A S̶u̶n̶d̶a̶y̶ Weekend In Hell! Colbrelli & Deignan Conquer Paris Roubaix | GCN Racing News Show

Clock00:00, Monday 4th October 2021

After two and a half years without a men’s race and 125(!) years without a women’s, the Hell of the North finally returned this weekend and it did not disappoint. Rain and mud before and during both races meant there were brutal conditions for the first ever edition of the women’s race, with Lizzie Deignan holding out against a chasing Marianne Vos to take the title. Conditions for the men’s race were arguably even worse, with Mathieu van der Poel, Sonny Colbrelli and Florian Vermeersch coming to the velodrome as a trio of debutants, with Colbrelli taking the sprint. An epic weekend of bike racing all around.

A Successful LIDL Trek Around Flanders | GCN Racing News Show

Lidl-Trek are on a roll. Mads Pederson pushed the world champion and recent E3 winner, Mathieu van der Poel, to his limits at Gent Wevelgem, getting the better of him with a final power surge to the line. Elisa Balsamo mirrored these efforts, having out-sprinting Lotte Kopecky at Trofeo Alfredo Binda, she then went on to win Brugge-De Panne. Is there more Lidl-Trek dominance to come?

Dan unpicks the race, revealing team tactics and the final sprint analysis. In other news, Elisa Balsamo battled the world champ, Lotte Kopecky, in a sprint finish to win Trofeo Alfredo Binda and the Tour de Normandie Féminin has its winner.
