Another Monday is here, and so is our news from the world of cycling. So, what did you miss?<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Tasmanian does it<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The 36-year-old Richie Porte secured the overall win at the Crit\u00e9rium du Dauphin\u00e9 ahead of the main event of the season. He received strong support from the rest of the team including Geraint Thomas. And he is ready to repay the favour at the Tour later this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m under no illusions that I\u2019m here [at Ineos Grenadiers] to help out and I think the way that Tao and G and those guys helped me, I would love to repay them,\u201d Porte said at the winner\u2019s press conference. \u201cI don\u2019t need that stress and pressure, I don\u2019t know how they do it. For me, this feels like a Tour de France victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cParis-Nice has always been a sweet one to me because it\u2019s my adopted home but for me, this is the race I\u2019ve been so close to winning so many times, second a couple of times, and to finally finish it off with this team is a dream come true.\u201d<\/p>\n
