Valentin Paret-Peintre has extended his contract with Soudal Quick Step until 2028. The Frenchman, born in 2001, was due to expire in 2026 and last year achieved a significant result, winning the Mont Ventoux stage of the Tour de France .
Paret Peintre is valued at 4 million euros on Fantacycling and could be one of the most interesting low-cost signings; with the departure of Remco Evenepoel , who has moved to Red Bull-Bora, the Frenchman could have more room for personal initiatives.

The 2027 Tour de France once again celebrates time trials: numbers, precedents, and scenarios to understand whether the Belgian can oust the Slovenian, with useful insights for fantasy cycling.

The director of the Grande Boucle cites Wiggins, Bahamontes and Anquetil to explain the 71 km against the clock: it is not an anti-Pogačar move, but a choice to keep the race alive until the end
