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...

PS: Did a one thread for both races, since they are basically part of the same event, with the same riders participating. The last two WT races before the World Championships, these races seem to get better every ear, and drawing bigger names. Always exciting racing. Pogacar is coming back...

The old gang is back, fresh from Milano Sanremo. This time it's Wout's turn, as Pog is racing in Catlunya. He and MVDP will battle it out on the cobbled climbs. For the last two editions it was Wout who has won it, can he do a hattrick? Notable all-rounder: Wout, MVDP, Hirschi, Mohoric, Kung...

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...
