Vélo de route

From the Passo di Stelvio to the Sella Ronda, these are five of the classic Italian road bike climbs to include on next summer's hit list.

It took the men’s Tour de France almost 50 years to climb Alpe d’Huez; the women’s Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift will do it in its third year. But it’ll be a long road to get there…

The 2024 men’s Tour is full of firsts – but there’s a whole load of classic climbs in there too, including the highest road ever taken by any grand tour.

How should you analyse the data you receive from your power meter, and how can you use it to improve all aspects of your performance (including how you feel on the bike)?

There are significant benefits—both physiological and psychological—to taking a break from riding bikes during the transition phase. (Don’t call it an offseason!).

The men’s pro peloton is gathering in northern Italy for one last hurrah: the most beautiful – and most mountainous – of all the Classics, Il Lombardia.

From cycling’s heartland in Belgium to the very eastern edge of Europe: the Transcontinental Race takes riders across a continent and defines a style of racing.

Discover the beautiful and equally challenging climbs just around the corner for the iconic Alpe d’Huez.

Understanding your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) will allow you to pace your next training session, alpine ride or race to perfection.

One of the most remarkable things about cycling is how little it has changed. But what has been lost, in the mainstream of the sport at least, is a certain spirit of adventure.
