A clash with his wedding means the newly crowned world champion will not show off his rainbow bands in the final Monument of the season. Fresh from scooping a famous Vuelta-Worlds double, Remco Evenepoel is not willing to change the date of his nuptials to add a second Monument win to his swelling palmares this year, the Belgian having won Liege-Bastogne-Liege back in April.
Matej Mohoric’s second-place finish at the final stage was enough to overhaul Jonas Vingegaard’s eight-second overall lead to win the CRO Race on Sunday. The Bahrain Victorious rider added six seconds at the finish line to the three seconds he had taken at an intermediate sprint earlier on the 158km stage from Sveta Nedelja.
Nairo Quintana has left Arkea-Samsic as he fights to clear his name after breaching an in-competition ban on painkiller tramadol. The Colombian, who only signed a three-year extension with the team in August, was wiped from the Tour de France 2022 results after the positive test. However, the UCI said it was not a breach of anti-doping rules, and he was free to continue competing.
Jonas Vingegaard secured his first victory since his triumphant Tour de France with an impressive display on the first categorised finish of the 2022 CRO Race. Stage 3 of the race in Croatia brought two climbing tests inside the final 20 kilometres of a 156km route from Sinj to Primostein, finishing on a short but punchy ascent in Primostein. Ad Vingegaard returned to road racing action this week for the first time since sealing his maiden Grand Tour overall victory in Paris in July.
Ineos Grenadiers are reportedly exploring a move for Remco Evenepoel, with Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl team principal Patrick Lefevere and the Belgian sensation’s father refusing to dampen the speculation. Evenepoel became the youngest road race world champion in 29 years in Wollongong, Australia last week to complete a stellar season that has also yielded victories at Liege-Bastogne-Liege and La Vuelta. Ad It is Evenepoel’s credentials at Grand Tours that are said to interest Ineos, with VeloNews claiming their billionaire owner Jim Ratcliffe is “desperate to land a potential Tour de France winner who can deliver immediate success”.
Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard returns after a two-month break from competition in this week's Tour of Croatia, his Jumbo-Visma team announced on Monday. Dane Vingegaard swept to his first Grand Tour triumph in July ahead of two-time defending champion Tadej Pogacar of Slovenia and Britain's Geraint Thomas. The 25-year-old climbing ace has not raced since his victory on the Champs-Elysees on July 24, skipping the Tour of Denmark on home soil and the world championships in Wollongong, Australia.
Wout van Aert has extended his deal at Jumbo-Visma by two years to 2026. The undisputed all-rounder of the peloton has had another terrific season and lit up the Tour de France in July with a string of devastating attacks – helping deliver six stage wins for his team, taking three for himself and securing the green jersey. Ad He also played a starring role in the mountains as team-mate Jonas Vingegaard dethroned Tadej Pogacar for the yellow jersey.
Evenepoel sets sights on Tour and Giro In red from Stage 6 onwards, Remco Evenepoel’s only real threat came from himself in the form of that freak crash on the final descent in Stage 12. When he was dropped on the climbs, the Belgian showed maturity beyond his 22 years and stuck to his own tempo – limiting his losses on La Pandera and then all but securing the overall win a day later in Sierra Nevada. Ad On top of that, he demonstrated supreme time trialling prowess to win a maiden Grand Tour stage in Alicante, and then ruthlessness to win in red by denying Robert Gesink on the Alto del Piornal.
