<description>&lt;div&gt;Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week in the company of former CSC, Sky and GreenEDGE communications maestro Brian Nygaard. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
After our Arrivée episode at the weekend, we discuss one or two talking points that we missed in the immediate wake of Sanremo - and the hot breaking news that Tadej Pogačar will ride Paris-Roubaix. &lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
There’s also a look at the Volta a Catalunya, where Lennard Kämna is making his comeback after a career-threatening crash a year ago. The episode features an interview with Kämna and also our weekly trip to Coorevits Corner, where Hugo is expecting E3 Harelbeke to deliver a few home truths. &lt;br&gt;
