Team Jayco AlUla 2024 Preview | Lanterne Rouge Cycling Podcast 

Bling got COVID before MSR , so was under-prepared for the cobblec classics, he then crashed in Flanders, and it was miracle that he won a stage in the Giro - He then rested to prepare for the World's and unfortunately crashed in a lead up race in Spain - It was a terrible season.

Inofficial LR 2024 WorldTour-Win-Predictions Tracker Alpecin-Deceuninck (17 in 2022) - Benji 13 / Patrick 12 Jayco AlUla (4 in 2022) - Benji 6 / Patrick 8 TOTAL: Benji 19 / Patrick 20 (out of 179 including GCs)

LRCP: "We will try to do the previews alphabetically" Also LRCP: Jayco as 2nd team 😅

Hey guys, I’m a huge fan of the podcast, and I’m loving these WT team previews. I think it would be great if you also discussed any changes in team equipment or equipment sponsors. Thanks for everything you do!

Benji needs to trademark the phrase "If I recall correctly". It sounds so scholarly 😍🤣

With Jayco signings you also have to take into account that they are currently the only WT team sponsored by Giant. So the team might sign riders from markets Giant deems important. There were strong rumors that is one of the main reasons they signed Groenewegen. Could be the same for the Italians.

Love your vids❤. I heard it on Spotify.

Can't wait for the Bora review

Appreciate these previews....it helps the road racing off-season seem ongoing (to a degree). I think I'll be more dependent and thankful for LR now that we've lost GCN+ in the US and don't yet have an alternate option for many races. I do have Flobikes and Peacock +, yet even with those subscriptions there's a lot of cycling that isn't available in the US. Happy Holidays, gentleman, and thanks for all these superb podcasts 🏆

Ewan and Groenewegen - One will ride Giro and Vuelta and the other one the TDF - Schmid was used as a domestic at QS for the second half of 2023.

Where have you ever seen Matthews take the wind for more than 30 seconds. He has absolutely no role as leadout. Mezgec did an awesome job this year. The number of times he was in 3rd wheel was insane. The problem was that Gronewagen and Matthews failed to hold the wheel. Luka got a chronic sore neck from looking backwards to see where the F his sprinters were.

Mauro Schmid is LR's roman empire. He goes to bed dreaming of a Schmid ardennes triple that sends Lefevre into a mid season retirement.

My favourite team. I hope they can achieve more victories this season. Maybe Bling and MSR?

You are forgetting Campbell Stewart who is being groomed to replace Mezgec.

Why no chapters?:(

It was Adam Yates who crashed in a decent , allowing Alaphilippe to win stage 16 in the 2018 Tour.

JAYCO has invested and improved (IMOH) - BUT Seb Berwick has chosen the wrong destination (Caja Rujal)

40:40 - Pat's hot take is that Simon Yates wins the Giro - wonder if it still stands knowing now that UAE has announced Pogi is going... 🤣

Walscheid to win P-R

Davide de preto and foldager are really good riders, they bossed the u23 and dropped me many times 😢

Actually it could have been maybe Bling’s best season ever if he had some luck

Remember couple years ago then Jayco passed on Jimmy Whelan, who would have signed for minimum. Disgraceful unAustralian behaviour. The non signing of Berwick is just as disgraceful. If it wasn’t for Durbo they’d be dead to me lol

Mauro Schmidt will win both WC and Olympic gold, I will be there for both and I will do whatever it takes

Matthews can't be a leadout because of his ego

I know there is some presenter bias for this particular episode but... some teams only deserve half show.
