Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) stormed to victory at Amstel Gold with another dominant display, as he beat Ben Healy (EF Education-EasyPost) and Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers). Pogacar made his move with 28.5km to go on the Keutenberg. The Slovenian didn’t look back, as he went on to win the Dutch spring classic for the first time.
There will be another mouthwatering Classics match-up at the 2023 Amstel Gold Race on Sunday as Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Britain's Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers) go head-to-head. The pair were both in the field at the recent Tour of Flanders but experienced contrasting fortunes, Pogacar taking the win after a late solo breakaway, while Pidcock made a «stupid» fuelling mistake that meant he was not in contention at the front of the race.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) and Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) have gone blow for blow in the early part of the 2023 season as the pair look set to for another battle royale at July's Tour de France. Pogacar has confirmed his status as a rider for all stages, winning Paris-Nice and the Tour of Flanders to go alongside the existing Grand Tour pedigree he already has.
Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) will be “absolutely gutted” after a puncture derailed his “faultless race” at Paris-Roubaix, according to Eurosport expert Adam Blythe. The Belgian looked ominously strong as he dropped a blistering attack on the Carrefour de l'Arbre, just moments after chief rival Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck) had collided with John Degenkolb (DSM), causing the latter rider to crash. Ad But promise turned to despair for Van Aert within a kilometre as a rear-wheel puncture allowed Van der Poel to disappear into clear air and leave the 28-year-old leading a forlorn chase.
Wout van Aert says he isn’t feeling in top shape ahead of his bid for Paris-Roubaix glory on Sunday as the Belgian continues to recover from a nasty crash at the Tour of Flanders. The Jumbo-Visma rider finished fourth at last weekend's cobbled Classic and was left with a bloodied knee after going down with 141km remaining. Ad Van Aert is expected to face off with rival Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) at the hotly anticipated 120th edition of the ‘Hell of the North’ Monument in northern France.
Ineos Grenadiers’ Tom Pidcock lamented his “stupid mistake” of failing to eat enough for the Tour of Flanders on Sunday. That error contributed to the British team failing to land a single rider in the top 20 on the day, with an even worse result for Ben Turner, who fractured his arm. Ad Pidcock was one of the favourites for a good showing, though he would have done well to beat any of Tadej Pogacar, Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert in Belgium.
All-time cycling great Eddy Merckx believes Tadej Pogacar «can win everything» after winning a maiden Tour of Flanders title. The two-time Tour de France champion produced a stunning solo attack on the penultimate climb to pass lone leader Mads Pedersen and said afterwards he «could retire after today and be proud of my career». Ad Pogacar now only needs Milano-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix to complete the Monument sweep; a feat only pulled off by Merckx, Rik Van Looy and Roger De Vlaeminck.
UAE Team Emirates star Tadej Pogacar won the Tour of Flanders on Sunday with a searing solo attack in the final 20km on the one-day race to equal the great Eddy Merckx's achievement almost half a century ago.
