Mollema san sebastianThe Donostia-Donostia Klasikoa, or Clasica Cycliste San Sebastian as it's known to us non-Basques, takes place this Saturday in it's traditional slot one week after the Tour de France climax. It is a race that I fondly remember last year, with 40/1 shot landing the win for us in fine style.

Liège-Bastogne-Liège

Liège to Ans

Sunday 23rd April, 258kms

liege-logo-2015So there was indeed a sense of deja-vu at Fleche Wallonne on Wednesday with the same 1-2 as in 2014, and without Alaphilippe the same 1-2 you could say as last year. Valverde did what Valverde does and Martin does what Martin does and got his positioning all wrong with 500m to go.

Paris-Roubaix 2017

Sunday 9th April, 257kms

Paris-R-logoPhilippe Gilbert has passed up the opportunity to complete the rare Flanders/Paris Roubaix double on Sunday, opting instead to save himself for the Ardennes races to come. A wise choice probably, as this looks like being all about Tom Boonen for Quick-Step on Sunday.

Omloop Het Nieuwsblad

omloop

The Omloop. Not a name that really fits the first battle over the cobbles of northern Europe. It sounds like the name of a really bad link road around a non-descript town in the middle of Belgium. Instead, it's the scene for the first taste of proper racing. Racing in the wind, maybe in the rain or even snow and more importantly in the cycling heartland of northern Europe. Oh and cobbles.

liege-logo-2015The 100th edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège last year is one that I'll not forget for a while after landing one of by biggest results of the year on Simon Gerrans. Some said he couldn't possibly win, too much climbing in it.. My information said otherwise and we landed a right touch at 25/1. Not only that, but I had Dan Martin at 50/1 each-way, so as he headed to the final bend in pursuit of Moreno, with Gerrans not far behind I was just a little excited you could say.

The Norwegian is in incredible form at the moment and continued his dominance of spring races with yet another win in the crash-marred Scheldeprijs on Wednesday.

Wednesday 8th April, 215.3kms

2015 scheldeprijs logoThe 2015 Scheldeprijs, like the Tour of Flanders just a few days before is missing two of it's biggest stars this year in Marcel Kittel and Mark Cavendish. Coincidentally, like Boonen and Cancellara who have both won Flanders three times, Kittel and Cavendish are also three times winners of the Scheldeprijs. Marcel Kittel has dominated this race for the past three years, but misses out this year as he is still recovering from the bug that has affected him this season.

As it contains a lot of the climbs and cobbles of the Tour of Flanders, all of the main contenders will be here to get in some serious practice with only nine days to go to the Ronde. Peter Sagan won it last year and managed to keep his hands to himself this time on the podium, much to the amusement of Niki Terpstra who finished 2nd.

Dwars logoNiki Terpstra returns to try to win the Dwars door Vlaanderen for the third time in four years after a superb solo victory last year and in 2012. Last year he won by 17" from a very annoyed Tyler Farrar, annoyed by the fact that he should have won had they not let Tersptra get away. In 2014 he won by an even bigger margin, 47" over Chavanel and de Kort. In between Oscar Gatto won the sprint from the break, but Tersptra led the second group home in 11th place.

stradeThe Strade Bianche is an interesting race - in terms of the history of cycling, this race has none really to talk about, it has only been around since 2007. But what it lacks in history it makes up for in great racing. The 'Strade Bianche' is named after the chalk roads which make up some 70kms of the course, criss-crossing over the rolling hills of Tuscany.
