2022 Gent Wevelgem Results He did it! The young Eritrean, Biniam Girmay, took his first WT victory in epic fashion in the Gent Wevelgem! In the preview I asked why couldn’t his first WT win be Sunday? The answer? It could and it was! Honestly, I didn’t think he’d do it due to a combination…
After another dominating performance from the best classics’ team of 2022 so far in the E3 classic, all eyes turn to the iconic Gent Wevelgem, tomorrow. A classic race that’s in between the status of WT race and Monument, the Gent Wevelgem is traditionally a hard race to predict. Sometimes for bunch sprints, sometimes for…
With the spring classics in full swing, it’s now time to look to Belgium, specifically to the 2022 E3 Harelbeke taking place tomorrow before the Gent Wevelgem on Sunday.

2022 Tirreno Adriatico Results If in the Paris Nice Simon Yates showed he was closer to Primoz Roglic than to the rest of the field, here, as predicted, there was absolutely nobody in the same stratosphere as Tadej Pogacar. The man just won a week-long race by almost 2 minutes. Without a summit finish longer…
