Arrivée | Milan-Sanremo double bill
No spoilers here: Our episodes are online now
No spoilers here in case you are planning to watch either the men’s or women’s editions of Milan-Sanremo on catch-up, but our twin episodes of Arrivée unpicking all the action are online now.
Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie as they dissect a men’s race for the ages. Whose name was not on the VIP list but he gatecrashed the party anyway (however briefly), and just how far will a pasta analogy stretch? Meanwhile, Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell cover the women’s race, which was last held between 1999 and 2005 and returned to the calendar after an absence of 20 years.
The Cycling Podcast will return in midweek to pick up any post-race stories we missed from La Primavera before turning our attention to the Volta a Catalunya (the stage race with the smartest leader’s jersey), and the resumption of the cobbled Classics with the E3 Saxo Classic and Gent-Wevelgem.

Our spring coverage is supported by Laka
A big welcome back to Laka, who supported The Cycling Podcast from 2018 to 2021 and have returned as title sponsors of our spring Classics coverage.
Why more cyclists are switching to Laka
The Spring Classics are where legends are made – cobbles, climbs, and unpredictable chaos. Whether you're braving the pavé of Paris-Roubaix, climbing the Poggio at Milan-San Remo, or just tackling your local roads, you need specialist bike insurance that goes further than you think.
That’s where Laka comes in. Unlike traditional insurers, Laka’s collective model means no fixed upfront premiums. Instead, your monthly contributions are based on actual claims within the community – so fewer claims mean you pay less. And with no depreciation and no excess, your gear is covered at its full value.
But what really sets Laka apart? Their award-winning customer service. Just ask Hugo: ‘I was expecting a long and tedious claims process, but instead, Laka stepped in and transferred the full insured amount for my damaged bike – no hassle, no delays. I don't think many companies would go that far to support their customers.’
Laka is proud to be sponsoring The Cycling Podcast’s Spring Classics coverage, and listeners can get their first 30 days free with the code TCP30 at laka.co/tcp. Because when the road gets rough, Laka’s got your back.
