2024 Spring Classics Heroics Spring Classics 2025: A Year of Dominance
What do Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar, and Remco Evenepoel have in common—besides being serial winners? They left hardly anything for the rest!
Of course, Jasper Philipsen’s monumental win in Milan-San Remo was spectacular. But even then, the (then) world champion Van der Poel played a crucial role in that victory. Van der Poel himself conquered the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix, finishing third in Liège–Bastogne–Liège, and was a key figure in Philipsen’s La Primavera triumph.
Meanwhile, Pogačar dominated Strade Bianche and Liège–Bastogne–Liège before going on to an unbelievable twelve-stage win streak in both the Giro and Tour. He became the first rider since Pantani to claim both Grand Tours in a single season. And as if that wasn’t enough, Evenepoel took double gold at the Olympics, finished third in the Tour de France, and defended his world time trial title.
Spring is Here: Time for the Classics
Spring—the most beautiful season of the year. Nature awakens, the days grow longer, and the warmth returns. Passionate cyclists swap Zwift for long outdoor rides, and the first gran fondos of the year are underway.
But cycling fans know the real highlight of spring: the Spring Classics. Every year, they clear their schedules for the last Saturday of February, freeing themselves from daily obligations to immerse in the race action. The fridge is stocked with Belgian beers, ready for an afternoon of non-stop cycling. Whether watching from the couch with a pint, at a local café with friends, or roadside along the parcours, the thrill is the same.
There’s nothing better than heading to Het Kuipke for the first glimpse of the peloton in action. Or witnessing the three brutal ascents of the Kwaremont during De Ronde.
Over the course of ten weeks, fourteen epic races unfold—from Omloop Het Nieuwsblad to Liège–Bastogne–Liège. Will Wout Van Aert finally conquer De Ronde or Roubaix? Will Matje carry his cyclocross form onto the road and drop the competition like a stone? Imagine the rainbow jersey soloing to victory on the Roubaix velodrome—a dream scenario.
Speculating over which riders to pick for your fantasy team is part of the fun. Which dark horse will you take a chance on? Which star will you save for the big points races? Should you go all-in on the Opening Weekend, or hold back for the Monuments in April? What’s the best strategy to win a Spring Classics fantasy game?
Regardless of the game’s rules, Cycling-Classics.com provides in-depth race previews, favorites, and dark horse picks for every race.
Here’s to an unforgettable spring of racing!
