Summary
First, Lionel Birnie, Daniel Friebe and Richard Moore discuss Strade Bianche, a race that grows in prestige, and in fans' affections, each year. Was this edition the best yet?
And from Paris-Nice, Richard and François Thomazeau convene over a beer in Gien to review the stage three time trial and to look ahead to the rest of the race. There are interviews with stage winner Stefan Bissegger, race favourite Primoz Roglic and lead-out man par excellence, Michael Morkov.
Our slow radio segment comes from the white roads of Tuscany, thanks to Lizzy Banks.

| 0:38.0 | and we'll be talking about what's been going on here. Oh, tight corner after the time trial. |
| 0:44.0 | Before that, I'm going to be joining up remotely with Daniel Freib and Lionel Baranise to talk mainly about |
| 0:50.0 | Strada Bianca, but also a bit about Pioneys as well. But lots of tongue points from |
| 0:55.0 | Tascanay and the phenomenal performance by Matthew Vander Poe and a great race. |
| 1:00.0 | So we'll be talking about that in the first part of this week's podcast. |

| 1:36.0 | Well, that was podcast listener Steve Nichols from New Zealand, who says he couldn't help but |
| 1:41.0 | come up with a song, the song that we've just heard during his morning commute. |
| 1:46.0 | We'll play out with the full version there, but Daniel, what did you think? |
| 1:49.0 | Well, this small lapsus has been a bigger story than Megan and Harry. |
| 1:54.0 | He's all I can say. And like Piers Morgan, I might have to flounce off at some point. |
| 1:59.0 | Don't be diabolical, Daniel. No, an extraordinary submission from Steve. |
| 2:06.0 | It obviously picks up the story of Pavel Sivikov and his aborted mission to the moon, |
| 2:13.0 | or his never was mission to the moon. I thought Siv might do well on the lunar light |
