Tour of Flanders 2021: Video Debrief with Tayler Wiles

Tour of Flanders 2021: Video Debrief with Tayler Wiles

Dissecting all the action from today's races


The cobbled Classics season hit its peak with the 2021 Tour of Flanders. Kasper Asgreen (Deceuninck Quick-Step) took glory in the men's race, outsprinting Mathieu van der Poel, while ageless Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) escaped to solo victory in the women's event.

Rouleur's editor Andy McGrath, cycling journalists Amy Jones and Joe Timms are joined by Trek-Segafredo racer Taylor Wiles to discuss this Easter feast of racing. They talk surprise packages, pick their unsung heroes and discuss those nail-biting finales. Plus, Wiles gives her insight on what racing the Ronde van Vlaanderen is really like and just how strong her former team-mate Van Vleuten is.
