Michał Kwiatkowski
claimed
his first road race win as World champion with a perfectly executed
sprint at Amstel Gold Race.
The Pole was briefly distanced on the final ascent of the Cauberg by defending champion Philippe Gilbert and sprinter Michael Matthews but the Etixx-QuickStep rider latched back with several other riders, including Alejandro Valverde as the group crested the climb. BMC led out, then Sky made a move on the right and Matthews was in a good position but Kwiatkowski came from a long way back, and took the win by over a bike length. It looks like Valverde was second. April

The 2016 Felt Bicycles cyclocross bike line features two top-end F1x
models, one for $6999 with Dura-Ace Di2, another at $5499 with a mix of
SRAM Red and Force 1.
At
the 2015 Sea Otter Classic, we got a first look at the brand-new 2016
cyclocross bikes unveiled by Felt Bicycles.
Each change may seem subtle, but as an entire package, the new carbon cyclocross bikes (F1x, F3x, F4x) have hopped the barrier to become completely modern machines. The aluminum models keep the same frames, but adopt the latest components. Felt Bicycles already had an Editors’ Award-winning carbon platform for its cyclocross bikes. April

A worthy winner who not only proved the fastest in the sprint, he was
one of the strongest on the Cauberg too.
Michał Kwiatkowski
wins the sprint to take the Amstel Gold Race, checking he’s got the
better of Michael
Matthews while Cauberg attacker Philippe Gilbert has
already been tamed and beaten.
The early break was notable for two things. First the presence of Lotto-Jumbo’s Timo Roosen, because if the team had missed the move you sense they’d have been forced to bring it back in order to try again; second Mike Tepstra was there, the Roompot rider isn’t Niki’s twin but they’re look-a-likes. Despite no obvious threats the move was never allowed to get much time with BMC Racing and Movistar doing a lot of the tempo-setting, with BMC’s Marcus Burghardt notable for a lot of work. As ever on the small roads crashes took their toll, notably Lieuwe Westra. While if a rider punctured they could often get back to the bunch ok, it was moving back to the front of the peloton that was the hard part. April

win. © Matthew Lasala / Cyclocross Magazine.
With
shortened races for the Elite Riders, 30 minutes for the Elite Women
and 45 for the Elite Men, riders had to step out of their longer-spaced
comfort zones and push hard right from contesting the holeshot.
Caroline Mani, winner of the Pro CX series in 2014-15, continued her winning ways at Sea Otter, with a fiercely close finish in front of Cassie Maximenko of Rare Vos/Van Dessel. Mani nearly finished in the top ten at Tabor, taking an 11th in one of the most thrilling cyclocross races at a World Championship. Mani and Maximenko finished within five seconds of each other at the head of the field, shortening the race to a brutally fast 23 minutes. Caitlyn Vestal was 12 seconds back in third, while Caroline Dezendorf finished fourth, over a minute ahead of the rest of the field that included names like Emily Kachorek and Nicole Duke. April

Rolland soloed clear to win the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon queen stage
and take the overall victory.
After
a number of near-misses, Pierre
Rolland finally took his first victory of the 2015 season
when he emerged as the strongest in the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon queen
stage.
On the final climb of the Alto de Lubian, he found himself with Rodolfo Torres and the Movistar pair of Benat Inxausti and Igor Anton in a strong quartet and with 1km to go, he accelerated clear to win both the stage and the overall in the three-day race. Rolland is usually a slow starter but by the time we get to the month of April, his legs have often started to come around. The 2015 season seems to be no exception and today he confirmed his steady progression by finally taking his first win of the year in the Vuelta a Castilla y Leon queen stage. April

Winning the Amstel Gold Race in the rainbow jersey is a dream come true.
Kwiatkowski scored
80 UCI WorldTour ranking points for his victory and jumped from 13th
place to fourth place in the individual ranking. He now has a total of
195 points after also finishing second overall at Paris-Nice and eighth
at the recent Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco.
Kwiatkowski’s success lifted Etixx-Quick Step from second place to first in the team rankings. The Belgian team was consistent and often dominated the spring Classics in recent weeks but had failed to land a big UCI WorldTour win. Now they have the victory they needed and lead the UCI WorldTour team rankings with a total of 670 points. Team Sky slipped to second place with 629 points, with the Team Katusha holding onto third place with 527 points. April

Kirsten Wild (Hitec Products – UCK) took her third straight victory in
Apledoorn. She beat Lucy Garner (Liv Plantur) and Barbara Guarischi
(Velocio-SRAM) to the top step of the podium. .
A
familiar face was first across the line at Ronde van Gelderland as Kirsten Wild took
her third straight victory in Apledoorn. The Dutchwomen out-sprinted Lucy Garner and Barbara Guarischi to
the top step of the podium.
The peloton split over the early climbs but reformed over the winding, narrow roads on the return to Apledoorn. The second half of the race saw a number of breakaways go clear, but all lacked the staying power to gain any real traction. The most dangerous move of the lot was an eight-rider escape. April

After several attacks, Geniez emerged as the fastest from a five-rider
group that sprinted for the win in Tro Bro Leon.
Alexandre Geniez shone
in unusual terrain when he took a surprise win in Tro Bro Leon whose
many gravel roads have made it known as the mini Paris-Roubaix. The
Frenchman made it into a 5-rider group that sprinted for the win and he
managed to relegate Benoit
Jarrier and Florian
Senechal into the minor positions to take his
first win since his stage victory in the 2013 Vuelta a Espana.
Geniez is known as a climber and his major achievements have all been acheived on the steep ascents. His career highlight came in 2013 when he won the Vuelta a Espana queen stage to Peyragudes in the Pyrenees and he has long been expected to become a great GC rider. April

youngster Tao Geoghegan
Hart raced to a podium finish at the U23
Liege Bastogne Liege as several of the favorites were
sent in the wrong direction by police towards the finish.
As Australian Jack Haig led the group to the top of the route’s penultimate climb at Saint Nicolas a police officer reportedly directed them to go turn left, when, in fact, they needed to turn right. French website DirectVelo.com reports that some riders travelled up to 3km in the wrong direction before turning back, with BMC Development Team rider Loïc Vliegen among them. April

Robbie McEwen has
travelled to the United States only three times in the past 20 years
but his current trek with his son Ewan
is the first time the three-time Tour de France green jersey winner
hasn't visited in order to compete.
The journey, an extended "boys' trip" to California, has taken the duo sightseeing to several Los Angeles landmarks, and it still has plenty to do with cycling. April
