Tom Pidcock (Ineos) gewann das Amstel Gold Race 2024 im 4er-Sprint.
Der Brite wehrte die aufkommenden Marc Hirschi (UAE) und Tiesj Benoot (Visma) erfolgreich ab. Mauri Vansevenant (Soudal), der den Sprint eröffnet hatte, schloss auf dem 4. Platz ab. Die nächsten Verfolger führte nur knapp dahinter Paul Lapeira (Decathlon) ins Ziel. Die Vorentscheidung fiel zwischen 35 und 29 Kilometer vorm Ziel, als sich 12 Fahrer entscheidend absetzten. Das Quartett um den Sieg bildete sich dann gut 13 Kilometer vor Schluss am vorletzten Anstieg, dem Geulhemmerberg.

Für Pidcock war es der heiß ersehnte Sieg beim Amstel Gold Race, bei dem er schon auf dem beiden anderen Stufen des Podests stand – 2021 nach umstrittenen Foto-Finish. Insgesamt war es für Pidock erst der 5. Profisieg auf der Straße. Top-Favorit Mathieu van der Poel (Alpecin) verpasste bei seinem Heimrennen den Sprung in die entscheidende Gruppe und konnte am Ende auch kein Feuerwerk mehr abbrennen wie bei seinem Sieg hier 5 Jahre zuvor. Nach den Triumphen in Flandern und Roubaix an den beiden Wochenenden zuvor war der Rückstand zur Spitze auch in der Schlussphase etwas zu weit, auch für einen van der Poel in Top-Form, in der er sich anscheinend nicht mehr befand.

Vorjahressieger Tadej Pogacar (UAE) verzichtete aufgrund seiner Ambitionen beim Giro d’Italia, wäre aber beinah von Hirschi als Nachfolger vertreten worden. Von den weiteren beiden Siegern der letzten Jahre stellte sich Kwiatkowski in Vorbereitung des Angriffs in den Dienst seines Teamkollegen Pidock. Und van Aert, dem Pidcock 3 Jahre zuvor um Haaresbreite unterlag, ist mit gebrochenen Knochen außer Gefecht.

Bei heiter bis wolkigem Wetter und knapp unter Raumtemperatur ging das Amstel Gold Race 2024 über die Bühne. Das frühe Ausreißerquartett – darin van der Sande (Visma), Leijnse (DSM), Hajek (Bora) und Kyffin (TDT) – war schon 74 Kilometer vorm Ziel Geschichte. Einige Kilometer später bildete sich ein neues Spitzentrio aus Honoré (EF), Vervaeke (Soudal) und Lapeira. Diese Trio führte das Rennen knapp an, bis Hirschi rund 35 Kilometer vorm Ziel am unvermeidlichen Eyserbosweg die Vorentscheidung einleitete.

Während Honoré und Lapeira noch vorn verblieben, wurde Vervaeke gestellt. Roger Adria (Bora), Valentin Madouas (Groupama) und Bauke Mollema (Lidl) stiegen Hirschi hinterher. Über die nächsten beiden Anstiege hinweg, Fromberg und Keutenberg, schafften in verschiedenen Gruppen noch Vansevenant, Quentin Pacher (Groupama), Kévin Vauquelin (Arkéa), Pidcock, Benoot und Bilbao den Anschluss – auch an das Spitzenduo mit Lapeira und Honoré.

So fuhr das Dutzend an der Spitze – Pidcock, Hirschi, Benoot, Vansevenant, Lapeira, Mollema, Bilbao, Honoré, Adria, Vauquélin sowie die Teamkollegen Madouas und Pacher – dem Cauberg entgegen, der innerhalb der finalen 19 Kilometer als drittletzter Anstieg wartete. Angesichts der Zusammensetzung an der Spitzengruppe und 45 Sekunden Vorsprung roch es hier schon danach, dass der Sieger aus dieser Gruppe kommen würde. Hirschi knallte in den Cauberg rein. Honoré konnte dieses Tempo nicht mehr mitgehen.

Im Hauptfeld gab es letzte verzweifelte Versuche beispielsweise durch Skjelmose (Lidl) und Matthews (Jayco) – letztlich ohne Effekt. Bei der letzten Zieldurchfahrt 16 Kilometer vor Schluss betrug der Abstand von der Spitze zum ersten Verfolgerfeld um Matthews und van der Poel 32 Sekunden. Vorne löste sich in der nachfolgenden Abfahrt Bilbao. Pidcock und Hirschi schlossen im Geulhemmerberg auf. Dann wuchtete sich auch Vansevenant vor. Mollema führte zunächst den Rest zurück an die Spitze.

Dann attackierte aber kurz vor der Kuppe Hirschi erneut und führte die finale Auslese mit Benoot, Pidcock und Vansevenant herbei. Solo-Versuche durch Bilbao und dann Lapeira, die entstandene Lücke noch zu schließen, scheiterten in der Folgezeit ebenso wie eine organisierte Nachführarbeit.

Im Bemelerberg, dem letzten Anstieg, attackierte Pidcock. Hirschi und Benoot stopften das Loch gemeinsam recht schnell. Vansevenant brauchte dafür etwa 1,5 Kilometer, bis er gut 4 vorm Ziel auch wieder dran war. Auf dem Schlusskilometer begann vorne die Taktiererei, wodurch die inzwischen dezimierte Verfolgergruppe, angeführt von Pacher für Madouas, noch einmal deutlich näher kam.

Da eröffnete Vansevenant extrem früh den Sprint. Benoot ging aus letzter Position rechts, Pidcock aus 2. Postion links an ihm vorbei. Hirschi blieb zunächst hinter Pidcock, der zur Bande fuhr, dann wieder Richtung Mitte. Durch den sich öffnenden Spalt stach Hirschi und kam noch auf ein Vorderrad an Pidcock heran. Benoot fehlte eine Radlänge zum Sieg. Später bei der Siegerehrung schlugen Hirschi und Benoot zurück, als sie das überreichte Bierglas in einem Zug leerten, während Pidcock nur daran nippte.

Von den ehemaligen Begleitern der Top-4 kamen noch Lapeira, Madouas, Mollema, Pacher und Bilbao vor dem Hauptfeld ins Ziel. Matthews sprintete so in die Top-Ten vor Marijn van den Berg (EF) und Romain Grégoire (Groupama). Adria landete auf dem 14. Platz. Vauquélin wurde noch auf den 41. Platz durchgereicht. Van der Poel begnügte sich mit dem 22. Platz.

Tobias Foss signs with the INEOS Grenadiers

Teamnews, ,

The INEOS Grenadiers are delighted to announce that Tobias Foss, the former World Time Trial champion, will join the team from 1 January, 2024.

The 26-year-old Norwegian from Lillehammer, who turned professional in 2020, has signed a three-year contract until the end of 2026.

In 2022, Foss scored the biggest result of his career capturing the World Time Trial title in Wollongong, Australia. His palmares also includes an impressive victory at the Tour de l’Avenir in 2019, as well as twice being crowned Norwegian time trial champion as well as road race champion in 2021.

In celebrating the news of his move, Foss said:
“When I was 14 years old and started cycling, Edvald Boasson Hagen and Team Sky became my idols and my favourite team. After that Chris, Bradley and Geraint inspired me as I dreamt of the Tour de France. All of this made the INEOS Grenadiers my dream team so this was a big factor in me signing, together with my belief that this team can help me further my career.”

“I know some of the guys on the team a bit from before, and my impression is that it is a great group of people within the team. So, I am looking forward to meeting everyone and creating good memories on the bike together. I would like to have a season where I can be consistent with the best. I don’t have any specific goals, but I want to take my chance, contribute to the team getting good results and go for a medal at the Olympics,” he said.

Foss has ridden at the highest level for four seasons and established himself as one of the biggest talents in the pro peloton.
Foss will join a team boasting significant experience in the likes of Tour de France champions Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal alongside some of the sport’s most exciting young talents.

“I really think there are some proper role models within this team. I am extremely excited to race with these guys and grow in my own experience. The future of the INEOS Grenadiers is very exciting; we have good mentors that we can learn from, so that we, the young riders, can maintain the culture and make this team greater every year.

“I still can’t believe that this is happening, it’s funny as I was the biggest ‘fanboy’ ever of this team and now I am actually in the team!”

John Allert, Managing Director, INEOS Grenadiers said: “Tobias is an exciting and established talent and someone who we believe will reach his full potential with our team. He has clear ambitions for 2024 including the Paris Olympics and the team are looking forward to supporting him in what could be a big year ahead. We’re very pleased to welcome him and wish him every success as a Grenadier.

Steve Cummings, Sport Director, said:
“Tobias is renowned for his time trialling ability, but with what he’s achieved in the past he has also shown he can really climb too. He’s achieved a range of very good results and we fully believe he has the versatility to play a key part in a GC team. We’re all looking forward to working with him and our current group of riders, who are all as motivated and hungry for success as he is in 2024 and beyond.”

Geraint Thomas extends with the INEOS Grenadiers

Geraint Thomas, the popular 2018 Tour de France champion and senior INEOS Grenadier, has agreed a two-year contract extension with the team, to the end of the 2025 season.

The new deal will see Thomas’ time at the team span an incredible 16 years, cementing his status as one of cycling’s most respected riders and an icon of British sport.

Thomas impressed earlier this year in Italy where, despite a disrupted build-up due to injury, he narrowly missed a maiden victory at the Giro d’Italia. He also led the Grenadiers at La Vuelta in September where he suffered several early crashes but still fought all the way to Madrid to complete his second Grand Tour of 2023.

“I am really delighted to extend my time as an INEOS Grenadier. I still just love riding my bike – racing and training with the boys – every single aspect of it,” Thomas said.
“Although you ‘never say never’, in my head this is my last contract – but I know that I still have two more big years in me. And I wouldn’t have continued in a different team.

“This team understands me and, importantly, knows what it takes to achieve success. I have childhood mates here – Luke and Swifty as riders and Stannard now in management, and I’ve known Rod since 2003. This really does feel like home.
“We’re an ambitious group and have some big goals ahead. I’m really looking forward to getting stuck in again and want to help the team continue to progress.”

Thomas, who has finished on every step of the podium at the Tour de France, is one of the most experienced riders in the professional peloton. During the course of his career, he has demonstrated his incredible versatility and is a key leader in the Grenadiers.

“I want to continue to be highly competitive in anything really; maybe look at going to the Classics again or ride GC in Grand Tours or help whoever is going to be the next guy coming through, but I just want to have a positive impact on the team.

“I’m at that stage where I’m still hungry to perform but at the same time, I am happy to help the team. I want to try and help us push forward to get back to the very top of the sport.”

The Welshman’s hugely impressive road-racing palmares includes victories at Paris-Nice, Criterium du Dauphine, Tour de Suisse, E3 Harelbeke, Volta ao Algarve em Bicicleta, Bayern-Rundfahrt and Commonwealth Games gold.
He is also a double Olympic champion on the track, having won gold medals at the Beijing and London Games.

“The support throughout my career has been amazing, not only from the fans back home but also from America, Australia and all over Europe. That atmosphere on the road is incredible, it’s a huge part of why I love the sport.
“It’s just been an amazing career so far and hopefully it can continue in that way,” said Thomas.

Rod Ellingworth, Deputy Team Principal, said: “We’re thrilled that Geraint’s decided to ride on for another two years as a Grenadier. ‘G’ is such an integral part of our team’s set-up and rider culture. Not only has he won some of the biggest races in the world, but he’s also shown he’s a true champion off the bike, through the crucial role he plays across the wider team and with the younger riders.

“We know that his ambition is to race with the best and we saw this year just how close he came at the Giro d’Italia. He then had some bad luck at La Vuelta which ruled him out of the running but nevertheless fought through to finish with true grit and determination. It was classic G and was still inspiring to watch.

“The team’s ambition is to again stand on the top step of the Tour de France podium and Geraint is going to play an integral part in realising that goal as we bring through a crop of young and exciting talent at the INEOS Grenadiers.”

Ganna and Kuss resist Evenepoel

The individual time trial of La Vuelta 23 saw Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) power to his first ever victory in Spain as he got the best of the world champion Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) in Valladolid. The Italian star covered the 25.8km at an average of 56.0km/h, setting a time of 27’39’’. Evenepoel came 2nd (+16’’) and was the fastest of the GC contenders, 20 seconds ahead of Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma), while Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) lost a minute to the Belgian defending winner of La Vuelta. Riding with La Roja, Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma) set the 13th best time and only lost 17’’ to Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates), his first chaser in the overall standings. Evenepoel moves up to the third position, with a gap of 1’09’’ to the American leader.

After the rest day, La Vuelta 23 returns to action with a key time trial (25.8km) to kick-off the second week of racing in Valladolid, a classic of the Spanish Grand Tour since it hosted the very first stage finish in 1935. Callum Scotson (Jayco AlUla) is the first rider to go, at 14:01, and Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma) will be the last rider off the ramp, at 17:02, with La Roja on his shoulders.

Bissegger can’t resist Ganna
Clément Davy (Groupama-FDJ) sets the first reference of interest, with a time of 30’55’’. But the Frenchman can’t resist the European champion Stefan Bissegger (EF Education-EasyPost), faster at every intermediate point (km 12.5 and 19.5), who eventually clocks a time of 28’58’’. The Swiss rider impressed, but he confesses he “didn’t have the best day”.
Filippo Ganna (Ineos Grenadiers) starts his effort 44 minutes after Bissegger. And he quickly shows he’s off to a flying performance. A 2-time ITT World Champion (2020, 21), holder of the hour record and current national ITT champion, the Italian star leads by 33’’ at the first intermediate point, 52’’ at the second, and 1’18’’ on the line. He averaged 56.0km/h over the 25.8km!

Evenepoel accelerates, Kuss holds on

The GC battle gets going with a strong performance from Aleksandr Vlasov (Bora-Hansgrohe), the first rider to finish less than a minute behind Ganna (+52’’). Joao Almeida (UAE Team Emirates) finishes just ahead of Vlasov (+50’’) but Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma) is not as fast. The Danish winner of the Tour de France concedes 1’18’’.
Primoz Roglic (Jumbo-Visma) and Remco Evenepoel (Soudal Quick-Step) trade seconds until the Belgian sets the 2nd best time on the line (+16’’), 20 seconds head of his Slovenian rival. Sepp Kuss (Jumbo-Visma) takes the 13th best time and only loses 17’’ to Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates). The American climber still leads the overall standings ahead of another GC battle on Wednesday.
