The Speculation Episode
Season 9, Episode 1, Jan 14, 2021, 12:29 PM
What does 2021 have in store? In this first episode of the new year Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe gaze into their crystal ball, and we hear from François Thomazeau, Ian Boswell, Lizzy Banks, Ciro Scognamiglio, Mitch Docker, Harry Tanfield and Ben Lowe of VeloViewer, with their predictions for the upcoming cycling season.
Will young riders continue to dominate, or will the oldies have their revenge? Will ultra-narrow handlebars begin to proliferate in the professional peloton, and – less likely – will Daniel get his wish and see crosswinds “banned”?
There’s also an interview with Hugh Carthy, looking back on his third place at last year’s Vuelta a España and ahead to a new season in which he is looking forward to an enhanced role at his team, EF Education-Nippo.
