Welcome to… Denmark?! The most northerly Grand Depart in Tour de France history kicks off cycling's most famous race. Stage 1's pan-flat opening time trial does not rise higher than 15 metres above sea level although it has no fewer than 23 tight turns packed into just over 13km of riding in the centre of Copenhagen.
Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl have announced that Tim Declercq will miss this year’s Tour de France after testing positive for Covid. Florian Senechal will be his replacement, meaning that Mark Cavandish remains sidelined reserve ahead of the race.
The advent of Eritrea’s first ever Giro d’Italia stage winner was far from a box-ticking exercise. Biniam Girmay didn’t just win a routine bunch sprint or kick clear from a reduced field on terrain that suited his strengths. Nor was he gifted the historic win – the first for a Black African rider in cycling’s Grand Tours – or triumph because others had gone home or thrown in the towel.
A thrilling finish to the men’s Amstel Gold race on Sunday saw Michal Kwiatkowski (Team Ineos Grenadiers) narrowly edge out Benoit Cosnefroy (AG2R Citroen Team) for the win. Entering into the final stages of the race the leading group of Kwiatkowski and Cosnefroy kept on maintaining a lead of 18-25 seconds ahead of the group of riders behind them.
OUDENAARDDE: Dutch rider Mathieu van der Poel won a battle of nerves with Tadej Pogacar to claim the 273km-long Tour of Flanders raced over cobbled hills on Sunday (Apr 3).
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) lit up the Tour of Flanders with a pulsating attack on the Oude Kwaremont. Pogacar arrived in Flanders bidding to become the first reigning Tour de France champion since Eddy Merckx in 1975 to win the Belgian Monument.
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) is a big doubt for the Tour of Flanders on Sunday with illness. The Belgian is widely considered the favourite for the second Monument of the season on home soil, although he was tipped to face stiff competition from former champion Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix). Ad/> Jumbo-Visma said he will miss a reconnaissance ride of the route on Thursday, just three days before the cobbled classic gets underway.
All eyes will fall on the tried-and-tested Oude Kwaremont-Paterberg cobbled combo this weekend as both the men’s and women’s peloton take to the Belgian bergs for the Tour of Flanders. Also known as the Ronde van Vlaanderen, the race runs for its 106th edition for the men, with the women tackling the famous ‘helligen’ for a 19th time.
