We really hope you enjoy our clips and blogs about the Geology of Cycling. There's much more where that came from, but to keep making these, we're gonna need your help! All blog writers and presenters of Geo-Sports are volunteers, but our editor and film crew are independent

The Zurich 2024 time trials are in full swing but how did this landscape along the wonderful Lake Zurich and the rolling hills around the city come about? Let's turn to Geology and look back in time.

The future of cycling is in the hands of the juniors and U23 riders racing against the clock today and tomorrow. But how can geology help with future-proof storing nuclear waste from Zurich's three nuclear power plants? @Thomas_geosc of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich at ETH Zürich Zurich explains this.

Curious about the backgrounds of the Geology of the Tour de France project? We wrote a little paper about it all, and it just came out in Geology Today! with @vanHinsbergen Marjolein Naudé, josebeentv . Check it out: Geology of the Tour de France: taking a sports audience by surprise 👇

The road race takes us to beautiful geological sites along the route like drumlins, valleys, a tafelberg and gorgeous lakes. Stefan Heuberger of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich at ETH Zürich Zurich takes you on a tour to see but also shows you what you can’t see anymore. Ice ages and warmer periods

The race is off to a nuclear start..... Which is logical because Zurich is home to three nuclear power plants because it's a tectonically stable region. Read more about that in our blogs around these World Championships that we made with scientific partner @eth ETH Zürich_EAPS Zurich

Last day of the #Zurich2024 world championships, the men will have to show what they’re worth! And they’re lucky the race wasn’t 24000 years ago, because they’d had have to ski the entire thing back then 🥶 Stefan Heuberger at Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich of ETH Zurich explored the route for you and

The race is on. Shortly we will be at the Irchel mountain. It looks like a tafelberg, or table mountain. The top is flat like a table but its flanks are steep. The top of the mountain stayed clear during the ice ages but the foot was eroded away. We call that a nunatak. Stefan

Thanks Geological Society of South Africa for inviting us to write about @Geotdf in your Geobulletin! And for all of you out there interested, you can find our editorial, by Marjolein Naudé and @vanHinsbergen here: gssa.pub/gb/content/iss…

What would the season's Grande Finale of Il Lombardia be without geology! (The answer probably is: a very flat spinter's race) You'll see the leaves falling over the folded and pushed up limestones - and dolomites of course, the name giver of the Italian Alps! And you'll see

Geology of the Tour de France Love this! Thanks, Geology! 🪨 x 🍂 #iLombardia

I guess you’ll have heard the news, that 2025 is to be ITV’s last Tour de France. Surprised (no free-to-air for London 2027??). Slightly in shock. No Gary presenting the Tour. Hard to believe.

Normandy, Brittany and Mont Ventoux...just as we ran out of funding for clips 😭. Ow man, there's so much to tell there!

What a great idea! 😍😃

For the many of you that are leaving X, but still would like to stay up to date the Geology of the Tour de France and other cycling races: follow us on all major socials. See geo-sports.org for links!

We kriehen sturm! 🌬️ Forget the Tour de France: the Dutch Headwind Cycling Championships will be held on Dec 7! An 8 Bft storm will blow on the 9 km long Oosterschelde dam, and 300 racers will battle it on city bikes. We'll be there with the Geology of Shit Weather!

Today is the day of the Dutch Championships Headwind Cycling, where pro riders get beaten by the mailman! It will be a mild edition, with only a 6-7 Bft westerly wind, but the race parcours is chosen such that there is zero protection: the 9 km long Oosterschelde dam! A dam with

After several fantastic years with all of you, dear geo-cycling enthusiasts, we have decided to stop posting on X. Twitter was once a great, non-political platform where geeks could exchange about their hobbies. By now, the place has gone dark, and we are no longer willing to
