S11 Ep2: Tricky, It’s Greener, Barcelona

<div>After the presentation of the 2023 Vuelta a España route in Barcelona on Tuesday, The Cycling Podcast takes a closer look at the 21 stages that will make up the peloton’s journey from the Catalan capital to Madrid in the summer. <br> <br> Daniel Friebe is joined by a pair of experts well known for their work on GCN and Eurosport - Rob Hatch and Laura Meseguer. We hear their thoughts on a route whose difficulty either impressed or appalled the riders present in Barcelona on Tuesday - but will happily leave a lighter carbon footprint than last year’s edition, hence the Woody Allen-inspired title of this week’s episode. <br> <br> There’s also the usual round-up of the week’s main news, including an interview with Allan Peiper. The Aussie is returning to Tadej Pogačar’s side at UAE Team Emirates after a break due to illness. <br> <br> The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.<br> <br> Pod Live Sport<br> The Cycling Podcast will be part of the line-up at Pod Sport Live at Kings Place in London’s King’s Cross on Sunday, February 12 2023.
