Summary
Remco Evenepoel comes fresh from victory at the Volta ao Algarve but is taking on a stage race on French soil for the first time in his career. Meanwhile Primož Roglič looks to open his account for his new team, BORA-hansgrohe, at a race he won in 2022. We discuss the expectations of both riders and hear from experienced Australian Jack Haig on what makes Paris-Nice a race of singular difficulty.
Of course we also tackle the weekend's big talking point, namely the exploits of another one of the Big Four, or should that be the Super Six: Tadej Pogačar at Strade Bianche. Daniel and Richard hear from Pog's former teammate Matteo Trentin and digest an 81km solo victory that will undoubtedly go down as one of one of his greatest hits.

| 0:00.0 | You are listening to the cycling podcast. Hello and |
| 0:25.0 | welcoming you after a long weekend in professional cycling when |
| 0:29.0 | Yonus Vingagar and his Vismel Lisa Bike teammates premiered |
| 0:32.0 | a TT helmet design, apparently modeled on promo posters |
| 0:35.6 | for the Jaws movie franchise. And the clear message from Tade Poggachar at Strade Bianca was that everyone |
| 0:41.8 | racing him this year is going to need a bigger boat. |
| 0:45.1 | My name is Daniel Freib, I'm the host of this episode of the Cycling Podcast in which we will be country hopping |
| 0:50.9 | from Italy to France and back again, race hopping from Stralle Bianca to Parnese |
| 0:56.3 | maybe with a stop at Treno Adriatico as well and tense hopping from the past to the future |
| 1:02.1 | and perhaps even the present. It is going to be an |
| 1:04.7 | unusual episode because it's being recorded in several chunks, tranches at |
| 1:10.8 | different moments and to help me hopefully negotiate the labyrinthine timings that I'm trying to negotiate today. |
| 1:21.0 | And it is Young Richard Abraham, who's with me in person on Parignyce and well |
| 1:27.1 | Richard what a palatial setting what an opulent. The Marshals Hotel in Ozair. |
| 1:31.6 | Yeah and it probably was quite palatial and once |
| 1:34.7 | it's somewhat faded now. Yeah. You commented earlier that we seem to be |
| 1:40.2 | or we're being overlooked by a sort of churubic portrait of a young boy who perhaps once looked |
| 1:48.6 | like Tade Pugach or once looked like him. |
| 1:52.4 | Like him. |
| 1:53.0 | Yeah, what a setting it is. |
| 1:55.0 | A very Pyrenees, very becoming of Pyrenees, the start of Pyrenees, the first three days. |
| 2:01.0 | Traditionally now we spend them in the Parisian suburbs, the Evelyn area of Paris and it's generally pretty cold. |
