No more previews in 2013

My preview of Sunday’s Il Lombardia was the last of its kind this year. My season is over and there won’t be any more previews here in 2013. I want to thank you all for reading during the season - I’m very happy for your kind words! Now I’ll take some days off and then I’ll start planning 2014.

Thank you for a great season!

Get ready for La Vuelta

Vuelta a España 2013 kicks off in about two weeks and it’s time to start getting ready for the third and last Grand Tours this year.

The riders have been fine-tuning their shape the last couple of weeks and if you want to see who’s already doing great, be sure to follow Vuelta a Burgos and Eneco Tour this and next week. There are free online live streams for all the stages in Vuelta a Burgos while Eurosport is broadcasting Eneco Tour starting on Monday (12^th of August).

If you want to try out this Vuelta España for yourself, why not pick one of the 22 teams and give it a go in the new Pro Cycling Manager game? Click on the banner below to download the game and see if you have what it takes to win the Red Jersey in Madrid.

I will publish my Overall Preview of La Vuelta in a week or so and of course, there will be daily stage previews throughout the race. Stay tuned for more!

Tour de Romandie

Due to technical problems, there won't be any stage previews for Tour de Romandie this year. I will however be posting a few thoughts about the stages on Twitter during the week.
