Lanterne Rouge Cycling Podcast

Hosted by Lanterne Rouge Cycling

Two cycling analysts deliver in-depth, tactical race recaps and news analysis for dedicated fans of professional road cycling.

The brief

A co-hosted conversation show focused entirely on the strategy and performance of professional road cycling. Episodes are typically either daily recaps of stages during Grand Tours and other major races, or longer weekly roundups covering news, controversies, and team updates. The hosts leverage their direct experience within the pro peloton to offer a level of analysis that goes far beyond typical sports commentary.

The hosts' real-world credentials—one as a current WorldTour team's Head of Strategy and the other as a former team analyst—give their commentary unmatched authority and depth. Their ability to dissect team tactics, rider performance data, and race-defining moments sets them apart from more general sports podcasts.

What you'll be asked on this show

How Lanterne Rouge Cycling interviews

The episodes provided for analysis are not guest interviews but co-hosted discussions. The format is a dynamic conversation between Patrick Broe and Benji Naesen, where they break down races and cycling news. Therefore, an interview style cannot be detailed.

The show is a two-host conversational analysis. Episodes often begin with light personal catch-ups before diving into detailed race recaps, complete with discussions of team strategies, rider form, and controversial moments. They have recurring segments like the "LRCP Weekly" news roundup and the "Medical Bulletin" for rider injuries. The production is agile, with hosts sometimes recording from remote locations like a car in a train station parking lot to provide timely coverage.
