Wonder if Hirschi will ride Liege at weekend now ? He's going to be cooked soon surely

You'd think so but he's bound to go for it, surely?

Agree,why not.

Funny thing is some of these guys would rather ride CX if there was money in it.
Talk about masochistic tendency among cyclists

Makes a lot of sense. I'm crap at it, but CX is a lot more fun than ... well, most other ways of inducing an hour of pain.

The youngsters I know doing it never seem as excited about the crit racing.

When you're semi-pro level, there may also be the fact that CX is all over in an hour, where the alternative is riding to avoid being dropped for 4hours on the road.

Another youngster, 20 year old Oier Lazkand who won the stage in Volta a Portugal after a 50k solo break.Future name to look out for.Second place for Dan Mclay.

Hirschi rides as if he was born in Flanders

You do realise Flèche Wallonne isn't in Flanders?

Hence the name, however judging by the amount of winners from that part of Belgium it may as well be

Since they started using the Huy finish, there's only Mario Aerts and Rik Verbrugghe and even that's only if you mean Flanders region not provinces.

Better years are coming with WVA and Evenpoel

Binky bonk GC:

8km ITT over the Slingerberg near Riemst today, replacing the intended stage to Sittard NL (and Wednesday's lost Flushing ITT) because of the Dutch sports event ban. Final stage from Ottignes-LLN to Geraardsbergen as planned tomorrow. Hopefully.

Evie Richards won the short track race earlier in the week in her first senior MTB race. She came 8th yesterday in the XCO race.

Surely one of the coming superstars of UK bike racing.

The way things are going in bike racing, I'm gonna put a tenner on her to win Le Tour 2021 (either gender).

This is nice, Dan Maclay has been a bit out of the winners enclosure for a while
