A dark horse for the podium at Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix? – Cycling’s new late attacker is making his presence impossible to ignore

The sight of anyone bridging across solo to a leading duo of Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert is certain to pique the interest of the cycling world, but young Belgian Alec Segaert is quickly making the late attack his trademark move and his presence impossible to ignore.

Already a winner at WorldTour level in a time trial and a three-time under-23 European ITT Champion, Segaert has surely taken inspiration from Fabian Cancellara in his methods, and could prove a genuine outside podium contender for the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix in the coming two weeks.
