We have entered that funny bit of the cycling season, where some riders have jetted off on their off-seasons, while others are still ploughing on the track or in China. It is very, very close to all being over for 2025, and so there are many who are just out there, having fun.

That said, I'm not really sure you can afford to have a proper time off, what with the bar set so high these days. So while many of you will be having a couple of pints on a Friday, pour one out for those pro riders who are either still riding, or those who are not even having that much fun on their off-seasons.
