Evenepoel wins penultimate stage of Tour of BritainImage source,jogos do roda roleta Getty ImagesImage caption, Remco Evenepoel won two gold medals at 2024 Olympic GamesByAlex FletcherBBC Sport journalistPublished6 September 202548 CommentsOlympic road race champion Remco Evenepoel won stage five of the Tour of Britain as Romain Gregoire held on to a narrow overall lead to set up a thrilling final stage in Wales on Sunday.Former world champion Evenpoel hit the front just over 300m from the line on the second and final ascent of the challenging Tumble climb in south Wales and out-sprinted Britain's Thomas Gloag, with fellow Briton Oscar Onley coming third.Evenpoel heads into the final day of the race just two seconds behind France's Romain Gregoire in the race for the general classification, with 2018 champion Julian Alaphilippe in third."I think the first time we climbed we wanted to see how we went and then the last three kilometres the wind was blowing quite hard in our face so I knew we would have to wait for the sprint," Evenpoel said."I know that after a tough day and a hard climb I still had a good sprint [in me] so I just focused on that."Evenpoel is racing for the first time since a combination of illness and injury forced him to drop out of the Tour de France in July. He added: "Tomorrow I need to try and go for it [the leader's green jersey]. It is going to be tricky, I would really love to go and get a win after a long period out of competition."Sunday's sixth and final stage takes place over 112.2km between Newport and the Welsh capital Cardiff.The race will depart from the Geraint Thomas Velodrome on what will be the last day of his career as a rider, which will come to an end when the Welsh former Tour de France champion crosses the line in his home city.Thomas says he has held discussions over staying on at Team Ineos, suggesting he is being lined up to join the management structure, rather than taking on a more hands on role with riders as a sporting director.Thousands to line streets for Thomas' final racePublished7 SeptemberStage five results1.

Amazing to see so many amateur cyclists making the pilgrimage from the surrounding region. The roads were dominated by bikers from the bridge onwards. Such a shame this doesn't get more publicity and more self-confident promoting. Feels like Britain is strangely a bit shy about its own Tour. Chapeau G.Reply601Show comment linksBComment by Bernie 2008 at 17:30 6 SepBernie 200817:30 6 Septo Own"Popped over the bridge to watch this.

Do they actually check with all the sponsors if that's what THEY want?! Why make a niche sport even 'nicher'?! [For those tempted to mention ITV4, yes, well done them, but it's largely unknown!].Reply60Show comment linksMore replies (3)DComment by Dai Quietly at 16:47 6 SepDai Quietly16:47 6 SepWas at the top of the Keepes (as we locals call it) to watch.

Hamstrung by people in charge who in the main are not fit for purpose at the top. We are supposed to have had a group tasked with the mission to improve road racing in this country. Apart from an initial report no effective strategy has been put forward. TV has followed & the rest is historyReply40Show comment linksRComment by Red Hare at 23:16 6 SepRed Hare23:16 6 SepSigh.

That isn't bad bearing in mind he has had to come back from some major injuries from crashes...Reply30Show comment linksBComment by bizzo at 10:35 7 Sepbizzo10:35 7 SepBritish cycling has the talent, many young riders doing well at the highest level on the road. Sadly Britain only manages to put together one event of any note. Belgium on the other hand a far smaller country manages to produce an outstanding Pro cycling calendar as well as many amateur races. The potential is here, there just needs to be more support...Reply40Show comment linksNComment by nick at 12:32 7 Sepnick12:32 7 SepRed tape, and blame culture has ruined open road racing. You can’t put on a race for your local club without a 3k budget and as many volunteers as riders. Having said that we have as a nation got more top riders in the pro peloton despite this. Thanks probably to track and cyclo cross. Time trialing on open roads suffers the same fate unfortunately.

Lizzie in particular was excellent and far more engaging than most of the Vuelta commentary team, who trot out the same phrases over and over again.Reply144Show comment linksMore replies (3)DComment by Dr Benjamin Twist at 16:33 6 SepDr Benjamin Twist16:33 6 SepA?h?hhh, Eddie Marx, what a wonderful bicyclist.
