We kick things off here, with Daniel Friebe, Brian Nygaard and Rob Hatch looking ahead to the next three weeks of action, first in Albania and then Italy.First, we examine a route that may lack summit finishes but should deliver excitement from the middle of stage one. The riders on the startline should also see to that, particularly the stacked field of GC contenders led by pre-race

The Giro d’Italia rolls out from Albania on Friday and in doing so will introduce cycling fans to one of the more mysterious and probably misunderstood countries on the continent of Europe. We, too, knew very little about the 'Land of Eagles' but, in January this year, were invited on a remarkable treasure hunt that began with a listener’s enigmatic direct message into Daniel Friebe’s Twitter inbox. The story that then revealed itself - without giving too much away here - was one of an epic

The Cicle Classic is England's answer to the spring classics. Paris-Roubaix is the Hell of the North so perhaps this ought to be known as the Beast in the East. The race celebrates its 20th anniversary this month, with the 2025 edition taking place on Sunday, April 27. Held in the East Midlands, the race criss-crosses the countryside, taking in rough, rutted farm tracks. If it was created today it would be considered a gravel race.
