Fancy a quiz to get you in the mood for Le Tour?

The 2026 Tour de France gets underway this weekend, starting in Barcelona with a highly anticipated team time trial. It will be the 27th time that the men's Grand Tour has started outside of France since the first foreign start in 1954.

But how many Grand Départ host countries can you name?

We've given you a short but fair time limit of five minutes to complete the quiz, as several nations have welcomed the race more than once. But should you come unstuck, feel free to use a hint by signing in or registering via the button at the top right of the page.

Be sure to let us know how you got on, and make sure to keep an eye on our cycling quizzes page for more Tour de France trivia throughout the three-week race!

Another week, another Monument-themed quiz!

With Paris-Roubaix just around the corner, it's the perfect time to test your knowledge on the riders who have tackled the cobbles, often treacherous weather and velodrome finish to come out the other side with a piece of the French pavé to take home. While the men's race dates back to 1896, Paris-Roubaix Femmes only started in 2021.

Now it's no surprise that the winners of Roubaix go down in history, such is the challenging nature of L'Enfer du Nord, but not everyone remembers the riders to round out the podium, especially when the winner's performance grabs the headlines and the majority of the plaudits. However, we want to put your racing trivia to the test and see how many of the men's and women's podium finishers you can remember from the last ten years of action in northern France.

Can you name every Paris-Roubaix podium in the last 10 years? We're giving you just 10 minutes to name as many of the men's and women's race top-three finishers as you can since 2016 and 2021, respectively. We should also remind you that Paris-Roubaix didn't take place in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Fancy a quiz to put your Tour of Flanders knowledge to the test?

Often known simply as De Ronde, the Ronde van Vlaanderen is a bike race like no other. It's the jewel of Flemish racing and each year the fans line its route and iconic climbs, like the Oude Kwaremont, in their droves.

With the 2026 edition of the race just days away, we thought we'd get in the mood with a Tour of Flanders-themed cycling quiz.

The first edition of the men's race was all the way back in 1913, and, except for a break during the First World War, it has run continuously ever since. Meanwhile, the women's race only launched in 2004. Nonetheless, some of the biggest names in the women's peloton have since added their names to its roll of honour. But how many of the recent Tour of Flanders champions can you name?

We're giving you 15 minutes to name as many of the men's and women's race winners as you can since 2000 and 2004, respectively.

As always, should you come unstuck, you have the option of using a hint – just log in to your Cyclingnews account or register via the button in the top right corner of the page.

How well do you know your cyclo-cross rainbow jersey winners? Well, here's a quiz to put your knowledge to the test, regardless of whether the CX season is your bread and butter, or the mud and sand pits are a completely alien environment!

The 2026 edition of the UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships takes place this weekend in the Dutch city of Hulst, with Mathieu van der Poel eyeing a record-equalling rainbow jersey. There's one answer for free!

But how about the rest of them? The women's event was first held in 2000, so we thought that would be the ideal year to stretch our trivia challenge back to, to truly test your cyclo-cross credentials.

How many cyclo-cross world champions can you name since the turn of the millennium? We're giving you 15 minutes, plus the option of using a hint should you get stuck – in the Flemish mud – just log in to your Cyclingnews account or register via the button in the top right corner of the page.

The Tour Down Under gets underway this weekend, so here's a quiz to see how well you paid attention to the season-opening stage races in years gone by!

First raced in 1999, the Tour Down Under is now one of the major events on both the men's and women's calendars, kickstarting the WorldTour season and showcasing some incredible scenery in and around Adelaide. The likes of the Corkscrew climb and Willunga Hill mean that winning riders really have to be at their best from the first flag drop of the season to take home the ochre jersey.

So, how many of the 29 Tour Down Under winners can you name? There have been 38 editions in total, but several riders clearly enjoy the roads of South Australia and have won there more than once. We're giving you 10 minutes to name as many of them as possible!

As always with our quizzes, you can get a hint by logging into your Cyclingnews account - or sign up if you've yet to register.

There will be plenty more quizzes as the season progresses, but why not test your cycling trivia some more by checking out our cycling quiz hub?

Best of luck!

How closely have you been following the road cycling transfer window this season? Well, here's a quiz to find out!

As the first men's and women's WorldTour event of the season comes into view with the Tour Down Under, the chaos of cycling's transfer merry-go-round, for the most part, gets put to bed. There have been some seismic comings and goings this off-season with several major riders breaking their contracts, and plenty more have headed for pastures new as their deals expire.

But how closely have you been paying attention to the movers and shakers in road cycling, and can you guess these 25 rider transfers for the 2026 season? We're providing you with just the rider's nationality alongside their previous and new teams to identify them. There are some more obvious signings, and some rather sneaky ones thrown in at the end for good measure too!

You've got a time limit of 10 minutes to put your transfer hat on and correctly guess as many of the 25 riders as you can. It's worth noting that to avoid confusion, we've used 2025 team names for riders' old squads, and 2026 versions, if they've changed sponsors, for their new employers.

For a helping hand, you can ask for a hint by logging into your Cyclingnews account, or by registering via the button in the top right corner of the page.

The racing season is nearly upon us, and with it comes plenty of changes - from riders and staff to kits and tech.

Our latest cycling quiz is all about the latter of that list, specifically the most important component of all, the bike! Most WorldTour teams switch bike sponsors every few years, or even more frequently, so it's often hard to keep track of who is riding what. That's why we thought it would make for a good quiz!

Can you name each WorldTour team's 2026 bike sponsor? We'll give you a generous 15-minute time limit to tackle this trivia test, and as per usual, there are hints available – log in to your Cyclingnews or sign up via the top right corner of the page.

Are you a cyclocross fanatic? Well, boy, do we have the quiz for you!

We're well into the 2025/26 cyclocross season now, and the action-packed Kerstperiode gets underway this weekend. Running from Saturday 20 December through to Sunday 4 January, a total of 12 races are scheduled across Belgium and the Netherlands, starting with the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup in Antwerp.

Mathieu Van der Poel has already returned to the discipline for the 2025/26 season, with Wout van Aert starting his campaign in Antwerp. Meanwhile, in the women's bunch, Lucinda Brand has been in dominant form so far, winning 10 of her opening 12 races.

Enough about the stars of the show, though! Our latest cycling quiz, and perhaps our toughest yet, is centred around the courses these riders tackle year in, year out. We've compiled images from a dozen iconic CX venues, past and present, to test your knowledge. Can you correctly name all 12 cyclocross courses?

With the festive season upon us, we've given you a generous time limit of 15 minutes for this quiz, and as always, hints are available by logging into your Cyclingnews account or by registering in the top right corner of the page.

For more quizzes, be sure to head to our cycling quiz hub to put your cycling trivia ability to the test, and as they say in Flanders, zet 'm op!

We're back with another cycling quiz!

It's that time of year in the cycling world when we look back and remember the highs, lows, thrills, and unfortunate spills, of the last 12 months. This quiz is a positive one though, it's about the top-performing road riders of the year after all.

Some teams and riders rack up UCI ranking points without even realising, such is their racing success, while other squads base their entire calendar around maximising points output in a bid to protect or gain a WorldTour licence.

This quiz is about the top performing individuals though, in both the men's and women's peloton, specifically the top-25 riders from each of the UCI's rankings.

How many of the men's and women's top-25 UCI-ranked riders can you name? We're giving you a 15-minute time limit to correctly name as many of the riders as possible, with the help of their team, nationality, age and points tally.

If that isn't enough though, there's also the option to get extra hints by logging into your account or signing up via the top right corner of the page.

With the first men's Grand Tour of 2026 upon us, it's time for another cycling quiz.

The 2026 Giro d'Italia gets underway in Bulgaria with a Grande Partenza that all the key favourites will be looking to come through unscathed in their bid for the coveted pink jersey.

The likes of Jonas Vingegaard, Egan Bernal, Adam Yates, and Giulio Pellizzari are considered among the favourites for this year's Corsa Rosa. But there are plenty of other GC contenders who shouldn't be written off, especially considering the unpredictability of a three-week Grand Tour.

Many greats of the sport have conquered the Giro and donned the iconic maglia rosa. In recent years, that battle has gone down to the wire, with 2025 winner, Simon Yates (Visma-Lease a Bike), only moving into the race lead on the race's penultimate stage, such were the demands and rollercoaster of action in the final week.

But aside from Yates – who redeemed himself after letting the jersey slip through his fingers during the 2018 Giro – which other men's champions of the Italian Grand Tour can you remember?

Our quiz below will put your knowledge to the test, as we ask you to name as many men's Giro d'Italia maglia rosa winners as possible.

The race started in 1909, but due to both the First and Second World Wars, there have been only 108 editions. With this in mind, we're giving you a plentiful 20-minute time limit to tackle this quiz, and of course, you can always use a hint by signing in or registering via the button at the top right of the page.

Want to sink your teeth into another cycling quiz?

There's only one right answer, especially as you're probably impatiently awaiting the return of road cycling in January – unless you're a CX fanatic!

The men's WorldTour and women's WorldTour span from January through to October, with a mix of one-day Classics, stage races, and, of course, Grand Tours. They're the top tiers of road racing, where the sport's biggest names do battle on the grandest stages.

It's fair to say that they're home to the most popular races on the calendar, too, but does that mean you can remember all the winners from the 2025 season? Why don't you find out with our latest trivia challenge!

We're giving you 15 minutes to name all the men's and women's WorldTour race winners from the 2025 season. If you come unstuck on a smaller race, you're more than welcome to ask for a hint – just sign in or register for that trivia 'sticky bottle' and we promise not to think less of you!

Oh, and if this has scratched a cycling trivia itch, then be sure to test your knowledge on some of our other recent quizzes, all found in our cycling quiz hub.

It's time for another cycling quiz, and something for you cycling fans to sink your teeth into as we hit the depths of the off-season lull.

Pauline Ferrand-Prévot (Visma-Lease a Bike) confirmed last week that she aims to defend her Tour de France Femmes title in 2026, whilst also targeting some key one-day Classics. With this in mind, we thought it was high time to look back on the four editions of the modern Tour de France Femmes and test your memory!

The route for the fifth edition of the Tour de France Femmes has already been announced, with the nine-day stage race starting in Switzerland and featuring several rolling stages before an individual time trial, ascents of Mont Ventoux and the Col d'Eze, and a finish on the French Riviera in Nice.

With such a varied route, ample types of riders have an opportunity to claim a coveted stage victory – or perhaps even more – in 2026, but who would they join on the honours list if they did?

So, how many stage winners of the Tour de France Femmes since its relaunch in 2022 can you name?

With 33 stages to put a name to, we're giving you a very generous time cut of 10 minutes. Of course, should you need an extra helping hand, don't be afraid to ask for some hints by signing in or registering via the top right corner of the page!

As always, bon chance!

For more trivia and memory tests like this, head to our cycling quiz hub to tackle quizzes like naming every single men's Tour de France yellow jersey winner since 1903!

The Tour de France might still be more than eight months away, but with the 24 October announcement that saw the unveiling of the 2026 route and the route for the nine-stage Tour de France Femmes, we thought it would be the perfect time for a Tour-themed quiz.

All being well, Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) will eye a record-equalling fifth Tour title next July, but that's not to say the likes of Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) and Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe's new talisman in Remco Evenepoel won't be trying to spoil the party come Paris.

If the Slovenian were able to win a fifth maillot jaune outright, though, it would put him in an elite club of just five men to accomplish the feat. What's more, Pogačar would be the first new entrant to this exclusive circle for over three decades.

So, what better way to celebrate 253 days to go until the Grand Départ in Barcelona than with a quiz all about the yellow jersey holders! Specifically, how many men's Tour de France winners can you name?

Given that Le Tour stretches back to 1903, we're giving you a generous 20-minute time limit to dig deep into the corners of your brain for as many yellow jersey winners as you possibly can. Fret not, should you come unstuck by the sheer might of the challenge, hints are available by signing in or registering via the top right corner of the page!

And for more trivia challenges like this, head to our cycling quizzes page, where you can test your knowledge on our Vuelta a España winners quiz or name as many men's Monument winners since 2000 as you can?

Bon chance!

With almost a century of victories, another Tour de France yellow jersey, three Monuments, and runners-up spots at the other two men's Grand Tours, UAE Team Emirates-XRG have had a simply sublime 2025 season. That's why we think it's only fitting to create a quiz to mark their historic achievement.

The UCI WorldTour's top-ranked team were winning races from January through to October as they eventually finished the season with 95 victories in their team's black and white colours. This means they broke the previous best season total, set by Team Columbia-HTC back in 2009, by 10 wins and with almost a month of the season still to go.

That's not to mention the breadth of winners in their squad either, with 20 out of the 30 riders on their roster picking up individual honours at least once across the season.

But if we provide you with the races, how many of those winners can you name?

The eagle-eyed amongst you will notice just 94 races in the list, despite 95 wins. That's because we've excluded the team's TTT win on stage 5 of La Vuelta a España because, well, it's a bit of a giveaway!

We're giving you a generous 10-minute time limit for this quiz but if you do come unstuck, get hints by registering or signing in via the icon in the top right corner of the website!

Best of luck!

For more quizzes like this, why not test your knowledge on men's Monument winners from the last 25 years, or all the elite European Road Championship winners since 2016?

Last weekend's edition of Il Lombardia signals another season of Monuments done and dusted. The five major one-day Classics are among the most anticipated days in the cycling calendar, not just for the breathtaking racing they showcase, but also for their rich history and the cornerstone of cycling culture that each represents.

With that in mind, we thought there was no better time to create a quiz all about the last 25 years of these beautifully brilliant one-day races. Some favour the sprinters, some the climbers, and others, the downright toughest, but one common denominator they all share is the fact that Monument winners go down in history!

So, we want to put your knowledge of the last quarter of a century to the test. How many men's Monument winners can you name since 2000?

We've given you a merciful time limit of 15 minutes to complete this quiz, and if you come unstuck, sign in or register via the top right corner of the page to access hints!

As always, make sure to let us know how you fared via the comments section below.

To test your knowledge on even more cycling-related quizzes, why not attempt to name every single Il Lombardia winner, or all the elite European Road Championship winners since 2016?

Here's another cycling quiz for you trivia fanatics out there, and this time we're talking about Il Lombardia.

The Italian one-day race, known affectionately as the Race of the Falling Leaves, is the fifth and final Monument of the season, and the most important Classic of the Autumn months.

It is also a race steeped in history, with its first edition dating back to 1905, and just two missed races – 1943 and 1944 due to the Second World War – over the 120 years since then.

But ahead of this year's edition, we've decided to put your knowledge to the test when it comes to the Italian Classic's many victors. With a time limit of 15 minutes, we're asking how many winners of Il Lombardia can you name? Winners from the 21st century should hopefully be easier to come by, but don't be afraid to flex your cycling trivia muscles and dig out some of yesteryear's winners, too.

If you find yourself stuck on an answer, don't be afraid to ask for help. Sign in via the top right corner of the page to access hints!

Oh, and please be sure to let us know how you found the quiz via the comments section underneath!

To ensure you're geared up for the last Monument of the season, check out the 2025 route and our analysis of Il Lombardia's key contenders.

It's time for another cycling quiz - this time, we're looking at the European Road Championships!

The 2025 event takes place in the Drôme-Ardèche region of France this week, with the chance to wear a European white-and-blue jersey for the next 12 months up for grabs.

There's a stacked start list across the elite events this year, with the likes of Tadej Pogačar (Slovenia), Juan Ayuso (Spain), Jonas Vingegaard (Denmark), Demi Vollering (Netherlands), Elisa Longo Borghini (Italy), and Kasia Niewiadoma (Poland) all set to battle it out.

Surprisingly, though, it's only the 10th occasion that elite road races and time trials are being held for the continental honours, with the first time being back in 2016.

So with just 36 riders on the roll of honour so far, how many European Road Championships winners can you name? In this quiz, we're giving you 10 minutes to enter as many correct answers as possible.

If you need a helping hand, be sure to sign in to access hints. Oh, and let us know how you got on in the comments section below!

Or, if you fancy another cycling trivia challenge, why not see how many Vuelta a España winners you can name?

The Alto de l'Angliru is a mythical climb, feared by many for its steep and testing gradients that make it one of the most challenging climbs in all of pro cycling.

This Friday sees the Angliru decide yet another stage of La Vuelta a España when Jonas Vingegaard, João Almeida and company tackle the summit finish on stage 13 of the Spanish Grand Tour's 80th edition.

Now, climbing this Spanish peak nicknamed El Infierno, or 'The Hell', might be a physical challenge like few others in cycling, and dare we say sport in general, but how about a trivia challenge focusing on the same mountain?

Do you reckon you have the knowledge to climb to the top of the leaderboard?

Well, in our latest La Vuelta-themed quiz, it's time to find out. We're asking you to answer 10 questions all about the Angliru climb, but fortunately for you, there's no time limit or broom wagon to worry about, unlike those less comfortable on the slopes of the Spanish peak this week.

Should you need a helping hand from the Cyclingnews team car, though, you can access hints to help you by logging into your account in the top right corner of the screen.

Either put your Spanish Grand Tour knowledge to the test with a 10-question quiz, or really wrack your brain by naming as many La Vuelta winners as you can in our listicle quiz.

For most professional cyclists, winning a Grand Tour is the pinnacle of their career. Although the Vuelta a España might be the last three-week race of the season, it doesn't make it any less of a jewel in a rider's palmarès.

This year's edition, which started on Saturday in the Italian city of Turin, might not have Tadej Pogačar on the startlist, but it is still bursting at the seams with riders eyeing a tilt at the maillot rojo.

Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike), João Almeida, Juan Ayuso (UAE Team Emirates XRG), Ben O'Connor (Jayco AlUla) and Egan Bernal (Ineos Grenadiers) are just some of the contenders looking to write their name into the history books.

But how well do you know the winners of La Vuelta a España from years gone by?

In our latest quiz, we're asking you to name as many of the overall winners of La Vuelta as possible. Beware, though: there is a time limit for this quiz, with just 15 minutes on the clock to put down as many winners as you can!
