Danny Van Poppel (LottoNL-Jumbo) won the 71st edition of Halle-Ingooigem in Belgium on Tuesday in a reduced-bunch sprint ahead of Fabio Jakobsen (Quick-Step Floors) and Sean De Bie (Verandas Willems Crelan).

Aside from Chris Froome (Team Sky) and Tom Dumoulin (Team Sunweb), we’ve seen nearly all of the pre-race favourites for this year’s Tour de France race over the past two weeks. From the Criterium du Dauphine, to the Tour de Suisse and everything in between, there have been impressively strong performances from some candidates, while several still have a way to go before finding their best form.

Lining up for the 223.6km race in Binche on Sunday will be Laurens De Plus, Tim Declercq, D...
Mikel Landa believes the Movistar could have a team that is as good as, if not stronger, than Team Sky at next months Tour de France. Landa was Chris Froomes most important rider at last years race but moved to Movistar over the winter and forms part of a three-pronged GC attack with Nairo Quintana and Alejandro Valverde. It could be that Movistar will be the strongest at the Tour this year. I am happy with the team, it is really strong and we will resolve things out on the road. At least we wi...
Samantha Schneider (Iscorp) increased her lead in the Cyclingnews Bell Lap series after winning the Harlem Skyscraper Cycling Classic on Sunday in New York City.
