S9 Ep31: Life in the Peloton – Belgian cobbled Classics with Luke Durbridge

<div>The cobbled Classics in Belgium are such an exciting time of year and it's become a tradition for me to check in with my good buddy Luke Durbridge to talk about what makes these races so special.<br> <br> Luke is up in Belgium at the moment and has been riding all the Classics that lead up to the big one on Sunday – the Tour of Flanders – and Paris-Roubaix just over the border in France a week later.<br> <br> In this episode, we talk about how the races each have a character of their own and how the Grand Prix E3 is very different to Gent-Wevelgem. We talk positioning, fuelling and how to bounce back from a disappointing day as we answer some of your questions.<br> <br> I hope it gives everyone a bit of insight into what these unique races are like to ride.<br> <br> Until next time,<br> Mitch<br> <br> This episode is supported by Jaybird headphones.
