(ANSA) – ROMA, 08 LUG – L’ungherese Kata Blanka Vas (SD Worx), ha vinto l’ottava tappa del Giro Donne, da Nuoro a Sassari di 125 km.

Showdown beim Fleche Wallonne Außenseiter düpiert Topstars an Monster-Mauer 20.04.2022, 17:47 Uhr Der belgische Radprofi Dylan Teuns düpiert die Top-Favoriten beim 86. Fleche Wallonne. Der 30-Jährige vom Team Bahrain Victorious siegt nach 202,1 Kilometer im schweren Finale an der Mauer von Huy und sorgt für den ersten belgischen Erfolg beim Ardennen-Klassiker seit elf Jahren. Dylan Teuns hat völlig überraschend den Radklassiker Flèche Wallonne gewonnen. Der Belgier war nach 202 Kilometern am bis zu 25 Prozent steilen Schlussanstieg in Huy der stärkste Fahrer und verwies den fünfmaligen Flèche-Sieger Alejandro Valverde aus Spanien auf Platz zwei. Dritter wurde der Russe Alexander Wlassow vom deutschen Team Bora-hansgrohe. Teuns trat etwa 300 Meter vor der Ziellinie an und hängte die Top-Favoriten Tadej Pogacar sowie Julian Alaphilippe ab. Valverde ging als letzten Verfolger 200 Meter später die Kraft aus. Vorjahressieger Alaphilippe (Frankreich/Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) wurde schließlich noch Vierter. Tour-Champion Pogacar (Slowenien/UAE Emirates) erreichte das Ziel mit sieben Sekunden Rückstand als Zwölfter. Die Mauer von Huy ist ein insgesamt 1,3 Kilometer langer und im Durchschnitt zehn Prozent steiler Schlussanstieg. Mehr zum Thema Einziger deutscher Sieger beim Klassiker ist Rolf Gölz, der das Rennen 1988 gewann. Der Fleche Wallone ist Teil der Ardennen-Trilogie. Den Auftakt beim Amstel Gold Race hatte am Sonntag der polnische Ex-Weltmeister Michal Kwiatkowski (Ineos Grenadiers) für sich entschieden, am kommenden Sonntag steht zum Abschluss Lüttich-Bastogne-Lüttich auf dem Programm. Der deutsche Meister Maximilian Schachmann (Bora-hansgrohe) verpasst die Ardennen-Klassiker wegen der Folgen einer Infektion. Im Frauenrennen war Liane Lippert in guter Position in den gefürchteten Schlussanstieg gegangen. Doch für eine Podiumsplatzierung waren die Beinde der Dritten des Amstel Gold Race nicht gut genug. Den Sieg sicherte sich wie schon beim Amstel vor anderthalb Wochen die Italienerin Marta Cavalli vor dem niederländischen Duo Annemiek van Vleuten und Demi Vollering. Zuvor hatte die inzwischen zurückgetretene Niederländerin Anna van der Breggen des Rennen sieben Mal nacheinander gewonnen.

Tour de France Femmes - Stage 5

After four stages and three days, the Tour de France Femmes finally crossed into France, where it would finish in Amneville. This was a lumpy stage with five categorized climbs, and many teams had breakaway ambitions. The strongest of the breakaway attempts was a trio of strong riders up the road in the latter half of the race. Fem van Empel (Visma Lease-a-Bike), Loes Adegeest (FDJ-Suez), and Julie Van de Wilde (AG Insurance-Soudal) worked together well and stayed away for a long time, with van Empel scooping up the bonus seconds near the end. The biggest news from this portion was how much Gaia Realini (Lidl-Trek) appeared to be struggling at the back on the short climbs, not a good sign for her GC prospects before we even got to the mountains.

The story of this stage, however, was not one of the breakaway versus the peloton, but of the cruelty of this sport. In an unassuming curve 6km from the finish, a relatively high-speed crash in the main bunch took down some of the top riders, including yellow jersey wearer Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime), Ruby Roseman-Gannon (Liv-AlUla-Jayco), polka-dot jersey Puck Piertese (Fenix-Deceuninck), and Pfeiffer Georgi (dsm-firmenich-postNL). It was a bad crash, with some riders taking a long time to get up and others—including Georgi—not getting up at all, abandoning the race. The images of the crash were not pretty, and we will not reproduced them here.

Vollering was up relatively quickly, but didn't get back on the bike for a while, as she looked to be in pain and had visible tears in her shorts showing road rash on her hip. With the crash outside the 5km mark, all Vollering could do was remount and try to chase back on. We don't even think she got a bike change, and she didn't have any teammates to help her for quite a while, until she reached Mischa Bredewold who could help pull her on the flats.

Up ahead, the parts of the peloton that had survived the crash soon caught the breakaway, and Kristen Faulkner (EF-Oatly-Cannondale) sparked the winning move off the front. Only Blanka Vas (SD Worx-Protime), Kasia Niewiadoma (Canyon-SRAM), and Liane Lippert (Movistar) could join. As they came into the sprint, Lippert attacked from behind, but Niewiadoma and Vas jumped quickly on her wheel and came past her, with Vas the faster of the two. Vas' reaction shows her mixed emotions on the day for Team SD Worx-Protime.

Behind, it was a race against the clock, as Demi Vollering fought to limit her time losses. She was moving quickly, but was in visible pain at the line and after the stage, though she did her cooldown as usual on the stationary bike.

Although Kasia Niewiadoma didn't win the sprint for the stage, she moved into the lead on GC after her strong performance yesterday and today, and will wear yellow tomorrow. We can't feel bad about Niewiadoma in yellow, she certainly deserves it, but even she would probably admit this isn't how she would prefer to take it.

We're a little disheartened with this crash, and hope the riders will recover. Like we said above, this is a cruel sport sometimes, and it's very off-putting. Not everyone was badly hurt—Puck Pieterse was walking around with seemingly boundless energy, throwing flowers to the crowd, despite skinning her chin, hands, and knees. But the overhead images of Pfeiffer Georgi will stay with us for a while, and only time will tell how well Vollering will be able to recover before tomorrow's increasingly mountainous course.

UCI president David Lappartient told BBC Sport he will “continue to push” ASO though.

Post update

Deignan skipped the Giro Rosa, which was a particularly hilly and tough course this year.

Could that benefit the former world champion here or will the other favourites have better form after putting more racing miles in?

Posted at 8:538:53

Post update

Britain’s Lizzie Deignan, speaking to ITV4:“I’ve not raced since winning the Women’s Tour last month because I’ve been at altitude so I’m curious to see how I’ll go.

“Van Vleuten might struggle because these are power climbs. It should suit us as a team.

“Vos is in top shape and is the one to beat – or the one to drop if we can.

“I’m really happy with where I am but I’ve never come down from an altitude block and straight into a race – I’ve heard mixed things but it’s all about suffering and i’m pretty good at that.

“I’m not race sharp but working towards the world championships, I’m really happy with where I am.”

70km to go

A few counter and surges off the front of the peloton have brought the gap down.

The 10 riders in the break lead by 1:05 with 70km to go.

Post update

There is an absolutely savage ramp up towards the finish line in Pau.

I don’t think the pure sprinters stand much chance in that finale.

Marianne Vos might well enjoy it though.

The contenders

Annemiek van Vleuten comes into the race having just defended her title at the Giro Rosa, the women’s sole Grand Tour, which ended on Sunday.

Van Vleuten is also chasing a third straight La Course title and won an amazing race last year, overhauling compatriot Anna van der Breggen in the final 25m on a brutal rise to the line.

World champion Van der Breggen is another former La Course winner in the field, as is Marianne Vos, who is in tremendous form after winning four stages at the Giro Rosa.

Lizzie Deignan is trying to use this race to build her form towards the world championships in Yorkshire later this year.

Britons Alice and Hannah Barnes could compete and also look out for Katarzyna Niewiadoma, Elisa Longo Borghini, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, Chloe Hosking and Amanda Spratt.

80km to go

Alexandra Manly has dropped back, leaving 10 riders in the break: Sarah Roy (Mitchelton-Scott), Karol-Ann Canuel (Boels-Dolmans), Jeanne Korevaar (CCC-Liv), Elise Chabbey (Bigla), Nikola Noskova (Bigla), Alexis Ryan (Canyon-SRAM), Liane Lippert (Sunweb), Audrey Cordon Ragot (Trek-Segafredo), Evita Muzic (FDJ), Sofie de Vuyst (Parkhotel Valkenburg).

They lead the chasing peloton by 1:15.

Route profile

The women’s peloton are tackling 121km in total – made up of five laps of the 27.2km individual time trial course that will be used for stage 13 of the Tour de France later on.

Each lap includes the climbs of the Cote d’Esquillot and the Cote de Gelos, while there is also a sharp drag up to the finish in Pau.

Racing got under way around 45 minutes ago and a breakaway of 11 riders have got up the road.
