Alpes Isere Tour UCI 2.2: Guerin keeps everything open in the overall classification – Zoidl in bad luck after material defect / Fleche du Sud UCI 2.2: Youngsters fight bravely!

 

The second stage today from Les Abrets den Dauphine to Saint Quentin Fallavier (161 kilometers). The Team Vorarlberg riders did not make it into the leading group, but again controlled the group in the peloton. 50 kilometers a larger group with Zoidl and Guerin breaks away. Then another bitter pill: only a few kilometers before the finish Zoidl suffers material defect and loses over a minute of time. The race luck is currently not on the side of the Vorarlberg pros.

Quentin Jauregui (FRA/B&B Hotels-KTM) wins ahead of Lars Boven (NED/Jumbo-Visma). Alexis Guerin follows with the aspirants for the overall classification in 19th place. Tomorrow, an undulating stage follows before difficult mountain sections await on Saturday and Sunday. And here the Vorarlberg Equipe will attack.

Lukas Rüegg ninth on first stage – Lukas Meiler also top today — Fleche du Sud UCI 2.2 in Luxembourg!

Swiss Lukas Rüegg opened the 71st Fleche du Sud Tour with a solid top ten finish. He sprinted to ninth place in a very hectic race late yesterday evening.

In today’s stage with the finish in Rumelange over 165 kilometers and more than 2000 meters of altitude, Lukas Meiler from Oberammergau finishes at the same time as the winner Emilien Jeannerie (FRA/Vendee U). Meiler’s goal is the overall ranking. Rüegg lost a few seconds after an incident before the finish, but is in top shape and will put his cards on the table until Sunday.
