Demi Vollering rules again πͺπΊπ
Puck Pieterse still came very close, so maybe there is still some hope for an exciting Liège, depending on the form of the day.
What a strong third place by Paula Blasi again too
The π Worldchampion struggles to confirm, this Spring.

Seixas sprints away in the final kilometer and takes it.
It would be nice if we could see Pogacar, Evenepoel, Del Toro, Ayuso at the start here again. The final climb misses some star power now. Even Vingegaard has already proved himself on such climbs before.

In 2016, Alejandro Valverde won La FlΓ¨che Wallonne in the πͺπΈ Spanish champions' jersey.

La Fleche Wallonne & Liège-Bastogne-Liège will be the last road races for Puck Pieterse for a while.
Her next road race will be the Tour de France in August. In the mean time, she'll do a few MTB races.

It's perhaps a bit disrespectful to only offer a 85 km stage to the women's peloton in their biggest race of the year.
It feels like going back to the 2000s or something. The level of the peloton is so much higher today, so give them stages to use their full strength

β No FlΓ¨che Wallonne for Remco Evenepoel
Until yesterday, it looked like the winner of the Amstel Gold Race would start on Wednesday, but he opts for more rest now instead of extra racing kilometers.

I think that Chladonova is more like a puncheur type for the Ardennes. Squiban is more like a stage hunter. Despite receiving more GC chances than Blasi, she didn't do anything consistently extraordinary. Holmgren could be, but I'm not sure about her potential in flat TT's
Vingegaard to replace Jorgenson in Liège?
No, it won't happen. The Dane is currently on a training camp and will not change his plans to start in Liège. He'll keep preparing the Giro on his altitude camp.
The new Visma leader will be the 21 years old Jorgen Nordhagen

Paula Blasi will win the Tour de France within 5 years π‘π«π·
I see nobody else in her age category with the same set of qualities.

First big classic victory of the season for Evenepoel.
Well finished as the top favourite. Curious what next week can bring for him.
Where is the limit for him in the classics?

Paula Blasi takes her first big classic victory! π
A talent that has been growing very quickly in the few years in cycling.

The Amstel Gold Race should be able to attract the best riders from both the Flemish & Ardennes classics, with their kind of parcours
But the line-up seems to lack a lot of stars instead. Most cobble riders finished their Spring while many puncheurs wait until next week
#cycling
Quickstep & Specialized will part ways after this year, after 15 seasons.
The new lack of a real super star makes the team commercially less interesting for the premium bike partner. Riders like Boonen, Cavendish, Evenepoel,... rode on their bikes before.

While ASO & RCS still maintain uneven prize money in their one-day races, Flanders Classics has already equalized prize money for their classics some time ago.
When will equal rewards for the same result finally apply to all cycling classics?
#cycling
Remarkable that only 2 ProTeams are interested to race such a prestigious race that receives more media exposure than the usual stage race.
Quite an opportunity missed to bring some extra media attention to the sponsor.

Koch outsmarts the two Visma champions and concludes her strong cobble campaign with a victory in Roubaix
The parcours itself deserves a serious upgrade. For already a few years now, we keep seeing very big groups staying together in the women's race.

After all these years full of misery, Wout van Aert takes his long wanted cobble monument against the best in the World.
After a difficult Winter with an ankle injury, he chose for another preparation with more races again, and he got the best out of his Spring now

Can a home rider finally take a surprise victory today or will Guesdon be able to celebrate his 30th anniversary next year? Both sound insane.

In 1981, Bernard Hinault was the last winner who won Paris-Roubaix & the Tour de France in the same season.
Will he have a successor after 45 years, this season?
