  1. Paris-Nice 2024, March 3-10

    Let the hype begin! It's a showdown between Roglic, in his all new Bora team, and Remco, before their real showdown at the TDF. But there's also a lot of other talent here. Also notable is the TTT of 27 km, where Quickstep will take a lot of time. Notable GC mentions: Evenepoel, Roglic...
  2. Tour de France 2023 Tour de France, Stage 1: Bilbao - Bilbao, 182 km (Spain, Saturday, July 1)

    Stage 1: Bilbao - Bilbao, 182 km Saturday, July 1, 12:30 – 17:15 CEST Commentary from Christian Prudhomme The Basque Country doesn’t lack options when it comes to offering opportunities to the puncheurs. With 3,300 metres of vertical gain and a double springboard where gaps can be...
  3. Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2023, one day monument, April 23 (men's)

    Pog is hungry for more (yet again). After winning Flanders, Amstel Gold, Fleche, he is now coming to face Remco in LBL. It will be a battle we are all waiting for. Remco has beaten Pog in the WC race last year., not to mention he is the defending champion since he won LBL last year. Can the...
  4. La Flèche Wallonne 2023, one day classic, April 19 (men's)

    Pog is hungry for more. After winning Amstel Gold he is coming to Belgium to try to win a race that has eluded him thus far. He will face some rested competition who might fare better on the single hard climb effort, the race finishes on Mur de Huy, which is 1.3km @ 9.6%. Last year it was Teuns...
  5. 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...
  6. 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...
  7. UAE Tour 2023, February 20-26 (women's race February 9-12)

    The one and only world tour race in the Middle East. Hot racing in the sand! New feature is the addition of an TTT (yes, a team timetrial). Notable GC mentions: Evenepoel, Adam Yates, Bilbao, McNulty, Soler, Buchmann, Kuss Notable sprinters: Groenewegen, Ewan, Bennet, Merlier, Cavendish...
  8. Il Lombardia 2022, one day monument, October 8, farewell to Nibali and Valverde

    One day classic for climbers. As always all the climbing talent is here. Notable events/riders: Pogacar is back to defend his victory from last year Vingegaard will want to beat Pogacar again MVDP is back after running into trouble with some kids in Australia (he decided he likes gravel now...
  9. Critérium du Dauphiné 2022, June 5 - 12

    The TDF race before the actual TDF. The chance for most of Tour GC hopefuls to see where they stand. Pogacar however will do Tour of Slovenia, like last year. Notable GC mentions: Roglic, Vingegaard, Enric Mas, Gaudu, Bilbao, O'Connor, Haig, Ayuso, McNulty, Kelderman Notable sprinters: Wout...
