Here we are!
Its 2024 and the Spring Cobbled Classics are on!
Last week at the Tour of Flanders Mathieu van der Poel (MVDP) destroyed the field in an epic race. The cobbles were wet and the 6 time World Cyclocross Champion/Current World Road Race Champion showed the cycling world who is boss.
Donned in the Rainbow Jersey (world champ) MVDP and his team Alpecin–Deceuninck made history and secured the second monument of the season.
Now it is on to the Queen of the Classics, The Paris Roubaix-The Hell of the North.
MVDP is the overwhelming favorite but this is the Hell of the North and the road, luck and conditions dictate this race.
I agree with all race predictions that MVDP is the man to beat.
American Favorites:
Matteo Jorgenson-This dude is on form. Already winning the Paris Nice Race this kid shows he can race on cobbles by winning the semi-classic Dwars door Vlaanderen. He raced well in Flanders but just ran out of steam. This would be amazing if he could win.
