Summary
Daniel Friebe is joined by former pro team manager and spin doctor Brian Nygaard and current AG2R Citroën ace Larry Warbasse. Having discussed the main headlines of the festive period, our not-so-clairvoyant trio hears from various other Cycling Podcast regulars, who this week provide their 2023 predictions for our deliberation. Can one nation really win all three Grand Tours in 2023? Or one team? And will the revelation of the next twelve months be a rookie who calls himself “Il Bandito”? Find out which galaxy brains are behind these and several other fanciful prognostications in the episode.
