Summary

Rapha presents Talking Luft! Luke (Durbo) Durbridge has been on Talking Luft before – both 1.0 and 2.0, so this week it’s Talking Luft 3.0 – and I had something a little different lined up for him. It’s Cobbled Classics time, he’s up in Holland getting ready for Paris-Roubaix & I thought I’d test his knowledge on the race & a whole lot more. Can he name 5 Paris–Roubaix cobbled sectors? Does he know how many metres the Roubaix velodrome is? Who was best known in the peloton for the cut-off casquette? Most importantly, I ask him questions about the history of cap style, bikes & beers, plus I throw him some scenarios that aren’t too far from what might happen out on a training ride. It's another week of laughs, because let’s be honest, I really just could chat to him all day. If you haven’t listened to our Classics episode from last week, it’s the perfect warm up for Paris-Roubaix this weekend. For now, enjoy this bit of fun, something completely different to our usual Talking Luft. How do you score against Durbo?

Theme Music The theme music for Life in the Peloton was composed by Pete Shelley, who was lead singer of the punk band Buzzcocks. It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4’s coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show. Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete’s widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton. To hear more about the music, listen to the Andre Greipel episode of Life in the Peloton.

1:00.1	or you don't have to play the game.
1:01.5	And what I mean by that,
1:02.6	like some leaders take the risk of not using the energy
1:06.1	and just sitting back in the peloton,
1:07.9	but there may be a crash and they may be caught behind it,
1:10.7	or they
1:11.9	put their team on the front and butcher them into that sector to make sure that they are safe
1:18.5	for as long as possible. So, you know, I was boxing on with Popachar into the first cobble section,
1:23.9	like trying to get one wheel in front, and this guy's going on to win the bike race
