The final sprint showdown in the UAE, a tad late from us but we wanted to discuss the learnings from this sprint, what Ewan got right, the issues with Ackermann and reviewing the final GC standings for the race - Pogi the goatPhoto | Cor VosShow Partner | https://lecol.cc/Startlist and Stage Profiles | https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/uae-tour/2021/gc/overviewThanks for listening!

The first cobbled classic of the season, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad Men and Womens races on a cold but dry Saturday in Belgium. Would the favourites Quickstep and SD Worx be too strong with multiple leader options or could an underdog win? Would the Muur be too difficult for sprinters to make it into a reduced bunch? Both were certainly exciting races with plenty of tactics to discuss.Photo | Cor VosShow Partner | https://lecol.cc/Startlist and Stage Profiles | https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/uae-tour/2021/gc/overviewThanks for listening!

Adam Yates required over 40 seconds to unseat Tadej Pogacar from the leader's jersey in stage 5 of the UAE Tour 2021, the last mountain stage of the one week stage race, the gradual and relatively easy climb up to Jebel Jais.

Poggers vs Ineos choo choo on Hafeet, what more could you ask for on a Tuesday morning and once again the stage delivered.

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.Photo | Cor VosShow Partner | https://lecol.cc/Startlist and Stage Profiles | https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/uae-tour/2021/gc/overviewThanks for listening!

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.Photo | Cor VosShow Partner | https://lecol.cc/Startlist and Stage Profiles | https://www.procyclingstats.com/race/uae-tour/2021/gc/overviewThanks for listening!

A solid year in 2020 for Cofidis' star frenchman Guillaume Martin, but otherwise lacklustre results abounded with only 2 professional wins in their step up to World Tour level. Sponsors will be looking for a big improvement in 2021 - Benji and I will break down whether that is possible in this preview.LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/Time stamps:Disclaimer | 0:00Introduction | 1:252020 Review | 2:20Guillaume Martin 2020 | 3:182020 Transfers | 8:13Cofidis Leadout | 9:242021 Transfers | 13:41Cobbled Team | 22:48MSR Team | 27:20Ardennes Team | 30:21Giro Team | 32:30Tour de France Team | 33:14Vuelta a Espana | 37:082021 Win over/unders | 38:50You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

Our Preview of Astana-Premier Tech, a team built around 2019's best cyclist, Jakob Fuglsang as well as the mercurial Alexey Lutsenko and young gun Aleksandr Vlasov. Not so great on the cobbles, but elite in the ardennes and one week races, I think Astana will bounce back this year with some big wins as well as Vlasov potentially getting his first grand tour podium. We also have an interview with Astana Premier Tech's Managing Director Yana Seel, to discuss some of the background details about the business of cycling and managing a World Tour team.LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/Time stamps as requested you're welcome:Introduction | 0:002020 Season Review | 1:10Jakob Fuglsang Discussion | 2:20Transfers | 7:46Leaders review | 14:29Cobbled Team | 20:57Ardennes Team | 24:40Grand Tour Teams | 28:35Lutsenko Olympic Chances | 34:18Season Predictions | 37:30Interview w/ Yana Seel | 42:18You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

The biggest team in cycling re-upped for 2021, with Team Ineos adding Tour de France podium placed Richie Porte, Dauphine winner Dani Martinez, Britain's young phenom Tom Pidcock, the mercurial Adam Yates and Belgian talent Laurens de Plus. Benji and Lanterne discuss how GC leadership will play out for Ineos (will they miss Froome), whether they will be competitive in one day races and whether Egan Bernal will return stronger. LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

Team Ineos' big signing for 2021 and beyond, Tom Pidcock kindly joins the Lanterne during his January training camp to preview his 2021 season, discuss the benefits of cyclocross racing as preparation for the road, his target races and why the DMR has made Warzone less fun.LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

Lanterne and Benji preview what to expect from Deceuninck-Quick-Step in 2021, including their new signings, riders out of contract (basically everyone) what their strengths and weaknesses are and who should be their leaders for the monuments and grand tours. Perhaps a season of change for DQS in 2021, with some warning in 2020 with Almeida in pink for 15 days, but on paper their classics squad does not look to be the strongest in the world whilst their Grand Tour potential is on the rise.Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesenhttps://twitter.com/BenjiNaesenhttps://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYThttps://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

Here I am trying to get some easy ZZZ's in January when there is no racing going on and the next thing I know I receive a Whatsapp message from Benji at 3 in the morning and my phone is blowing up once I wake up later because Marc Hirschi, the Swiss Phenom, has had his contract terminated with Team DSM (formerly known as Sunweb) on January 5th. No reason has been given for his contract being terminated by either side, nor any other team confirmed as his next team. All very odd but somewhat in keeping with the way Team DSM has operated the last few years. Benji and I break it down in this podcast.Team DSM Statement | https://www.team-dsm.com/good-luck-marc/Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

The first of our previews for the World Tour teams in 2021, starting with Israel Start Up Nation, the team with arguably the biggest name signings and the most money spent on new transfers in all of cycling.Let us know down below whether you think the Froome signing is going to work out or whether it will be a disaster, we certainly let you know during this podcast.

Lanterne and Benji sit down to discuss who is the best male time trial rider in the world, focussing on the following categories of time trial rider:1. 10km or less pancake flat prologue (Tirreno stage 1);2. Rolling parcours (WC Yorkshire, Algarve 2020);3. 20-35km mostly flat (WC Imola);4. ITT with genuine climb (PDBF ITT and 2017 WC at Bergen);5. 50km+ TT (WC Yorkshire); and6. TT deep in the midst of a Grand Tour (Stages 20 in 2018 and 2020 Tour de France). You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

The news broke today that Mark Cavendish has signed a one year deal at Deceuninck-Quickstep for 2021, meaning that he will remain in World Tour for at least another year.

Benji and Lanterne deep dive into the Tour de France 2021 route, which was announced during the last week of the Vuelta a Espana. We love the increase in flat time trial kilometres, wish there was more of a queen stage, but overall think it is a better parcours than in 2020. We cannot wait to see how the teams choose their riders and leaders for what will surely be quite an open race.La Flamme Rouge Profiles of each stage - https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/viewtrack/389830Tour de France Official Route Website - https://www.letour.fr/en/overall-route Hosted on Acast.

Primoz Roglic got the job done at the Vuelta after an all time great season, but our job is not yet done, recapping this pugnacious race and talking about who impressed (or did not), should Carapaz be Ineos leader at TDF 2021 and how good is Hugh Carthy really.LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

A final decisive mountain stage finishing on the Covatilla climb. It delivered 5 minutes of action - but still made the race for red relatively captivating.

More sprint deviation controversy in today's stage but we doubt it affected the outcome, a select group of riders (including all GC favourites) made it over the last two climbs but then a messy finale eventuated after some questionable tactics from half the GC teams.LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

Big break went in big bad weather but bigger Bora were biden their time and waited until a mean headwind section in the last 20km to bring back the remnants of a tired Cattaneo in this 230 km stage. What resulted was an unexpectedly entertaining final 15km and a technical final sprint.LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

Despite Total Direct Energie doing their best to reduce the gap to the breakaway from 5 minutes to 90 seconds on today's stage 14 of the Vuelta a Espana 2020, the rest of the teams in the peloton did not help them out of either apathy or self-interest with a rider up the road in the breakaway. The stage would be decided by a technical 1km 6% climb, with a very sharp corner in the last 25m and with Woods, Wellens, Stybar and Soler in the break, we knew it would be a punchy finale.LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱Benji Naesenhttps://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBELanterne Rougehttps://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_ https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCyclingThanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.

The ninja turtles are back fighting it out on a Vuelta a Espana sprint stage which means it is not really a sprint stage at all, given the 1.5km 6% finale. The question was whether the GC contenders would care enough about this stage ahead of the brutal stages 11 and 12 coming up. LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/  You can always listen to our podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcast and Anchor. 📱  Benji Naesen https://www.instagram.com/benjinaesen  https://twitter.com/BenjiNaesen  https://www.youtube.com/c/BenjiNaesenBE  Lanterne Rouge https://www.instagram.com/the_lanterne_rouge_  https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeYT  https://www.youtube.com/c/LanterneRougeCycling  Thanks for listening! 💛 Hosted on Acast.
