That sounds awful, completely missed that. Must be really traumatic for him and his children.

Laura Kenny has announced her retirement from cycling. A fantastic career to look back on for her!

Belgian cyclist Wout van Aert suffered a broken collarbone and several broken ribs in a heavy crash at the Dwars door Vlaanderen one-day race.
The 29-year-old will now miss upcoming classics the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and Amstel Gold Race. Team Visma-Lease a Bike added it is "unclear" how long he will be out for. Van Aert fell in a high-speed crash 67 kilometres from the finish of the race in Belgium, which was won by Visma team-mate Matteo Jorgenson. |

That's not good - he's always a key part of the Grand Tour teams so it would be a real shame if he's not able to recover for then. All the best to him.

World champion Lotte Kopecky won her first women's Paris-Roubaix as Great Britain's Pfeiffer Georgi claimed a podium place in a sprint finish.
Georgi, 23, led out a six-strong group in the Roubaix Velodrome before being overtaken in the finishing straight. Italy's Elisa Balsamo was second but Georgi just edged out the Netherlands' three-time world champion Marianne Vos on the line to finish third. Britain's Tom Pidcock is a late entry into the men's race on Sunday |

Ah that's awful - really not good to see last year's winner potentially not even being able to start (a collapsed lung doesn't sounds good at all, really hope it's not career or life-threatening). I've seen Roglic and Evenepoel have crashed badly recently as well, I wonder if any of the main contenders are even going to make it to the Tour?

Geraint Thomas says he is "in a great place" as he prepares to lead a strong Ineos Grenadiers team at May's Giro d'Italia.
Former Tour de France winner Thomas, 37, is targeting both Grand Tours in 2024, having been runner-up in Italy 12 months ago. Ineos also include top 10 Giro finishers Thymen Arensman and Tobias Foss in their squad for this year's race which starts in Turin on Saturday, 4 May. "We have a strong line-up and there is a good bond with this group," said Thomas. "The core is the same as last year’s Giro team, with some great additions for this year. "We have spent a lot of time together at training camp - we know what we need to do and are all feeling super-motivated to get the job done and deliver." |
