About this episode

Rose Manley and Lizzy Banks discuss the final Spring Classic of 2026, Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes, exploring potential winners and the season's highlights.

Get the waffle-o-meter out for one last time as Rose Manley and Lizzy Banks react to the the final Spring Classic of 2026, Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes. With the Ardennes Classics providing both surprise winners and familiar champions so far this season, which way will this tenth edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège go? Could breakout star Paula Blasi go for victory once more this week? Might Demi Vollering make it a record-breaking third title at the race? Or could Kasia Niewiadoma finally take the top step after a season littered with podiums? Also on the agenda: a picnic’s worth of puns and Preston Bus Station… obviously.
