We've got a bit on this week. Peaks Challenge is almost here and the nerves are real. This week the crew dives deep into pacing Tawonga, surviving Hotham, fuelling like your life depends on it, and why the race is often won in the valleys, not on the climbs. Over in Tassie, the ProVelo Super League Tour of Tasmania is shaping up as one of the most open editions in years. With key names absent, the hilltop finish at Poatina could reveal the next breakout climber. In the Middle East, Jayco go on a UCI points raid, Luke Plapp takes a big step forward against Adam Yates, and UAE Tour looms with Remco, Del Toro, and a stacked Aussie contingent ready to test early season form. On the women’s side, Demi Vollering returns with intent, while the classics conversation is already heating up.
