Rear—wheel drive - Issue 1

1 October 2026 · 40 min

The first issue of cycling news with Ilya Fateev and Dmitry Shevarov: burnout by the end of the season, races in Ruza, Ladoga Gold, World Championships, UCI decisions and amateur transfers.

The end of the season and fatigue from racing

Ilya Fateev and Dmitry Shevarov are starting a new format with talks about burnout by the end of the season, Dmitry Merzlikin's retirement from cycling and why fans are trying to extend the summer with a trip to Turkey.

Amateur races and teams

The presenters recall the races in Ruza, ratings, multi-day races and the "Gold of Ladoga". They discuss how Grand Fondo and Cycling Race differ for the participant: routes, broadcasts, accompaniment and awarding. The conversation turns to the transitions of amateurs between teams and the new form of clubs.

World cycling

The international part of the issue includes the World Highway Championships, future venues, sprint safety and UCI decisions. The presenters also talk about a bicycle without a UCI sticker and the history of a masseur at the World Championships.
