4.PR

I love PR a lot though.

 

[shinoda13]

Liege Bastogne Liege and Giro di Lombardia on a rainy 15th of October.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

MSR, no doubt.

Behind its a tie between RvV (old parcours!) and P-R - depending on the weather.

 

[spalco]

Roubaix easily. I'm not a fan of the Ardennes classics.

 

[RedheadDane]

Liege Bastogne Liege and Giro di Lombardia on a rainy 15th of October.

But not on a rainy 14th or 16th October?

 

[Parrulo]

it used to be the ronde but the new course which had some very appalling racing for ronde standards made me change my mind to roubaix for the time being.

if the ronde goes back to it's old route, or at least a route that creates racing from further then 20k it will be again my favourite.

 

[Hugo Koblet]

Paris-Roubaix. Has always been my favorite race. It's the one I have the earliest memories from (besides the Tour) and it's always a very special day when Paris-Roubaix is ridden.

The spectacle and the tension when they hit the cobble sections is unmatched in any other race.

I love all of the one-day races this time of year, from Omloop het Nieuwsblad to La Doyenne. It's the best part of the season, though the weather has been a bit too nasty this year. I like when the weather plays a part, but it's too much when it forces a cancellation or course change.

I gotta vote Ronde as my favorite. Just about every classics rider wants to win it during a career, so you've always got big names ready to race. Wicked little climbs and cobbles, potentially crazy weather, and Easter Sunday. That's a great combination!

 

[Netserk]

Omloop because it's the start of the season for me. For months I look forward to Het Volk.

The race itself: Roubaix
2nd: Ronde

Cobbles over everything _O_

 

[l.Harm]

I like the cobbled classics the most. The hilly ones almost always disappoint me, RvV and PR generates spectacle. Prefer PR a little over De Ronde, especially since the change in parcours.

 

[Christophe]

So many favorites to choose from -- I give a slight edge to de Ronde as the best balance of different race elements.

 

[Fearless Greg Lemond]

La Doyenne, a race never killed by team tactics.

 

[Lexman]

Voted Paris - Roubaix, but RVV is a close second. Then Liege and E3 to round out top 5 Lombardia...

 

[barmaher]

Roubaix
Ronde
MSR
LBL

I absolutely love La Doyenne, though. They are all great races. Cycling is brilliant.

 

[Shardi]

De Ronde
Roubaix
La doyenne
Il lombardia

 

[uphillstruggle]

La Doyenne all the way for me. I love watching people crack on the cols, and it's a bit less predictable than either P-R or Flanders.

 

[brilleaben]

E3 or Brabantse Pijl.
