I realize the cycling season "began" three weeks ago with Omloop, but the first monument was today. And it was epic. Watch their faces, they were putting it all on the line.

I'm not going to spoil it, but the last thirty minutes of Milan-San Remo were riveting, with a deserving winner.

I'm thinking this Matthew Brennan kid might turn out to be pretty good.  Heartbreaking to see Del Grosso do all that work and then get reeled in at the very end by Brennan and Groves. 

Visma got themselves a good one, it appears.

I will be in Europe for at least a chunk of the summer and really want to see part of a race. Have friends (a Dallas couple) who live in Montpellier and I am thinking about trying to visit them to watch Le Tour pass through. 

I have been at the Place de la Concorde to watch the final day in Paris in 1997, but I haven’t watched it in the wild.

I hate that I'm not a better poster on this thread.  I watch most races on delay - at times, weeks later.  Just finished Paris/Nice.  We have some good American riders coming up.  Stage 8 

Spoiler

Had an American win the GC and another win the stage.

@Goofyboy some are on YouTube.  Most I'm finding are on Max and Peacock.  Pretty cool cause there are no commercials.  Just straight, multi hour coverage.

It's been a pretty interesting Spring for sure.

Epic weather conditions in Paris-Nice, and poor Jonas. A thrilling Milan San Remo for sure. Love watching that Tadej - we've come a long way since the Chris Froome 'stare at your powermeter' winner. That kid likes to race.

A wacky Volta Catalunya - several mountain stages ended with sprint finishes, with Primoz outside the top spot by a second. He was counting on a mountain stage which was neutralized due to wind (and won by Durango's Quinn Simmons, sporting the best mullet and Fu seen in the peloton for some time). What looked to be a ho-hum circuit around Barcelona ended up being a slug fest as Primoz and Ayuso went for spring bonus seconds. I didn't think Primoz, or Bora, had it in them, but his flyer at 20k to win it all was impressive.

Paris Roubaix should be a hoot with Tadej in it. Hoping for a good race and no injuries to late-season favorites...
