Demare sprints to fourth win in Giro d'Italia, Almeida holds race lead | More sports News

Demare sprints to fourth win in Giro d'Italia, Almeida holds race lead | More sports News

RIMINI (Italy): Frenchman Arnaud Demare powered to his fourth victory in this year’s Giro d’Italia, winning a frenetic stage 11 finish in the seaside town of Rimini on Wednesday. The Groupama-FDJ rider crossed the line just ahead of Tuesday’s stage winner, Slovak Peter Sagan, with Colombian Alvaro Hodeg third after the 182km run north along the Adriatic coastline from Porto Sant’Elpidio. “Coming to the Giro I didn’t think I’d get four stage wins. Hats off to my team mates!” said Demare, who now has 75 career wins, including 14 this season. Demare, 29, becomes the first French rider since 1982 Giro winner Bernard Hinault to claim four stages on the same race. The victory gives him five in total on the Giro, after one last year. Portugal’s Joao Almeida of Deceuninck finished in the leading group, to keep the overall leader’s pink jersey with a 34-second advantage on Team Sunweb’s Dutch rider Wilco Kelderman. “The first part of the stage was fairly quiet, then a frenetic finish with many teams who wanted to race in the front,” said Almeida. A five-rider breakaway formed after leaving Porto Sant’Elpidio with the last man Belgian Sander Armee not caught until the final 6km. “The youngsters of the team have done an enormous work to bring Sander Armee back,” said Demare. “My three lead-out men delivered me in a perfect position and I felt a lot of strength in my legs to launch my sprint.” Thursday’s 12th stage covers 204km around Cesenatico, the hometown of Italian cycling great Marco Pantani, who died in 2004, with five climbs in the Romagna hinterland. “Tomorrow is a very undulating stage, there will be some attacks, but we will be prepared,” said Almeida.

50cm:Valverde seals first victory in rainbow jersey at UAE Tour

After three podium finishes already this year, Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) sealed the first victory of his season and his first in the rainbow jersey as world champion on stage 3 of the UAE Tour. The Spaniard got the better of race leader Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) on Jebel Hafeet, timing his ride just right to catch and drop the Slovenian on the upper slopes.

Valverde said afterwards that it had been a very tactical effort, and he used his knowledge of the ascent to keep calm. The gradient of the 10.8-kilometre Jebel Hafeet is ever-changing, with its toughest part in the middle before easing off at the top.

Valverde won on this climb a year ago to set up his overall win at the Abu Dhabi Tour, and he knew he did not have to react to Roglic's attack with just over four kilometres remaining. Instead, he bided his time until 2.5km to go before setting off in chase of Roglic, finally dropping him just inside the flamme rouge.

"Even though it's at the same place as last year, there is something extra because I won with the world champion's jersey," Valverde said after the stage. "I tried a number of times this year to win my first race with the jersey, so I'm glad that it finally happened today.

"I knew exactly where I wanted to start my effort, which is exactly where I did it last year. I knew that I could wait to make my move. I didn't want to rush. Before, when I saw other guys attacking, I chose to climb at my pace, but I knew that I would come across. I just waited for the right moment to go for the win."

Valverde now sits second in the overall classification, 14 seconds behind Roglic, with Groupama-FDJ rider David Gaudu a further 17 seconds behind him in third place. Jumbo-Visma and Roglic looked well in control of the stage until the final moments and Valverde sees him as his most significant hurdle to overall victory, though he says he's not overly bothered about the title.

Simon Yates: British cyclist wins first Grand Tour at Vuelta a Espana

It’s been an unbelievable day – Simon Yates on Vuelta a Espana win

Simon Yates won the Vuelta a Espana to complete a clean sweep of British victories in this year’s Grand Tours.

The 26-year-old Michelton-Scott rider crossed the line safely in Madrid on Sunday to secure his first Grand Tour, with Spain’s Enric Mas second and Colombia’s Miguel Angel Lopez third.

Britons Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas won the Giro d’Italia and Tour de France respectively this year.

Elia Viviani claimed the 100km final stage of the Vuelta in a bunch sprint.

In a chaotic run-in, the Italian edged out world champion Peter Sagan and Giacomo Nizzolo for his third stage win of the race.

British riders have now won nine of the past 20 Grand Tours, a run that started when Sir Bradley Wiggins became the first Briton to win a Grand Tour with victory in the 2012 Tour de France.

Only twice before have riders from the same country won all three races in the same season, but this is the first time it has been done by different cyclists.

And Yates’ victory will be the fifth Grand Tour triumph in a row for Britain, with Froome having also won last year’s Tour and Vuelta.

“It’s astonishing really,” Yates said. “Growing up I was so accustomed to seeing the French, Italian and Spanish riders lead the way, so for myself, Chris and Geraint to all win a Grand Tour in the same year just shows how far the sport has come in this country.

“It’s been an unbelievable day. I really just enjoyed the moment, I don’t know what else you can do in those situations.

“When I turned professional I signed with the team and we had a really big ambition to win a Grand Tour and now we’ve achieved that. I put the hard work in, I persisted with the training and everything else that goes with it and now we’re here.”

Froome said it was the “perfect year for British riders”. He added: “Simon has looked so strong over the last three weeks and it’s great to see him take home the maillot rojo.”

How Yates won the Vuelta

After a solid opening time trial, so often his Achilles heel in stage races, Yates showed his intent on stage four – the first in the mountains. He had lost a few seconds on stage two but got them back and more by finishing eighth at the top of the Puerto de Alfacar to climb to third overall.

He took control of the red jersey in rather fortuitous fashion on stage nine. He had slipped 14 seconds behind Alejandro Valverde after the 38-year-old Spaniard won stage eight. But Yates finished ninth on a day when Ben King won out of the breakaway to move ahead of Valverde by one second and take the lead.

Yates, who was joined on the podium by Enric Mas and Miguel Angel Lopez, is the fourth British man to win a Grand Tour

The jersey was lost on stage 12 in what appeared to be a planned move, with Yates saying his Mitchelton-Scott team “decided not to really chase anyone”.

He reclaimed it with victory on the climb of La Camperona on stage 14. Though the margin was only a couple of seconds, with bonuses applied he opened up a lead of 20 seconds over Valverde and 25 on the Spaniard’s Movistar team-mate Nairo Quintana.

The time trial on stage 16 threatened to be a stumbling block but Yates was the quickest of all the general classification contenders, taking another seven seconds out of Valverde.

His 25-second lead over the 2009 Vuelta champion may have looked in threat but fears of a Giro-style meltdown were quashed on stage 19 when he attacked on the final climb to beat Valverde by more than a minute.

And he increased his place at the top of the standings with another assured ride on Saturday’s final mountain stage, finishing third as his nearest challengers cracked on the final climb.

Unprecedented success, backdrop of controversies

This has been an unprecedented period of success for British riders, but it has also come against a backdrop of controversies and suspicion.

Yates served a four-month ban in 2016 for failing a drugs test at Paris-Nice, which his then team Orica-GreenEdge put down to an “administrative error”. It later transpired a doctor had failed to apply for a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) for an asthma inhaler.

Yates said at the time: “Unfortunately, as a result of an honest mistake of my team doctor, whom I trusted wholeheartedly, there will now be a doubt cast over my name, my previous results and any future glories.”

Froome, meanwhile, had been under investigation after more than the allowed level of legal asthma drug salbutamol was found in his urine.

The case was dropped in July by cycling’s world governing body the UCI, with the World Anti-Doping Agency accepting there was no breach.

That came four months after a report by MPs said Wiggins and Team Sky had “crossed an ethical line” by using drugs that are allowed under anti-doping rules to enhance performance instead of just for medical purposes.

Rainbow stripes next for Yates?

Yates’ next major race is at the Road World Championships, which take place in Innsbruck, Austria, from 23-30 September.

The men’s road race – on Sunday, 30 September – is on one of the toughest ever courses – 265km with more than 5,000m of climbing at gradients up to 25%

Yates and twin brother Adam will compete for Great Britain in an eight-strong team.

Lizzie Deignan, in 2015, was the last Briton to pull on the famous rainbow jersey at a Road World Championships, with Mark Cavendish, in 2011, the last man to win the title.

BBC Sport will be covering the championships live on BBC TV, red button and online.

Stage 21 result:

1. Elia Viviani (Ita/Quick-Step Floors) 2hrs 21mins 28secs

2. Peter Sagan (Svk/Bora-Hansgrohe) Same time

3. Giacomo Nizzolo (Ita/Trek-Segafredo)

Cycling: 14 Teams After 8 Available Pro Tour Licences

It’s a competitive business cycling and not just on the road. Being granted UCI pro team status is proving to be a matter of demand exceeding supply. On 16 August the UCI announced there were 14 applications for eight licences for the season, six of them from teams that do not have pro tour status. Four applicants for pro tour licences, Bbox Bouygues Telecom (FRA), BMC Racing Team (USA), Cofidis, le credit en ligne (FRA) and Vacansoleil ProCycling Team (NED), have pro continental licences.

Two applications are from teams applying for new licences, the Luxembourg Pro Cycling Project (LUX) and Pegasus Sports which races as flyVaustralia (AUS). Henk Vogels is the Director Sportif. Pro tour status entitles a team to a starting place in the three Grand Tours of the year. Teams with pro continental licences have to compete for wild card entries. Bbox, BMC and Cofidis all gained entry to the Giro d’Italia and le Tour de France this year.

Sporting Criterion and the New Contenders

The UCI announcement stated, “only those teams fulfilling a series of very strict criteria (excellent performance in sporting terms – the most important criterion; unconditional respect of ethics; assurance of financial stability and effective administration)” will be granted a licence. The sporting criterion takes into account world rankings and performance in the tours and major events.

Of the two new contenders the Luxembourg Pro Cycling Project is a heavyweight to the Australians’ flyweight. The Luxembourg team will consist of Andy and Frank Schlek with an as yet unannounced supporting cast that may include Stuart O’Grady, Jens Voigt and Jakob Fulsang. The new junior time trial champion Bob Jungels of Luxembourg has also been mentioned by Andy Schlek. If you compare the Luxembourg team with the Australian application on the UCI’s sporting criterion the Australian team loses.

Pegasus Racing’s best result to date is Ben Day’s win at the Tour de Beauce in Canada in June, which he also won. Darren Rolfe was 2nd overall. flyVAustralia won the Team’s classification and Ben Day won the points classification to add to his overall win. These are good but not glittering results that demonstrate potential. It is also notable that none of the Australian members of the Pegasus team were selected in the Australian team for the World Championships in Geelong, Australia.

The Australian World team consists of riders already on the pro tour including 23-year-old Wesley Sulzberger of FDJ. His older brother, Bernard, races for Pegasus. The U23 Australian team, the Cyclones, were primarily drawn from Team Jayco-Skins. If it’s a competition between the two new contenders Australia loses and may have to hope they can outrank a vulnerable or similarly hopeful team.

Teams Applying for Renewals

In addition to the six teams applying for pro tour status, eight teams are applying for renewal of their existing pro tour licences, Astana, Euskadel-Euskadi, Ex-Team Milram (provisional name Velocity), FDJ, Geox on a Spanish, not Italian, licence despite its new Italian sponsor, Liquigas-Doimo, HTC Columbia and Telefonica Movistar/Abarca Sports (ESP). Astana with its loss of Alberto Contador and Telefonica with its lack of profile may be the least likely to gain renewals.

The Licence Commission will examine the files submitted by teams applying for UCI ProTour licences during the month of November. An announcement of the provisional list of teams to be awarded licences will be made on 20 November. The definitive list will be published on 10 December.

Australia has produced so many pro tour stars that it deserves a pro tour licence. Whether Pegasus Sports has the talent as yet will be determined by the UCI. Whatever the UCI’s decision some teams are going to be disappointed.

Tour de France 2017: Highlights, news, standings, and more

Chris Froome can win a fourth Tour de France and solidify his place among the greatest cyclists of all time.

The 2017 Tour de France will be fascinating, indeed. Chris Froome is attempting to become one of five riders to ever win three Tours in a row, and if he wins a fourth yellow jersey, only Jacques Anquetil, Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, and Miguel Indurain will have won more.

Standing in his way is the deepest set of challengers he has ever faced, beginning with former teammate Richie Porte. The Australian is having a stellar season with two world tour wins to Froome’s zero. He beat Froome head-to-head just last month at the Critérium du Dauphiné.

Nairo Quintana, Romain Bardet, Alberto Contador, Fabio Aru, Daniel Martin, and others will also have their say, thanks in large part to a course seemingly designed to create chaos on the general classification. Two short time trials and a lack of mountain top finishes will mitigate Froome’s two biggest advantages over the field: His time trialing and his teammates.

Instead, the Tour features several brutal, peleton-thinning mid-stage climbs, like the three-headed monster in the Massif du Jura on Stage 9, and massive climbs over Galibier and Croix de Fer in the Alps on Stage 17. Stage 18, meanwhile, ends with the third-highest mountain top finish in Tour history atop Col d’Izoard.

The result is potentially the most wide-open Tour we’ve seen in some time. Froome may yet win again — he’s, rightfully, the betting favorite — but he’ll have to fight harder than ever to wear the Maillot Jaune in Paris.

Route

Map courtesy of the Tour’s official site:

The 2017 Tour de France begins in Düsseldorf, Germany, and will cross through Belgium and Luxembourg before taking on the bulk of France. As in 2016, the Tour stops in the Jura Mountains of the Massif Central before the first rest day — Stage 9 could be the decisive stage of the Tour. After that, riders fly to the Pyrenees to take on some more traditional climbs. The Alps section is highlighted by the Col d’Izoard on Stage 18, which will be the third-highest stage finish in Tour history.

50cm:Behind the scenes with Trek-Segafredo – Women's Edition Podcast

Welcome to the second episode of Cyclingnews Podcast Women's Edition, brought to you by Sportful, Pinarello and Floyd's of Leadville.

In this episode, we take a behind the scenes look at the new Trek-Segafredo women's team. We will hear from team manager Luca Guercilena, directeur sportifs Ina Yoko Teutenberg and Giorgia Bronzini and star rider Lizzie Deignan.

Trek-Segafredo are part of a growing trend of WorldTour teams running men's and women's squads under the same umbrella, with Movistar, FDJ, Astana, Mitchelton-Scott, CCC, Sunweb and Lotto Soudal all running concurrent programmes.

Trek have been involved in women's road cycling with the Trek-Drops team for the past few years, but they announced last July that they would set up their own programme. In the months since the announcement, they have built up a roster of 14 riders, led by former world champion Deignan, with support from former riders Teutenberg and Bronzini. They had their first team camp soon after the conclusion of the 2018 season, at Trek's headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin.

They met up again, along with the men's team, a few months later for a training camp in Sicily, in December. This is where we caught up with them, a day after they landed on the Italian island. The training camp was an opportunity for everybody to touch base before the season began at the Tour Down Under just a few weeks later and a chance to get in a final few group rides.
