Quick-Step Floor's Fernando Gaviria and Max Richeze test their leadout in the Win Tunnel.
See Fernando's Venge:
In this special pre-Tour episode, Chris Yu discusses leadout strategy with Fernando Gaviria and Max Richeze (the only wheel Fernando follows) of Quick-Step Floors. Want to know details, like how 60kph is the ideal leadout train speed with one kilometer to go, or that Max hits 1300 watts at 400m to go? You're in the right place. The trio gets into the Win Tunnel to see just how much power you can save by drafting in a World Tour sprint leadout.

Top level cyclo-cross resumes in Europe with the Brico Cross series, whilst the final round of the Red Hook Crit took place in Milan, with our very own James Lowsley Williams taking part.
Paris Tours - one of the oldest classics in cycling. It began in 1896, and throughout its history, it has consistently re-invented itself. This year, that was in the form of gravel roads, 9 sectors of the rough stuff through vineyards - organisers ASO clearly jumping on the bandwagon, hoping to emulate the popularity of Strade Bianche, a race which has become one of the season’s main attractions, despite being just 12 editions young.
It certainly changed the race - Paris Tours has, in the last few decades, been a race where sprinters have had their chance, where the question of breakaway or bunch often hung in the balance until the final metres of the race. This year, the sprinters had no chance, the peloton was decimated with groups littering the road with still 50km’s remaining. Making the most of the conditions was Soren Kragh Andersen - the Dane soloing to victory. A consummate display of skill and strength, but he had also taken advantage of a spat between Niki Terpstra and Benoit Cosnefroy.
One race that has remained true to its roots, albeit a much younger event, is the Munsterland Giro. This year’s event finished with a vastly reduced sprint after crosswinds saw some major splits in the peloton. Upsetting the favourites was Max Walscheid of Team Sunweb - a Giant win in more ways than one - he got the better of John Degenkolb and Nils Politt on an all-German podium.
Down in Italy, racing resumed on Saturday with the Giro dell’Emilia - a climbers classic which finishes the 5th time up the brutal San Luca climb, 2km’s long with an average gradient of over 10%. Alessandro De Marchi spent a decent amount of those final laps out front on his own, a move which looked futile but which ultimately paid off - the Italian held of Rigoberto Uran and teammate Dylan Teuns to take the first one day win of his career.

This week in the world of cycling we learned that the route for next year’s Tour De France is one for the climbers with more classified mountains than in any other Tour route in history. And we also learned why Dan has gone to Bologna for his holidays. The city has launched a scheme called Bella Mossa to incentivise people to travel by bike or foot instead of cars, and it’s done so by offering beer as a reward!
Now this week, we’re talking cycling folklore. We do our utmost here at GCN to share the most accurate information, knowledge and insight available about our sport. But sometimes, despite all the effort, some myths just won’t go away. Firstly then, pedalling technique - how you pedal doesn't matter! In fact, if you take the fastest, most powerful cyclists as the benchmark, you’ll see that they pedal less smoothly than the rest of us.
You have a perfect saddle height, and it’s measured in mm. There’s no such thing as mm perfect bike fit. We’re really throwing the cat among the pigeons now. The bike fit. We’re not saying they’re not worth it, they are. For many people, it transforms their riding, from painful to pain-free.
Lastly, you can't wear pro kit if you're not a pro. There is no shame in wearing pro team kit when you’re not a pro! Replica kit isn’t frowned on in other sports, so why cycling? Some cyclists will disagree, but showing your allegiance to a rider or a team is fine by us.

*Breaking team news - Phil Bauhaus has pulled out due to illness and will be replaced by Max Walscheid.*
Once again, la Vuelta is the shortest grand tour of the season at 3255 km’s, starting on the South coast in Malaga and eventually heading to its now traditional finish in Madrid, where we’ll also see the 4th women’s Madrid Challenge. On their website, the Vuelta organisers say that there are 8 flat stages, but two of those are flat stages with a high altitude finish, which I thought was quite funny, even if the sprinters won’t. Beyond that, there are 6 hilly stages, which presumably means hilly from start to finish, 5 mountain stages and 2 time trials.
Over the course of the 21 stages, there are 46 summits, i.e. categorised climbs, and the first of those comes already on stage 2, with a 2nd category climb from the gun, two 3rd category climbs in the middle and then another one at the finish, the Caminito Del Rey. And then it’s not long before we get the first big mountaintop finish, which comes on stage 4 on the 12 km long Puerto de Alfacar. Which has gradients over 11% around halfway up.
The first main shakeup on the GC is expected to come in the second week, following a tough 7 days of ‘intermediate stages’ in week one. Three summit finishes in a row, from Stage 13-15, whilst not high summit finishes, these will certainly see positions change in the overall standings. From a visual perspective, Lagos de Covadonga will provide stunning backdrops for the third mountain finish in a row on stage 15, just before the 2nd and final rest day.
