Podcasts about gent wevelgem

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.

Adolwg E3, Gent-Wevelgem a Dwars fel rhagolwg i'r Ronde van Vlaanderen

Mads P tog en overbevisende sejr i Gent-Wevelgem, faktisk den mest overbevisende sejr i løbets lange historie. Vi taler om sejren og om Mads P's muligheder i de kommende monumenter, Flandern Rundt og Paris-Roubaix. Vi runder Katalonien Rundt af, hvor Primoz Roglic kuppede Juan Ayuso på den afsluttende etape i Barcelona. Og så ser vi frem mod Plesners årlige højdepunkt, Flandern Rundt, der køres på søndag.

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?

Aan de start van de heilige week zitten Sander Valentijn, Jeroen Vanbelleghem, Jan Hermsen en Bobbie Traksel te poppelen voor een nieuwe week met geweldige koers. Een week – en aflevering – waar we toewerken naar de Ronde van Vlaanderen! Eerst behandelen we het nieuws met aandacht voor de Wildcards in de Tour en Giro en de blessure van Fabio Jakobsen. De overwinning van Roglic in de Ronde van Catalonië met enkele indrukwekkende statistieken wordt besproken en Jan vertelt wat hem is opgevallen met het oog op de Giro. Vervolgens werken we toe naar de Ronde via Gent-Wevelgem (met een analyse van de solo van Pedersen en zijn kansen in de Ronde) en een voorbeschouwing op Dwars door Vlaanderen (waarin Wout van Aert vertrouwen moet zien te tanken voor de Ronde). Dan, tot slot, de hoofdmoot: de Ronde van Vlaanderen. Waar moet je op letten? Heeft Mathieu of Tadej betere papieren? Gaat anticiperen Mads Pedersen (of iemand anders van Lidl-Trek) aan een overwinning helpen? En welke kaarten kan Visma-Lease a Bike trekken naast – of misschien wel voor – Wout van Aert? Vragen die allemaal beantwoord worden zodat jij klaar bent voor de Hoogmis van 2025. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Head to Escapecollective.com/member to sign up today.This week on Spin Cycle: Mathieu van der Poel got spit on, a Belgian rider got stuck in his hotel room, and Kit thinks Mads Pedersen is going to win Flanders. Plus the crew discuss E3, Gent-Wevelgem, Fabio Jakobsen's surgery, and extra team in the Ground Tours, and look ahead to Holy Week. 

Forhjulslir præsenteres i samarbejde med Continental Dæk Danmark. Foråret er endelig på vej, og det er tid til at skifte til sommerdæk – både på bilen og cyklen. Continental er igen leverandør til nogle af verdens bedste hold, heriblandt UAE med Tadej Pogacar og Mikkel Bjerg. Uanset om det gælder motorvejen eller bjergene, starter sikkerheden med dækket. Med Continental er du klar til forårets eventyr.  Mandag morgen sidder vi bag mikrofonerne og samler op på Mads Pedersens enmandsekspedition over Flanderns historiske slagmarker i Gent-Wevelgem. Vi dykker ned i hans rekordsejr, mod, råstyrke og den vilde action fra gårsdagens løb. Samtalen krydres med interviews fra Belgien og Frankrig. Mikkel Norsgaard Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) giver et indblik i orkanens øje i Gent-Wevelgem og ser frem mod Flandern Rundt, hvor Pogacar står klar som kaptajn. Vi tjekker også ind hos Emil Mielke Vinjebo (Uno-X Mobility), der deler sine observationer fra servicevognen i de flamske løb. Interviewet med Emil er optaget, før nyheden om Uno-X's Tour de France-udtagelse blev offentliggjort. Sidst men ikke mindst, så vender vi kort Catalonien Rundt og brygger snakken fra sidste uges flamske endagsløb op til optakten til Flandern Rundt søndag.  Medvirkende: Per Bausager og Anders Mielke Interviews: Mikkel Norsgaard Bjerg (UAE Team Emirates) & Emil Mielke Vinjebo (Uno-X Mobility)

Geen Pogi, geen Mathieu, geen Ganna, geen Wout. Wellicht dat de organisatie van Gent Wevelgem ietwat beteuterd naar de startlijst heeft gekeken aangezien een hoop van die jongens op voorhand wel hadden aangekondigd om langs te komen. Wij bankzitters maalden er niet om. De kans op een mooie strijd werd met elke afzegging namelijk een stuk groter. De koers ontplofte uiteraard in de Moeren en Pedersen liet daar al zien dat het menens was. Op de Kemmel deed hij een sollicitatie naar het whatsappgroepje en in de kilometers naar de finish zette hij dat nog extra in de verf. Wat een renner. Heel benieuwd naar wat hij zondag kan want dan staat De Hoogmis op het programma!

Han vinder alt. Han dominerer hver eneste turnering. Derfor kom det næppe som en overraskelse, at Mathias Gidsel for andet år i træk blev kåret til verdens bedste håndboldspiller. Men er der overhovedet nogen, der kan true den danske superstjerne i kampen om dén titel i fremtiden? Mads Pedersen tog søndag sagen i egen hånd og leverede et udbrud, der var Mathieu van der Poel og Tadej Pogacar værdigt. Med et angreb fra spids i Gent-Wevelgem sikrede den tidligere verdensmester sig sejren i brostensklassikeren. Skal han satse alt for endelig at triumfere i Paris-Roubaix? Superligaens nedrykningsspil er et drama uden lige. Fire klubber er i alvorlig fare for at rykke ned. Smid ligaens varmeste angriber i puljen og en traditionsklub på randen af panik, så har du en farlig cocktail. I dagens program sætter Andreas Kraul tal på de fire klubbers chancer for overlevelse. Vært: Emil Schiønning. Medvært: Tobias Hansen. Gæster: Håndboldreporter Emil Halkier og fodboldkommentator Andreas Kraul.

Met overmacht, zo sprintte Lorena Wiebes naar de zege in Gent-Wevelgem. Het is de derde World-Tourkoers op rij die ze wint. De kroniek van een aangekondigde sprintoverwinning. Waar bleven de pogingen om zo'n sprint te ontmijnen van de andere ploegen dan? In deze Sporza Daily verdedigen Lieselot Decroix en Grace Verbeke hun ploegen, FDJ en Lotto Ladies, en vertelt analiste Marijn de Vries over wat zij zag in Gent-Wevelgem.

Het was weer een druk wielerweekend met mooie koersen. Twee daarvan in het bijzonder: Het slot van de Ronde van Catalonië, waarin we vooral de spannende strijd tussen favorieten Primož Roglič en Juan Ayuso zagen; en Gent-Wevelgem, waarin we konden genieten van een geweldige solo van topfavoriet Mads Pedersen. We blikten erop terug met Live Slow Ride Fast podcaster en oud-profrenner Laurens ten Dam, die zelf altijd in de Ronde van Catalonië te vinden was rond deze tijd. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

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!

Two days before Emilly Johnston won the Argentario instalment of the Internazionali d'Italia Series, she chatted about all the new changes that have occurred in the past seven months. As the 2024 mountain bike world championships began at the end of this past August, Johnston signed with the team she'd race with in 2025, Scott-SRAM MTB Racing, the squad of Nino Schurter and Filippo Colombo. The two-year contract came just as the rider from Vancouver Island's Comox Valley was nearing the end of her final under-23 season. Her first year in the elite level would truly be with the elites of the sport.Johnston covers a wide range of topics In this in-depth interview. How had the geography of her home region shaped her as a rider? Why did she do a cool trick in a high-stakes race? Does she tie her own flies for fishing? Johnston talks about some of the people who've had a big effect on her career, including an innovative bike builder on Quadra Island. She shares her insights about the current state of Canadian women's cross country mountain biking and how, in a sense, she has two lives: a European one and a Comox Valley one.Also in this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, editor Matthew Pioro and writer Jake Williams chat about recent races. Milan-San Remo, men's and women's, were stunning events. XC racers had many successes in the UC Cup races in Fayetteville, Ark. Gent-Wevelgem is coming up. It's a race that Williams, a Luca Paolini doppelganger, has a particular fondness for.For more on one of Johnston's cycling influences, head to the podcast's back catalogue. In August 2020, two-time world champion Catharine Pendrel was featured. The episode, quite rightly, is titled “Catharine Pendrel is awesome.” Check it out. 

Nog heel eventjes en dan begint de Heilige Vlaamse Wielerweek, met de Ronde van Vlaanderen volgende week zondag als summum. Daarvoor liggen eerst nog de E3 Saxo Classic en Gent-Wevelgem, maar bijvoorbeeld ook Olympia's Tour én de wildcard-beslissing die de PCC neemt. Kortom: genoeg ammunitie voor een fonkelnieuwe WielerFlits Podcast!Maxim en Youri vielen meteen met de neus in de boter. Net op het moment dat ze de record-knop zouden indrukken, gingen alle alarmbellen af: persbericht UAE Emirates XRG, Tadej Pogačar gaat Parijs-Roubaix rijden. En daardoor schrapt hij de E3 Saxo Classic en Gent-Wevelgem van komend weekend. Vooral in die laatste koers zal dat gevolgen hebben voor de dynamiek. Meer dan daarvoor zal een massasprint nu het meest logische scenario zijn. Uiteraard bespreken we ook de vrouwenwedstrijd. Bij afwezigheid van bijvoorbeeld Demi Vollering en Marianne Vos, is het nu weer ouderwets met z'n allen tegen SD Worx ProTime. Zij stellen een enorm sterk team op.Eerst terug naar de E3 Saxo Classic. Daar blijft Mathieu van der Poel nu de enige topfavoriet (al voegt hij mogelijk wel Gent-Wevelgem nog toe aan zijn programma), maar is het vooral uitkijken naar Wout van Aert. De Belgische kopman van Visma | Lease a Bike maakte in februari en het Openingsweekend niet de beste indruk en vertrok daarna op hoogte. Hoe goed hij is richting de Ronde van Vlaanderen zal de E3 Saxo Classic moeten uitwijzen. De druk op hem is wel immens, want met wat we gezien hebben in Milaan-San Remo weet iedereen welk niveau ze van Van Aert verwachten. Met de twijfels die er voor de hoogtestage misschien al waren, kan MVDP bij het vertrouwen van zijn eeuwige rivaal op de wegen naar Harelbeke significante schade aanrichten.Verder is er de nodige aandacht voor de PCC-vergadering die woensdag plaatsvindt in Aigle, op het hoofdkantoor van de UCI. Daar stemt het een na hoogste wielerorgaan of de grote rondes dit jaar een extra wildcard mogen uitdelen. Juridisch gezien lijkt dat absoluut niet houdbaar, maar het begint er toch sterk op te lijken dat geld regeert. Youri legt dat haarfijn uit. Tot slot haalt Maxim ook Olympia's Tour aan, die deze week ook op het programma staat. De oudste rittenkoers van Nederland kan zoals altijd op een mooie deelnemersveld rekenen, al wijst die waarde zich altijd pas een paar jaar later uit. Hoe dat zit hoor je in deze aflevering van de WielerFlits Podcast!

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.

Gør dig klar til søndagens Gent-Wevelgem med den første danske vinder af løbet fra 1995 – og min gamle holdkammerat fra tre sæsoner på Team CSC – Lars Michaelsen. I denne episode af Bak Lane dykker vi ned i Lars' imponerende 14-årige karriere som professionel rytter samt hans år som sportsdirektør for nogle af cykelsportens største hold og profiler. Med de store brostensklassikere lige rundt om hjørnet, hvad er så bedre end en optakt fyldt med anekdoter, erfaringer og flashbacks fra en sand klassikerspecialist? Eller som jeg altid har kaldt ham: Monsieur Roubaix – manden med hele ni top-10 placeringer i Helvede i Nord. Bak Lane er en del af Forhjulslir Klippet af Anders Mielke Artwork: Kim Sivert  

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

Bijgekomen van de geweldige apotheose van Milaan – San Remo blikken Sander Valentijn, Jeroen Vanbelleghem, Jan Hermsen en Bobbie Traksel vol plezier en energie terug op een van de mooiste finales ooit. Superlatieven, nagenieten en natuurlijk ook enkele verbeterpunten: we nemen je nog een keer mee naar wat er allemaal gebeurde richting de Via Roma. En niet alleen bij de mannen, ook de vernieuwde editie van de vrouwen wordt onder de loep genomen. Daarna moeten we snel door want Nils Eekhoff sluit kort aan om het over zijn overwinning in Nokere Koerse te hebben en de aankomende etappes in Catalonië. Daar rijden een keur aan klassementsmannen en we bespreken hoe het multidisciplinaire verleden van Tibor Del Gross hem bijna aan de overwinning hielp. Verder ruim aandacht voor hoe het in de E3 Saxo Classic weer een duel kan worden tussen Pogacar en Van der Poel, met deze keer misschien zelfs Van Aert en Pedersen in hun kielzog. Of wat dacht je van de extreem sterk bezette editie van Gent-Wevelgem? Redt Pogacar het daar tot een een overwinning na een lange solo en hoe kunnen de teams met andere plannen het bolwerken tegen hem? Een heerlijke aflevering dus vol nagenieten en voorpret! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In de zesde aflevering van seizoen 4 van de WielerOrakel Podcast blikken Tom en Thomas vooruit op De Panne, E3 en Gent-Wevelgem 2025. Ze bespreken de topfavorieten, mogelijke koersscenario's en interessante statistieken. Daarnaast werpen ze een blik op de voorspelling van de computer en geven ze advies over welke renners je het beste als kopmannen kunt selecteren in je spel. Enjoy!

Forhjulslir præsenteres i samarbejde med Continental Dæk Danmark. Foråret er endelig på vej, og det er tid til at skifte til sommerdæk – både på bilen og cyklen. Continental er igen leverandør til nogle af verdens bedste hold, heriblandt UAE med Tadej Pogacar og Mikkel Bjerg. Uanset om det gælder motorvejen eller bjergene, starter sikkerheden med dækket. Med Continental er du klar til forårets eventyr.  Årets La Classicissima var noget helt særligt – et af de største dramaer i denne bemærkelsesværdige cykelepoke. Men hvordan forklarer man egentlig præcis, hvad der skete i den sidste time af Milano-Sanremo 2025? Hvilke følelser vækkede det, og hvilke tanker sad vi tilbage med? Forestil dig så, at du skulle beskrive det hele i et brev – en flaskepost sendt ud i fremtiden til en cykelfan, der først ville opdage det 20 år senere. Hvordan ville du fortælle historien om thrilleren mod Via Roma lørdag den 22. marts 2025? Den opgave tager Per Bausager på sig, og efter optagelsen blev flaskeposten sendt ud i Roskilde Fjord – en hilsen til fremtidens cykelfans. Vi vender hver en sten fra årets første monument og tager lærdommene med os videre ind i den flamske brostensuge, hvor klassikerne venter: De Panne onsdag, E3 fredag og Gent-Wevelgem søndag. Medvirkende: Per Bausager & Anders Mielke

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. Arrivée is The Cycling Podcast's quick-fire race analysis show offering a first take on the biggest races. Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie as they discuss their first impressions of the opening Monument of the spring, the longest one-day race on the World Tour calendar, Milan-Sanremo.

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!

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week in the company of Tudor Pro Cycling ace Larry Warbasse aka ‘The Motown Maestro'.  Fresh(ish) from finishing Tirreno-Adriatico, Larry delivers his verdicts from The Race of the Two Seas. Who, if anyone, was hot in the often frigid weather conditions? And who still has work to do ahead of Milan-Sanremo on Saturday.  Daniel spent the week on the other side of the Med at an even soggier Paris-Nice. We discuss a successful title defence for Matteo Jorgenson there and other highlights. There's also the latest instalment of ‘Coorevits Corner', plus some pre-Sanremo speculation.  Sponsored by Sports Tours International The Cycling Podcast is proudly sponsored by Sports Tours International.

Ellen gaat Milaan-San Remo niet winnen. Jammer, maar helaas. En dat terwijl Roxane een uitgekiende strategie in haar hoofd had voor haar podcastvriendin. Ellen zit momenteel in Spanje en laadt zich op voor Gent-Wevelgem. In Trofeo Binda genoot Roxane van Marianne Vos - die daarvoor niet eens hoefde te winnen. Elisa Balsamo won, zonder ploeggenoten in de finale.

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.
