Summary

In our second round of Arrivée podcasts of the 2023 season, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe get together to serve up their hot takes after a memorable edition of the Tour of Flanders. 

Could Mathieu van der Poel repeat his Milan-Sanremo heroics and thereby equal the career record of three Flanders wins? Would the home favourite Wout Van Aert finally add his name to the roll of honour of Vlaanderens Mooiste? What if Tadej Pogačar thwarted them both? Sunday afternoon would provide answers - and one the most entertaining races of recent years. 

The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.
