Summary

In the first of two episodes this week, Richard, Lionel and Daniel look back at Paris-Nice and Tirreno Adriatico, the stage races in France and Italy respectively won by the Slovenian superstars, Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar.

Roglič’s performance in the ‘Race to the Sun’ ended up throwing up as many questions as answers, though in the end he did win – and that, as Lionel points out, is the crucial fact.

In Italy, Pogačar continued his utterly dominant start to the season with a performance that only really suggested one question – what can Pogačar not win?

Whether he will win Milan-Sanremo is the question we will turn to in the other episode due out later this week as we preview the first monument of the season.
