Summary

Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch return to reflect on the Tour Down Under, where the climb up Willunga Hill once again proved decisive and some familiar faces from previous editions shone. To Daniel’s delight, the trio also look ahead to this weekend's cyclocross world championships in France, where Mathieu van der Poel is aiming for his seventh rainbow jersey. Health-permitting, Thibau Nys will be among MVDP’s challengers – and we hear from the precocious Belgian about his past, present and future.

0:00.0	Hello and joining you on January the 28th, the date celebrated according to some sources in some countries as National Have Fun at Work Day, but not, I can assure you, observed by this organisation.
0:27.4	My name is Daniel Freepin, and I will be the poker-faced host of this episode of the cycling podcast, in which we'll joylessly recap the last week in professional cycling and glumly contemplate what's to come. The perfect man to assist me in that endeavour is Lionel Burn.

1:18.6	That was nearly the intro. That was nearly the intro for today. Yeah. Hearing me. I know I'm
