    Tadej Pogačar was across the headlines again in April, a month that brought the world champion's Paris-Roubaix debut, and his bid for an Ardennes treble. Still, as they reflect on this year's Spring Classics, the Toms turn to shout about other names. Among them are Kim Le Court, Africa's first Monument winner, the unexpected Mattias Skjelmose, and everybody's favourite jogger, Mark Cavendish. It is also explained why Julian Alaphilippe is cycling's Michael Owen, before suspense builds towards an exciting upcoming Italian meet-up. Music: Acid Trumpet by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3340-acid-trumpet License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

    The world champion has dominated the headlines over the past month – crashing, winning, finishing third at Milan-San Remo and signing up for his debut Paris-Roubaix. The Toms look back on all the cycling in March, asking whether the Classics have become more dangerous, if Lorena Wiebes deserves more credit as one of the all-time greats, and if Matthew Brennan's nickname really is the 'Binman' (spoiler: it's not). They then cast their predictions for the upcoming cobbled Monuments – the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix – where Tom 2 believes Mathieu van der Poel will fire blanks.
