  • Cycling Team Trek – Segafredo 2022

    Cycling Team Trek – Segafredo 2022

    This page is committed to Cycling Team Trek – Segafredo 2022. I use it as a hub related to the team and will link each rider to his bike size review as the season goes on.


    The team is strong on the Classics with specialists like Jasper Stuyven, Edward Theus, and Mads Pedersen.
    For the Grand Tours, the team lacks a strong leader. There are excellent riders able to get into the top ten of the General Classification. I think of Julien Bernard, Kenny Elissonde, Bauke Mollema and Giulio Ciccone.

    This year I look for the Eritrean rider, Amanuel Ghebreigzabhier, and the American Quinn Simmons to win some stages. They are gaining experience and confidence as they race.

    Cycling Team BikeExchange – Jayco 2022

    This page is dedicated to the Australian Cycling Team BikeExchange – Jayco 2022. It includes the team plans for Paris-Roubaix and the three Grand Tours.

    I also present the team Team BikeExchange – Jayco 2022 bikes. As time goes I will link each rider to his bike size dedicated page. A lot of work in perspective as there are 29 riders in the men team.

    Movistar Cycling Team 2022

    This post serves as an hub for Movistar Cycling Team 2022.

    I describe briefly the team plans for the three Grand Tours and what bikes they start the season with. I will keep on updating this page as I review each rider’s bike size and fitting. Links will be added to each rider.

    Movistar Cycling Team 2022 has eight incoming transfers to replace the eight riders who left at the end of their contract. Among them are Alex Aranburu (Ex-Astana), Iván Ramiro Sosa (Ex-Ineos) Will Barta (Ex-EF) and Vinicius Rangel Costa a Neo Pro from Brazil.

  • Lotto Soudal Team 2022

    Lotto Soudal Team 2022

    This page serves as a hub linking to each rider of Lotto Soudal Team 2022 as I review their bikes over the season.

    Lotto Soudal team 2022 is racing a crucial year as relegation is at stake and must be avoided to stay in the UCI World Tour.

    The Belgian team prioritize the Flandrian classics and sprint types of races. General classification podiums for the sprint jersey is potentially a target for Caleb Ewan. However it is clear the team strategy is not focussed on winning a Grand Tour.

    This of course does free up the opportunist team riders to hunt a stage win on transition stages.

    2022 is the last season of Philippe Gilbert. The 2012 World Champion will retire at the end of the season after 20 years as pro cyclist.

    It feels special to see him racing his last year. I am getting emotional here, let me stick to the topic.

    For his last season Philippe Gilbert is skipping Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix to focus on Milan-San Remo. The only Monument missing in his palmares.

  • Jumbo-Visma 2022 Cycling Team

    Jumbo-Visma 2022 Cycling Team

    Jumbo-Visma 2022 Cycling Team is the main contender competing to win the Grand Tours. The team is strong on all profiles and types of races.

    Wout Van Aert World and Primož Rogliz, respectively finishing the 2021 UCI world ranking as number 2 and 3 are the obvious headliners of the team.

    But it would be unfair to stop thinking they are the only talented riders of the team.

    A good part of the team is focussed in the Flandrian classics while the rest are Grand Tours specialists.
