Dwars door Vlaanderen sees both men's and women's races today and the latter has seen a sprint finish decide the race's result, as Italian Chiara Consonni took her first win of the season, also the first of Valcar - Travel & Service.
The 120-kilometer long race saw some aggressive racing over the day's hilly terrain, however despite the best efforts of the likes of Annemiek van Vleuten, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, Ellen van Dijk and Elisa Longo Borghini a bunch sprint came to be at the end. It was an attacked race from start to finish, but those who could sprint had the best situation towards the end.
Consonni was the fastest out of the reduced peloton and took a strong win, beating Julie de Wilde and Elise Chabbey who completed the podium.

- Contador's comments are becoming crazier. Carapaz pulled on the climb. Del toro did not. He is not Del toro's teammateabstractengineer01-06-2025
- No Alberto, Del Toro lost it for himself...
leedorney01-06-2025 - What a delusional bloke! Talking about fighting for the overall while being 13 minutes down the GC. It’s evident that his crash into the parked bus damaged not only his performance but brains as well. With Jonas as the best GT rider and other top GT GC riders absent.. it would have been more than 20minutes.
UltimateOpportunist01-06-2025 - However awful UAE's tactics were, and however bad the fear of being cracked again by Carapaz were, it is still almost beyond belief that Del Toro stopped fighting. Very sad, he had shown such fighting spirit.Hill3301-06-2025

- Hate to remind the author but he hasn’t won it yet. Not wishing any mishaps on anyone but…Mistermaumau01-06-2025
- I think they tried that in TdF. Visma was not happy that some strategic communications was leaked or something like that. It wasn't compulsory for every team to join. Did they stop it last year? I don't recall hearing radio communication last year.
KerisVroom01-06-2025 - When you’re a paid employee or contractor or self-employed you arrange what is best and parties either agree or not. Stating in advance how far you’ll go in a race because you have a specific task and other obligations is NOT being a quitter.Mistermaumau01-06-2025
- I tend to agree, it shows his immature side which is why he still can’t technically be a leader but then he doesn’t really need to be to achieve what he does. He’s won enough but he might have won even more with a little more foresight. It changes the spectator profile too, attracting more casual viewers (and by extension even crowds not really interested in cycling just to see what all the fuss is about just like people started taking a peak at football to find out what the Messi/Ronaldo fuss was about) to see the phenomenon whereas a Giro like this year attracts more loyal or passionate cycling enthusiasts, less of the beer throwing crowd.Mistermaumau01-06-2025
- You only read the title? Crash down has more subtle meanings too though it’s not used particularly well here, probably a foreigner’s bad attempt at a play on words.Mistermaumau01-06-2025
