A LEADOUT

The 41st edition of Clasica San Sebastian will be held on the 30th July 2022 and it is part of the Velogames superclassico competition.  More than just circuit race, it is an event for many riders. The first part of the 224 km is a flat terrain where breakaways try their best to make it to an unlikely finish. The second part is where all the steep climbs lie and the race shapes up. The peloton is expected to gradually thin out until the last 3 climbs where multiple attacks are expected. Sprinters, descenders, solo riders will all try to have formulate things to their way. The Jaizkibel is the first step of the finale. Peaking with 60 km to go, it could be the platform for a secondary break-away which if strong enough could trap the main favourites. The penultimate climb contains a punishing mid-segment. Classified as 1st category, the Erlaitz crests with still 40 km to go. Some brave and strong solo rider can have a go from here. An attack from Remco Evenepoel will happen here and will

Designed like a cyclo-cross circuit, it is very unlikely to go down to a bunch sprint. Unlike Criterium du Dauphine and Tour de Suisse, the Dwars Door Het Hageland race offers a different but interesting cycling course with unpaved strips and cobblestones.  Previous Winners 2021: Rasmus Tiller 2020: Jonas Rickaert 2019: Kenneth Vanbilsen 2018: Krists Neilands Result Dwars door het Hageland 2021 1.

Brussels Cycling Classic If it is on Velogames, it means that it matters! The 18th leg of the Super-classico is actually an interesting race. After Remco's win last year, the course has changed slightly this time.  Stage Overview The riders will face a total of 10 climbs along 203 km. The climbing starts after 50 km with the Rue du Croiseau. The last 100 km is exciting and packed with a double circuit, including three climbs: Muur-Bosberg duo followed by the Congoberg.  The last climb is the Heiligekruiswegstraat at 13 km from the finish line.   Last year Remco took the win following a solo effort with Aime De Gendt and Tosh Van der Sande completing the podium.   The Contenders      Initially on the start list, Biniam Girmay was the big favorite everyone was looking up to. Unfortunately he will not be taking place in this classic stage this year.        Quick Step Alpha Vinyl came in with  Davide Ballerini  but they will have to face their brilliant Belgian rival Intermarché Want
