- Daniel Steinhauser will start a 7-day record attempt over more than 3,826.47 km on a road bike in Upper Swabia/Allgäu on 25 April 2026.
- The attempt follows ultracycling regulations and requires precise pacing, sleep and energy management as well as a support team and live tracking.
- Steinhauser chooses his home region out of solidarity and to raise funds for the St. Nikolaus children's hospice; fans can follow the start and finish.

Attack on 7-day world record: German wants to ride 547 kilometres for seven days in a row

- Around 60 cyclists took advantage of the TOUR Mallorca training camp at Philipps Bike Team at the end of March to prepare for the 2026 season.
- Structured training rides with performance groups, evening briefings, lectures and equipment information ensured a varied programme.
- New Avona Velum hire bikes were available for testing; the week brought improved form, lots of experiences and new acquaintances.

TOUR training camp Mallorca: Successful start to the season!

- Raymond Poulidor was a successful French professional cyclist who never won the Tour de France despite numerous podium finishes.
- He came from a humble farming background and won major races such as Milan-San Remo, the Tour of Spain and several classics.
- His popularity continued after the end of his career as a Tour ambassador; he died in 2019 and has been commemorated by a monument in Pla d'Adet since 2024.

- Franziska Koch is the first German to win Paris-Roubaix and achieves her biggest career success to date after a sprint finish against Marianne Vos.  
- The 25-year-old, once an early starter at the World Championships and Classics, switched to FDJ-Suez in 2026 and established herself with a podium at Strade Bianche.  
- Koch comes from a cycling family, lives in Girona and is in a relationship with Canadian pro Riley Pickrell, who rides for Modern Adventure Pro Cycling.

- Roger Rivière was regarded as an exceptional talent, became world track champion, world hour record holder and multiple stage winner at the Tour and Vuelta.  
- In 1960, he crashed badly on a descent in the Tour de France, injuring his spine and head; banned drugs were found in his jersey pockets.  
- After his career ended, he failed professionally, became addicted to drugs and died of cancer in 1976 at the age of 40; his potential remained unrealised.

- Adrie van der Poel specialised in classics and cyclocross, won several monuments, but missed out on winning Paris-Roubaix in 14 attempts.  
- After his triumph at the Tour of Flanders in 1986, he was considered the top favourite, but was beaten in the sprint by Sean Kelly and later regretted the missed opportunity.  
- Despite many top placings, Roubaix remained his unfulfilled dream, while his son Mathieu won the race three times in a row in 2023-2025.

- Gravel greetings act as a social code, a declaration of belonging and an unofficial performance check when riding.
- There are unofficial greeting rules: only greet bikers, professionals and women first, groups in front and behind, not in the city.
- Different forms of greeting signalise gradations of closeness; despite their absurdity, they create community in an otherwise lonely sport.

- Jonas Deichmann and Josefine Rutkowski will be cycling around Europe on a gravel bike from 25 April: 24,000 km, 250,000 metres in altitude, 27 countries, 180 km a day.  
- They are travelling clockwise from Munich via backcountry and off-road routes, without a support team, with all their own equipment, avoiding Russia and Ukraine.  
- For Rutkowski, it is the biggest sporting adventure, while Deichmann is building on previous cycling world records; both are constantly reporting on social media.
