It's been two weeks since our last relegation watch, and the team to watch is once again XDS Astana, who shrugged off a bit of a March slump and put themselves back on track for remaining in the WorldTour. The team came into the season in a dismal 21st place in the 2023-2025 UCI Team Rankings. The promotion/relegation system determines which teams meet the sporting criteria of being in the top 18 to earn a WorldTour licence for the next cycle from 2026-2028.

A late change in the weather forecast for Paris-Roubaix could well now see dry, warm conditions for both races this weekend, although overnight rain showers could render the cobblestones more slippery for the men's event on Sunday. Earlier this week wet conditions had been forecast for Sunday's Paris-Roubaix, but that has now changed to expectations of much drier weather during the race itself, with any rain only falling on Saturday night.

Wout van Aert completed his Paris-Roubaix reconnaissance on Thursday, riding 130 kilometres from the start of the first sector of pavé in Troisville to sector 11 in Mons-en-Pévèle. The Belgian had a wild ride on the Arenberg Forest sector, nearly crashing after suffering a puncture. Luckily, Van Aert has excellent bike handling skills and managed to use a cyclocross-style kick-push to right himself and veer off of the pavé and onto the walking path before rolling to a stop.

Tim Merlier (Soudal-Quickstep) continued to establish himself as the fastest sprinter in the pro peloton in 2025, handily out-sprinting Jasper Philipsen (Alpecin-Deceuninck) to win the Scheldeprijs for the second year in a row. Matteo Moschetti (Q36.5) finished third. A massive crash sparked by Merlier's teammate with 12km to go fractured the peloton, leaving only a few dozen riders in contention. While Lidl-Trek led the way in for Edward Theuns, he was swamped as Philipsen opened up the sprint.
