  • Summary

  • Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling – this week with ace TNT commentator Rob Hatch.

    We revisit some of the big talking points after the Ronde van Vlaanderen at the weekend, including Mathieu van der Poel’s disrupted preparation and what the result means for Eddy Merckx-Tadej Pogačar comparisons.

    Of course on Sunday Pogačar could achieve a feat that no one since Merckx has managed – winning Paris-Roubaix as the reigning Tour de France champion. Can he do it? And if not, could the subject of another Coorevits Corner this week, Belgian sweetheart Wout Van Aert, be the man to thwart him?
