:Remco Evenepoel underlined his credentials as a favourite for the Giro d'Italia as he stormed to victory in Saturday's stage one, an individual time trial along the Adriatic coast, to take the leader's maglia rosa jersey.
Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick Step) blitzed the field with a dominant display in the opening stage of Giro d’Italia – a 19.6km time trial from Fossacesia Marina to Ortona. The 23-year-old stopped the clock at 21:18 in what Rob Hatch on commentary called a “performance for the ages” that bettered the provisional leader Joao Almeida’s time by 29 seconds – Almeida would eventually finish third.

Tao Geoghegan Hart (Ineos Grenadiers) says he is prepared to «bide his time» at the Giro d'Italia during an expected GC battle with Primoz Roglic (Team Jumbo Visma) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-Quick-Step). Briton Geoghegan Hart triumphed at the Giro in 2020 as he picked up his first Grand Tour success. Ad It's been a difficult period since then — chiefly due to a combination of illness and injury — but he won the recent Tour of the Alps to indicate he is one of the riders in contention for the maglia rosa.
The 28-year-old Dutch rider produced a string of aggressive attacks before the decisive move on the epic 256.6km race which included 54.5km of rough cobbles.
Alison Jackson won the Paris-Roubaix Femmes on Saturday after helping a long breakaway survive over the cobbles of the one-day classic, then holding off Katia Ragusa and Marthe Truyven in a sprint finish at Roubaix's velodrome.
Mathieu van der Poel says he is “100% ready” for Paris-Roubaix after playing leadout duties at Scheldeprijs on Wednesday. Van der Poel did some of the early leadout work for Alpecin-Deceuninck team-mate Jasper Philipsen, who beat Team DSM’s Sam Welsford and Mark Cavendish (Astana Qazaqstan Team) in a bunch sprint. Ad The Dutchman has a career-best finish of third at Paris-Roubaix where he lost out to Sonny Colbrelli in one of the modern great Monument races.
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.
