S11 Ep21: A Perfect Gent

<div>In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe are joined by Renaat Schotte, one of the voices of cycling in Belgium, to review a scintillating weekend of Classics racing - and one that reaffirmed Jumbo-Visma’s supremacy ahead of the Tour of Flanders. <br> <br> We savour an E3 Saxo Bank Classic illuminated by three galáciticos of the pro peloton before going on to discuss an edition of Gent-Wevelgem that will be remembered for its hideous conditions, a stunning performance by one team and a remarkable act of generosity by their leader. <br> <br> The episode ends on a sombre note as, on the anniversary of Richard Moore’s passing, Lionel and Daniel reflect on the legacy and the void left by their friend, colleague and inspiration.  <br> <br> <strong>The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.</strong><br> <br> <strong>Follow us on social media:</strong><br> <a href="https://twitter.com/cycling_podcast">Twitter @cycling_podcast</a><br> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thecyclingpodcast/">Instagram @thecyclingpodcast</a><br> <br> <strong>Sports Podcast Awards shortlist</strong><br> The Tour d’Écosse series has been shortlisted for the 2023 Sports Podcast Awards.
