S10 Ep19: The Volta Down Under

<div>Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe are back to discuss the racing in Spain and Belgium.<br> <br> At the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya – or should that be Volta Down Under – Australian riders took the opening three stages and in Belgium we saw the World Cycle Path Championships, otherwise known as the Minerva Classic Brugge-De Panne.<br> <br> Daniel asks the key question – would you prioritise watching the race that takes place amid the gently rolling hills and verdant beauty of Catalonia, or on the semi-urban Belgian coastline? That might not be the exact wording but it was certainly a loaded question.<br> <br> We also look back at Milan-Sanremo and Matej Mohorič's use of mountain bike tech – the dropper seat post – to help him tackle the descent of the Poggio.<br> <br> Supersapiens is a continuous glucose monitoring system that helps you make the right fuelling choices.
