#TCRNo9 is here. transcontinental.cc/tcrno9-2…. Starting once again on Flandrien cobbles, this year’s route guides our intrepid, self-supported riders south and east; across Alpine passes, through sheer gorges and along ancient roads, finally coming to rest on the edge of Europe...

Questions on #PBP. It’s not something that has appealed to me before, but some things may align to give me qualification, so I’m curious. What are the highlights of the route? Does everyone treat it as a race? What is your motivation for the event?

FIN And, like that, #TCRNo8 has come to an end on the shores of the Black Sea in Bulgaria. Exactly 16 days after leaving the TCR's Belgian home. Our GC Lanterne Rouge group made it to Burgas just before the 22.00CEST cutoff. Meanwhile, just over 30 riders are still on the road...

Tensions are very high currently between Serbia and Kosovo, with reports of barricades going up in Serb areas of the province and clashes. It’s an evolving situation tonight but it’s possible that Serbia has upped the ante as part of a geopolitical move coordinated with Russia

It’s taken 4 hours to get to about 3 miles from the Eurotunnel. Have moved 100 meters in past 50 minutes. Gonna take a little while to catch this train! #tcrno8cap5
