The Cycling Podcast’s kicked off 2024 in time-honoured fashion with our Speculation Episode - a chance for us and illustrious voices in the world of procycling to foretell the story of the approaching season.

Did we get everything or indeed anything right? Now, with the year drawing to a close, the three co-hosts for that first episode of the year - Daniel Friebe, Rob Hatch and Larry Warbasse - reconvene to reality-check what they and others said would happen in the season just gone. 

Who could see a Pog triple crown written in the stars? Who didn’t think Mark Cavendish would take his 35th Tour de France stage win? And what other egg are we left licking off our faces, at the end of an at times  eminently predictable, at times highly surprising campaign?
