  1. Ronde van Vlaanderen 2025, one day monument, April 6 (men's)

    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...
  2. Paris-Nice 2025, March 9-16

    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...

  4. Tour of Slovenia 2024, June 12 - 16

    More hot racing this year. Previous to last year, the two editions were won by Pogacar. Then great racing by Filippo Zana to win last year, with Pogacar missing because of the broken wrist. This year Pog is resting after the Giro, so no races before the Tour. But there opens up the competition...

  6. Milano - Sanremo 2024, one day monument, March 16

    PS: Mostly copied from last year :cool: You know this race. The oldest classic, the sprinter's classic, except when it's not. Will Pogacar, MVDP, Laporte, 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...
  7. 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...
  8. Tour of Oman - Muscat Classic 2024 , February 9-14

    This is a race of two parts. First part is the Muscat Classic, a one day race on February 9, 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...
  9. CRO Race 2023, Croatia, September 26 - October 1

  10. Eschborn-Frankfurt 2023, one day classic, May 1

  11. Paris-Roubaix 2023, one day monument, April 9 (men's)

    The old gang is back, fresh from Flanders, minus Pog. Wout and MVDP will battle it out again, but this time without the nasty climbs they will have a lot more competition on the cobbles. Last year it was Dylan van Baarle who won it in a daring solo, winning by almost 2 minutes ahead of Wout and...
  12. Ronde van Vlaanderen - Tour des Flandres 2023, one day monument, April 2 (men's)

  13. 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...
