S11 Ep132: Interstellar Alliance: the merger that could realign the pro cycling planets

The Cycling Podcast returns this week with an in-depth look at the news story that has rocked the sport over the past few days: the revelation by Dutch website Wielerflits that the existing Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quick Step teams may be about to join forces.

Daniel Friebe and ace Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch hear from the journalist who broke the story, Raymond Kerchoffs, and go on to discuss both the likelihood and the implications of any such move. Does it spell the end of the road for Primož Roglič at Jumbo-Visma ad the start of a new journey for Remco Evenepoel, perhaps alongside Jonas Vingegaard? We weigh up those possibilities and various permutations.

There's the usual round-up of the week's other news, including results of last weekend's European Championships.
