Mathieu van der Poel won the most money out of everyone in the spring classics - Pogacar and Pidcock among top earners

Throughout the past two months we have had a lot of action in the spring classics, all the way from Omloop Het Nieuwsblad to Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Mathieu van der Poel only began his season at Milano-Sanremo, but was the rider who earned the most money through results in the one-day races.

Sporza has made the math and at the top of the chart is, without surprise, the winner of the Tour of Flanders, Paris-Roubaix and E3 Saxo Classic. With podium results at Gent-Wevelgem and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the World champion van der Poel was the highest earner throughout the spring classics. The only rider who came close was his own teammate Jasper Philipsen who won Milano-Sanremo and Classic Brugge-De Panne, and finished second in Paris-Roubaix.
