Episode 48 – 2019 Season Review – Part 1
Finally it’s the Flammecast & Velocast Cross over you’ve had nightmares about. Derek is joined by both John & Scott and they take a rose tinted look back at the first half of the 2019 Season. They discuss the classics, the rise of Wout Van Aert, Mathieu Van der Poel and the transition in sprinting. They also look at Team Ineos, Bernal and all associated with that.
It’s funny after this Podcast was recorded two things happened. The first was that Fat Elvis sacked his Coach and secondly Brian Holm basically confirmed what we were discussing in the Podcast about Deceunick Quickstep. Required reading after this podcast are these three articles.

Going into the 2020 Season it looks like Team Ineos has the strongest team of all time put together. In reality, is this true? Or could they be heading for what looks like a different style of team altogether?
When you say the names Carapaz (Current Giro Winner), Bernal (Current Tour de France Winner), Thomas (Last year’s Tour de France Winner) and Froome (4 x Tour de France, Giro, 2 x Vuelta) you have to wonder what they can’t win next year, in reality how do you manage these riders and get them to ride for someone else.
