Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are your guides through the latest headlines and talking points from the world of pro cycling, this week assisted by Tudor Pro Cycling ace Larry Warbasse, fresh from his successful week at the Tour of the Alps. 

We look back at the latest Tadej Pogačar tour de force at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and invite Larry to speculate about the rest of Pogačar’s season. There’s also a trip to Coorevits Corner, where Remco Evenepoel’s underwhelming performance in La Doyenne gives Hugo food for thought. 

In the final part of the episode, Larry takes us inside Michael Storer’s masterful performance at the Tour of the Alps. We also ask: how far can ‘Storerčar’ go at the Giro?
