It’s almost May, which means the Spring Classics are over, and it’s time for the Giro d’Italia, the Tour, and the hot days of summer.
But let’s take a look at some of the incredible moments from the 2025 Spring Classics.

Granted, the world champion was dropping some pretty inferior riders—just total losers like Mathieu van der Poel, Mads Pedersen, and Wout van Aert. Guys who are basically the Cat 3s of the pro peloton.
Still, some impressive riding from the promising Slovenian. He may be going places.
Honourable mention: Pogačar, riding in his first Paris-Roubaix, had a terrific performance, finishing second despite a crash. The world champion went down on the Pont-Thibault à Ennevelin sector with less than 40 km to go, allowing Mathieu van der Poel to ride solo to victory. Still, it was a strong result for the first defending Tour de France champion to race the Hell of the North since Greg LeMond in 1991.
