If a group of management consultants went on a corporate yoga retreat to develop a cycling team, it would probably be Team DSM. Implacable rules, devoid of charisma, but undeniably good results given the budget and youth of the team - a testament to their strong development pathways.

I had to go to the internet and control c the ë in Citroën so for that reason alone you need to listen to this podcast, as well as AG2R having the best / worst kit and the GOAT Benoit Cosnefroy.

One of the strongest teams in cycling, that is capable of winning any race (GC or otherwise) on any given day, Bora-Hansgrohe have improved their classics squad but have some uncertainty in the GC leadership department, will it be Kelderman or Kamna at the Tour? Benji and Lanterne break it all down in this pod, including their expiring contracts, for one of their most anticipated previews.  ...

Confusing name, worse kits, big name riders out the door but Lanterne is geed up for EF Education - Nippo in 2021 and their young signings, this being the team he has a love-hate relationship with. Benji and Lanterne review their overperformed 2020 season, their transfers and select their teams for all the major races as well as maybe the spiciest hot takes to date.

The second best team in women’s cycling has its core largely unchanged for 2021, as well as a couple of sprinting additions to add some weapons in the pancake flat races. Their kits are cracked too.

The best rider on the world in 2020 was Anna van der Breggen and she is back for her last year as a cyclist given the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics.

Lotto Soudal = Caleb Ewan and Tim Wellens, thats all there is to it. Benji is an indirect sponsor of the team as well so query whether that is why they have put together so many WT wins on the budget they have.   Thumbnail Photo Cor Vos   LRCP Show Partner | https://lecol.cc/ LRCP Twitter | https://twitter.com/LanterneRougeCP Timestamps: Introduction | 0:00 2020 Season Review | 1:38 Tran...

The most cohesive team in cycling returns in 2021 with some unusual signings, a Spanish cobbler, an Austrian climber and a Colombian Superman. Benji and Lanterne break down these signings, as well as Movistar's lacklustre 2020 season and of course with some hot takes and predictions thrown into the mix.

A solid year in 2020 for Cofidis' star frenchman Guillaume Martin, but otherwise lacklustre results abounded with only 2 professional wins in their step up to World Tour level. Sponsors will be looking for a big improvement in 2021 - Benji and I will break down whether that is possible in this preview.

Our Preview of Astana-Premier Tech, a team built around 2019's best cyclist, Jakob Fuglsang as well as the mercurial Alexey Lutsenko and young gun Aleksandr Vlasov. Not so great on the cobbles, but elite in the ardennes and one week races, I think Astana will bounce back this year with some big wins as well as Vlasov potentially getting his first grand tour podium. We also have an interview with A...

The biggest team in cycling re-upped for 2021, with Team Ineos adding Tour de France podium placed Richie Porte, Dauphine winner Dani Martinez, Britain's young phenom Tom Pidcock, the mercurial Adam Yates and Belgian talent Laurens de Plus.

Lanterne and Benji preview what to expect from Deceuninck-Quick-Step in 2021, including their new signings, riders out of contract (basically everyone) what their strengths and weaknesses are and who should be their leaders for the monuments and grand tours. Perhaps a season of change for DQS in 2021, with some warning in 2020 with Almeida in pink for 15 days, but on paper their classics squad doe...

Here I am trying to get some easy ZZZ's in January when there is no racing going on and the next thing I know I receive a Whatsapp message from Benji at 3 in the morning and my phone is blowing up once I wake up later because Marc Hirschi, the Swiss Phenom, has had his contract terminated with Team DSM (formerly known as Sunweb) on January 5th. No reason has been given for his contract being termi...

The first of our previews for the World Tour teams in 2021, starting with Israel Start Up Nation, the team with arguably the biggest name signings and the most money spent on new transfers in all of cycling. Let us know down below whether you think the Froome signing is going to work out or whether it will be a disaster, we certainly let you know during this podcast. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com...

Lanterne and Benji sit down to discuss who is the best male time trial rider in the world, focussing on the following categories of time trial rider: 1. 10km or less pancake flat prologue (Tirreno stage 1); 2.
