Tadej Pogacar has withdrawn from Liege-Bastogne-Liege following the death of his partner’s mother. On Thursday, Pogacar’s fiancee Urska Zigart revealed her mother had died — and it was understood that the two-time Tour de France winner had returned to Slovenia to be with her.
La gran mayoría de corredores del pelotón internacional valorarían com positivo un 12º puesto en una carrera de la trascendencia de la No así Tadej Pogacar, un auténtico devorador de récords que ha convertido en rutina lo extraordinario. Sus números, cada vez más imponentes (pichichi del año con siete victorias), le otorgan el cartel de máximo favorito allá donde va, aunque eso no le sirvió de mucho al esloveno en una clásica belga en la que rompió una racha tremenda tras una mala colocación en el Muro de Huy que le obligó a quemar energías extra para remontar posiciones.
Four days after the midweek outing at La Fleche Wallonne, the last and most important of the Ardennes classics plays out on the rolling roads south of Liege. One of the oldest classics on the cycling calendar, La Doyenne – the Old Lady – is the fourth Monument of the season and the last-chance saloon for the big one-day racers ahead of the Grand Tours.
Now the French public (or at least, some of them) has voted in the Presidential elections, what should have happened last weekend can now happen: the 119th edition of Paris-Roubaix will be run on Easter Sunday one day after the second edition of the women’s Queen of the Classics. While the calendar quirk has largely mystified fans used to the Tour of Flanders following Paris-Roubaix on successive Sundays, it has kept the door open to Wout van Aert, the Belgian champion who missed the Ronde after contracting Covid earlier during Flanders Week.
It is three weeks since Mathieu Van der Poel returned to racing after several months out with knee and back injuries. After so long away, he and his Alpecin-Fenix employers thought it wise to ease him in with a mere Monument. As you do.
“To be learning from and to be close to the best rider in the world is amazing,” UAE Team Emirates Juan Ayuso tells this week’s GCN Eurosport Cycling Show. “He’s helping me to become a better rider.” Winners beget winners. Whether from additional sponsors or an increase in investment by originals, two Tour de France victories enable an outfit to attract a level of financial backing that can turn it from a team with a great rider, to a great team.
