Annemiek van Vleuten fears that the course for the 2022 La Madrid Challenge may not be sufficiently hard enough for her to complete a major stage-race treble. Van Vleuten has already secured overall crowns at the Giro d'Italia Donne and Tour de France Femmes this year, and is defending her crown at the five-stage Spanish event.
Caroline Garcia continued her rich vein of form as she powered past Coco Gauff to reach the semi-final of the US Open, ending the young American’s dream of securing a home Grand Slam in the process. The Frenchwoman claimed her 13th successive win in most convincing manner, overcoming the highly rated Gauff on Arthur Ashe Stadium in mightily impressive fashion to seal her place in the last-four. Ad It has been a fine tournament for the world No.
Casper Ruud is proving that he is more than just a “clay court player”, according to Eurosport’s Barbara Schett, who was most impressed by his performance in the 6-1 6-4 7-6(4) victory over Matteo Berrettini in the US Open quarter-final. The 23-year-old, who is bidding to win his first Grand Slam and is also fighting to keep his No. 1 hopes alive, was excellent on return as he brushed aside Berrettini in straight sets on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
It’s hard to see how Primoz Roglic could have played his cards better at the end of an otherwise dull and dreary Stage 16 of La Vuelta – save for not undoing all his hard work by inexplicably crashing inside the final 100 metres. “We had planned to attack in the final phase of this stage,” Jumbo-Visma DS Addy Engels later said.
:Mads Pedersen won a thrilling sprint at the end of stage 16 at the Vuelta a Espana as overall contender Primoz Roglic's hopes of dislodging leader Remco Evenepoel were hit by a heavy crash metres from the line on Tuesday.
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) has no interest in settling for second place at La Vuelta and will risk everything to unravel Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) in the final week, according to Eurosport expert Dan Lloyd. Roglic clawed back time on leader Evenepoel on a blistering weekend of action, which saw the Slovenian close to within 1’34” of his rival in the general classification. Ad The Vuelta appeared to be turning into a procession when Evenepoel blew apart the individual time trial on Stage 10 to open up a gap approaching three minutes, but the Belgian’s crash on Stage 12 and a sub-par showing in the mountains at the weekend have injected fresh life into the red jersey battle.
BMW’s Michael van der Mark will be back in WorldSBK action at Magny-Cours this weekend after missing a majority of the season through injury.
Good week: Richard Carapaz If the Ecuadorian is too good a rider to be flirting below the bottom of the top 20 of a Grand Tour, then his lowly position has enabled him to get into a position where a hat-trick of wins in the second week looked momentarily on the cards. Ad After being in the large break on Sunday’s queen stage in Sierra Nevada, Carapaz faded on the final climb and was not able to add to his wins at Penas Blancas and La Pandera.
