D'lavenir stg 3 is on Disco+ today, 2.00 to 4.00

Carl-Frederik Bévort, who is apparently the right kind of Viking, took stage 3 from the break. Bévort, a 2nd year pro with Uno-x, dropped his companions with 28km to go and rode solo to the finish holding off a charging peloton in impressive style. He finished 12 seconds ahead of Noah Hobbs who beat Seth Dunwoody in the consolation sprint. The young Englishman retakes the green jersey from his compatriot, Elliot Rowe. No change at the top of the GC standings.

In a WT race, today's stage is a guaranteed bunch sprint but at U23 level things tend to not be quite so straightforward.

I see what you're saying here: for more exciting racing, ban trade teams!

Also the Muur Classic Geraardsbergen from 2-30pm for those who don’t fancy a pan flat TTT.

Only a 1.1, but Uno-X are in it and Cofidis aren't, and they look like they've sent a decent team.

Pidcock the Younger rides for Q36.5 here

I wonder if he only got the Q36.5 gig because of big brother demands?
Much like Sagan's brother followed him around. And Viviani's?
Or am I being unfair!

I think when younger brothers are hired by the team that employs their superstar big bro it's highly likely there's at least a small amount of wangling going on

You mean like how Arthur Lowe wangled it for his wife to get the part of Godfrey's sister Dolly?

 

[Archie from BR]

Well the Hobbs brothers are both doing there own thing.
Noah Hobbs is with EF Eduation while young brother Henry has just signed with Visma LaB Dev for next season

That was a fairly tangential reference, and tbh, having Googled it, I have no idea what shenanigans Cpt Mainwaring got up to in order to secure the role.

Muur Classic Geraardsbergen - 2km to go - Abrahamsen off solo, Uno-X all over the front of the much reduced peloton/group 1 marking any attacks and getting in the way

Abrahamsen takes the win solo on a bike with a gold/black paint job that looks like a Duracell, which is quite appropriate for one of the most "Duracell Bunny" riders in the peloton.

He’s cleaning up these Northern .1ers.

Yep. If it carries on like this we're going to have to invade Norway to turn him into the right sort of Viking
