In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Larry Warbasse of Décathlon-AG2r La Mondiale and Team USA, plus Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch, as we look back at the men’s elite world championship road race that took place in Zürich last Sunday. The build-up to the rainbow jersey showdown had been soured by the news of Swiss rider Muriel Furrer’s death after her crash in the junior women’s road race on Thursday. We start by paying tribute to Furrer and imagining what could be some of the learnings from the tragedy.  We then dissect Tadej Pogačar latest, superlative-defying performance on Sunday, examine some of those no-longer outlandish comparisons with Eddy Merckx and ponder what may be Pog’s next major goals.   Follow us on social media: Twitter @cycling_podcast Instagram @thecyclingpodcast The 11.01 Cappuccino Our regular email newsletter is now on Substack.
