The Cycling Podcast

Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Tudor Pro Cycling’s Larry Warbasse are in the hotseats as we return to review the big talking points from another fascinating week in the world of pro cycling. 
Our men’s Arrivée episode at the weekend covered the key moments in Wout Van Aert’s redemptive victory in Paris-Roubaix. A few days later, with a visit to Coorevits Corner and Larry’s reflections, we dig into what we and also you at home may have missed on a Sunday in “Hell”. 
Daniel spent last week at Itzulia aka the Tour of the Basque Country. We get a flavour of that trip and a sense of what victory could mean for Paul Seixas and French cycling. We also touch on Primož Roglič’s struggles in Spain before looking ahead to the start of a new Classics swing this weekend.

Three very different Paris-Roubaix debutants share their stories in this month’s mini feature. We hear from long-time Classics stalwart Shirin Van Anrooij, youngest finisher Jente Koops and Alexis Magner who comes to the race after recovering from a life-threatening crash last season.
Before that, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Lizzy Banks discuss their big take-aways from the cobbled classics and how the current rider injury list might shape the Ardennes Classics to come.
We also delve into the decision by race organisers ASO to move the women’s Paris-Roubaix from Saturday to a shared slot with the men on the Sunday. And explore in what ways the race’s limited TV coverage could have wider ramifications for the sport.
Also on the agenda: Lizzy’s many goats, cyclist ribs on the barbecue and hold on, did Denny just quit?

As the roar of the velodrome subsides, Rose Manley and Denny Gray take you through this year’s edition of Paris-Roubaix Femmes. 
But who will become this year’s Queen of the Cobbles? Will reigning champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot reign again after her late call up? Could Lotte Kopecky and SD Worx make up for a lacklustre Classics season so far? Or might we all be in for a surprise in this most predictably unpredictable of races?
Also on the agenda: camembert wheels rankings and beautiful memories of kebab pizzas

The Cycling Podcast returns in perhaps the most eagerly anticipated week of the season, to look back in more detail at Sunday’s Tour of Flanders and ahead to Paris-Roubaix at the weekend. 
Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by former team manager and press chief Brian Nygaard as we reflect on the story that dominated the build-up to Flanders: Remco Evenepoel’s shock announcement that he would start for Redbull-BORA-hansgrohe after months of denials. Are the media entitled to feel upset at being misled, or is all ultimately fair in love and the war for eyeballs? 
We hear what Hugo Coorevits thinks, and also what’s on his mind ahead of the “Hell of the North”. Do only the redoubtable pavés of northern France stand between Tadej Pogačar and his next piece of history – or will Van der Poel, Van Aert et al. halt his march towards a Monument Grand Slam?
