Van der Poel solo win as Pogačar keeps Tirreno lead
March 14, 2021 GMT
CASTELFIDARDO, Italy (AP) Mathieu van der Poel soloed to victory on the fifth stage of the weeklong Tirreno-Adriatico race as Tour de France champion Tadej Pogačar extended his overall lead to more than a minute on Sunday.
Van der Poel attacked with more than 50 kilometers (31 miles) remaining of the 205-kilometer (127-mile) leg from Castellalto to Castelfidardo and the Dutch champion built up a lead of around three minutes on the tough finishing circuit, which had to be covered four times.
The chasing group was happy to let him go as he posed little threat to the overall standings but Pogačar made his move with 17 kilometers remaining and slashed the gap to finish just 10 seconds behind Van der Poel.

It’s Ronde van Vlaanderen season, don’t you know? So yes, I am here to write about the week’s ongoing races, all of which are nice little practice events for the Ronde van Vlaanderen.
Tirreno-Adriatico Best Bet
I am guilty of writing off these races, even one that goes through central Italy, for lack of interest and need of sleep, but the fact is that both races have provided plenty of reasons to stay tuned. Paris-Nice is kind of its usual self, building to a climactic weekend with a larger mountain stage and then a mountain laps thingy around Nice, ascending the Col d’Eze somewhere close to the finish. This time around the Col d’Eze is the penultimate climb, the Col des Quartre Chemins, or the Climb of the Four Paths. Are there four routes to the top? Is this a discounted version of the Eightfold Path to Buddhist enlightenment? Nobody knows. But the winner will roll into central Nice,
