Best Spring Classic 2014

[Duke_S]

Best/your favorite spring classic in 2014?

 

[Richeypen]

Omloop, Stannard, enough said.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Race action wise Omloop and SB for me, but the quality of the field at RVV adds to that race probably giving it the edge.

Only interesting Ardennes race was BP, which is not unusual even if this year's edition was lower quality.

Moving to Turkey now.

Easily Strade.. What a great race. The past two versions have been excellent. Much more exciting race than AGR, or LBL

 

[PunchingRouleur]

Omloop, Strade Bianche - best races
RVV - great race, great field
Paris Roubaix - solid edition, but nothing special for roubaix standard

other races in poll, standard editions, kbk - not **** thanks to omega and belkin, roma maxima good thanks to valverde, enjoy all of them



LBL - only last 15 km solid, no atacks from main favorites, disappointment

Flèche, Amstel - boring even more than expected






MSR - ****

RVV without a doubt and PR a close 2nd.

I can't believe you've included LBL but not the Scheldeprijs or FW.

For me De Ronde,but Omloop is pretty close,Ardennes are light years away lol

 

[SafeBet]

I liked most of them until we reached Ardennes which were so dull that I'm starting to question my love for the sport.

 

[Roderick]

Basically, every race that GVA did was good

 

[BigMac]

My local rural charity race hands down.

 

[Arredondo]

I'm going for Flanders, just because of the importance of the race, the hype and all the talk before with Eddy Planckaert

Strade, Omloop and Roubaix were good too.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Since when is Strade Bianche a spring classic?

Since about 2008.

Keep calm and believe in Giro.

Of the cobbled classics I enjoyed the Omloop and Ronde, but the Ardennes were awful. Says enough that the Amstel Gold had the most action of the three races... MSR and LBL were boring as hell, as was Roubaix to a certain degree.

Bring on the Giro plz!!! I'd like to see some memorable racing.

Flanders! Love the cobbles, the bergs, and this years winner, and the way in which he won!

Agreed with all of that,RVV the best,steadily downhill from that point on,everyone looking at each other in Roubaix and a dreadful Ardennes which didn't even manage to meet my already low expectations (hoped for a good Liege after a couple of uphill sprints in AGR/FW).

 

[Carols]

RVV enough said

 

[greenedge]

RVV then Strade Bianche
