S9 Ep31: Life in the Peloton Belgian cobbled Classics with Luke Durbridge
b'
The cobbled Classics in Belgium are such an exciting time of year and it\'s become a tradition for me to check in with my good buddy Luke Durbridge to talk about what makes these races so special.
\\n
\\nLuke is up in Belgium at the moment and has been riding all the Classics that lead up to the big one on Sunday \\u2013 the Tour of Flanders \\u2013 and Paris-Roubaix just over the border in France a week later.
\\n
\\nIn this episode, we talk about how the races each have a character of their own and how the Grand Prix E3 is very different to Gent-Wevelgem. We talk positioning, fuelling and how to bounce back from a disappointing day as we answer some of your questions.
\\n
\\nI hope it gives everyone a bit of insight into what these unique races are like to ride.
\\n
\\nUntil next time,
\\nMitch

\\nTheme music
\\nThe theme music for Life in the Peloton was composed by Pete Shelley, who was lead singer of the punk band Buzzcocks. It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4\\u2019s coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show. Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete\\u2019s widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton. To hear more about the music, listen to the Andre Greipel episode of Life in the Peloton.
