Johan y Victor dan su opinión y observaciones de la carrera italiana y están en admiración ante el recital que nos brindó el campeón esloveno Tadej Pogaçar.

El líder del equipo UAE empieza su temporada ganando a lo grande y nos da muchas esperanzas de que seremos testigos de unas carreras espectaculares durante este año 2024.
Johan y Víctor Hugo repasan en detalle todas las carreras de la última semana, desde el ataque de Lennert van Eetvelt en la subida final para hacerse con una sorprendente victoria en la general del UAE Tour, a la clase magistral de Visma en las dos primeras clásicas belgas, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad y Kuurne-Bruselas-Kuurne, el dominio absoluto por segundo año consecutivo de Jonas Vingegaard en el Gran Camiño, el esperanzador regreso al primer plano de Egan Bernal y las 2 victorias del equipo UAE en las carreras de un día en el sur de Francia.

JB Hager, Johan Bruyneel, and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter briefly break down how Israel-Premier Tech's Stephen Williams won the Tour Down Under, what Bora and Sam Welsford's sprinting dominance means for the rest of the season, and why Jayco-Alula underperformed at their home race, before getting into the breakout performance from UAE's 20-year-old Isaac del Toro, who won a stage and finished on the overall podium in his first career WorldTour outing. Afterward, they discuss Sunday's epic showdown between Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, and Tom Pidcock at the Benidorm Cyclocross World Cup in Spain, which produced what will likely be the defining race of the 2023/2024 CX season.
In this special episode of The Cycling Podcast, as a festive treat, we serve up a Christmas selection box of highlights from the 2023 men's Grand Tours. Proceeding in chronological order, we journey back in time first to May and the Giro d'Italia, where Daniel Friebe and Brian Nygaard saw lots of rain, a race that took its time to catch light, then a finale for the ages. Next, Lionel Birnie took over at the steering wheel for the Tour de France - variously assisted and accompanied by François Thomazeau, Mitch Docker, Lizzy Banks, Ian Boswell and Richard Abraham. Finally, it was on to Spain and the Vuelta - where Daniel and an assortment of familiar guests saw Jumbo-Visma continue their quest to make history by winning all three Grand Tours in a single season.

In this week's regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, we visit Bora-Hansgrohe at their December billet in Mallorca for an in-depth interview with the team's Head of Sports Rolf Aldag. It turned out to be a timely conversation, coming as it did hot on the heels of news that Cian Uijtdebroeks had walked out on Bora-Hansgrohe to sign for Jumbo-Visma - his agent claimed after his Bora deal had been terminated, the team said a year before it was due to expire. Here, Aldag talks to us about Uijtdebroeks' shock exit and what it could mean for Bora, the rider and the sport. We also, of course, discuss the star signing who has recently moved the other way, from Jumbo to Bora, Primož Roglič. There's much more besides – on Rolf's own career, the winning formula he helped to create at HTC High Road, Jan Ullrich's belated doping confession and Mark Cavendish's hopes of another Tour de France stage win.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter break down why the proposed merger between Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep failed to come to pass and how the two teams will move forward into the 2024 season as a result. They discuss how a major power player behind the scenes stepped in to end the deal and how the abrupt end of the saga has created an odd situation where almost everyone involved came out a winner.

To listen to the full episode, sign up at Escapecollective.com/join.Given the team's incredible success in 2023, one could be forgiven for assuming Jumbo-Visma is Dutch for jumbo victory count. With 70+ wins and all three Grand Tours in the bag, including a clean sweep of the Vuelta podium, the team has enjoyed success that even the most dominant of current and former super teams could only dream of. But it hasn't always been that way. We sat down with Jumbo-Visma's performance director Mathieu Heijboer to find out how they did it.
This week's episode dives into Pippo Pozzato's dreams to rebuild Italian cycling, taking cues from Flanders Classics. Plus Ronan, Kit, and Caley discuss an interesting (and TT-heavy) Giro d'Italia route, the young Brit who beat Remco Evenepoel in a big time trial, and, of course, a bit of Jumbo-Visma news.
Iain Treloar and Jonny Long join Caley Fretz to talk about the Jumbo-Visma merger that ultimately did not happen, the Ineos Grenadiers, Gravel Worlds, and Thibaut Pinot's retirement.
This episode was supposed to be about team captains but got slightly derailed by two topics none of us thought we would have to talk about in 2023: no live coverage of Gravel Worlds and the working conditions at Jumbo-Visma's women's team.
This week's episode features a comprehensive look back at the last monument of the season, Il Lombardia, and the latest example of Tadej Pogačar in just his latest annus mirabilis. Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch also reflect on Thibaut Pinot's very noisy and memorable farewell, plus the full-stop on a few other notable careers last weekend. There's also the latest on the merger that apparently will now never be, between Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quickstep. The former's most decorated alumnus, Primož Roglič, is of course on his way to Bora-Hansgrohe, and their team boss, Ralph Denk tells us how he got his man.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter discuss the news that Mark Cavendish is returning for the 2024 season and why this is a win for his Astana team, Cavendish, and fans of the sport. They also speculate on what is going on behind the scenes with Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep, where Primož Roglič and Remco Evenepoel are headed for the upcoming season, and if there is more to the situation than we initially thought.
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter discuss the growing rumors of a looming merger between the Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep teams for the 2024 season, before attempting to break down how it would play out, the implications for each team's stakeholders, riders, and staff. They also go over how it would affect the off-season transfer market and the balance of power in the sport as a whole.

The Cycling Podcast returns this week with an in-depth look at the news story that has rocked the sport over the past few days: the revelation by Dutch website Wielerflits that the existing Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quick Step teams may be about to join forces. Daniel Friebe and ace Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch hear from the journalist who broke the story, Raymond Kerchoffs, and go on to discuss both the likelihood and the implications of any such move. Does it spell the end of the road for Primož Roglič at Jumbo-Visma ad the start of a new journey for Remco Evenepoel, perhaps alongside Jonas Vingegaard? We weigh up those possibilities and various permutations. There's the usual round-up of the week's other news, including results of last weekend's European Championships.

Jonny Long, Kit Nicholson, and Ronan Mc Laughlin join Caley Fretz to discuss their final impressions of the 2023 Vuelta a España and Jumbo-Visma's dominance, some chatter around Mark Cavendish racing on, and more. Plus, the crew dives into a Sepp Kuss-related Weekly Pain competition.
Lance, George, Johan, and JB break down Sepp Kuss' unexpected overall victory at the Vuelta a España, which wrapped up today in Madrid with Kaden Groves getting a stunning and impressive stage win via a star-studded breakaway, that shook up the traditional final day procession. The crew also discuss Jumbo-Visma's dominance through the season's grand tours, their leaked 2023 internal team goals, as well as rating Remco Evenepoel's mixed Vuelta, which saw him sparkle in his effort to win stages but fall well short in the overall, and if a better planned season could have seen him challenge Jumbo's GC trio.

Johan, Spencer, and JB bring you up to speed, and break down, the last three days of racing, which has featured the stunning sight of Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard racing so aggressively that they jeoparized the lead of their teammates Sepp Kuss. While they exhibited far more defensive riding on Stage 18 to set Kuss up for a likely overall race win, the trio discuss if this will be enough to prevent public opinion from turning against them as they steamroll through every grand tour. Later, they debate the merits of Remco Evenepoel's Vuelta, which has seen him rack up three impressive stage wins, if it can be considered a success, and where he goes from here.

Jonny Long, Abby Mickey, and Dane Cash join Caley Fretz in the immediate aftermath of stage 18 of the Vuelta a España, where Jumbo-Visma seemed to decide to back Sepp Kuss in red after several days of drama.
Spencer and Johan break down Jumbo-Visma's decision to put their own race leader, Sepp Kuss, under pressure on the hardest climb of the race, L'Angliru, with a hard pace from Primož Roglič, which threatened to pull Jonas Vingegaard into the race lead. They debate if this was the right or wrong decision, if Kuss can hold onto the race lead on tomorrow's difficult stage, and try to under what is going on inside the Jumbo-Visma team.

Spencer and Johan attempt to make sense of Jumbo-Visma's potentially overly aggressive tactics on the final climb of Stage 16, which saw Jonas Vingegaard ride clear of his teammate, and race leader, Sepp Kuss, on the steep final climb to Bejes to get within 29-seconds of the GC lead while Primož Roglič attacked behind, creating an exciting spectacle that blew open the question of Jumbo's team leadership and strategy for the remainder of the race.

They also break down why the scorching-fast opening hours of the stage, which saw the peloton shredded and UAE's outside GC contender Marc Soler in the breakaway, highlights the extreme difficulty of overturning Jumbo-Visma's lead.

Spencer and Johan break down Remco Evenepoel's stunning performance, which saw him bounce back from his near-total collapse yesterday to win today's Stage 14 after getting into, and driving, the early breakaway over a difficult mountain stage through the Pyrenees. The duo speculates on what happened to Evenepoel on Stage 13, and if today's comeback means he is more, or less, likely to develop into a true GC superstar, before discussing Jumbo-Visma's incredibly dominant position.

Spencer and Johan speculate about what happened to Remco Evenepoel, who fell out of GC contention in spectacular fashion after cracking early on Stage 13 on the slopes of the Col d'Aubisque and lost over 27 minutes by the finish line, before breaking down the dominant performance from Jumbo-Visma, who solidified Sepp Kuss' GC lead, took the top three spots on the stage and now appear to have a historic sweep of the final overall podium within their grasp.

Johan, Spencer, and JB break down the past few stages of the Vuelta, mainly the individual time trial, which saw Filippo Ganna scorch the competition while Sepp Kuss put up a strong defense of his race lead with a surprisingly strong ride. They go over the strength of Kuss' position atop the overall standings coming out of the TT, and how QuickStep and Ineos have potentially mismanaged the past few stages. Afterward, the crew discuss the upcoming mountain stages in the Pyrenees, which feature the most demanding tests the GC contenders have faced so far, and how Kuss' rivals, mainly Remco Evenepoel and his QuickStep team, should approach attempting to take back time on the climbing specialist over an incredibly mountainous route, before touching on how Jumbo-Visma will handle their new, more complex, intra-team dynamics and how they think the upcoming stages will play out.

Johan, Spencer, and JB bring you up to speed on the first six stages of this year's Vuelta, from the chaotic opening weekend in Barcelona, to Remco Evenepoel's impressive mountain top victory to take an early GC lead on stage 3, Kaden Groves and Alpecin-Deceuninck's sprinting dominance and, of course, today's action-packed stage 6 that showcased Jumbo-Visma's tactical and physical superiority, placed Evenepoel on the ropes and turned the GC standings on their head with American Sepp Kuss currently sitting in an extremely strong position in second place overall minutes ahead of Evenepoel.

The crew also discuss Tadej Pogačar's repeated attacks in an attempt to win the stage from a breakaway, as well as Jonas Vingegaard cruising in to seal his massive 7+ minute victory over Pogačar and how his Jumbo team executed their pre-Tour plan perfectly for 21 straight stages.

The crew also discuss how Pogačar's second-straight Tour defeat, and third-straight Tour where he has lost time to Vingegaard in the third week of the race, highlight how his UAE team has sorely missed their former director Allan Peiper, and if there is anyone left who can challenge Jasper Philipsen on the remaining sprint stages.

Lance, JB, and George break down Jonas Vingegaard's commanding performance to win the crucial stage 16 time trial and significantly extend his overall lead over Tadej Pogačar. The crew discuss how the defending champion rode the perfect race, wonder if Jumbo knew all along that Vingegaard had such a dominant ride waiting against the clock, and debate what Jumbo's strategy will be for the rest of the Tour, before touching on Guilo Ciccone's clever strategy to hold onto the Polka Dot jersey, and the Adam Yates vs Carlos Rodríguez third-place battle.

Heading into the Tour's final rest day, Lance, JB, and George are again joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ's cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down the Tour's fifteenth stage, which saw the veteran Wout Poels get an impressive win from the breakaway to give his Bahrain-Victorious team their second stage win of the race, before getting into the still lock-stepped GC battle between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard further down the mountain. The crew also discuss Wout van Aert's strange tactics in the breakaway, how Jumbo's mid-race pileup could affect the third-week GC dynamics, the fight for the podium, and who between Pogačar or Vingegaard has the upper hand going into Tuesday's decisive time trial.

Lance, JB, and George are once again joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ's cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down the Tour's fourteenth stage and how Ineos grabbed two stage wins in as many days after Carlos Rodríguez successfully capitalized on Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard's brief stalemate on the brutal Col de Joux Plane climb before unleashing an impressive race-winning attack at the top of the descent and showcasing his technical skills en route to the stage win in Morzine. The crew discuss what Rodríguez's win means for his rumored ongoing contract negotiations with Movistar, the wisdom of Jumbo-Visma setting an incredibly hard line-to-line pace only to gain a single second in the GC standings, as well as how Pogačar attacking Vingegaard, only to be reeled in by an impressive steady-state effort from the defending champion, will affect the physiological side of the ongoing battle for the overall win. To finish the show, Michael Brandt from HVMN comes on to talk about the benefits of their Ketone-IQ product.

Today witnessed a monumental battle for the General Classification, not just between the top two contenders, but also leading to a significant reshuffle within the top 10. A remarkable shift in team dynamics unraveled, transitioning from UAE yesterday to Jumbo Visma today. Johan shares his insightful analysis of which leader currently exhibits greater strength and prowess.
Lance, JB, and George are joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ's cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down Michał Kwiatkowski's incredible effort to win the stage ahead of the GC group, and what the Tour's thirteenth stage, which took place on Bastille Day and finished up the tough climb of le Grand Colombier, showed us about how the GC picture will shake out in the looming alpine stages. They also discuss how Kwiatkowski has been allowed to re-find his winning ways due to the fall of the Ineos GC empire, and speculate how the teams of UAE and Jumbo will tactically approach tomorrow's brutal mountain stage, which takes the peloton up and over the infamous Col de Joux Plane and down a tricky descent to finish in the alpine town of Morzine.
