The Classics

[Craig Warren Hulscher]

Does anyone know how we can watch these races live? I've just looked at the Dstv calendar and neither Omloop or Kuurne are being aired live. As for XCO that seems to be another big mission.

Too early to check, as per previous years they’ll just air it on the day with no notice.

Edit: Tiz Cycling is where you can watch live with ads and pop ups.

Soren takes it. Soren is from the Nordics and loves to race in the cold. And his bike is a Belgian brand with this brand new revolutionary head tube.

Impressive WT win for Uno-X Mobility.

It takes an extraordinary amount of hard work to make it seem effortless:

The Race: 213km of Gravel and Chaos

The Strade Bianche route is more brutal than ever—213 kilometers with 16 gravel sectors, covering 82km of sterrato. That’s nearly 40% of the race off-road.
The Contenders: Who Can Challenge Pogacar?
Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert won’t be racing.
Tom Pidcock as a key threat.
Michal Kwiatkowski,  and Maxim Van Gils,
Marc Hirschi, Valentin Madouas, Ben Healy, Mathias Vacek, Attila Valter, and Davide Formolo.
—beating Pogacar on his terrain is almost impossible. If he’s even just okay, he’s the man to beat. If he’s at his best… good luck.

Women’s Strade Bianche: A Battle of Champions
136km route, with 13 gravel sectors covering 50km.
The Contenders:
Past winners Elizabeth Deignan (2016), Elisa Longo Borghini (2017), Anna van der Breggen (2018), and Demi Vollering (2023) all return.
Also in the mix? Kasia Niewiadoma, Mavi Garcia, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and Olympic road race champion Kristen Faulkner.

Any idea if DSTV is covering the race? They didn't last year

I don't think DSTV even knows if DSTV is covering it.

Looks like we will have to contend with Tiz cycling to enjoy the beautiful carnage of the white roads.

“I think just a bit more relaxed [on the gravel] than the other guys are, and able to carry a little bit more speed, but for sure going to need the legs to position well. I think the effort here is quite similar to mountain bike. It's kind of rolling hills, punchy, so I think it suits me well, and, fingers crossed I'm recovered and have a good day.”

- Alan Hatherly, recovering from recent illness, hoping for the Australian-based team based to combine well.

What incredible live footage and production value from the Tuscan hills. 

Demi Vollering and Anna vdB begin their promised duel that will last throughout the Women's WorldTour for the next few seasons. As her former coach, Anna is demonstrating her greatness early on after 3 years out of the sport. Unfortunately, several crashes on the dry loose gravel cost key racers like Kasia (recent gravel rainbow jersey) their chance to show off their hard work. PFP bringing in 3rd place for her Dutch-based team indicates that she is getting used to the WorldTour stage.

Two weeks to Milan San-Remo, including the Women's MSR too.

Can the rainbow jersey recover from his very eina high speed slide and resume his superb form. Teammate Wellens in 3rd after doing tons of domestique duty is one of the rides of the day, alongside Ineos's Connor Swift, Pidcock and the remarkable Pogaçar.

As a 3 time winner, he will have a gravel segment named after him. He is the first to, I think, win in succession and he is the first rainbow jersey to win this brutal and beautiful race.
