A whistle-stop tour of the last week in cycling, taking one lesson from each of the countries that’ve hosted men’s cycling.
In Belgium we learned that an armchair ride matters
I suppose that we didn’t really learn that. We also didn’t really see that. Still, it is worth a quick look at how each of the Belgian races was won, and how fresh the winner was, comparatively. Davide Ballerini spent much of the day in the front selection being well looked-after by Stybar and Alaphilippe (who served as both a super-domestique and a hare up the road, which is quite the performance) before being beautifully led out for a dominating win at Omloop.
Opening Weekend Power Poll

So, there I was, minding my own business on a quiet Thursday evening, when from the back of our darkest cupboard, I heard a knocking.
Reader, I wish I could tell you it was just a poltergeist. No such luck.
Hey.. Engelsman. Engelsman. Hey! ENGELSMAN. BEER AND CYCLING. SATURDAY IS GO TIME.
Just like that, my peaceful evening was wrecked. Here, then, is one man’s ranking of the top cobbles squads for the duration of the 2021 classics season, with some thoughts on their chances for opening weekend thrown in for good measure. Oh, and podium predictions.

Estonian cyclist Martin Laas (Bora-Hansgrohe) started his competition season with a third-place finish in the one-day Clasica de Almeria on Sunday.
The road race, taking cyclists from Puebla de Vicar to Roquetas de Mar, was won by Giacomo Nizzolo (Team Qhubeka Assos), followed by Florian Senechal (Deceuninck-Quick-Step) and the 27-year old Estonian Martin Laas. The race was hard, I felt it would be a group finish, but there was a small sidewind danger on the final lap and that made things more nervous, Laas said post-race.
