Lanterne Rouge Cycling Podcast

If a group of management consultants went on a corporate yoga retreat to develop a cycling team, it would probably be Team DSM. Implacable rules, devoid of charisma, but undeniably good results given the budget and youth of the team - a testament to their strong development pathways.

Intermarché - Wanty - Gobert Matériaux move up to World Tour level for the first time this year, taking over the CCC WT license, and 2021 will not be kind to them.

There is a lot to look forward to for Team DSM Women in 2021, with Lorena Wiebes being the best sprinter in the world and improving her cobbled racing, as well as a litany of young riders with talent and scope to improve.

If your team wins the Tour de France then they are the envy of all of pro cycling - big over performance from UAE in 2029. However can they replicate that in 2021? Benji and Lanterne preview the team and see why they might be even better in stage races.Photo | Cor VosShow Partner | https://lecol.cc/Thanks for listening!

Time for change for FDJ, with Pinot going to the Giro and their key rider now a favourite sprinter, surely headed to the Tour de France, Arnaud Demare. Benji and Lanterne break down whether the change of schedule and direction will suit Pinot, whether Demare can repeat his 2020 level and whether David Gaudu really should go for GC.

The first World Tour level race kicks off this weekend with a seven stage race in the UAE. Two genuine mountain top finishes, 4 pure sprint stages, and a 13km flat ITT makes this a simple yet intriguing stage race. One for the sprinters or true GC riders (no puncheur stages at all), we will see Pogacar, Bennett, Ewan and Almeida start their season here with big ambitions.

A pancake flat stage with a couple of intermediate sprints, 176km through the desert couldn't be particularly exciting until the inevitable bunch sprint in the final 1km...right?

Pogacar is a miner, Ganna is superman, Bisseger is better than you think and a ghost hit Tiberi. All that and more in this recap of the second stage of the UAE Tour 2021, a 13km flat, twisty ITT which would shake up the GC standings ahead of the big mountain top test up Hafeet tomorrow in Stage 3.

Poggers vs Ineos choo choo on Hafeet, what more could you ask for on a Tuesday morning and once again the stage delivered. Could Pogacar hold off one of the best one week racers in the world, would Almeida crack or save his 2nd position on GC and would Sepp Kuss take his newfound freedom and convert it into a big stage win?

Flat stage, zero wind, bunch sprint with the majority of the big guns minus Groenewegen and Demare. Who would have the best leadout train and would Pascal Ackermann jump too early once again?
