Van der Poel turned up to Omloop Het Nieuwsblad for the first time in his career - and won it alone. Matthew Brennan became only the second British man to win Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne. Demi Vollering outduelled Kasia Niewiadoma on the Muur. Opening Weekend delivered.

Bram and Ethan review both Belgian races in full, look at what the form lines tell us ahead of the Classics, and preview Le Samyn - where Wout van Aert makes his season debut on Belgian roads - and Strade Bianche, where Tadej Pogačar chases a record fourth win on a race that now has a gravel sector named after him.

Our full previews of Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico will be available on domestiquecycling.com
