Dan Lloyd talks you through why some are linking him to a move to Ineos Grenadiers, and what this could mean for his current team. We also round up all the racing from this week, as well as some transfer news.

Where do you think Remco will end up next year? Let us know in the comments!👇
Best to stay with Lefevre – the guy knows what he is doing and will not kill him w expectations
It's still early in Remco's career, but at this point I'd point to Boonen as Quickstep and Belgium's most recent superstar. Remco has a long way to go to equal, much less exceed, the accomplishments of Boonen and Merckx.
Cancer Detection: Probably one of the least controversial aspects of cycling's drug detection program
Welcome back, New Zealand!
Money talks may go
Hooray for New Zealand 🤣😅😂
6:00 you simply cannot have a bike race in Zagreb…for starters they would have to get rid of all the cars parking on the side of the road…since there is not enough space, nobody would move their cars and the authorities would collapse, then there are the tram rails, then there are (not only in ZG) these nasty 90 degree turns…Organizers were left wanting in this year's course design
Guess Evenepoel is at least staying 2 more seasons.
There are 4 riders who would 100% finish above him in TDF
If someone is going to say it was the best CX race ever, actually say the name of the race. Charm City Cross, Baltimore USA.
Excluding Norway, Sweded, blah, blah….don't organisers realise VPNs are a thing nowadays?
Stop blowing my ears out with headphones on
Don't go to the dark side Remco. Use the force!🤣
Go KIWIS 🙂
yay New Zealand can we get the first sign up deal that opened the GCN channel
Time to organise a celebration that GCN+ is finally going to be broadcasting all shows in NZ. My suggestion is to hold it at the Good Union in Cambridge NZ where they make specialty beers and ciders, and have big screens. If you bring the crew there’s good gravel roads, mountain bike trails, and obviously sealed roads with in a couple of hours, not to mention the velodrome about 10mins away from the pub. Something for all!!!
You didn't mention filippo ganna his hour world record attempt this saturday 😉
Yay! No more VPN for GCN 🇳🇿
A better alternative for Quickstep would be to backfill the current roster with better riders for Grand Tours.
But what was in his back pocket???
Yes, and yes. Remco has to go, to truly have the support he needs to become the TDF legend he dreams to become. Cycling legends are created in the TDF, PERIOD!
Remco is a Belgium National Treasure and mustn't be allowed to join a team owned by someone that campaigned for Brexit and then moved to Monaco, not to mention his fracking business.
NOS ASESINAN AMORDAZADOS LOS ASESINOS DE TVE.
Lefevere is The Godfather of pro cycling. Remco is a true Belgium 🇧🇪 and should stay on his home tea. would be short sighted and a fool to join the British team!
Finally
Thanks Dan. I think Remco will stay for another year just to see how things play out and then he'll consider his options. Potentially interesting thought- will Nairoman continue his own GC ambitions with another squad or be a super domestique? Just that I can't see him winning another Grand Tour.

Nah,i don’t think Evenepoel will leave Quick Step for Ineos.
Hold the phone…we’re getting GCN in NZ, how good!
Ineos would probably make Remco be domestique for Evan Bernal..
INCLUDING NEW ZEALAND WOOHOO! I'm in 🙂
If Gary Lineker got an OBE I think it’s time Dan gets one
Will you do a career review of Nibali and Valverde as they end their professional careers?
Does Quickstep has riders for evenepol in the tour?
Many years ago I was visiting my sister in Brussels and was surprised by being invited to a dinner her company was putting on. The guest of honour was the great Eddy Merckx and I was fortunate enough to meet him and have a few photos taken with him. I still love cycling and whilst I have my favourites, Evenpoel is fast becoming a firm fave of mine. Maybe it will soon be time to visit my sister again and see if she can arrange something.
UAE have great support for their riders…. uh you what?
Ineos is just a bunch of simps for this Guy tbh
Could Carapaz in form with the tour? He gave Rog a good race at Vuelta, has finished on the podium before and has won a GT before, can't write him off.
If it isn't broken, don't fix it. Remco should stay at Quick Step.
Pogacar Vingegaard Evenepoel all fighting for the TDF yellow…….
My mouth is already watering!!
Brailsford was just getting some cheap headlines for something that's extremely unlikely to happen. Lefevre isn't stupid. They'll bring in whatever bonus or team structure is necessary to keep him.
GCN Tech should do a bit on finish line cameras and whether it's even possible with current rules and equipment to have a tie
It's still bizarre that Quintana is taking his tramadol case to CAS. I haven't heard anything yet resembling a winning strategy. Would have been better for him to just say he needed some time off the bike to properly heal from some painful injury and let it go at that
Why waste a E61 espresso machine buy using it for decoration?
I went to watch the Giro Dell'Emilia, and was surprised not only by the Women's parcours, but also the shocking difference in prize money; the women had a prize of 930 euros compared to a 7,500 euro prize for the men. What do you think?
Towards the "Fart in a bottle" https://www.insider.com/twitch-amouranth-1000-fart-jars-fake-purchases-2022-3
As much as I am British I hope Remco stays at Quickstep and not make the move to Ineos. Think a move to Ineos would ruin him.
Btw Dan, what is that monster coffee machine on the shelf behind you?
