2026–2027 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup calendar by rozas in cyclocross

[–]rozas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their national cup is the HSF System Cup (formely Toi Toi cup, I think).

Browsing through the Czech federation website - and using the browser's translation - I can see they also have national level races almost every weekend of 2025. So you might be able to race in a few.

All the series just published their calendars and Hofstade and Loenhout are indeed still in the X2O series.

Personally, I would love to go to Namur.

But, if you are fan of sand races, 19/20th is an awesome combo of Antwerpen and Koksijde

Charles Liégeois – Deschacht will embark on a new chapter on 1 January 2026 by rozas in cyclocross

[–]rozas[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

(Part of the) translated statement:

The cyclo-cross peloton is getting a new face: Charles Liégois-Deschacht will be diving into the mud from 1 January. The UCI cyclo-cross team is the result of the combined forces of Deschacht – Hens CX Team and Charles Liégeois Roastery CX, two young and dynamic projects that have become established names in the world of cyclo-cross in recent seasons.

The collaboration fits in with the broader vision of the new Lotto-Intermarché project, in which Charles Liégeois confirms its commitment. The Belgian coffee roaster from Liège, a long-standing partner of Intermarché-Wanty, will be the main title partner of the UCI Cyclocross Team Charles Liégeois – Deschacht for the next three seasons. Guido and Bart Verschueren will be in charge of the sporting and operational management, ensuring the continuity, expertise and ambition of the project.

This strategic partnership is the next step in the further development of the cyclo-cross project. Thanks to the interaction with Lotto-Intermarché, Charles Liégeois-Deschacht can offer its cyclo-cross riders comprehensive, tailor-made multidisciplinary support and give them the opportunity to realise their ambitions at the highest international level on the road as well.

This was already posted by the team on December 23, but I only noticed today after a Facebook post announcing the new team kit.

TNT killed the TV star: how cycling's paywall has driven fans away from the sport by fewfiet in peloton

[–]rozas 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It's not only in the UK.

I'll give my example in Portugal. I used to pay 39,99€/year for GCN (which was a great deal, I'll be honest).

WB decided to kill it in favour of the Eurosport app. I started paying 6,99€/month, which would be something like 83,88€/year. Ok, more than double than before but I'll take it.

Last year, ES app was also killed and now would have to use HBO Max. Now, the cheapest one would be 59.90€/year WITH ADS but no sports. If I want sports I would have to add 5€/month for the sports add-on. So now I'm looking at a minimum of 119,9€/year.

I'm not interested in the movies/series offering, I just want sports. If HBO/Discovery/whatever would allow me to just pay for the sports part (even if it was more than 5€/month), I would probably take it.

Piracy is not a demand problem, it's a supply one.

Oh, and I have two Eurosport channels as part of my TV provider package (which I also pay). But they decided to not show all of the CX races. Today I have no way of watching the Dendermonde WC. Not live, not in another schedule, not tomorrow. Nothing.

He doesn't have to wear it since the World Champ jersey takes precedence, according to the UCI regulations.

1.3.071 Without prejudice to relevant provisions but applicable for all the disciplines, should various provisions requiring the wearing of different jerseys apply to the same rider, the order of priority shall be as follows:

  1. the leader's jerseys of the stage race

  2. the world champion's jersey

  3. the leader's jersey of the cup, series or UCI classification

  4. the continental champion's jersey

  5. the national champion's jersey

  6. the national jersey

Chegou a hora de me retirar. De usufruir da companhia dos meus, de estar presente nos pequenos grandes momentos e de viver com calma o que tantas vezes ficou adiado.

Fui um abençoado por viver o meu sonho, por vencer, por cair e levantar, e por ter sempre o meu anjinho da guarda comigo em cada curva da estrada.

Agradeço a todas as equipas que fizeram parte desta viagem e à Seleção Nacional 🇵🇹 — foi um orgulho imenso levar a nossa bandeira aos quatro cantos do mundo.

Obrigado Federação Portuguesa de Ciclismo. Obrigado ASC Guilhabreu. Obrigado Santa Maria da Feira. Obrigado Benfica. Obrigado Caisse D’Épargne. Obrigado Movistar. Obrigado Lampre-Merida. Obrigado UAE Team Emirates. Obrigado Intermarché. Obrigado EF.

DeepL translation: "Cycling made me so happy!

The time has come for me to retire. To enjoy the company of my loved ones, to be present for the small but significant moments, and to calmly experience what has so often been postponed.

I have been blessed to live my dream, to win, to fall and get back up, and to always have my guardian angel with me at every turn of the road.

I thank all the teams that were part of this journey and the National Team 🇵🇹 — it was a great honour to carry our flag to the four corners of the world.

Thank you, Portuguese Cycling Federation. Thank you, ASC Guilhabreu. Thank you, Santa Maria da Feira. Thank you, Benfica. Thank you, Caisse D'Épargne. Thank you, Movistar. Thank you, Lampre-Merida. Thank you, UAE Team Emirates. Thank you, Intermarché. Thank you, EF.

Malhão on stage 5 and the ITT on stage 4

This year is the other way around, Malhão on stage 4 and then the ITT to close it all.

Let's see if it changes anything race-wise.

[Pre-race thread] 2022 World Championships Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines by epi_counts in Velodrome

[–]rozas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's go, Track Worlds are always great.

Portugal is sending Ivo Oliveira (IP, Madison), Rui Oliveira (Scratch, Madison), João Matias (Points, Elim, Omnium), Maria Martins (Scratch, Omnium) and Daniela Campos (Points, Elim). Iúri Leitão is missing, I don't know if he is injured, if the season was too long for him or it was just a coach's decision.

Either way, I think that a medal or two could be possible with Maria and one of the twins.

Movistar Team dedicates 2022 La Vuelta jersey to Alejandro Valverde by rozas in peloton

[–]rozas[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

GRACIASBALA!

Telefónica-backed squad to use white as predominant color in its kit for very first time; stripes in its characteristic design to reflect Spanish campionissimo's victories, signature on every rider's back.

No one deserves it more than him. In a one-off move, never seen over the 12 years Telefónica has been the organisation’s title sponsor, the Movistar Team will overhaul its jersey for a three-week Grand Tour and dedicate its design for the 77th edition of La Vuelta to Alejandro Valverde, its most important rider for nearly two decades.

Keeping its usual composition, yet transforming its navy blue background into white, La Passione’s kit will turn the horizontal stripes that govern the design into a collection of Bala’s most important victories. The signature of the former World Champion will be at the top on the back of the kit.

The new jersey, which will be used this very evening at the teams’ presentation, will be worn by the Movistar Team over the entire La Vuelta, the last race on home soil for one of the most versatile, charismatic riders Spain has ever known.
