Liège - Liège 254.5 km / Bastogne-Liège 152.9 km Final day of the spring classics and all the bigs who’ve got a leg to stand on are here. Expected finish times: 16:10-16:45 CEST / 17:40-18:05 CEST LU Biscuits of the Day: Tadej Pogacar & Demi Vollering The two soul crushers go head to head here and I’m going to say MvdP still has a little too much junk in the trunk to beat the skinny guys in Liège. Meanwhile my broken-clock strategy with Vollering is bound to pay off at some point. Official Site , Startlist Women , Startlist Men ..read more

Photo by Luc Claessen/Getty Images Charleroi - Huy 198.6 km / Huy - Huy 146 km Welcome to the uphill sprint World Championships. Not a bad way to spend a Wednesday. Expected finish times: 16:10-16:40 CEST / 17:45-18:10 CEST Murderers of the Day: Dylan Teuns & Demi Vollering Teuns is a wily old dude at this point, on form and knows how to time this. Unless some of the young guns are on a spectacular day he might have this. And Vollering has to start winning things again at some point. Doesn’t she?

Photo by ANP via Getty Images Unless you’re asking about the women I’ve been to plenty of fun movies in my life, being of a certain age, and a large slice of that experience is the sports film. A typical sports film creates some sort of compelling sports conflict which builds and smolders and works its way to a stunning sports conclusion that solves the entire conflict. People at the cinema might even cheer a bit, because the actors can definitely hear them through the screen and the projector and whatnot. But what if sports movies were more like real life? Take Rocky III, probably the spicies ..read more

Maastricht - Valkenburg 157.8 km / 253.6 km Time for the hilliest of the hilly classics. We go round and round Valkenburg until everyone gets dizzy and last rider standing wins. Expected finish time: 14:05-14:15 CEST / 16:45-16:55 CEST Duke and Duchess of Brabant Limburg: Demi Vollering & Mathieu van der Poel Let’s try this one more time because I really think I almost got it right on Wednesday. SD Worx have got their groove back, Matthews is too good this season not to get a reward at some point..... but it’s not happening when superalien is around. But Matthews for the podium for sure ..read more

Always a brutal and relentless race. Expected finish time: 14:14 CEST / 17:05 CEST Duke and Duchess of Brabant: Demi Vollering & Michael Matthews Today’s bets: SD Worx have got their groove back, Matthews is too good this season not to get a reward at some point.

Compiègne - Roubaix 259.7 km Day two of Roubaix-ing. Can the men match three world champions sprinting it out in the velodrome? It’s going to take quite something but Roubaix rarely disappoints. Expected finish time: 17:05-17:35 CEST King of the Queen of the Classics: Mathieu van der Poel I’m sorry but I can’t really think of any reason to predict otherwise right now.

Denain - Roubaix 148.5 km Two days of Roubaix-ing, can you get better than that? Expected finish time: 17:20-17:45 CEST Queen of the Queen of the Classics: Marianne Vos Somewhere deep inside i hve the sense Kopecky will pull off the win just the way it seemed inevitable a few weeks ago. But I also can’t shake the impression from last week that she is on a downward trajectory, not an upward one. So who might be there to pounce....... Official Site , Startlist ..read more
