Hello, my name's Richard Moore. I am not this week on Forksey with Lionel Bernie in person,

but I am joined by him virtually. Hello Lionel. I'm virtually here, Richard.

The virtual Lionel Bernie. Between whatford?

The virtual and whatford. Almost as good as the real thing.

You're kind of virtually yourself these days Lionel. You're wearing some running kit at the moment.

Just another demonstration of the athlete that you are these days. But anyway, we're also joined by Daniel Freep. Hello, Daniel.

Hello, Daniel. Daniel in his Berlin Bolt Hall.

We've got lots to discuss today about the racing. We're going to hear from a couple of riders.

We're looking ahead to opening weekend this weekend in Belgium,

which is the start of the official season copyright Lionel Bernie.

Isn't that right Lionel? It is. That is absolutely right. Yes. It all gets underway on Saturday.

Doesn't it in Belgium? You're going to be there. Aren't you Richard? You're going to opening weekend.

I am. There might be a sense of normality about it again. I was going to say for the first time in a couple of years.

But actually two years ago, we did have a very normal opening weekend.

It was sort of while those races were going underway that we began to fear what might be coming Europe's way

because the UAE tour was going on at the time. And there were some Covid cases there and the race was stopped early.

But we were very blissful in our ignorance at the time. But last year was very different this year.

It's opening up again to the public. So it'll be interesting to see how head news by Gose and Saturday corner Brussels

on Sunday and then Lisam in next week as well. So lots, lots going on.

But what have we got coming up today, Daniel?
