Christophe Laporte (Jumbo-Visma) won Gent-Wevelgem after a dominant display from his Dutch super team in sodden conditions. The 34-year-old stormed clear on the penultimate ascent of the Kemmelberg alongside team-mate Wout van Aert. And the pair stayed away – holding a near two-minute advantage over the chasing pack into Wevelgem – in an astonishing show of dominance.
Sixty-two years after his grandfather Raymond Poulidor won Milano-San Remo, Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) put in a pulverising performance to win the first Monument of the season on the via Roma in style. The Dutchman attacked from a leading quartet near the top of the Poggio to open up a small but decisive gap over Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates), Belgium’s Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) and Italy’s Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers).

Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) sprinted to Stage 5 success at Paris-Nice on Thursday as David Gaudu (Groupama-FDJ) made inroads into the general classification lead of Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates).

Ad After Pogacar won his first serious battle with Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) of 2023 on Stage 4, the 212.4km Stage 5 – the longest of the event – was billed as one for the sprinters or breakaway artists.
Mads Pedersen (Trek–Segafredo) won a chaotic sprint finish in the second stage of Paris-Nice from Olav Kooij (Jumbo-Visma) and also took the overall lead of the race. Tim Merlier (Soudal–Quick-Step) was the big favourite to make it back-to-back stage wins but a crash with 1km remaining split the peloton up. Ad The top 10 were all closely congested at the finish line as Pedersen powered past Kooij, with Magnus Cort Nielsen (EF Education–EasyPost) third and Dan McLay (Arkea–Samsic) in fourth.
