Start times individual time trial Renewi Tour 2024 – Can Mathieu van der Poel limit the damage?

In the Renewi Tour (and its predecessors) there is an almost annual battle against the clock, so it should come as no surprise that the organization has scheduled a 15.4 kilometer time trial on day two. Who will do well for the classification? CyclingFlash List the most important starting times.

The starting podium is set up on the Schoterweg and then it goes in a south-westerly direction – via Vlugt – to the Rodenberg. There the riders take a sharp bend to the right, to then race via the Sparrenweg to Schoot. This is a hamlet and parish west of Tessenderlo. Here we also get an indication of who is doing well and who is not on their time trial bike: after 9.3 kilometers the second measuring point follows.

Once past this intermediate point, it is another six kilometres to the finish. Via the Schoterweg and Wetsberg, it goes at a fast trot – and mainly straight roads – to the last kilometres in Tessenderlo. In the final kilometre, there are two more sharp bends before the riders clock a finishing time in the Stationsstraat, where the finish line of this time trial is located.

Conclusion? It is a relatively flat and fast time trial, although there are some elevation changes and (sharp) bends along the way, which take the speed out of it more than once.

The riders start every minute, with the exception of the riders in the provisional top 10. They leave every two minutes. Alex Edmondson will be the first rider to roll off the starting podium at 12:30. Yesterday’s stage winner, Jonathan Milan, will be the last to go. The leader of the general classification will leave at 15:15.

Mathieu van der Poel was good, but did not win a medal in Paris: “Difficult race”

No Olympic gold for Mathieu van der Poel. The Dutchman started as one of the top favorites in the road race, but in Paris he came up against a strong block of Belgians and especially a magnificent Remco Evenepoel. “It was a difficult race,” he said afterwards at the NOS.

“When Remco left and no one responded, I knew immediately that it was going to be very difficult,” said MVDPwho had just put in a blistering acceleration himself. “I didn’t necessarily go deep into the red there. That wasn’t too bad. I actually thought the race was over there. We rode away with four or five men, all strong riders. We also had a nice gap, so I thought the race would be between us. But when we were caught again, Remco went at the right moment.”

“I had already said beforehand that he was one of the dangerous riders to let ride. Dylan (van Baarle, ed.) did well by keeping the gap as small as possible. I myself did all or nothing one more time for Montmartre. I got Wout (van Aert, ed.) with me and of course he didn’t ride, because Remco was in front. That’s the race situation.”

Van der Poel’s disappointment ‘is not too bad’, he says. “I think I was good, but it was just a very difficult race,” said the world champion, who eventually crossed the line in twelfth place.

Video A time trial by no means lies. The worth ratios in the intervening time within the Tour de France are clear. World time trial champion Remco Evenepoel took his coveted stage win, however solely simply saved Tadej Pogačar behind him. The deficit of Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard was vital, however surprisingly sufficient virtually everybody can stay with that. All about that in a brand new WielerFlits Replace!

It was written within the stars that Evenepoel would win this time trial. However as a 24-year-old debutant, that is fairly a problem. The Belgian did it anyway and has been giving a peaceful impression all through the Tour, as if he has already received the Tour de France 5 instances. He’s secretly beginning to hope that he can attain the ultimate podium, however realises that there’s nonetheless a protracted option to go. Visma | Lease a Bike are additionally relieved. This lack of time was additionally calculated and, to be sincere, they had been even shocked. And at UAE Emirates there have been additionally joyful faces. They solely misplaced somewhat time to specialist Evenepoel, however constructed up the lead over the remaining.

Saturday is a difficult stage. With some 2400 meters of elevation and a variety of groups which have one thing to show, it guarantees to be a struggle. Youri thinks that it will likely be powerful within the first two hours of the race and advises the followers to get in early. With sturdy riders like Matej Mohorič, Alberto Bettiol, Paul Lapeira, Magnus Cort, Maxim Van Gils and world champion Mathieu van der Poel, a really sturdy main group may emerge that may make it to the tip. And if the massive weapons do handle to maintain their powder dry for the gravel trip on Sunday, we count on a pleasant energy dash. Pay attention rapidly to the WielerFlits Replace!

Mathieu van der Poel returns to Amstel Gold Race with confidence: “Will never forget victory in 2019”

After his impressive victories in recent weeks, Mathieu van der Poel is the top favorite for the Amstel Gold Race. He already won the hill classic in Limburg in 2019 and in his second participation, in 2022, he was fourth. “Of course I enjoy returning to the Amstel,” says MVDP in a press release from Alpecin-Deceuninck.

The new edition of RIDE Magazine is now available! Our new 188-page spring edition is full of wonderful cycling stories about Mathieu van der Poel, Lotte Kopecky, Demi Vollering, Sepp Kuss and Matej Mohoric. Insure your copy and order it online now for only €9.95. Would you like to receive RIDE extra cheaply? Then take out a subscription now and receive a 20% discount!

“My victory in 2019 in particular is one that I will never forget,” said Van der Poel. “The spectacular finish still appeals to the imagination, besides being my first major victory on the road. Those are memories that you cherish. The fact that I finished fourth in 2022 shows that I like the race in the hills of Dutch Limburg. It is a kind of mini Tour of Flanders, with many bends and steep slopes, but without cobblestones.”

Van der Poel already won the E3 Saxo Classic, Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix this spring. “Everything has gone exceptionally well in recent weeks,” he says. “It’s great to win these monuments, especially in the rainbow jersey. Now it is important to stretch on that top form for another ten days. That will be necessary, because both in the Amstel and next Sunday in Liège-Bastogne-Liège have a field of participants with other, perhaps fresher riders. And riders who climb better than me.”

Relying on your own strength
Who does Van der Poel consider as his main competitors on Sunday? “As you know, I am not concerned with that. I haven’t looked at the start list yet. It sounds cliché, but I mainly rely on my own strength and that of the team. We have proven in recent weeks that as a team we can take control when necessary. I will also be well surrounded on Sunday, with guys who have all proven that they are in good shape. In addition, we are in the right flow. Yes, I think we can travel to Maastricht with confidence.”

Mathieu van der Poel Makes History with Second Consecutive Paris-Roubaix Victory

Mathieu van der Poel has won Paris-Roubaix for the second time in a row in grand style. A week after his victory in the Tour of Flanders, Alpecin-Deceuninck opened the race early, after which MVDP opted for a solo with 60 kilometers from the finish, which he completed with force majeure. This way, the Dutch world champion could cheer in his rainbow jersey on the Roubaix velodrome. Jasper Philipsen sprinted far behind to second place, Mads Pedersen finished third.

The new edition of RIDE Magazine is now available! Our new 188-page spring edition is full of wonderful cycling stories about Mathieu van der Poel, Lotte Kopecky, Demi Vollering, Sepp Kuss and Matej Mohoric. Insure your copy and order it online now for only €9.95. Would you like to receive RIDE extra cheaply? Then take out a subscription now and receive a 20% discount!

The program included the 121st edition of Paris-Roubaix, with no fewer than 29 cobblestone sections within 259.7 kilometers, accounting for 57.5 kilometers of stones. Most of the kilometers on cobblestones were in the last 200 kilometers, with the much-discussed Forest of Wallers (another 95 km), Mons-en-Pévèle (another 48 km) and Carrefour de l’Arbre (another 17 km) as 5-star strips.

Nine escapees during the fast first hour
The first hour of racing was completed at an unprecedentedly high pace, namely more than 54 km/h. The strong wind, which was mainly at an angle to the back, and the interest in a place in the early flight ensured those speeds. In that first hour, a leading group of seven men broke away, including Per Strand Hagenes (Visma | Lease a Bike), Rasmus Tiller (Uno-X Mobility), Kasper Asgreen (Soudal Quick-Step), Liam Slock (Lotto Dstny), Marco Haller (BORA-hansgrohe), Gleb Syritsa (Astana Qazaqstan) and Kamil Malecki (Q36.5).

They did not get much of a lead, allowing Dries De Bondt (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) and Dusan Rajovic (Bahrain Victorious) to make the jump. However, the peloton, mainly led by Alpecin-Deceuninck, did not give them much space. Even before the Forest of Wallers, the early breakaway was already captured by an elite group that was left after the first cobblestone sections.

Alpecin-Deceuninck separates the peloton
Mathieu van der Poel and Jasper Philipsen and their teammates rode very attentively over the first sectors. Alpecin-Deceuninck even pulled fans, which completely separated the peloton. Some were able to return afterwards, but the majority of the riders had already been beaten about 150 kilometers from the finish. Not at the front: Dylan van Baarle (did not start due to illness), Christophe Laporte (early puncture), Jonathan Milan (retirement after fall) and Laurenz Rex (retirement after two falls).

Joshua Tarling also had to leave the race, but he due to a very noticeable sticky bottle that led to a justified disqualification. The Briton had to let go of the thinned out peloton, which included almost all the favorites. Then we had to wait for the Forest of Wallers, the first 5-star section of the day, and the much-discussed chicane. The elite group got through this well, after which Mads Pedersen was the first to start the Bos.

Van der Poel in the lead through Bos van Wallers, flat tires Philipsen and Pedersen
On the terrible cobblestones, Van der Poel accelerated with Pedersen, Philipsen and the surprisingly strong Mick van Dijke in the wheel. They left the Bos with a lead, but it turned out that Philipsen had a leak. The pace slowed down a bit, allowing a group (with Stefan Küng, Laurence Pithie, Tom Pidcock, Nils Politt, Tim Wellens, Stefan Bissegger, Johan Jacobs, Jordi Meeus and Gianni Vermeersch) to return.

Philipsen was also able to return between the cars after a quick bike change, and at that exact moment flat tires rained. Pedersen, Meeus and Wellens all had to get off their bikes, but were able to return quickly. Three riders took advantage of the chaos: Politt, Küng and Vermeersch rode away, after which their teammates paralyzed the chase. They were able to drive away for 40 seconds, which led to Lidl-Trek starting the Van der Poel group.

World champion chooses solo of 59 kilometers
With 70 kilometers to go, the three escapees were again caught by Pedersen’s executioner, after which a new situation began. On the 3-star strip of Orchies, Van der Poel again chose the attack, which immediately gave him a big lead. No one could follow the world champion 59 kilometers from the finish. The chase also got off to a difficult start, because Philipsen and especially Vermeersch were doing blocking work.

In this way, Van der Poel was able to pull away within ten kilometers in more than a minute (!), while the competition had to pull the chestnuts out of the fire with the MVDP teammates on the luggage carrier. Because there was a bit of a standstill at the back at Mons-en-Pévèle, the world champion was able to move further ahead. A new solo victory, a week after the Tour of Flanders, was thus imminent.

The battle for the other podium places continued at Mons-en-Pévèle. Pedersen, Küng, Pithie (who literally fell away a little later), Politt and Philipsen broke away from the rest, but that was more than 1.40 minutes after the soloing Van der Poel, who steamed unperturbed over the northern French cobblestones and ended up more than two minutes.

Historic victory for Van der Poel
In a dusty edition of the Hell classic, the rainbow shone like never before. And this in the knowledge that Mathieu van der Poel joined lists including Fabian Cancellara, Tom Boonen, Roger De Vlaeminck (the double Ronde-Roubaix in one season), Eddy Merckx, Bernard Hinault, Peter Sagan (winning Roubaix as world champion ), Maurice Garin and Rik Van Looy (following yourself in Roubaix). And that in the fastest edition of Paris-Roubaix ever.

That nothing could stop Van der Poel was evident from the time difference with the group with Pedersen and Philipsen. At 20 kilometers from the finish the gap was already almost three minutes. Just before Carrefour de l’Arbre, Vermeersch and Pithie almost came back to the Philips and co, but the strong Flemish and the New Zealander stalled at about twenty seconds and then fell silent.

On Gruson’s strip, Philipsen showed his strong legs, with which he finally released Küng. Pedersen and Politt were pushed to the limit, but were able to compete and prepare for a sprint for the podium places. The German was the first to sprint, but it was not entirely surprising that Philipsen claimed second place, just ahead of Pedersen. Küng finished fifth, a very strong Vermeersch sixth and Pithie seventh.

Fabian Cancellara welcomes Mathieu van der Poel to the elite club

Fabian Cancellara welcomes Mathieu van der Poel to the elite club

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com April 2, 2024
written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

• Tuesday 2 April 2024 at 07:53

Interview With his third victory in the Tour of Flanders, Mathieu van der Poel placed himself in the illustrious list of record holders. Achiel Buysse, Fiorenzo Magni, Eric Leman, Johan Museeuw, Tom Boonen and Fabian Cancellara preceded him. “I can also see Mathieu De Ronde winning a fourth and/or fifth time,” Cancellara said after the finish in Oudenaarde.

As manager of Tudor Pro Cycling, Fabian Cancellara followed the Tour of Flanders closely. Until Easter Sunday 2024, Helveet was the last rider to join the illustrious company of riders who won ‘Flanders Most Beautiful’ three times. In 2010, 2013 and 2014 Cancellara was the best.

“Mathieu is number seven at our club,” says Cancellara with a broad smile. “And seven is my lucky number. I think he will become the record holder and will be successful again in the coming years. He is still quite young. Mathieu is a super driver. The class radiates from it. The way he managed to win De Ronde this year was also great. He was without a doubt the strongest rider in the race. But how his team worked for him was also great.”

Cancellara has full praise for the way in which 29-year-old Van der Poel defeated everyone on the Koppenberg and then soloed to victory for 45 kilometers in the pouring rain. “A more than deserved victory. Although I found it interesting how some rivals competed. Mads Pedersen opened the race about a hundred kilometers before the finish. I wondered: if someone goes on the attack so early, what does he want to achieve with it?”

“If you saw Mathieu’s condition and strength in recent weeks, it was a matter of time before he really started putting power on his pedals. And that happened. Some teams have made the game, I don’t want to say easier, for him, but they have played into his hands. After Mathieu’s attack, the race had gone quickly and only the battle for second place was actually interesting. Although I must say that this was a very tough edition of the Tour of Flanders.”

While everyone is currently full of praise for this generation that dares to race far to the finish, Cancellara was a champion who regularly attacked for the ultimate finale. “Yes that’s right. This is nothing new to me. When I went on the attack, people often said that it was incomprehensible that I opened the match so early. However, there are tactics, good legs and a certain motivation that bring you to such a way of fighting.”

Cancellara points out that you should also look at your specialty as a cyclist. Some riders have a strong ‘punch’ in their legs, while others rely on their endurance. “If you have that stamina and confidence, you can attack early. This allows you to crack your rivals mentally. And then you have to see it as a time trial. Then of course I had the advantage of being a time trialist. So for me, such a long attack was more or less normal.”

“Now when I see that the top riders sometimes go a hundred kilometers from the finish, like Tadej Pogacar in the Strade Bianche. That is something different than in my time. But when I look back on it, this course has great similarities with how I tackled some races.”

His team Tudor Pro Cycling made its debut last Sunday in the Tour of Flanders. The fairly new Swiss team is present in the peloton for the second consecutive year. With Matteo Trentin it achieved 19th place in Oudenaarde.

“I think we can be satisfied with this debut in Flanders. Our ambition was a top ten ranking. On the other hand, the team performed its tasks well. They raced in a way that was our plan. That also counts, because as a team we are still in a growth process. We have to take one step at a time and this was another necessary step. I am pleased with how we are currently developing.”

Cancellara’s team surprisingly did not receive a wild card for Paris-Roubaix. That is why the team is now focusing on the Scheldeprijs with Arvid de Kleijn and then the sights are set on the Brabantse Pijl and Amstel Gold Race.
