  1. E3 Saxo Classic 2024, one day classic, March 22

    The old gang is back, fresh from Milano Sanremo. This time it's Wout's turn, as Pog is racing in Catlunya. He and MVDP will battle it out on the cobbled climbs. For the last two editions it was Wout who has won it, can he do a hattrick? Notable all-rounder: Wout, MVDP, Hirschi, Mohoric, Kung...
  2. Kuurne - Bruxelles - Kuurne 2024, February 25, one-day classic

    Basically comes just after Omloop, with mostly the same protagonists. In the past even sprinters could win, bu usually it's the stong riders. So it's a double weekend for Wout and company. Notable mentions: Wout, Philipsen, De Lie, Mohoric, Laporte, Benoot, Demare, Kristoff, Wellens, Trentin...
  3. Omloop Het Nieuwsblad 2024, February 24, one-day classic (men's)

    The first of the big classics. Cobblestones, steep climbs, crazy fans, what's not to like. A big test for Wout, but MVDP is waiting for San Remo for his start of the season. Notable mentions: Wout, Philipsen, De Lie, Mohoric, Laporte, Pidcock, Benoot, Kung, Alaphilippe, Wellens, Trentin...
  4. Amstel Gold Race 2023, one day classic, April 16 (men's)

    The roles are reversed. Pog is racing, Wout and MVDP are not. He is hot off of winning Tour of Flanders, but there are others to challenge him. Last year it was Kwiatkowski, the former world champ, who won it in a head to head against Cosnefroy. The group with MVDP came in 20 seconds behind...
  5. Ronde van Vlaanderen - Tour des Flandres 2023, one day monument, April 2 (men's)

    The old gang is back, fresh from E3 race. Wout, Pog and MVDP will battle it out again. Can anyone stop Wout winning this? Last year it was MVDP who rode with Pogacar to the line and outsrpinted him. Notable all-rounder: Pogacar, Wout, MVDP, Powless, Kung, Laporte, Pidckock, Teuns, Girmay...
  6. E3 Saxo Classic 2023, one day classic, March 24

    The old gang is back, fresh from Milano Sanremo. Wout, Pog and MVDP (and Ganna) will battle it out again. Can anyone stop the savage power of MVDP? Last year it was Wout and his pal Laporte who did a 1-2 for jumbo Visma. Notable all-rounder: Pogacar, Wout, MVDP, Kung, Laporte, Girmay, Ganna...
  7. Strade Bianche 2023, March 4, one-day classic (men's & women's)

    The best non-monument race, which should by now be a monument. It's always exciting and hard racing, with lots of gravel and climbing. Wout and Pog won't be here unfortunately, so can anyone beat Matthieu Van Der Poel? Notable mentions: MVDP, Bilbao, Vlasov, Mohoric, Pidcock, Sheffield, Benoot...
