Podcasts about gent wevelgem

This week, James and Will chat to George Hincapie, the super-est of domestiques, double 'ard Classics man and erstwhile lieutenant to Lance Armstrong.George was born in Queens, New York City, on 29th June 1973, to cycling-mad Colombian dad, Ricardo. By twelve he was throwing elbows racing adults in Central Park, and by his teens he was showing the talent that would take him to the Olympics in 1992 and his first pro season, with Motorola, in 1994.At first a self-confessed bunch of American upstarts, Motorola morphed into one of the most formidable teams of the 90s and 2000s, US Postal. There, George forged his status as one of cycling's strongest and most dependable riders, supporting team leader Lance Armstrong as road captain and lieutenant across all seven of Armstrong's Tour wins – though of course that's wins in inverted commas.George retired from the pro peloton in 2012 after 19 seasons in which he started the Tour de France 17 consecutive times, finishing it 16 times and winning one team-time-trial stage. He also rode 50 Monuments including finishing second at Paris Roubaix and third at Tour of Flanders; he won Gent-Wevelgem in 2001; and was three-time US National Champ.Today, George is bringing all that experience to his new team, Modern Adventure Pro Cycling, with the express intention of giving young riders a shot at the big time while becoming 'the next great American team', who might one day compete in the Grand Tours. We spoke to George ahead of Paris-Roubaix, where Modern Adventure had the first big wildcard entry of its inaugural season.Our chat begins at 10.24-----------------This episode is brought to you by the Hammerhead Karoo GPS bike computer.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   Guys, as if you need me to tell you, we are deep in the heart of the Spring Classics. My favourite races…hell, EVERYONE'S favourite races. I've got myself across to the motherland, in amongst it in Belgium, to soak it all in.   I want to take you with me on the road and show you why these races are so special. This week is bigger than any one race - it's a part of the culture here in Belgium, and it's woven into their very DNA. Even people who don't ride get out there at the roadside and watch the classics race by. I want to peel back the layers and bring you along for the ride in a way that makes you think “Holy shit I have to get out there next year”.   I've been putting this episode together since I arrived last weekend, just in time for Gent Wevelgem or, as it's now called, In Flanders Fields - From Middlekerke to Wevelgem, and hitting record to capture all sorts of rider interviews, roadside atmosphere, across the whole week through Waregem until the big one; De Ronde Van Vlaanderen.   I spoke to some really important characters in the Spring Classic story -both old and new - across my week at the races. Young, up and coming talent like Laurence Pithie and Bob Donaldson, Belgian hero Dries de Bondt, and legends from generations gone by like Sep Vanmarcke and Luke Rowe. Not just the riders, there's an amazing cross section of fans from Belgian and beyond who have travelled out to the hallowed ground of Flanders to embrace it all.   From Wevelgem to Waregem, the Kemmelberg to the Kwaremont; this episode covers a lot of ground. Just like the Tour of Flanders itself, we twist and turn all over Belgium - covering bergs shoulder to shoulder with the classics riders who make these races so special.   Make no mistake, these races are hard. They're aggressive, chaotic, fast - they chew you up and spit you out. But, as a professional rider, I loved being a part of it. The noise of the crowd, the smell of the beer, and the passion of the Belgian fans right there on the roadside are something I'll never forget. I had to get in amongst it and see if it lived up to the hype. I'll tell you right now, it far exceeded it.   Crack yourself a Belgian beer - be it a light pilsner, a sturdy blonde, a dark dubbel, or the full tripel - make sure you pour it into the correct glass, and enjoy this Classics episode.     This episode is sponsored by JOIN Cycling and SHOKZ.   Train smarter with adaptive plans and efficient workouts.

(31.3.2026) Alpecin - Premier Tech má po E3 a Gent - Wevelgem dôvody na široký úsmev. Najprv lišiacky kúsok v poslednom kilometri v podaní Mathieua van der Poela a o dva dni neskôr víťazný šprint Jaspera Philipsena. Vzorec z víkendových pretekov je zreteľný. Pokiaľ to nevyjde MVDP v úniku, je za ním pripravený Philipsen do šprintu ako plán B. Táto úspešná taktika platí zatiaľ spoľahlivo, samozrejme v neprítomnosti Tadeja Pogačara.

Het Vlaamse voorjaar draait op volle toeren. De E3 en In Flanders Fields zitten erop en bij Alpecin-Premier Tech mochten ze alweer een vakje schrappen op hun voorjaarsbingo. De grote man? Mathieu van der Poel, die in de E3 doodleuk 460 watt uit de benen schudde voor zijn beste negentig minuten ooit. Twee dagen later betaalde hij daar een klein prijsje voor in een duotrip met Wout van Aert die een paar kilometer voor de meet strandde, al kon hij dan rekenen op ploegmaat Jasper Philipsen om de zegebloemen in de ploeg te houden.Onze gast van vandaag heeft het minder voor wattages, maar des te meer voor winnen. Niki Terpstra kent het Vlaamse voorjaar als zijn broekzak. Zo werd hij tweede in een legendarische Gent-Wevelgem en is hij lid van het exclusieve clubje dat zowel de Ronde van Vlaanderen als Parijs-Roubaix op zijn palmares heeft staan. Laat dat nu net de koersen zijn die eraan komen. Liggen de waardeverhoudingen vast, of krijgen we toch nog wat ouderwets Vlaams vuurwerk? Of heeft ploegleider Niki een plannetje achter de hand? Sinds 2025 zit Terpstra opnieuw bij Soudal-Quick-Step, terug waar het ooit allemaal begon. Daar ligt de focus eerst op Dwars door Vlaanderen, waar ze met goesting aan de start staan en het vertrouwen in Paul Magnier en Dylan van Baarle groot is.Komen verder aan bod: Raymond van het Groenewoud, poepzalf en het kapotte geweer van Jean-Marie Dedecker.Powered by Unibet Experts.00:00 Intro07:10 In 2011 ruilt Terpstra de koeienvlekken van Milram in voor the Wolfpack10:44 De terugkeer naar het oude nest in een nieuwe rol14:36 Gent-Wevelgem 2015: de mooiste koers die nooit gereden mocht worden20:09 Het geweer aan de start is kapot, maar toch is In Flanders Fields een schot in de roos30:19 Classic Mathieu van der Poel in de E3 Saxo Classic35:22 Kijkersvragen37:08 Red Bull kan het katje Jonas Vingegaard niet geselen in Catalonië45:54 Trivial Time!47:41 In Dwars door Vlaanderen wil Soudal Quick-Step snel de stap zetten naar een eerste zege in het klassieke voorjaar52:41 Op naar een spannende Ronde van Vlaanderen?1:03:37 Pronostieken en de Sporza Wielermanager1:07:16 Outro

Spencer Martin, George Hincapie, and Johan Bruyneel break down Jasper Philipsen's win at Gent-Wevelgem, the battle between Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel, and what it may foreshadow for the Tour of Flanders, as well as Jonas Vingegaard's dominant victory at the Volta a Catalunya. They discuss the key moments from both races, how chasing pelotons are getting better at reeling in dangerous moves, and, most importantly, whether there's anything anyone can do to stop Pogačar in the upcoming races.

Og så tager vi fat på E3 og Gent-Wevelgem (ja, vi kalder det stadig det). Mathieu van der Poels hattrick, hyænernes jagt på kongeløverne, Tobias Lunds imponerende 2. plads – og alle de observationer, vi har gjort os i endagsløbene i 2026 frem mod Flandern Rundt på søndag.

Een heerlijk koersweekend zit er weer op, met ook in Gent-Wevelgem weer veel spektakel. Wie in de finale de televisie aanzette waande zich even in een andere tijd. Mathieu van der Poel en Wout van Aert samen op kop, zoals het hoort eigenlijk. Voeg daar de poging van Segaert bij en het levert een schitterende koers op. Maar het peloton aarzelde deze keer geen moment en ging meteen samenwerken, waardoor de koers uiteindelijk toch in een massasprint eindigde. Benja, Tim en Frank over Gent-Wevelgem, Catalunya en alle laatste koersnieuwtjes. Kom zondag de Ronde van Vlaanderen LIVE kijken met ons! Tickets via deze link!

Hoewel iedereen nog een beetje moet wennen aan de nieuwe naam, werd zondag de eerste editie van Gent-Wevelgem nieuwe stijl verreden. Officieel In Flanders Fields - From Middelkerke to Wevelgem, maar afgekort tot In Flanders Fields, leverde zowel bij de mannen als de vrouwen een sprint op. Bij de, tot velen teleurstellend korte editie van de vrouwenklassieker, was het Lorena Wiebes die voor de derde maal op rij de koers wist te winnen. Bij de mannen kon Jasper Philipsen eindelijk de koers van zijn verlanglijst afstrepen, maar veel had het niet gescheeld of hij was überhaupt niet in de positie gekomen om te zegevieren. We blikten erop terug met Raymond Kerckhoffs van WielerFlits. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Het was een vertrouwd gezicht: Mathieu van der Poel en Wout van Aert samen vooruit in de finale van een klassieker. Het duel kreeg alleen geen échte climax, want onder de vlag van de laatste kilometer van In Flanders Fields – from Middelkerke to Wevelgem werd het duo teruggepakt door het peloton. En dus zullen we nooit weten wie vandaag de sterkste van de twee was. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel besteden Niek Goedvolk, Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard uiteraard ook aandacht aan de overwinning van Jasper Philipsen, waarmee Alpecin–Deceuninck de bingo compleet maakt. Bij de vrouwen ging de zege naar Lorena Wiebes, die won in de sprint, maar ook op de Vlaamse hellingen duidelijk de sterkste was. Al hadden haar medevluchters het haar een stuk lastiger kunnen maken: waarom werd er amper aangevallen? Daarover verbazen we ons in deze nieuwe podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ronde van Brugge (m/v), E3 Saxo Classic, Gent-Wevelgem (m/v), Ronde van Catalonië, Coppi & Bartali, Olympia's Tour en dan zijn we eigenlijk Milaan-San Remo alweer vergeten. Aan onderwerpen in de nieuwste aflevering van de WielerFlits Podcast dus geen gebrek; luister snel!Hoofdredacteur Maxim ontvangt deze week verslaggevers Niels en Youri. Eerstgenoemde van dat duo was woensdag in Brugge en zag daar vanop de eerste rij hoe Unibet Rose Rockets hun eerste WorldTour-koers wonnen. Dylan Groenewegen levert waar voor zijn geld en scoorde de afgelopen week een onvervalste hattrick. Hij lijkt helemaal terug op zijn oude niveau te zijn. Wat dat betreft is het jammer dat we de Leeuw van Amsterdam in deze vorm zondag aan het werk zien in La Roue Tourangelle in plaats van In Flanders Fields. Oproep: gooi hem er toch maar in.Daarnaast staan we uitgebreid stil bij de keuze die Wout van Aert heeft gemaakt: niet starten in E3 Saxo Classic – toch de beste generale repetitie voor De Ronde over anderhalve week – maar wel in Gent-Wevelgem. Onbegrijpelijk voor velen, maar de gedachten erachter kunnen wel hout snijden. We kijken uitgebreid vooruit naar beide wedstrijden waar Mathieu van der Poel vooral vertrouwen zal willen (her)winnen na Milaan-San Remo. Zeker in E3 zal hij er geen gras over laten groeien. En dan is er nog Mads Pedersen. Knappe terugkeer in San Remo, maar dé test volgt pas dit weekend: houdt die gebroken pols het tijdens volle intensiteit in een finale op kasseien?Uiteraard passeren ook de mannen- en vrouwenkoers van Gent-Wevelgem (In Flanders Fields, zo u wilt). Verder staan we stil bij de (interne) strijd tussen Remco Evenepoel (met zijn ploeggenoot Florian Lipowitz) en Jonas Vingegaard in de Ronde van Catalonië. De Belg zal zich daar dit weekend bergop moeten bewijzen. En dan is er ook nog Olympia's Tour, dat zich meer en meer positioneert als dé opleidingskoers voor 's werelds beste developmentteams in deze periode van het jaar. Een nieuwe hoofdsponsor moet leiden tot de volgende stap. Kortom: snel gaan luisteren!

Nach dem ersten Rennwochenende in Belgien ist der Besenwagen schon wieder unterwegs und fährt in die Schweiz. Bei den Eidgenossen gibt es nicht nur exzellente Zeitmesser, in Aarau wohnt seit 1998 auch deutsch-schweizerische Klassikerexpertise. Zwei Podiumsplätze bei Paris-Roubaix, drei beim E3-Prijs, zweimal beim Omloop Nieuwsblad, einer bei Gent-Wevelgem und einen von zwei deutschen Siegen bei der Flandern-Rundfahrt konnte Steffen Wesemann in seiner Karriere unter anderem einfahren. Nach frühen Erfolgen bei der Friedensfahrt, war er fast die gesamte Karriere in magenta beim Team Telekom a.k.a. T-Mobile unterwegs und wurde ein Spezialist für die Rennen über Kopfsteinpflaster.

Gather around The Cycling Podcast Féminin crystal ball and try (and mostly likely fail) to take a look into the future of the 2026 road season. Yes it is that time of the year when we bring out our ‘bold' predictions for the racing ahead. This time the team are taking safety in numbers as Rose Manley is joined by a bumper number of co-hosts in Denny Gray, Rebecca Charlton and Jo Rowsell.Who will be tipped for success in the Classics? Which rider might be headed for a Giro-Tour double? Who is looking likely for a big bounceback? Before the team inevitably squabble over what is to come, they'll first be taking a look at how they fared with their predictions last year. But enough conjecture, the team will also be taking a close look at the first Women's World Tour race of the season, the Tour Down Under. There's plenty to talk about after Team UAE-ADQ squandered a three-versus-one advantage over Noemi Ruegg to grant the Swiss rider her second consecutive title at the race. Plus we discuss the recently announced UK Grand Depart for the Tour de France Femmes in 2027.Also on the agenda: the correct pronunciation of ‘Leeds', giving birth before Gent-Wevelgem and a cheese knife that will turn your family against you.Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastFriends of the PodcastSign up as a Friend of the Podcast at thecyclingpodcast.com to listen to new special episodes every month plus a back catalogue of more than 300 exclusive episodes.The 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

Is full-suspension the inevitable future of gravel cycling? With Trek launching a new full-suspension gravel bike, the GCN Show presenters debate the five reasons why we'll all end up on one, and the arguments against. Plus, we cover the latest in cycling news, including a major bike recall, Mathieu van der Poel's 'Best Cyclist' crown, and the end of Gent-Wevelgem as we know it.

The Cicle Classic is England's answer to the spring classics. Paris-Roubaix is the Hell of the North so perhaps this ought to be known as the Beast in the East. The race celebrates its 20th anniversary this month, with the 2025 edition taking place on Sunday, April 27. Held in the East Midlands, the race criss-crosses the countryside, taking in rough, rutted farm tracks. If it was created today it would be considered a gravel race. The Tour of Flanders has the Koppenberg, Gent-Wevelgem has the Kemmelberg, Paris-Roubaix has the Arenberg – the Cicle Classic has Somerberg. Lionel Birnie explores the history and character of the UK's highest-ranked one-day race and hears from the founder Colin Clews who had the idea, Matt Stephens, who was third in the first edition two decades ago, Conor Dunne, who won in 2016 and James McCallum, who was on the podium in arguably the most dramatic and certainly the muddiest edition in 2012.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP This episode is sponsored by NordVPN - get an exclusive NordVPN discount + 4 extra months with Life in the Peloton: https://nordvpn.com/pelosurf  After a big weekend of racing at E3 on Friday and Wevelgem on Sunday, I gave our man Laurence Pithie a call for another catch up to find out how his races went, and how he's feeling about the big one this coming Sunday; The Tour of Flanders.  First up, E3 Saxo Classic. Basically, a mini Tour of Flanders. Heaps of climbs including the Kwaremont, the Paterberg, and - Tom Boonen's favourite - the Taaienberg. If you do well at this race, you go into Flanders the following weekend as one of the favourites. Laurence's race didn't go his way, after suffering from a puncture and not being able to get back in the fight - but that's classics racing.  After E3 comes Gent Wevelgem. A flatter race more suited to sprinters, but still featuring some savage cobbled ascents of climbs like the Kemmelberg. This was Pithie's ‘breakout' ride last Spring, where he got away with Van Der Poel and Pedersen and put his name on a lot of people's radar as a real future star in these races. Again, it wasn't the result Laurence came for, but he's only 3 races into this classics campaign, and I reckon once he gets his tactical nous dialled back in, he'll be right up there; he definitely has the legs for it.  Talking to Laurence, I get the sense he's a real fighter, and hearing the absolutely crazy numbers he's putting out just to get up these brutal Flemish climbs without losing the wheel in front, I'm reminded once again just how hard the racing is these days. Despite being so young, he really knows his stuff about these races - he was rattling off the names to the climbs like a real seasoned Belgian.  The races keep coming thick and fast, and today it's time for Dwars door Vlaanderen. This is the last hit out before De Ronde, and it's one of those races that, when I was a rider, I'd see as a chance to bag a little result for myself. It's a lot shorter than the likes of Flanders or Roubaix at just 185km, and the start list is usually slightly reduced, with the bigger favourites resting up hard for Flanders. I reckon this is Laurence's chance for a result; he's got the legs, and he's had a few races to get his eye back in, so I think he'll come out swinging. In fact, by the time you listen to this ep, he might have already got his hands in the air! After Dwars door, Laurence and his boys are going to get some recon done for Flanders, then it's time to rest up before Sunday's 6 and a half hour battle.  The thing about the Spring Classics is that it's kind of like a mini Grand Tour. You're up in Belgium for about 3 weeks with the same team around you, bouncing between all these races - it definitely has a real grand atmosphere. Towards the end of my chat with Laurence, I got a chance to have a quick chat with his roommate out there in Belgium; ‘The Wombat' himself, Aussie sprinting legend Sam Welsford. Sam's dropped into Bora's classics squad for a few of the races, but also to bring some morale into the team. He's a really laid back dude, and hearing his positive attitude and relaxed demeanor, I can imagine the positive impact he'll have on the boys, some of whom have been racing out there for weeks now!  Lastly, I gave my old mate Heinrich Haussler a call. Heino was a classics star in his own right when he was a pro, and now works as a DS for Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe. He gave me some great insight into how the classics have changed since he and I were riders just a few years ago; the nutrition, the tech, the schedule - it's all come on leaps and bounds in such a short space of time, and made these races harder than ever.  Laurence - go well today, buddy. Show them what you're made of, and we'll catch up after Flanders!  Cheers, Mitch   Chapters 00:00:00 - Pre-race Nerves at E3 00:05:39 - E3 Race Debrief 00:10:54 - The Toll of Classics Racing 00:15:32 - Reset for Gent-Wevelgem 00:18:06 - In the Mix at Gent-Wevelgem 00:22:47 - Goals for Dwars door Vlaanderen 00:25:07 - Recon and Knowledge of Flanders 00:29:43 - Sam Welsford Joins the Chat 00:33:37 - Heinrich Haussler on the Modern Classics 00:50:23 - Final Recon Before De Ronde ----more---- I'VE WRITTEN A BOOK!

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week with top TNT commentator Rob Hatch.   We discuss an intense weekend of racing, with a pair of key appetizers before the Tour of Flanders: E3 Harelbeke and Gent-Wevelgem. The two semi-Classics saw Mathieu van der Poel and Mads Pedersen in superlative form, so who, besides Tadej Pogačar, could possibly stop them in Flanders on Sunday?  Wout Van Aert's chances are the subject of this week's Coorevits Corner. We also look back at the Volta a Catalunya and the latest tour de force by Primož Roglič. This week's episode ends on a sombre note as we remember our late co-founder Richard Moore, who was the subject of a special tribute in Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday.   Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

This week's podcast features the full team of Abby, Loren, Gracie, and Georgie, who discuss Gent Wevelgem and Classic Brugge-De Panne and preview Dwars door Vlaanderen and the Tour of Flanders.The "world championships of sprinting" was windless this year, but that didn't stop one youngster from forging ahead alone (for a long time) before the sprinter's teams eventually brought her back. Meanwhile, one rider attempted to prove she was unbeatable, but perhaps there is a way around her. And the biggest race of the spring is coming on the weekend, but can anyone dethrone SD Worx-Protime?

Dane Cash and Cosmo Catalano break down the men's Gent-Wevelgem and draw some conclusions from the other races after a very busy weekend.

Laurens en Stefan gaan verder, met Thomas aan hun zijde. Podcast numero twee van Villa Vlaanderen 2025. En het is Gent Wevelgem dat vandaag de harten sneller deed kloppen. Een podcast in teken van de herdenkingsrit van 250 kilometer, dwars over het grondgebied waarop meer dan 100 jaar geleden tijdens de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd gevochten in de loopgraven. Het gaat over de koers die op imposante wijze met een solo van maar liefst 56 km werd afgemaakt door Mads Pedersen.Maar er wordt ook vooruitgeblikt - want op woensdag staat Dwars Door Vlaanderen op het menu van menig coureur. En hoe zat het nou met bladblazers en tuinslangen? De Heilige Week - de heren duiken erin en nemen je mee. Je hoort het allemaal in weer een nieuwe aflevering van de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Our man, Laurence Pithie, is back for the second episode in our mini series following the young Kiwi star through the 2025 Spring Classics.  After a delayed start to his European series, Laurence kicked things off on the weekend at Milan San Remo. We kick this ep off with a quick voice note from him live from the hotel room, and man, with the weather those boys had right at the start, I can tell you I'm glad I'm not a rider anymore.  I caught up with Laurence after the race to get his insight into how things played out, and how his race went. If you've not caught up with San Remo yet, go and get yourself up to speed - but safe to say, it wasn't an easy day for any of the riders, let alone our man Pithie. I won't spoil the result, but hearing how Laurence's team got around him, and his ‘never say die' attitude was super cool. Of course, San Remo is just the kick off for Pithie's Spring. Next up, he's off to Belgium - the home of the classics - for De Panne, E3, and Gent Wevelgem; three absolutely massive races that lead up to The Tour of Flanders at the start of April. Oh man, these are some of my absolute favourite races. The Belgian fans, the chaos in the bunch; in a messed up way, I kinda miss it - so I can't wait to hear how Laurence finds them. Laurence had a great ride at Wevelgem in 2024, so we spoke about what his expectations are for these first races back in Belgium to find out if he's doing anything this time around. Of course, aside from the racing, it's good to hear the young gun is still looking forward to getting familiar with a few Belgian beers and really soaking in the culture; that's something I'm particularly jealous of.  Finally, I spoke to one of Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe's sports directors - another Kiwi, ‘The Flying Mullet' himself; Shane Archbold. He gave me some great background on Laurence, what it's like working with him, the mechanics behind his transfer to Bora from FDJ, and what he's capable of this season. Shane's a good mate, and a real good judge of character, so it was great to hear that Laurence has really fit in with the team and found his feet within the structure straight away, so he can focus on trying to win some of the biggest races in the world.  Right guys, enjoy this episode. Our next catch up with Pithie will come next week after he, with a bit of luck, has just won the E3 and Wevelgem double…don't let me down, Laurence.  Cheers! Mitch   I'VE WRITTEN A BOOK!

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week in the company of former CSC, Sky and GreenEDGE communications maestro Brian Nygaard.  After our Arrivée episode at the weekend, we discuss one or two talking points that we missed in the immediate wake of Sanremo - and the hot breaking news that Tadej Pogačar will ride Paris-Roubaix.  There's also a look at the Volta a Catalunya, where Lennard Kämna is making his comeback after a career-threatening crash a year ago. The episode features an interview with Kämna and also our weekly trip to Coorevits Corner, where Hugo is expecting E3 Harelbeke to deliver a few home truths.  Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

Abby, Gracie and Loren have a lot to say this week about Sanremo Women. They dive into the tactics, how the race could have been won, and if it really needs to be longer. After, they look ahead to the two races on tap this week; Classic Brugge-De Panne and Gent Wevelgem. A full preview for those can be found in this week's Wheel Talk Newsletter.For more on Sanremo Women check out Matt's piece on EscapeCollective.com

Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell cast their eye over one of the most hotly anticipated races of the year, Milano-Sanremo Donne. The last time the race was staged for women was 20 years ago, leaving plenty of intrigue over how it would be approached by this current crop of riders. This season's battle of SD Worx versus Demi Vollering was expected to continue into this race. The Dutch team boasted both World Champion Lotte Kopecky and super sprinter Lorena Wiebes in their line-up, making them the team to beat. However, former alumnus Vollering – now of FDJ Suez – got the better of them at Strade Bianche and looked to do it again on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio.  There were plenty of contenders for the inaugural Milano Sanremo Donne title elsewhere too. Trofeo Binda champion Elisa Balsamo heads up Lidl-Trek, Elisa Longo Borghini looks to make a big impression as Italian champion and Kasia Niewiadoma races for the first time since her Strade Bianche crash.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP It's no secret that the Spring Classics are my favourite races. I loved racing them, and I love watching them as a fan. But, in my 10th year of doing Life In The Peloton, you've heard all the stories I've got about the likes of Flanders & Roubaix; it's time for me to pass the torch. This season, I'm going to be covering the cobbles classics a little bit differently. I'm going to bring you with me inside the 2025 peloton as we follow young Kiwi up and coming classics star - Laurence Pithie. Laurence burst onto the scene last year when he won Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race in January, and went toe to toe with Van Der Poel and Pedersen at Gent Wevelgem, rounding out his classics campaign with a stellar 7th place at Roubaix.  I'm going to be chatting to Laurence before and after all the big races for the next few weeks - San Remo, Flanders, and Roubaix - to get insider information on how he's feeling, how his team are planning on tackling the races, and just how it feels to take on the superstars at the pointy end. He'll be sending me voice notes straight from the team bus straight after the finish to share his raw, unfiltered thoughts, and I can't wait to bring you along and share Laurence's 2025 classics journey with you guys.  After transferring from FDJ to Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe in the offie, Pithie is heading into this season as a co-leader with a really strong team. He'll be supported by class riders like Oier Lazkano, Gianni Moscon, Maxim Van Gils, Danny Van Poppel, Jordi Meeus, and heaps more - plus he'll have the wise words of Bernie Eisel and my old mate Heinrich Haussler down the radio from back in the team car; Bora really aren't messing around at the classics this year, and Laurence is a rider they believe can go all the way and knock out a big result. Fresh off an altitude training camp and a delayed start to his 2025 classics campaign, Laurence is about to kick things off at Milan San Remo, so I spoke to him to kick off this mini series and get his initial thoughts on the Spring Classics in 2025. A lot has changed since I retired, and these races are almost unrecognisable to me now, so it's great to see them through the eyes of a fresh, young, motivated rider with a real shot of winning BIG this season. Guys, I hope you enjoy part 1 of this series. I can't wait to bring you more from our man Laurence over the next few weeks. Hopefully, you'll join me in really rooting for the young Kiwi after listening to this. And Laurence; go and get it buddy. We're all behind you.  Cheers!

With old grudges and new rivalries playing out on the gravel roads of Tuscany, Strade Bianche offered up plenty to talk about in this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Rose Manley and Denny Gray are joined by cycling broadcaster Rebecca Charlton to discuss all the juicy details, plus they look ahead to the return of Milan-Sanremo with a mini-feature about the race's predecessor, the Primavera Rosa. Ever since Demi Vollering's move to FDJ-Suez and Anna Van der Breggen announced her return to the peloton last year, anticipation of a fierce rivalry between the pair has been rising. After Strade Bianche and their first meeting at Setmana Valenciana, it is fair to say that the match-up has already more than exceeded expectations. Van der Breggen has proven to be the only rider in the peloton capable of matching Vollering for power and tactical nous, although Vollering has thus far always come away with the spoils. Strade Bianche also saw former world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot take third place, in her first spring Classic since 2018. Plus the race was a welcome showcase for the top riders in the peloton after something of a stalemate at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad which saw a surprise victory for Lotte Claes.  In anticipation of the inaugural Milano-Sanremo Donne, we take a look back at the race's precursor – the Primavera Rosa – which ran for seven editions from 1999 until 2005. The race took place on the last 118 kilometres of the men's Milan-Sanremo, on the same day and included the same Poggio and Cipressa climbs and Via Roma finish. We offer up a potted history of those editions and hear some first-hand accounts from people that were there including Marion Clignet, podium finishers Chantal Beltman and Ina Teutenberg, 2005 champion Trixi Worrack and photographer Mario Prato. Also on the agenda, hippopotamus races, bumping into your ex with 30 toilet rolls and the battle of the names: Nienke Vinke vs Lotte Claes.

Lionel Birnie, Rob Hatch and Brian Nygaard recap Strade Bianche, where Tadej Pogačar recovered from a crash, picked himself up from the adjacent field and still managed to see off a spirited challenge from Tom Pidcock. We ask whether Pidcock should have waited – and whether, indeed, waiting was what he did – and discuss what the rest of the peloton can do to stop Pogačar when he's in such irrepressible mood. With the peloton split between two week-long stage races, Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico, this week we keep an eye on the likely storylines, including an aggressive start to the Race to the Sun.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back to review the latest news and racing in the world of procycling, assisted this week by ace commentator Rob Hatch.  ‘Opening Weekend' may not have lived up to all the hype but both Omloop het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne did serve up some juicy talking points. Among the hottest topics in the Belgian media were Visma-Lease a Bike's toils - and they're also on the agenda in this week's ‘Coorevits Corner', our weekly check-in with Flandrian cycling oracle Hugo Coorevits. In part three of the episode, we look ahead to Strade Bianche and Paris-Nice at the weekend. One of the favourites for overall victory on the Promenade des Anglais a week on Sunday, Pavel Sivakov, also shares some childhood memories of “The Race to the Sun” and discusses newfound confidence since joining UAE Team Emirates last year.  Sponsored by Sports Tours International The Cycling Podcast is proudly sponsored by Sports Tours International.

It's the equivalent of Christmas Eve in Flanders, the night before Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, the opening cobbled classic of the spring season. Join Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch as they preview the race and wonder who can stop Visma-Lease A Bike winning four in a row. There's a wistful meander down memory lane recalling past editions, an attempt to capture the elements that make Omloop such an eagerly-anticipated race, and a bit of light speculation ahead of Saturday's race.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back to review the latest news and racing in the world of procycling, assisted this week by Tudor Pro Cycling stalwart Larry Warbasse aka ‘The Motown Maestro'. Tour de France rivals Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard both began their seasons last week - both with instant success. Pogačar's GC win in the UAE Tour came thanks to stage victories in the two mountain stages to Jebel Jais and Jebel Hafeet, while Vingegaard left it late with his final-day TT triumph in Portugal. In part three of the episode, Larry updates us on an encouraging start to his season. We then premiere a new feature for the Classics season – Coorevits Corner – starring veteran Belgian reporter Hugo Coorevits.
