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.
Sarah Storey has said that there was a time when she earned nothing for competing in elite cycling. “When I won the able-bodied national series in 2012, there was no prize money for that. Nowadays, that series attracts a prize pot of about £10,000.
Five years after hitting possibly one of the greatest shots in golf’s history, Bubba Watson stared into his bathroom mirror and stopped recognising the man looking back at him. No matter how much he would eat, his body refused to retain weight and he’d lost almost 15kg without any explanation. He looked in horror at the way his ribs now jutted out and the shadows that ran beneath them like sinister valleys. His tall frame, so famous for its unnatural coil and spring, a golf swing nigh on impossible to replicate, suddenly looked so lanky and fragile. The longer he held his gaze, the more the knot that seemed to have taken up permanent residence in his stomach started to tighten. The acid curdled in his oesophagus, the heat burnt across his chest, and the fear raced through his mind uncontrollably; the same words that had kept him up for nights on end. “I can’t breathe, I’m scared, I’m going to die.”
Is Lotte Kopecky the next superstar of women’s cycling? Or is her team a dominant, dynastic force to be reckoned with, one to rival any we’ve seen in the modern era of the sport? 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.
Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix) illustrated he is a “level above everyone” in his Tour of Flanders triumph, according to Discovery Cycling expert Dan Lloyd. In the absence of rival Wout van Aert (Jumbo-Visma), the second Monument of 2022 came down to a head-to-head showdown between the Dutchman and Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) – or so we first thought.
If you walk around Naples with a large wallet in your trousers, then you’re going to get pickpocketed. And this is no different to Grand Tour winners moseying around Oudenaarde with their fancy yellow jerseys on display.
Tadej Pogacar’s flash of anger after blowing his Tour of Flanders debut only serves to underline how good he is, insists Discovery cycling expert Bradley Wiggins. After a devastating flurry of attacks left him in a two-up showdown with Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin-Fenix), an unwise game of cat and mouse at a pedestrian tempo somehow saw Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates)contrive to finish fourth. Ad/> Pogacar slapped his handlebars in frustration as Dylan van Baarle (Ineos Grenadiers) and Valentin Madouas (Groupama-FDJ) swept past to accept the unscheduled podium invitations, with the Slovenian remonstrating with the former at the finish.
