Glad he finally got another one. Hopefully this gives him a boost for the next classics campaign.PTP Champion 2019, 2022 & 20230 -

Rather impressed with the way they have beefed up the parcour in the Bretagne Classique, especially adding a touch of Tro Bro to the mix. A pity the races are so far apart in the season. Would make for a very interesting weekend, with the smaller race benefiting from an improved startlist.
Meanwhile, after an excellent edition upon it's return last year, the naff Deutschland Tour parcour this year failed to produce any meaningful splits.

Amazing.
It looks like a publicity shot.

The GP Fourmies was on Eurosport yesterday evening.
Nacer Bouhanni: The biter bit. Tried his usual tactic of shoulder charging Phillipsen off Ackermann's wheel but the young Belgian wouldn't budge. So, Bouhanni ended up sucking tarmac instead.

The sideways speed of Bouh was amazing.
Also lucky that so few others were brought down.0 -
That website is horrible0

Matthews with a good finish to take the GP Quebec ahead of Sagan and GvA0

I missed the GP de Montréal and haven’t found video of Sagan chasing down Alaphilippe. Please post if you have a link.
Also, what happened to Evenepoel?
Wish it was easier to follow what goes on in these not-all-that-small races.0 -
No links, but Evenepoel punctured with 20km to go. Think he made it back to the pack but it had all kicked off so he missed the moves.0

Thanks.0

We currently have some major echelon action going on in the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen.
DQS have had the hammer down for 25kms on the finishing laps blowing the race into pieces and Mark Cavendish is right in the mix.
Last lap the lead group split right in front of him and the way he rode across the gap was well impressive.

What a surprise, DQS find another rider to win with. August 1st trainee signing, Jannik Steimle managed to get away solo and the team, as usual, had the numbers to strangle the chase."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0

Not sure what Jumbo-Visma were doing - had Roosen on the attack in the final when he'd have been better deployed bringing Steimle back and set up Groenewagen for the sprint.0

The Primus Classic this afternoon has MVDP vs Sagan vs GVA, amongst others...expect to see lots of that cat-like pro behaviour of trying to make it look like you’re not really bothered about something when really you were, because, you know, really it’s all about next week in Yorkshire, etc.0

Yeah, very nicely played by Trek and Theuns, just managing to hang on. A big hand goes to Stuyven and before him Pedersen, in unpicking the DQS lockdown.
This race seems to specialize in that sort of finish.
Sean de Bie just managed to hold off the charging group, by about the same margin, back in 2015.
Trentin won by a handful of seconds, in 2017. Last year, it was a group of 4 doing the same."Science is a tool for cheaters". An anonymous French PE teacher.0 -
