  1. Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition 2025, one day classic, April 20 (women's)

    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...
  2. Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2025, one day monument, April 12 (women's)

    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...

  4. Paris-Roubaix Femmes 2024, one day monument, April 6 (women's)

    Fourth edition of this women's Parix-Roubaix. SD Worx don't have it all their way this year, will we have an actual race on out hands? Last year it was an unexpected win by the Canadian Alison Jackson, who was part of a winning breakaway. Notable riders: Vos, Kopecky, Wiebes, Consonni, Balsamo...

  6. Amstel Gold Race Ladies Edition 2023, one day classic, April 16 (women's)

    Most of the women favorites are back racing the Amstel Gold. Can Cavalli repeat her last year's feat and win it? Can Vos repeat her 2021 victory? I'm sure SD Works will not want that to happen. Notable rider: Cavalli, Vos, Van Anrooij, Van Vleuten, Vollering, Longo Borghini, Persico, Kopecky...
