April Cycling Thread
Sunday sees the riders tackle the hell of the north, Paris - Roubaix. Boonen out, Cancellara in red hot form, Segan being a naughty boy, who's going to win?
The Tour of the Basque country (Vuelta Ciclista al Pais Vasco) is currently lead by Gavazzi of Astana leading the GC and Orica-GreenEdge's Simon Gerrans winning stage 1 and Daryl Impey winning stage 2. All GC contenders well placed as the race hits the mountains.
Marianne Vos won the one major race that has evaded her at the Tour of Flanders on Sunday. Unwittingly, this win, paired win Sagan's antics on the podium has sparked a debate about sexism in cycling.
Laura Trott finished fourth in her first professional road race at GP de Dottignies.
After Paris - Roubaix on Sunday, we have a packed week of classics;
April 14th - Amstel Gold
April 17th - Fleche Wallonne
April 21st - Liege - Bastogne - Liege
And then it's the build up to the Giro d'Italia.
