Cycling
Not for the first time in recent months, a Soudal - Quick-Step rider has been left out of action for an extended period of time after being hit by a car on a training ride. After Remco Evenepoel in early December, now too Antoine Huby is sidelined.
According to a press release by the Soudal - Quick-Step team, "The Frenchman will be out of action for several weeks." The exact details of the incident aren't noted in the statement from his team, but following is said: "Following a collision with a motor vehicle during training Thursday, Soudal - Quick-Step’s Antoine Huby underwent examinations at the Herentals Hospital today."
"A CT scan revealed that Antoine has broken his shoulder blade which will require him to be immobile for three weeks, followed by a period of rehabilitation and physiotherapy, and he is scheduled to return on his bike in around six weeks," continues the announcement. "Everybody in the Wolfpack family wishes Antoine the best for his recovery," something all associated with CyclingUpToDate can echo.

- Funny that they shorten women’s races but have no qualms about letting U23 do the same distances.Jumpyjohn23-03-2025

- Obviously the questions are more important to some here than to them or the team so I suggest looking for answers instead of asking questions between ourselves. We’ll probably get them unless someone actually goes to ask the protagonists themselves. Here are some starters : They like riding together; they have their own rivalry that helps bring out the best in both; they might get more points helping each other compared to racing separate races. In any case, unless we hear MJ complaining about it, I don’t think it’s going to change, it’s the Sepp Kuss syndrome all over again, fans lobbying against the will of the rider.Mistermaumau23-03-2025

- i remember when not too long ago mathieu was regarded as a real tactical knucklehead. i’m not sure that was ever quite accurate, but it’s certainly the case that over the years he has become a real master tactician. in the biggest races, van der poel rarely makes choices that don’t fully optimize every specific advantage he has.OCexile23-03-2025
- Whatever the result, I believe the strategy by UAE to launch Pogacar was absolutely the right one. Unfortunately, they just were not able to execute it the way they must have planned, being all over the place at the start of the Cipressa.Cooldude23-03-2025
- They are without doubt not just the best two classics riders of this generation, but amongst the best of all time. MvdP is more suited to MSR and PR (which Pog has yet to race), while Pog is now almost untouchable at LBL and Lombardia. RVV is the only one where both basically have an equal chance to win.Cooldude23-03-2025
- bravissima!
maria2024202423-03-2025 - According to Tadej's Strava upload, he went up the Cipressa at an average speed of 37.6kph. Rocket ship! He did the 5.63km verified 'Cipressa' Strava segment in 8:59 minutes, which has a 4.3% average grade and total elevation gain of 229m. Naturally, he got the Strava KOM.Pogboom23-03-2025
