2025

More hot racing this year. This year the racing comes a bit sooner, so it doesn't clash with so many other races like in previous years. Only the last stage is on the same day as the start of Dauphine. Pog has won this race a few times in the past, but this year he's doing the Dauphine after a...

● Four days after Puck Pieterse's victory over Demi Vollering in La Flèche Wallonne Femmes, the Dutch pair will meet again on Sunday in Liège... where Pieterse also beat her compatriot in the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift. ● The ninth edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes will also see...

After losing the Paris Roubaix, SD Worx team will want some payback. But now they also have Vollering to deal with, and Longho Borghini is back from injury in Flanders as well. Lots of climbing so it should favor the climbers. Winner of PR, Pauline, is sitting this one out. Notable riders...

So for now it was either MVDP or Pog in the big classics. MVDP is sitting this one out, but Pogacar is racing. He will battle Remco after his return from injury, and also Wout, who is coming into some good form. Lot's of climbing and hopefully and exciting race. Notable riders: Pogacar...

Unlike other races, this race is one day before the men's event, so we get to enjoy two days of PR action! Kopecky is back to defends her title, and with a win in Flanders she is the number one favorite. Unfortunately Longho Borghini is not racing because of the crash she had in Flanders. Can...

So the SD Worx rosters is stacked, they want to take back the win that they lost last year to Longo Borghini. Before her it was Kopecky who won it twice in a row. Also returning is Anna van der Breggen, who last won it in 2018. And Wiebes in the current form might also win it. It's up to other...

The old gang is back, fresh from E3, Gen and Milan Sanremo races. Wout, Pog and MVDP will battle it out again. But this year we also have a strong Pedersen and Ganna. Can anyone stop MVDP winning this? Last year it was MVDP who soloed to a dominant win. Notable riders: Pogacar, Wout, MVDP...

It's the proper start of cobbled classics, they only way to properly race a classic. The old gang is back, fresh from Milano Sanremo. It's MVDP vs Pog vs Ganna again, but now joined by Wout as well. And a host of other talent as well. Notable rider: Pogacar Wout, MVDP, Girmay, Jorgenson, De...

So after the exciting Milano SanRemo, we have an exciting stage race. Ayuso come to this race fresh after winning Tirreno, hoping for more wins. Roglic returns to racing, honing his for before the Giro. However Vingegaard will not race as he's still not recovered from his crash. But we get the...

UPDATE: First edition after Primavera Rosa being cancelled 20 years ago. Who will have the better of everyone? Kopecky finally returns to racing, Vollering and Longho Borghini already in great form but they have the Pogacar problem with having to drop everyone on the climb. Can Wiebes make it...

PS: Mostly copied from last year You know this race. The oldest classic, the sprinter's classic, except when it's not. Will Pogacar, MVDP, Pedersen, Ganna and other all rounders manager to drop the sprinters on the Poggior or not? Will Mohoric try on the descent again? Time will tell! Notable...

Let the hype begin! It's the big showdown everyone has been waiting for. It's MVDP vs Girmay. The race starts with a 10km flat ITT. Vingegaard has moved from defending his title to Paris-Nice instead. Notable GC mentions: Adam Yates, Pidcock, Ayuso, Landa, Carapaz, Bilbao, Gaudu, Gee Notable...

So Vingegaard comes fresh from his Algarve win to dominate yet another stage race. The others will have to settle for 2nd place or lower. O'connor and Almeida might try something though. And Buitrago has been in good form as well Also notable is the TTT of 28 km, where Visma will take even more...

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. Vollering is returning to try to regain her win from 2023, no news about Kopecky yet if she will defend her win from last year. Also returning in good form is...

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. Pogacar is returning to defend his last year's win, and Pidcock to defend his win the year before in 2023. There is talk of MVDP possibly starting as well, no...

The return of Pogacar! After all this time UAE still make him do this desert race. Probably because of last year, when they haven't managed to win or even podium, since Yates crashed out. In the end a breakout win for Lennert Van Eetvelt. And the year before where Remco stole the win. Also a...

Women's Valenciana race. Demi vollering in her new FDJ colors, Reusser in her new Movistar colors, and the return of Anna Van Der Breggen, after being retired for 3 years. Notable mentions: Anna van der Breggen, Vollering, Marlen Reusser, Balsamo, Lippert...

This is a race of two parts. First part is the Muscat Classic, a one day race on February 7, followed by 5 stages of Tour of Oman. Startlist should be the same for both races. It's like UAE Tour, but with actual hills and mountains instead of a flat desert. Should make for a better viewing. A...

This is where the stage races start proper in Europe. We've had the Mallorca one day races, now it's onto the mainland. It's Spain so that means plents of climbing, and even a TTT. Notable GC/allaround mentions: O'Connor, Carlos Rodriguez, McNulty, Almeida, Martinez, Vlasov, Bilbao, Buitrago...
