Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) is an “incredibly scary prospect” for everyone in cycling, says Eurosport expert Dan Lloyd, after the Slovenian’s latest brilliant win at the Tour of Flanders on Sunday. The Slovenian dethroned Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck) with a sensational solo attack as he added yet another title to his already ridiculous palmarès.
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) basked in a day he will “never forget” after winning a maiden Tour of Flanders title on Sunday with a scintillating solo attack. The two-time Tour de France champion, who somehow contrived to finish fourth in a two-horse race in 2022, made his decisive attack on the penultimate climb – the Oude Kwaremont – distancing Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin–Deceuninck) and quickly reeling in, and then passing, lone leader Mads Pedersen (Trek–Segafredo). Ad He crested the final climb – the Paterberg – with a 14-second lead over Van der Poel, leaving a 12km time trial into the finish in Oudenaard.
Tadej Pogacar claimed his third Monument classic after a brutal attack on the Old Quaremont hill helped him win the Tour of Flanders on Sunday (Apr 2).
Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) wrote the next captivating chapter in his illustrious career with a remarkable solo victory in the fastest Tour of Flanders ever raced. After a series of early skirmishes, the Slovenian put in his decisive attack on the second dual ascent of the Oude Kwaremont and Paterberg to drop rival Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) and deny the Dutchman a third win in four years.
The majority of the peloton was wiped out in a horror crash at the Tour of Flanders after a rider hit a puddle and veered into his rivals. Polish rider Filip Maciejuk (Bahrain Victorious) was attempting to move up in the pack with 140km remaining by taking an off-road route but ran out of room, hitting a sodden grassy bank and careering into the bunch. Ad A concertina effect was sparked in the peloton, causing dozens of riders to hit the deck and sparking a shocking tangle of limbs and carbon fibre.
Tadej Pogacar says that his best chance of victory at Sunday’s Tour of Flanders will be by making it to the end alone and avoiding a sprint finish with the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert. The trio are the favourites in Belgium; Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) warmed up with victory at the E3 Saxo Classic, while Van der Poel (Alpecin-Deceuninck) is the defending champion after edging out Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) last year. Ad Two-time Tour de France winner Pogacar acknowledged ahead of the event that his best chance lies in losing Van Aert and Van der Poel on the cobble-strewn 273km course and not relying on the Oude Kwaremont-Paterberg finale.
Eurosport expert Dani Christmas believes the women’s Tour of Flanders is going to be “absolutely bonkers” in a race she describes as “incredibly special”. Lotte Kopecky will defend her title from last year as SD Worx bring a very strong team, including Lorena Wiebes, Demi Vollering and Marlen Reusser, to one of the biggest one-day races on the calendar. Ad In 2022, Kopecky beat Annemiek van Vleuten in a head-to-head sprint in the final hundred metres.
Julian Alaphilippe says «self-pity isn't any use» as he — and his team — look to make some indents on cycling's biggest names during the Classics season. Alaphilippe followed a disappointing 43rd at Strade Bianche with an 11th-placed finish at Milan-San Remo and then abandoned the E3 Saxo Classic with illness.
