2026 Spring Classics Thread

Cycling got a mention on BBC radio 5 news this morning, reporting that Pidders had won a stage of the prestigious (ahem) Tour of the Alps.

Well, it sounds pretty good doesn't it? Kinda like the Tour de France. But just the Alps.

Thursday IS a quite (sports) news day. I presume there was no exciting football transfer gossip to report?

One for the hardcore who watched more of Fleche Wallone than me (a.k.a. more than the last 3 kilometres)

Were AG2R doing the break controlling? They had the favourite, but it's never a role they've had to perform before...

Both behind Seixas?
Remco is 7/1 if you want to risk your pennies!
I think Pog will win, personally, but I hope it's close
