Fantasy Cycling: our Spring Classics winners

Who won what from Milan to Liege...

The Spring Classics seem a long time ago now, don't they? For a start, it's actually spring outside now. But we haven't rounded up who won what in the Fantasy Spring Classics, so this is us putting that right.

And what a performance from makiavelli. His Domestique Dis Turbans purist team trounced all and sundry, finishing on 832 points, just ahead of serial podium-botherer robacairns and 2013 sensation Wig_Billy. 118 points a race, that is, in the Spring Classics which are notoriously difficult to predict. And that's with picking just one team to cover all the cobbled classics, and another for the Ardennes races. Some feat.

So it's makiavelli who's the happy recipient of a swanky new Garmin Edge 510, and he also hoovers up the purist prize of Ben Swift's water bottle.

Second place man robacairns gets a Lezyne Carbon Pressure Drive M pump, and Wig_Billy nets himself some Knog Boomer rechargeable lights. Handy.

There's also socks to hand out to the individual race winners. and they go to:

Milan - San Remo: Headless Chickens (Headless Chicken)
Gent - Wevelgem: veloraptors (pkirkbright)
Ronde van Vlaanderen: Sean Kelly's Rear Wheel (andynic) - on a coin toss
Paris - Roubaix: thegunshopmen (thegunshopman)
Amstel Gold Race: Dirtx (Dirtx)
Fleche Wallonne: velvet lungers (mattpool)
Liege - Bastogne - Liege: robgruschke (robgruschke)

Enter the Giro for more chances to win!

Don't forget the Giro d'Italia starts in a few days and you could win a Bianchi bike, a Bryton GPS, Birzman pumps, Limar helmets, road.cc socks and more! Check out the prize list here, there's over £1,500 of kit up for grabs!
