## Resource

The Cycling Podcast returns to recap the latest round of cobbled Classics, with the E3 Saxo Classic and In Flanders Fields neatly teeing up the Ronde van Vlaanderen this weekend. Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie examine both races in detail, looking at how Alpecin-Premier Tech made it another superb weekend for them. First up was Mathieu van der Poel’s latest cobbled clinic in E3…not that he didn’t leave us guessing until the final kilometre. A similarly nailbiting pursuit match the following day saw MvdP reunited with old foe Wout Van Aert, though it was Jasper Philipsen who finally prevailed. We ask what this all means for the big one at the weekend, with a little help from faithful Flandrian correspondent Hugo Coorevits. We also cover the big talking points from the Volta a Catalunya, which was dominated by Jonas Vingegaard.
