Adam Blythe believes there will be «huge uproar» among the teams after a dramatic crash led to a controversial conclusion to Stage 2 of the Giro d’Italia. The high-speed incident tool place with less than 4km from the finish, with Mark Cavendish the biggest name to fall and many others seeing their GC hopes take a huge hit.
Robbie McEwen played down the significance of Remco Evenepoel’s time trial triumph at the opening stage of the Giro d’Italia. Evenepoel opened up a 22-second lead at the top of the general classification with speculation that he has come to Italy in dominant form, and may not be overhauled over the course of the next few weeks. Ad The season’s first Grand Tour is a chance for the biggest names in cycling to put down a marker with the Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana yet to come.
Remco Evenepoel 'obliterated’ his rivals in the opening stage of the Giro d’Italia, according to Dan Lloyd, while Adam Blythe feels the other contenders need to come up with a new plan. Evenepoel threw down the gauntlet in the opening stage, as he blitzed the opening time trial to secure a 43-second lead over big GC rival Primoz Roglic. Ad Lloyd felt Evenepoel delivered times that were comparable to a team time trial, and that the Belgian’s performance could have demoralised his rivals.
Team Jumbo-Visma have had a torrid build-up to the Giro d’Italia, losing five riders in the lead-up to the Grand Tour. Jos van Emden, Robert Gesink and Tobias Foss were all ruled out due to Covid-19 and Wilco Kelderman and Jan Tratnik suffered injuries, the latter the day before racing began in Italy. Ad The unfortunate series of events have been labelled “disastrous” by Eurosport cycling presenter Orla Chennaoui, but expert Adam Blythe thinks the brutal Jumbo-Visma shake-up could have its positives in the long run.
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) will be “absolutely gutted” after a puncture derailed his “faultless race” at Paris-Roubaix, according to Eurosport expert Adam Blythe. The Belgian looked ominously strong as he dropped a blistering attack on the Carrefour de l'Arbre, just moments after chief rival Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck) had collided with John Degenkolb (DSM), causing the latter rider to crash. Ad But promise turned to despair for Van Aert within a kilometre as a rear-wheel puncture allowed Van der Poel to disappear into clear air and leave the 28-year-old leading a forlorn chase.
There really is nothing like Paris-Roubaix and the 120th edition of the 'Hell of the North' promises to be a thriller with Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert set to battle it out in one of cycling’s most famous races. The cobbles strike fear into every rider, even those who have won the Monument in northern France. Ad Dylan van Baarle is the defending men’s champion and Elisa Longo Borghini will defend her women’s crown.
The majority of the peloton was wiped out in a horror crash at the Tour of Flanders after a rider hit a puddle and veered into his rivals. Polish rider Filip Maciejuk (Bahrain Victorious) was attempting to move up in the pack with 140km remaining by taking an off-road route but ran out of room, hitting a sodden grassy bank and careering into the bunch. Ad A concertina effect was sparked in the peloton, causing dozens of riders to hit the deck and sparking a shocking tangle of limbs and carbon fibre.
