Ed Hood may be getting soft in his old age as this 'End of Year' rant actually shows some signs of... dare we say it... acceptance. This year has seen many changes in the cycling world, mostly for the good, but then... Ed has his say on the trends of 2022.

The World is changing and changes in cycling seem to come along every day. Ed Hood is taking it all on the chin: e bike, disk brakes, gravel... but he still yearns for some of the kit from the past. Time for a rant!

Il Lombardia, World Hour Record, Paris-Tours and the Gravel World championships, it has been all go, but Ed Hood can't just watch an exciting weekend of racing. An inquisitive mind need to see behind the scenes; The why and what for and are there any conspiracies?

The Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team have had a less than perfect spring Classics campaign, while on the other hand, INEOS Grenadiers have surpassed themselves in the one-day races. Ed Hood has been scratching his head over the 'turned tables' of the 2022 spring.

The last Grand Tour of the season is behind us and the excitement was high in Spain even if we all guessed who might win overall. Ed Hood has been keeping his trained eye on the proceedings of the final week. Ed's last rant from la Vuelta a España 2021.

Ed Hood wishes he was at la Vuelta a España this week, especially on those big climbs in the north of Spain. Ed looks back at last week's stages and forward to the final six stages of the 2021 Vuelta all the way to Santiago de Compostela on Sunday.

Ed Hood is missing the Spanish roadside and other Iberian entertainments, but he has been glued to his TV set to give us his Vuelta a España 'Rest Day Rant'. The first nine stages with Ed.

Ed Hood hasn't had a rant from cycling's Nostradamus for a while, but then according to Vik the season finished after the last spring Classic. Vik was not impressed by the Tokyo Olympic Games, why? Ed found out.

We wind up the 2021 Tour de France with Ed Hood's thoughts on the final week's action. Was it a good Tour? Will we remember it in years to come? Maybe for one or two standout moments, but it wasn't a vintage year. Ed's Tour round-up.
