Summary
JB Hager, Johan Bruyneel, and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter break down this weekend’s non-stop top-level racing, from Lennert van Eetvelt’s final-climb attack to take an upset overall win at the UAE Tour, to Visma’s masterclass at the pair of Cobbled Classic openers Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne, Jonas Vingegaard’s dismantling of the competition for the second-straight year at O Gran Camiño, and UAE’s sweep of the hilly one-day races in southern France. Outside of showing how the sport's top two teams are likely to continue, or even expand, their dominance of the sport, they discuss and debate what these results mean for the bigger races looming in the near future.

| 0:00.0 | Disappointment for the team UAE, you know, they, they would definitely unlock you with the |
| 0:04.5 | crash of Adam Yates. That was for sure their leader. That was for sure the designated guy to |
| 0:10.3 | win. I mean, those two uphill finishes are like his backyard. You know, that's what he specializes |
| 0:16.5 | in. Welcome to the Move podcast. I'm J.B. Hager, and I'm just going to tell you, we're right now just strap into your seat because we're going to cover a lot. |
| 0:30.2 | Fortunately, I'm joined by two of the smartest people in cycling that know so much. Spencer Martin is here and Johann Berniel. And we're |
| 0:39.0 | going to cover a lot today. There's so much. I was thinking about it. And later in the show, |
| 0:44.2 | I do want to ask you, Johan, about what that's like juggling so many races all around the globe, |
| 0:50.6 | basically for a team and a team manager must be overwhelming. |
| 0:59.9 | But let's, just for the sake of keeping our heads straight, let's start with the UAE tour. |
| 1:01.4 | All right. |
| 1:01.6 | Let's, let's jump right into that. |
| 1:03.6 | Why don't you give us the broad overview, Spencer? |
| 1:07.3 | And then we do have some things to dig deep into on the UAE tour. |
| 1:11.6 | Yeah, we'll let the UAE tour be our North Star as we're trying to navigate this insane |
| 1:17.6 | week of racing. I mean, I'm in early season four myself, not as fit as I thought. I start Saturday |
| 1:23.1 | morning, four races on. I'm up. I'm standing for all of them doing push-ups at 5.30 in the morning, getting ready. And then by this morning, I was so tired just races on. I'm up. I'm standing for all of them doing pushups at 5.30 in the morning, |
| 1:28.2 | getting ready. And then by this morning, I was so tired just laying on the couch with my |
| 1:32.7 | screens close to me. I couldn't even get close to the TV to watch up close. But we'll work |
| 1:39.4 | backwards on the UA tour, just so we're not walking through stuff that happened a week ago. But |
| 1:43.1 | Saturday was a sprint stage. Tim Merlier on Sudol Quicksup now, came over from Alpison, DeKonik, Phoenix, whatever it was when he was there, wins in like a supremely powerful sprint. I don't know if anyone saw these numbers, Vellon releases, these sprint numbers after the fact. And it was like these sprints at UA tour, |
| 2:02.0 | I was saying in the pre-show, |
