Across Flanders, assolo di Van Baarle. Viviani cade e si ritira

The Dutch you don’t expect. Ineos Grenadiers’ 28-year-old Dylan Van Baarle won the Dwaars Door Vlaanderen, 184km from Roeselare to Waregem, with a 52km solitary winning escape. For Van Baarle this is the fifth success as a professional. Bettiol did not leave (fever), while Elia Viviani was forced to retire due to a fall (about 60 km from the end), who went to Renaix hospital for checks. Behind Van Baarle, about thirty seconds, was the French Laporte who set the first pursuers. The world champion Alaphilippe and Van der Poel made their leg ahead of Flanders on Sunday. No Italians in the top 10.

Success (122 km with start and finish in Waregem) of the Dutch Annemiek Van Vleuten, who beat the Polish Katarzyna Niewiadoma in a two sprint, with our Vittoria Guazzini who finished in fourth place. Van Vleuten gave the first success of the season to the women’s section of Movistar (the men’s team is still dry).
