The Fantasy Cycling Podcast

No rest for the weary! The dust has barely settled on the Giro and the Dauphiné is already upon us. The Tour's biggest warm-up race will host the return of Roglič, Remco and Landa. Will they jump right back in the swing of things or will the young guns, Ayuso and Rodríguez, capitalize off their lack of racing days? --- Follow us on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cycling Fantasy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ app, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@and...

The Giro d'Italia is coming to a close. This week we take a look at how things are concluding in Italy as well as what is in store over in Norway. Wout van Aert will be back for his first race since the Dwars door Vlaanderen crash.

In part one of our double feature Giro d'Italia preview we recap the results from Romandie and take a cursory glance at the Giro startlist. Although still a provisional startlist, we have a good idea of who will be the main protagonists of the first Grand Tour of the 2024 season. Tadej Pogačar is the favorite for the general classification, but there will be a lot of action across the next mon...

The Ardennes Classics come to a close this Sunday with what looks to be a wet and cold Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Tadej Pogačar is the obvious favorite but will the peloton put a damper on his virtually perfect season thus far? We also discuss the Tour of the Alps and what the Giro d'Italia has in store. --- Follow us on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Cycling Fantasy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ app, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@anderson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@ggardner...

We put the cobbles behind us and look forward to the Ardennes Classics. A strong startlist at Amstel Gold Race will put Mathieu van der Poel to the test.

An up-and-down couple weeks for the peloton leads us into a Paris-Roubaix edition that features a major route change on the most iconic secteur pavé . We know Mathieu van der Poel is in form, but will it favor fellow cyclocross champ Tom Pidcock who is a late add to the start list? --- Follow us on the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Cycling Fantasy⁠⁠⁠⁠ app, ⁠⁠⁠⁠@anderson⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠@ggardner⁠⁠⁠ , and on X (Twitter), ⁠⁠@lis...

We had to peel John out of his beach chair to chat about the Tour of Flanders. De Ronde still stands to be an exciting edition despite the big Dwars door Vlaanderen crash impacting the startlist. Will we see a surprise winner take a flyer on the Oude Kwaremont or will MVDP make it his third victory? --- Follow us on the ⁠⁠⁠Cycling Fantasy⁠⁠⁠ app, ⁠⁠⁠@anderson⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠@ggardner⁠⁠ , and on X (Twit...
