Remco Evenepoel suffered a pelvic fracture after his crash at Il Lombardia, which Deceuninck - Quick-Step say will see him off the bike for "the upcoming period".

The Belgian hit the side of a bridge and fell over into a ravine in the final 50km of racing. A nervous few minutes followed while waiting for news of how bad the crash was, with pictures showing medical staff attending to the 20-year-old who had fallen some distance.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
