PARIS (Reuters) - Cycling managed to deliver an exhilarating, action-packed season that saw the younger generation, led by Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar, take power despite the season being shortened by the new coronavirus pandemic. Women's cycling, however, still struggles with exposure and lost a potentially major sponsor when the Paule Ka team folded before the end of the season. The women's Tour still does not have its own equivalent of the Tour de France. Dutchman Van Poel beat his Belgian opponent in a two-man sprint finish in the latest installment of their rivalry. Van Aert, who also impressed during the Tour as a team mate of Roglic, did however win the Milan-Sanremo Monument in August.
