If you follow what happening in the world of PelotonTales blogfamily, you might be familiar with the news that as part of My last road cycling season project I created the Cycling Monuments 2025 sub-site.
Monuments are the five most prestigious one-day races, and I like to write about them very much, but there are also other one-day events, popular, intriguing ones worth spending time with them as a content creator.
Because the beforementioned “my last road cycling season” means I don’t intend to pay attention to the actual events in the future (only for some of my long time projects related to road cycling history put in a broader sociocultural context) I feel it right that
for the very last time
I write about those other one-day races too. Not about each of them, but about those selected ones I’m glad to be involved for the last time.
So, the first Monument of the year will be Milano-Sanremo on 22 March 2025, but before that, among some others,
Omloop Het Nieuwsblad (1 March 2025)
will be held too.
If you click on the links below, it will bring you to an overview page about that particular race, and you will find among many usefull facts and other key infos, also my explanation why I picked that particular race, despite not being a Monument, for this special project.
As I wrote it in the introduction of the project:
I never made a secret of it that I, for many reasons, like one-day races more than grand tours. As a content creator I have been always aware that with writing about Tour de France I reach far more people than with writing about the Spring Classics. I regret that I was not enough stubborn in this case for so many years.
Let’s see how far I can go to fullfill my promise to do this stuff properly for the last time.
