S14 Ep23: Hell of a Debut
About this episode
The episode features stories from Paris-Roubaix debutants and discussions on the impact of race decisions and injuries on upcoming classics.
Three very different Paris-Roubaix debutants share their stories in this month’s mini feature. We hear from long-time Classics stalwart Shirin Van Anrooij, youngest finisher Jente Koops and Alexis Magner who comes to the race after recovering from a life-threatening crash last season. Before that, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Lizzy Banks discuss their big take-aways from the cobbled classics and how the current rider injury list might shape the Ardennes Classics to come. We also delve into the decision by race organisers ASO to move the women’s Paris-Roubaix from Saturday to a shared slot with the men on the Sunday. And explore in what ways the race’s limited TV coverage could have wider ramifications for the sport. Also on the agenda: Lizzy’s many goats, cyclist ribs on the barbecue and hold on, did Denny just quit?
