There was equally as much excitement about their so-called 'secret weapon', the Gravaa adaptable tyre system, that Pauline Ferrand-Prévot deployed to great success as she ran out victorious in Saturday's Paris-Roubaix Femmes.

Michiel Mouris (Grenke-Auto Eder) won this year's Paris-Roubaix Juniors on a solo effort in the 22nd edition of the one-day race. From a large chasing group of 15 riders, which hit the first lap of the Vélodrome André-Pétrieux as the Dutch rider raised his arms in celebration, Ashlin Barry (Team USA) out-kicked Mikita Babovich (Cannibal-Victorious U19 Devo) to complete the podium.

Earlier this year, we shared an in-depth feature on the sport's 'speed evolution' as greater investment and more data-led analysis into technology, training, and overall performance has seen average speed records tumble at several major races.

Spoilt for choice: that's how we're feeling as March turns to April and the Spring Classics continue to deliver enthralling storylines at every turn and cobbled climb. With three Monuments in the space of a month, we're struggling to put our finger on what we're most excited about, although Tadej Pogačar's debut at Paris-Roubaix is particularly mouthwatering.
