Breaking Down The Cobbled Classics Opening Weekend
Johan Bruyneel, George Hincapie, and Spencer Martin break down the big picture takeaways from the opening weekend of Cobbled Classics racing, where Søren Wærenskjold unexpectedly won Saturday's Omloop Nieuwsblad, and Jasper Philipsen and his dominant Alpecin-Deceuninck took victory the following day at Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne. In addition to dissecting how the races were won, the crew debates what to make of the disappointing showings from the sport's two top teams, UAE and Visma, and how much we should read into their opening weekend underperformance.
