446 Watts vs. Broken Chains: Flanders Preview & Gravel Disasters


Listen Later

It's Holy Week in cycling! We're breaking down the massive results from Gent-Wevelgem (In Flanders Fields) and E3 Saxo Classic as we build hype for the biggest race of the spring: The Tour of Flanders (De Ronde). Can anyone stop the dominance of Mathieu van der Poel now that Tadej Pogačar is back in the mix?

Closer to home, Pat recap his dramatic "race" at Heaven of The South gravel, involving a snapped chain, Old School mechanical fixes, and a 40-mile Zone 3 sufferfest. We also discuss 1x vs 2x gearing and Pat's upcoming "Isolation Training Camp" at The Forge in Lewiston, Idaho.

Tonight's Prologue (Brought to you by Big Barn Brewing): What is a mechanical failure that you recall pulling and knew better beforehand? (Hint: Pat fried a Roomba with a hose.)

Headlines (Brought to you by Thomas Hammer Coffee):

  • Gent-Wevelgem: The MVDP/WvA breakaway that almost won. Jasper Philipsen saves the day for Alpecin.
  • E3 Saxo Classic: MVDP's insane 446-watt solo attack. Are the "Big Three" untouchable?
  • Volta a Catalunya: Vingegaard’s Monastic Dominance. Does anyone have a chance at the Giro/Tour double?
  • Flanders Preview: The return of Pogačar and the Visma injury crisis.

Finally, we close with a special Broom Wagon Trivia segment: A Generational Battle pitting Paul (Retro) against Jackson (Modern).

Tune in for another round of cycling banter, analysis, and a post-ride beer with friends (and one asshole).
