The 2025 Spring Classics season kicked off with significant races in Flanders, featuring both men's and women's categories. Early competitions like Omloop Het Nieuwsblad highlighted the performance of the men's Classics superteam Visma-Lease a Bike, which was noted to be underwhelming compared to the previous years. The events have set the stage for anticipation leading up to major prizes like the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix. Insights from riders like Jasper Philipsen point to changes in team dynamics and competitive aggressiveness as key talking points.
"It's also clear that UAE and Visma were not as aggressive as we've seen in the last year. Of course, they were there, but not better than the others," Philipsen pointed out.
"The first cobbled races of 2025 brought up plenty of talking points, from the form of Classics superteam Visma-Lease a Bike in the men's races to the new landscape of power among the women's peloton."
