Stages 3 and 4 wrapped up at BC Bike Race 2019
Yesterday we summarised the action so far, via the press releases from BC Bike Race. But stage races don’t stop – here’s a look at Stages 3 and 4. In Solo Men it was looking more and more like a game of inches between frontrunners Geoff Kabush (Team Yeti-Maxxis) and Felix Burke (Rocky Mountain). A […]
Tour de Timor stage1: Vaz and Ricardo take race lead!
The Tour de Timor got underway through the streets of Dili this morning. A neutral 20km section through the neighourhoods of Dili showcased the event to the locals whom all seeming get behind this race. Thousands of screaming fans cheered the riders more or less from start to finish of today’s 83km stage. Another example […]

Costa Blanca Bike Race Stage 4
Stage 4, the finale of Costa Blanca Bike Race 2016, a 7km timetrial. The route looked simple enough on paper but there was a great big dirty 300 meter ascent in the last 2km’s. There was talk of there being sections of 30 or 40 percent gradient, not possible we thought! On arriving to the […]
Costa Blanca Bike Race stage 3 – The queen stage
Costa Blanca Bike Race stage 3, the queen stage. The stats of 78km’s and 2776 meters of ascent don’t tell the story. Forget easy fireroad alpine miles, this was as rough as you’ve ever seen. I’ve seen downhill World Cups on easier trails. I never thought I’d ride more technical trails that Beskidy Trophy until […]
Costa Blanca Bike Race Stage 2
In stark contrast to yesterday’s start today was pretty cold but the racing was still red hot. There are some seriously quick cross country riders here honing their form and collecting some UCI points for their Olympic qualification. Jirka Novák and Sebastian, plus Yana Belomoina and Margot Moschetti, both CST Superior Brentjens teams started the […]
Costa Blanca Bike Race Stage 1
Golden beaches and warm blue skies, the start of Costa Blanca Bike Race stage 1 could have been a dream of any cyclist. After a short dash through the streets of Benidorm the international field of athletes were treated to a fantastic route with some truly amazing singletrack. Sadly after 30km of the route course […]
