Paris — RoubaixVan Dijk 'more excited' for Hour Record than Paris-Roubaix20 HOURS AGO Last year’s winner Lizzie Deignan is not returning to defend her trophy, sitting out the 2022 season as she is expecting her second child. That leaves the field relatively open but there are a few familiar faces on the starting list that are definitely worth keeping an eye on. Marianna Vos is a legendary name that can never be ignored, the Dutchwoman having finished second in Gent-Wevelgem this season and seventh in Strade Bianche.
Forget that it’s actually closer to a fortnight, so-called Flanders Week lived up to its expectation with four races of high-octane action over the cobbles and Belgian bergs played out under a variety of conditions and featuring some humdinging performances as well as some uncharacteristic wobbles. Here are 10 talking points from a sea of potential takeaways… Ad/> Pendulum shifts from Van Aert to Van der Poel /> Ronde van VlaanderenRonde van Vlaanderen Women highlights as Lotte Kopecky beats Annemiek van VleutenA DAY AGO Forced to sit out the Ronde van Vlaanderen after being struck down by Covid, Wout van Aert had the sight of his rival Mathieu van der Poel winning a second crown in his absence further compounded by receiving an alert from Strava shortly afterwards informing him that the Dutchman had taken his KOM for the key Koppenberg-Steenbeekdries-Taaienberg section.

Hyperbole perhaps, and it is probably too early in the season to tell either way, but there is a frightening possibility that the answer may in fact be “both.” Ad/> To scrutinise the second question first, there was certainly something terrifyingly, professionally efficient about the way SD Worx delivered Kopecky to victory in Oudenaarde on Sunday afternoon. /> Ronde van VlaanderenRonde van Vlaanderen Women highlights as Lotte Kopecky beats Annemiek van Vleuten10 HOURS AGO From flag drop to finale, their riders were everywhere. Well, not literally everywhere, but everywhere they could be to influence the race in their favour.
Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) underlined her favourite billing with a fine sprint victory over Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) at the Tour of Flanders. The Belgian, aided by team-mate Chantal van den Broek-Blaak, proved the strongest in a frantic finale.

A stunning ride from Lotte Kopecky (SD Worx) saw the Belgian sprint to a brilliant Strade Bianche Donne victory ahead of Annemiek van Vleuten. It all came down to a dramatic finale in front of an enthralled watching public and it was Kopecky who had just enough in the tank to take the triumph over the 136km course.
