The Cycling Podcast

As the dust settles on another cobbled Classics season – and some who made it to the Roubaix velodrome on Sunday are still wiping the grit and in one or two cases tears from their eyes –  Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie take a last look back at the Hell of the North in the company of former WorldTour pro and cobblestone connoisseur Mitch Docker. We hear Mitch’s thoughts on another superlative performance by Mathieu van der Poel and also speak to a rider who was making his debut in the race on Sunday – INEOS Grenadiers’ teen marvel Josh Tarling. After that, we take stock after another huge race that concluded last weekend – the Tour of the Basque Country – and look ahead to the second half of the Classics season, starting with Amstel Gold at the weekend.   The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.
