Movistar Team leader Annemiek van Vleuten has sustained a broken right wrist after a training crash on Thursday. She successfully underwent surgery last night at the Rijnstate Hospital in Arnhem. While no timeline has been set on Van Vleuten’s recovery, the doctors’ assessment on her fractures after surgery confirms a full recovery is to be expected. Annemiek’s approach to the Grand Tours in July (Giro d’Italia Donne & Tour de France Femmes) will not be compromised by the injury, either. No plans have been established on Van Vleuten’s return to racing. The Spanish races the Olympic champion was going to…

Liège-Bastogne-Liège is one of the races I dreamed about winning and to do this at…
Highlights Report With triumph, pride and exertion etched across his face, Bahrain Victorious’ 30 year old Belgian, Dylan Teuns, spread his arms wide and crossed the line of La Flèche Wallone several bike lengths ahead of the undisputed King of the Mur de Huy, Alejandro Valverde (MOV) & Aleksandr Vlasov (BOH). “It’s unbelievable. It’s a dream that comes true to win today on the Mur in front of my fans, wife and family. It’s a super special one.

Highlights Report Dylan van Baarle put in the performance of his career to win Paris-Roubaix for the INEOS Grenadiers. The Dutchman made his winning move with 19 kilometres to go, driving clear of his fellow attackers and opening out a gap. That meant he was able to savour the atmosphere inside the famous Roubaix Velodrome – finishing solo by a commanding margin of one minute and 47 seconds. The team rode a superb and committed race, taking on the Queen of the Classics from early on and even helping to split the race in the early crosswinds. A show of…

Along the way, Kostman, through his company Adventure Corps, developed other cycling and running events.…
