A shorty episode this month as we catch up bike news, talk about the Palouse to Cascades and why railroad grade kills, and recap our thoughts around the wrap-up of the Giro d'Italia.

Racing has been hot in this seasons mid-classics. Dropper posts in Sanremo and Sprints up the Kwaremont. We've had a few corkers lately.

In spite of over a month of racing, the true opening weekend is the last weekend in February with Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne. We look at both races and give our hot hot takes on Strade Bianche
