Our weekly cyclocross — er, cycling news roundup, checking in on ‘cross as we near the midway point of the season, and as Thibau Nys makes a bid for the field favorite — until van der Poel, and van Aert show up, at least. And as promised, we also feature women’s cyclocross, and look ahead — to the Tour Down Under, and to the next phase of Geraint Thomas’ career.

WASHINGTON (BRAIN) — U.S. bike imports from China rebounded in July and August, probably in anticipation of increased tariffs that were then threatened to take effect in November. Monthly bike imports this year have varied wildly in volume and country of origin as importers react to imposed and threatened tariffs as well as forecast consumer demand and industry inventory levels.

The Bikery’s offerings ranged from three-speeds to touring bikes, but…

Here’s our first look at the 2026 Giro d’Italia route – starting with 3 stages in Bulgaria, entering the Italian soil via Calabria in the south, then working it’s way back and forth as it climbs the boot, to the traditional mountainous final week that spikes from west to east, before a long transfer to the final stage in Rome. We’ll have a PEZ closer look coming soon to help make sense of it all – but let’s start with this…
