AGR is the worst of the classics. A boring race with a ridiculous name.

Bolded= also in the Ronde.

You guys are clearly forgetting the Official Worst Race In The World®.

Some people actually consider that a classic.

You should watch some of the earlier editions of this race(the 90s for example) on Sporza. :p ( click on retro and then wielervoorjaar and bingo)

What race is Libertine referring to? G-W?

Something that ends with a sprint in an area where there is huge potential, has never been won by an Iberian athlete, overhypes itself and probably takes place in an english speaking country.

So the proposed London classic which said that it would be as big as Paris Roubaix in the next 5 years. Only since that hasnt materialized yet, probably Cali. Oh wait, if its 1 day race, mmm Cancer county classic? Ok no one considers it a classic, maybe the Vattenberg thing.
