Alec Segaert emphatically wins Renewi Tour 2024 stage 2 ITT and moves into race lead
CyclingThursday, 29 August 2024 at 15:32
Lotto Dstny's Alec Segaert has taken a big win on stage 2 of the 2024 Renewi Tour, winning the individual time trial in Tessenderlo, moving into the overall race lead as a result.
After a day for the sprinters yesterday, stage 2 saw the time trial specialists get their chance to shine. Among the quicker early times were the likes of Ryan Mullen and Josef Cerny. The first rider to set a potentially stage winning time however, came in the form of Stefan Bissegger with his effort of 17:09.
The Swiss had already spent some considerable time in the hotseat, when former world champion Tobias Foss gave him a big scare, but ultimately crossed the line .8 of a second slower. Bissegger's time wasn't good enough for the stage win however, as Lotto Dstny's Alec Segaert went more than 10 seconds quicker with his effort, a blistering time to say the least.
Mathieu van der Poel clocked the provisional 9th fastest time, Magnus Sheffield missed out on Segaert's time by just 7 seconds, whilst Tim Wellens clocked a time 16 seconds slower than his young compatriot.

- I'm wondering if he's quitting because Visma wouldn't make him their #1 at this year's Giro, which he believed suited him well. As defending champ he deserved his team's backing. After all, he's done a lot for Vingo.velodan07-01-2026

- Talented, elegant rider. Enjoy your life, Simon! all the best.
maria2024202407-01-2026 - Always came across as a great human being, his interviews typically had him with this private smile, friendly but also amused at the whole situation, and his ability as a rider let us see him pretty often in those interviews. Two grand tours, a spectacular letdown in a third, and solid riding throughout his career. I've enjoyed watching him throughout his career, and wish him the best with what comes next. Also, what, only one Yates in the peloton? How can that be?!RidesHills07-01-2026
- The oldest racket on Earth (in buisness) is convincing you that your cycling life( fill in a thousand other things) will approach pro level if you you buy their 15 pound titanium carbon rocket ship.The amount of fat ass 50 and 60 somethings riding these things is exactly the same as the old fart in a Ferrari trying to stave off father time with wads of cash.Good for Gaimon speaking about this weenie weight psychosis deliberately foistered on the consumer. Good for State as well.
