Summary
Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Tudor Pro Cycling’s Larry Warbasse are in the hotseats as we return to review the big talking points from another fascinating week in the world of pro cycling.
Our men’s Arrivée episode at the weekend covered the key moments in Wout Van Aert’s redemptive victory in Paris-Roubaix. A few days later, with a visit to Coorevits Corner and Larry’s reflections, we dig into what we and also you at home may have missed on a Sunday in “Hell”.
Daniel spent last week at Itzulia aka the Tour of the Basque Country. We get a flavour of that trip and a sense of what victory could mean for Paul Seixas and French cycling. We also touch on Primož Roglič’s struggles in Spain before looking ahead to the start of a new Classics swing this weekend.
