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...
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 2022 win, while Wout and MVDP, the two elite off road riders, don't want to race on gravel it seems. Also Pidcock is return to...
This is a race where Vingegaard beats lesser riders. Think of Remco in Algarve and you get the idea. Also he is defending his win from last year.
Notable riders: Vingegaard, Gaudu, Powless, Rodriguez, Carapaz, Uijtdebroeks, Lenny Martinez, Tarling, Uran, Bernal...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Let the hype begin! It's a showdown between Pog and Vinge, before their real showdown at the TDF. But there's also a lot of other talent here.
Also notable is the TTT of 32 km, where stronger teams will take a lot of time.
Notable GC mentions: Pogacar, Vingegaard, Martinez, Skjelmose, Powless...
