The Cycling Podcast

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to review the latest headlines and talking points from the world of pro cycling, this week in the company of Tudor Pro Cycling ace Larry Warbasse, aka ‘The Motown Maestro’. While the Classics leave the flatlands of Flanders behind and head south towards hillier terrain, Larry has been getting ready for his big goal of the spring, the Giro d’Italia, in Spain’s Sierra Nevada. We hear what he’s made of the duel that has provided the central plot of the Classics so far, Pogačar versus Van der Poel, and also about high-altitude Giro prep.  There’s also Coorevits Corner and a look back at another remarkable week for team UAE Emirates, crowned by João Almeida’s victory in Itzulia.  Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast’s coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.
