Eight months after becoming the youngest post-war winner of the Tour de France, Felice Gimondi triumphed over the cobbles of northern France. His victory in the Roubaix velodrome – by almost four minutes after riding the final 40km solo – underlined the young Italian’s status as the successor to the legendary “Campionissimo” Fausto Coppi.
Remco Evenepoel hints he could make his debut at the Tour de France next year, but says he will assess the route first. The 22-year-old won the Vuelta a Espana in September before going on to take victory at the Road World Championships — becoming the youngest world champion in 29 years — in a fantastic year for the QuickStep-Alpha Vinyl rider. Ad Team boss Patrick Lefevere has suggested that Evenepoel should try and win the Giro d'Italia in 2023 before making his Tour de France debut in 2024.
The Giro d'Italia will start in a unique way in 2023, with organisers announcing that the first stage will be a time trial along a coastal cycle path made from a disused railway line. The Costa dei Trabocchi cycle path in the Abruzzo region is the precise destination for what should be a picturesque beginning to the 106th edition of the race. Ad The 11.4-mile stage against-the-clock will begin at Fossacesia Marina and end with a short climb to Ortona just down the Adriatic coast.
PARIS : RCS Sport, organisers of the Giro d'Italia, are asking for Filippo Ganna to find another date for his attempt at the Hour record as it is scheduled for the same day as their flagship one-day race, the Giro di Lombardia.
Belgian Remco Evenepoel has his sights set on winning the Tour de France and the Giro d'Italia after claiming the Vuelta a Espana title on Sunday for his first Grand Tour triumph.
Moments after becoming the first Belgian in 44 years to win a Grand Tour at La Vuelta, Remco Evenepoel revealed his ultimate dream to Eurosport’s Alberto Contador: “win all three.” The Belgian (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) cruised through the procession into Madrid on Sunday to deliver the first of those three titles in Spain, with his sights now turning to the Tour de France and Giro d’Italia. Ad “Win all three Grand Tours, that’s my biggest dream,” Evenepoel told seven-time Grand Tour champion Contador.
Alex Dowsett has announced he has retired from professional cycling on the road in pursuit of other challenges in the sport. Dowsett, who has rode for Trek-Livestrong, Team Sky, Movistar, Katusha-Alpecin and Israel Start-Up Nation, originally wanted to race on for another two seasons but has changed his mind. Ad “I’m going to step out of the WorldTour, step out of pro cycling from now,” he said on his YouTube channel.
Annemiek van Vleuten is seen as the favourite for the Tour de France Femme but she described much of the pressure as ‘hype’ and insisted she was not worried. It is easy to see why the Dutchwoman is the favourite going into the relaunched tournament, which was previously run in different formats. Ad/> Van Vleuten has won two of the shorter formats — La Course — in 2017 and then 2018, and is the Olympic time trial champion.
