To me, it's been a dull season so far. Mathieu van der Poel has won 3 big races with 40+ km solo's, which made those races much less exciting to watch. These were the least interesting Ronde van Vlaanderen and Paris - Roubaix I watched since I've become a cycling watcher about 30 years ago. Tadej Pogacar did the same in Strade Bianche. La Flèche Wallone was decimated by the weather and then there was the disaster pile up in Itzulia Basque with 3 of the 4 best GC riders. Now in Giro d'Italia, it was to be expected that Pogacar would dominate, with so little true contenders dressing up. Milano - Sanremo was fun to watch, and some other smaller races. To me own surprise, I think I've enjoyed the women's races a bit more because so far...
