The

Oh, Well, welcome everyone. We're here again, life in the Peloton. I'm sitting here with Lionel Bernie to introduce the next episode up in store for you. Welcome, Lionel.

Hi, Mitch. How you going? I'm doing well, mate. I'm excited. I'm very excited. There's so much good racing happening at the moment. We're right in the middle of the classics. I'm not up there in Belgium at the moment. I've still got Roubaix coming and I'm training for that. That is my pinnacle. But I'm for once first time of my career sitting back and watching

the classics and i tell you what it's been so good the first couple of races so far yeah the

races have been fantastic Mitch and well we can mark this time of year with this type of podcast

can't we because it's uh tried and tried and tested one. It's you and your old mate, Luke

Durbridge, talking all things classics. And I mean, I could listen to this kind of stuff until

the cows come home, really. That's why I love talking to Durbo. I want to have an annual,

and he is one of my good mates, and I love talking to him on the podcast, because I really

sometimes forget that we're

recording and you're probably going to gather that sometimes me sort of giving him ribbon him a little

bit and talking about the classics and talking about these little ins and outs and sometimes

I forget that sometimes we're talking a little bit personal and people might know what we're

talking about so you have to excuse me I hope you can understand everything we're sort of chatting about. And I wanted to pick his brain because the first two races, E3 and Gentwivelgum, they happened last week. And it were awesome. And I wanted to sort of talk about that right in the middle of the classics, a guy who's right up there in Belgium and what's to come and get that feeling, that vibe, because the last one we're at the classics was just a couple of months ago in lockdown, sort of the end of last year, and now we're back there. We're back in the spring. The spring classics are happening, and it's exciting. You can hear it in my voice. I'm excited. So sit back and listen to this one. I loved recording it with Derbo.

There's an awesome talking luft coming up with him.

It's talking luft times two.

So that's funny too.

I finished the night recording with him,

laughing myself to sleep.

So guys, sit back and enjoy this one.

Maybe grab a beer if you can because it's beer worthy.

Enjoy. All right, well here we are. It's our yearly check-in. I'm back talking to Luke Derridge. This time he's up in Belgium. I'm back at home, but we can still talk classics. Gide, mate. Welcome to the pod.
