The European Spring Classics are already taking place in the current calendar of world cycling where specialists in this type of 1-day competitions seek to make their most outstanding presentation perhaps of the first part of the season with their teams.
This time the squads are preparing to send their best assets to the Belgian Flecha Brabanzona 2022 competition where 205.1 kilometers will be covered between Leuven and Overijse, which will also have several slopes that will make the race very tough, as the pace of this type of competition is usually high throughout the day thanks to the fact that it is only a single day to succeed there a year.
The 62nd edition of the race was won in 2021 by young Englishman from the Ineos Grenadiers Tom Pidcock on Wout van Aert from Jumbo Visma and the Italian from UAE Team Emirates, Matteo Trentin. This time Pidcock will arrive to defend his crown, at least on Trentin since the Van Aert team will not attend as can be seen on the specialized page on cycling ProCyclingStats.
Among the favorites for this Wednesday are the 62nd edition of the Belgian classic, the world champion Julian Alaphilippe of the Quick Step Alpha Vinil and Remco Evenepoel of the same team.
Both will be a pair to consider during the course, but Ineos will be helped by experienced riders such as the recent champion of the Dutch classic Amstel Gold Race, Michael Kwiatkowski from Poland and Laurens De Plus, who would be two of Tom Pidcock's 6 squires.
Likewise, the Colombian quota is set by the UAE Team Emirates with the Boyacán Sebastián Molano, who will go as Gregario of Trentin, Johnatan Cañaveral with Bardiani CSF, the young Risaraldena will guard Enrico Bataglin in the face of victory and finally Winner Anacona receives the call from his team Arkea Samsic who will return to take care of Frenchman Warren Barguil.
Colombian cyclists have been the protagonists of the competitions that are being played in Europe these days, as they have not only served as gregarious in their teams, but they have also shown themselves as the capos in them winning overall rankings as Nairo Quintana has done so far with Arkea Samsic since the beginning of season on the Tour de la Provence and the Tour of the Alpes-Maritimes.
The Antioquian Sergio Higuita also stood out with his new team Bora Hansgrohe from Germany winning the National Road Championship in Colombia, winning stage 5 of the Vuelta al Algarve in Portugal and the final overall of the Vuelta a Catalunya 2022 in addition to the best young man's shirt and the mountain standings.
Finally Daniel Felipe Martínez closes so far the list of coffee cyclists who have left the country's name high in the most important competitions of the old continent, managing to raise their arms in the overall Vuelta al País Basque 2022 and the regularity shirt in addition to a stage.
