2024 looks set to be a key season for many in the peloton. In particular, a number of the Classics talents are in the final year of their contract and could be on the move before long.

For this reason, we have decided to compile a list of the top 9 classics that, right now, would become free agents at the end of the current campaign, with names like Oier Lazkano, Jan Tratnik, Laurence Pithie, Jhonatan Narváez and Alberto Bettiol.

Many of these, such as Lazkano and Pithie have been heavily rumoured to other teams but with no official announcements as of yet, they are included on the list. Take a look at who we've named and let us know where you think they'll end up and if there is anyone notable we've missed!
