About

The Cycle Seen is the cycling scene as seen by me, an every day fan standing at the side of the road watching, or on the road riding, or as is often the case, in the armchair in front of the television. Focusing mostly on the men's professional road side of things, I still delve into other areas of the sport and from time-to-time recount my own experiences and memories from the road bike and mountain bike.

Using the 14 major spring classic races from Omloop through to Liège including the 4 Monuments, the points format takes on that of F1 (25pts for 1st down to 1pt for 10th) and each race is equal regardless of race status.)
