Warre Vangheluwe takes surprise sprint victory on stage 2 of the 2024 Tour of Guangxi
CyclingWednesday, 16 October 2024 at 09:10
Soudal - Quick-Step's Warre Vangheluwe has taken victory from a very tight bunch sprint finale to stage 2 at the 2024 Tour of Guangxi.
Although a second bunch sprint had been expected at the start of the day, heading into the final 10km, a very strong breakaway of six held a lead of around a minute over the peloton. Included in that lead group were notable names such as Dries De Bondt, Filip Maciejuk, Daan Hoole, Julien Vermote, Taco van der Hoorn and Martin Svrcek.
The peloton hadn't completely given up hope just yet though and at 5km to go, the gap was cut to only 35 seconds, with both a breakaway win and a sprint still a possibility. Finally, inside the final kilometre, the catch was completed. The drama wasn't though as a crash took out Jhonatan Narvaez. In the sprint for the line, Warre Vangheluwe took the surprise victory for Soudal - Quick-Step ahead of Max Kanter.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
