Coros Vertix 2S review: a fine multi-sport watch with near-endless battery life

Oct 10, 2024 | cyclingweekly.com | Jack Elton-Walters

While the best choice for recording or routing a ride is likely one of the best cycling computers, a smartwatch, such as Coros Vertix 2S, can be a versatile alternative. It makes an attractive proposition, not only because it can be used for other activities, such as running, swimming or even climbing, but it will continue to track performance metrics throughout the day and night.
Advantage to Remco in Day 1 of Roglic vs Evenepoel, but only just

Mar 3, 2024 | cyclingweekly.com | Jack Elton-Walters

Depending on their personality, other GC riders at the 2024 Paris-Nice might either be annoyed about the focus being almost completely on Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) and Primoz Roglic (Bora-Hansgrohe) or instead be happy to have all the attention focused elsewhere while they ride under the radar and hope for a podium. Side note: Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) is looking very sharp, both mentally and physically, so he could be a wildcard for the win.

Mar 3, 2024 | cyclingweekly.com | Jack Elton-Walters

Olav Kooij (Visma-Lease a Bike) won Stage 1 of the 2024 Paris-Nice from a very close sprint against Mads Pedersen (Lidl-Trek), in what had been a complicated final couple of kilometres with a late rise. Laurence Pithie (Groupama-FDJ) came across for third. Pedersen had been on the front and in the wind for a long time but looked like he might hold everyone off, that was until Kooij came alongside and just managed to pip him to the line.

Jan Tratnik wins the 2024 men's Omloop Het Nieuwsblad to save the day for Visma-Lease a bike

Feb 24, 2024 | cyclingweekly.com | Jack Elton-Walters

Jan Tratnik (Team Visma-Lease a Bike) won the 2024 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad in a two-up sprint with Nils Politt (UAE Team Emirates). It was the rider who finished second who'd done the majority of the work to keep the chasing group at bay, but then had nothing left for the sprint.
Rapha Pro Team Lace Up Cycling Shoes review - more 'racing' than 'training'

Feb 19, 2024 | cyclingweekly.com | Jack Elton-Walters

The Rapha Pro Team Lace Up Cycling Shoes are the British brand’s road shoe offering. They are lightweight and a lot of thought has clearly gone into the ‘Speedlace system’ which not only allows you to, well, lace up speedily, but means that also pressure is spread across the whole top of each foot to avoid painful ‘hotspots’. They certainly hold their own against the best cycling shoes.

Parcours Paniagua wheels review - versatile, reliable and competitively priced

Dec 5, 2023 | cyclingweekly.com | Jack Elton-Walters

Today's best Parcours Paniagua dealsThe Parcours Paniagua wheels are the British brand’s entry-level wheelset. Pitching the wheels here is reflected in the relatively low price and mid-depth of the rims. However, I’m glad to report that the performance wasn’t on the cheap side. They rode well without being spectacular and would suit most road riders for a wide range of applications.
