Marianne Vos will not start in Tour of Flanders as she is staying with her family following the passing of her father last week.
We wish Marianne and her loved ones all the strength and support they need during this difficult time.
The @WMNcycling zondacrypto Generation team has been announced for the NXT Classic tomorrow and Tsige Kahsay Kiros 🇪🇹 has been named in the squad. This will be 18yo Tsige’s second @UCI_cycling race for her new team and we wish her every success!

It is brilliant to see a second Ethiopian woman on the start-list, with Tsige’s contemporary Serlakem Taye Watango 🇪🇹 taking part for her second race for the @WCC_cycling Conti Team!
There are actually FIVE African women racing overall, with Lucie Meyer 🇲🇺 and Jazilla Mwamikazi 🇷🇼 scheduled to race for the WCC Team as well.
In addition, we are most excited that Nesrine Houili 🇩🇿 will make her 2026 debut for the WCC Team ❤️🌍

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Vladimír Holeček, UCI Honorary Vice President and UEC Honorary President.
His dedication and contributions to @uec_cycling and @uci_cycling will never be forgotten.
My thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
Proud to see @uci_cycling ranked 8th globally among International Federations in the 2026 SportOnSocial League Table.
Our sport is growing, our communities are engaging, and #Digital is bringing #Cycling closer than ever to fans worldwide.
Thank you to all who make this possible!
We had a special guest at the show tonight! 🚴♂️

Legacy in motion🇷🇼🚴🏾♂️
Jonathan Rafiki Muhawenimana is your new Rwandan Junior National Champion in XCO MTB, winning the title this weekend by a commanding 48 seconds.
But this is bigger than a title.
Jonathan was raised by a cycling team. His papa, @UwimanaRafiki is one of the original 5 members of Team Rwanda. He was coached by @AD_Niyonshuti87, #Rwandan XCO MTB Olympian and @SalamiAvocetie1, a young #Benin coach.
And this weekend he became the #Rwandan JR XCO MTB National Champ!

Since 2019, @AbsaSouthAfrica has changed 6,777 lives through bicycles, and half of those are girls.
For many of them, it was their very first time learning to ride.
Every woman out there at the Absa @CapeEpic pushing her limits on the trails is doing more than riding. She is inspiring a new generation of untamed young women to discover their freedom on two wheels.
