A few days on from Tadej Pogačar’s extraordinary victory in Milano-Sanremo, we return to add an extra layer of analysis to our Arrivée episode on Saturday.

Tudor Pro Cycling’s Larry Warbasse joins Daniel Friebe to discuss what most impressed him about Pogačar’s latest masterclass and other talking points from La Classicissima. We also reflect on how a performance that was widely celebrated has already prompted much more lukewarm reactions – and where we can find a middle ground.

There’s the usual weekly trip to Coorevits Corner ahead of a huge weekend in Belgium, plus impressions on first skirmishes in the Volta a Catalunya.
