Philipsen and Claes shine in recent cycling events, while British Cycling faces criticism over safety measures.

Jasper Philipsen delivered an impressive performance at Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne, clinching victory with a textbook sprint that sets the tone for his 2025 season. His win showcases his speed and tactical prowess, marking him as a rider to watch this year.

In the women`s category, Lotte Claes surprised many by taking the win at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Women. Claes capitalized on an early breakaway, while the pre-race favorites struggled to keep pace, demonstrating the unpredictable nature of cycling.

Meanwhile, British Cycling is under fire for implementing strict safety measures on smaller events, a move that some organizers argue could stifle the growth of the sport. The debate continues as stakeholders seek a balance between safety and accessibility.

As anticipation builds for the 2025 Tour de France, teams are eagerly awaiting clarity on wildcard invitations, which could significantly impact their season strategies. For cycling enthusiasts looking to participate in events, the UK offers a range of sportives, providing alternatives to the now-discontinued Ford Ride London.
