S11 Ep133: How Much is that Rog-lič in the Window?

<div>In this week’s bumper episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by French press-pack doyen François Thomazeau to discuss some dramatic events over the last seven days - and look ahead to il Lombardia at the weekend. <br> <br> <br> There’s the usual news round-up, then the labyrinthine tale of how Daniel tried to establish the 2024 destination of Primož Roglič. We also ponder the latest twists and turns in the Soudal-Quickstep/Jumbo-Visma saga and what they may mean for Remco Evenepoel, among others. <br> <br> <br> In the final part, there’s a look ahead to il Lombardia and the end of the road for TCP favourite Thibaut Pinot. We also bid farewell to François’ dear friend and Induráin-whisperer Francis Lafargue, who passed away last week. <br> <br> <br> There’s also the usual round-up of the week’s other news, including the results of last weekend’s European Championships.  <br> <br> <br> <strong>The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.<br> </strong><br> <br> <strong>Follow us on social media:<br> </strong><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/cycling_podcast">Twitter @cycling_podcast<br> </a><br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thecyclingpodcast/">Instagram @thecyclingpodcast<br> </a><br> <br> <strong>The 11.01 Cappuccino<br> </strong><br> Our regular email newsletter is now on Substack. <a href="https://thecyclingpodcast.substack.com/">Subscribe here</a> for frothy, full fat updates to enjoy any time (as long as it’s after 11am).<br> <br> <br> <strong>Science in Sport<br> </strong><br> The Cycling Podcast has been supported since 2016 by Science In Sport.
