Newsflash: 20th March, first win, first monument of the year, and a special announcement from SBS

From heartbreak to redemption for Alec Segaert, a dramatic Nokere–Denain double act, and all eyes now on a blockbuster Milano-Sanremo weekend, as SBS locks in cycling’s biggest races through to 2028.

Alec Segaert bounced back from heartbreak to win the Grand Prix de Denain with a stunning solo, just a day after being caught in the final metres by Jasper Philipsen at Nokere Koerse, where Philipsen took his first win of 2026, while Lotte Kopecky claimed the women’s race; attention now turns to the season’s first Monument, Milano-Sanremo, featuring stars like Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Wout van Aert, with the women’s race also returning and headlined by Lorena Wiebes and Kopecky, as SBS confirms expanded coverage through to 2028, including the Giro d’Italia Women and Il Lombardia, all live and free on SBS and SBS On Demand.
