You know the cobbled classics, but what about the Ardennes Classics with Amstel Gold Race, Flèche Wallonne, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège? And who's won all three of them – or the Ardennes Triple? It's worth exploring especially after Tadej Pogacar's recent wins.

Can Tadej Pogacar (UAE Team Emirates) do it? Win the Flèche Wallonne on Wednesday en route to Liège-Bastogne-Liège after claiming the Tour of Flanders and the Amstel Gold Race?

Four-time champion Chris Froome's Israeli team Israel Premier Tech and Uno-X of Norway complete the line-up for this year's Tour de France after organizers issued invites as wild cards to compete on Wednesday.

La Vuelta a España is often one of the most competitive and unpredictable races to wrap the grand tour stretch for 2022. Whether coming back from injury like Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) or Julian Alaphillipe, or pros seeking their first grand tour victory like Michael Woods (Israel – Premier Tech), one thing racing fans may count on is an exciting three weeks of racing in the ever changing weather and steep slopes around Spain.

The Tour de France is the pinnacle of professional road cycling and a sport that is, at its core, a very European affair. For a rider to infiltrate cycling's elite ranks from nations outside Europe represents years of hard work, discipline and sacrifice, while often isolated from family and friends.

Four-time winner Chris Froome was named on Wednesday in Israel Premier-Tech's team for next month's Tour de France.

Tadej Pogacar will take on the world in Sunday's Liège-Bastogne-Liège in Belgium. The two-time Tour de France champion of UAE Team Emirates is back to defend his title on the heels of a stunning Tour of Flanders ride.

The 2019 and 2020 editions of the Tour de France were won by two of the youngest riders in the history of the race. Tadej Pogacar and Egan Bernal are at the forefront of a new generation of young cyclists which are continually raising the bar and upsetting the established favorites. The 2021 Tour de France will be another battle between the dynamic youth and the experienced establishment.

Chris Froome says he will help Israel Start-Up Nation leader Michael Woods in the same manner he himself was helped as he won the Tour de France four times on his return after a two-year gap.

Die-hard cycling fans live for the epic three weeks of racing that engulfs France every summer. The biggest race in cycling, also happens to be one of the biggest sporting events in the world and is enjoyed by far more people than just hardcore cycling fans.
