Mathieu van der Poel and Demi Vollering claim victories at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, kicking off the spring classics with a bang. Matthew Brennan secures a strong win at Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne after a crash the day before. The focus shifts to bike tech as classics evolve. The era of dedicated classics machines for races like Roubaix fades, with an intriguing shift in equipment choices. Notably, pro bikes feature significant headset spacers, with many riders opting for 10 to 30 millimeters, a stark contrast to previous years. While 165mm crank arms are still prevalent, the migration to longer arms hasn't fully taken off. New products are on the horizon, but for now, expect these trends to shape the classics tech landscape this spring. The cycling world watches closely as teams adapt to the demands of these prestigious races.
