S12 Ep119: Goldeneye

By The Cycling Podcast

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Richard Abraham & Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch, as we look back at the World TT champs last Sunday and ahead to the men’s elite road race at the weekend.

Remco Evenepoel’s victory sealed an historic Olympic-Worlds TT double…but the Belgian could yet achieve an even unlikelier feat if he adds Sunday’s road race title to the gold medal he earned in Paris in August. Tadej Pogačar nonetheless remains the favourite - and a first world title for him at the weekend would complete a remarkable sequence of his own: the same Giro-Tour-Worlds ‘Triple Crown’ that only Eddy Merckx and Stephen Roche have achieved before in men’s cycling. 

The British team will hope that neither Pog nor Remco leaves Zürich with the (RR) rainbow jersey - and their head coach, Matt Brammeier, tells us what to expect on Sunday from the likes of Pidcock, the Yates brothers and Stephen Williams.
