Okay, so if you’re not a follower of bike racing, this post may not be for you. But I’m writing it anyway. Believe it or not, for some folks, the Spring Classics are a bit like March Madness. On this side of the pond (not Payette Lake mind you), the Spring Classics may not be your cup of tea, but here’s a quick run-down of biggies from an American’s point of view anyway.

March 21: Milano-Sanremo – Won by Mark Cavendish (watch video clip of the finish)

April 5: Ronde van Vlaanderen/Tour of Flanders – Won by Stijn Devolder

April 12: Paris-Roubaix AKA ‘The Hell of the north’

April 19: Amstel Gold Race

April 26: Liège-Bastogne-Liège
