as he reviews Liège-Bastogne-Liège, La Flèche Wallonne and the Tour of the Alps before looking forward to this week's racing.
It was all kicking off at Amstel Gold yesterday, with Matthieu Van Der Poel NOT winning a race, and Lorena Wiebes also NOT winning a race... Fortunately Dan is back to round up all the latest news and views from the world of bike racing, including Brabantse Pijl, the French Cup and Giro Da Bruzzo.
