A longer stop in Poland than I'm used to. I had no idea how much I needed this break, but I'm ready to slowly* get back on the bike again.
And even though I'm extra motivated and ready to start building things up again, ready to fight for my goals and dreams, ready to live out of a suitcase and ready to give it my absolute best, the last month has also made me realise that there are waaay more important things in life than cycling.
And even though that might sound totally obvious, when you're someone who always tries to give 100% to whatever you do, sometimes it's not quite that obvious.
*And by slowly, I mean SUPER slowly. So let's just pretend it's not THAT slow when you overtake me. Thank you 📷" -Dominika Włodarczyk 🇵🇱 (@UAETeam_LIMAD)
Medical Update: Ceylin del Carmen Alvarado (@FenixPrTe)
"Ceylin Alvarado sustained a ligament sprain in her thumb following her crash at the European Championships. Further examinations have ruled out a ligament tear.
She will wear a custom-made brace, and her return to cyclo-cross racing will depend on how her recovery progresses.
We wish her a speedy recovery! 🤞" - Fenix - Premier Tech

"I don’t take on external pressure. The pressure I place on myself is already high and demanding enough, so I don’t let outside pressure affect me. Cycling is a sport where the goal is to win, but that isn’t always possible; that’s why you have to enjoy every victory—they are special moments.
The leap in terms of results has been significant, but in terms of actual performance, the margins between a good climber and an elite-level one are very small. It’s not something you can see on television, but the general level is incredibly tight, and a small step forward can completely change the results. I don’t know how my body will respond or how much more I will develop; all I can do is train hard and see how I progress over time.
I really like the cobblestones. Even back in the U19 category, I enjoyed those kinds of races. For now, I’ll stick to my current schedule, but once I gain more experience and achieve other goals, I’d like to try my hand at the cobbles.
I still don't know what I'll be doing next year or what my race schedule will look like. Having raced the Tour this year doesn't guarantee my spot in the next one. The World Championships are an absolute priority: they’re taking place very close to my home and where my family lives, so it’s a unique opportunity that I want to prepare for as thoroughly as possible.
Tadej is the best cyclist in the world, and perhaps the best in history. The stages are demanding and different from last year’s, but at the end of the day, it’s the Tour de France—it’s always going to be tough.
I’m still just a normal guy. The main change has been on a professional level: it’s become harder to balance my studies at the Emlyon Business School alongside my obligations, team commitments, and various events. I have less free time, and what little I do have, I dedicate entirely to being with my family and friends.” said Paul Seixas 🇫🇷 (@decathloncmacgm), @marca

"Back to bike riding! Still all about having fun, with a bit of leg-burning, lung-burning acceleration thrown into the mix!
Grateful to have people around me who bring out the best in me and allow me to fully enjoy being on the bike and exploring the world. No feeling of getting back into a training schedule, just enjoying the ride while still getting what I need satisfaction -wise🤸🏻♂️😃👌🏻" - Kasia Niewiadoma 🇵🇱 (@LidlTrek)

European Cyclocross Championships: "I’m actually doing okay, though I still get a bit emotional when I look back at the footage of the race, In my opinion, it was the best race I’ve ever ridden. I can be proud of what I achieved.
I wasn't given the space to tell my side. After the finish, we were called to the jury to review the footage. There were three commissaires present. I tried to explain my side of the story, but I wasn't given the opportunity to do so. I find that incredibly disrespectful and unfair.
Lucinda (herself stated afterwards that it was a fair sprint. She hadn't even lodged a protest; it was purely a decision made by the race jury. Two of the three commissaires were actually on my side, They also felt it was a fair sprint, but the head of the jury remained unmoved and decided to disqualify me regardless.
I understand why they are doing this, given the lack of transparency from the jury and how they handled the whole situation. The way they dealt with this is unprofessional." said Marie Schreiber 🇱🇺 (@teamsdworx), @RTLlu
The Luxembourg Cycling Federation (FSCL) has filed a formal complaint with the European Cycling Union (UEC). The federation is asking the UEC to overturn the decision and declare Schreiber the European champion.
"Off season post ☀️ Mostly recovering from the crash 🫠 but the good thing is I’m back on the bike and slowly building up." - Lorena Wiebes (@teamsdworx)
