Arrivée | Paris-Roubaix
Join Lionel Birnie, who is in the André-Pétrieux velodrome in Roubaix, and Daniel Friebe as they recap the 122nd edition of Paris-Roubaix. With Tadej Pogačar making his much-anticipated debut in the (senior) race, and Mathieu van der Poel aiming for a third consecutive victory – something that hasn’t been done since Francesco Moser ruled the pavé (1978-1980), the Hell of the North was billed as a showdown between these generational talents. But with half-a-dozen other genuine contenders, it also promised to be an open race. Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast’s coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka .

Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray in the André Pétrieux velodrome as they record their post-race reaction to the fifth edition of Paris-Roubaix Femmes Avec Zwift. With world champion Lotte Kopecky aiming for a second consecutive Hell of the North win – which would also make her the first woman to do the Flanders-Roubaix double in the same season – can anyone stop Classics specialists SD Worx?

Old Pog, New Tricks
Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling – this week with ace TNT commentator Rob Hatch. We revisit some of the big talking points after the Ronde van Vlaanderen at the weekend, including Mathieu van der Poel’s disrupted preparation and what the result means for Eddy Merckx-Tadej Pogačar comparisons. Of course on Sunday Pogačar could achieve a feat that no one since Merckx has managed – winning Paris-Roubaix as the reigning Tour de France champion. Can he do it? And if not, could the subject of another Coorevits Corner this week, Belgian sweetheart Wout Van Aert, be the man to thwart him?

Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton pick over what was set to be a fiercely contested Tour of Flanders. Defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini heads up the top favourites for the race and arrives in fine form following her Dwars Door Vlaanderen victory. Meanwhile, World Champion Lotte Kopecky comes to the race without a win to her name this season but on the lookout for a historic third title in De Ronde.

Supersonic Aircrafts
Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week with top TNT commentator Rob Hatch. We discuss an intense weekend of racing, with a pair of key appetizers before the Tour of Flanders: E3 Harelbeke and Gent-Wevelgem. The two semi-Classics saw Mathieu van der Poel and Mads Pedersen in superlative form, so who, besides Tadej Pogačar, could possibly stop them in Flanders on Sunday? Wout Van Aert’s chances are the subject of this week’s Coorevits Corner. We also look back at the Volta a Catalunya and the latest tour de force by Primož Roglič.

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. 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.

Arrivée | Milan-Sanremo women
Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell cast their eye over one of the most hotly anticipated races of the year, Milano-Sanremo Donne. The last time the race was staged for women was 20 years ago, leaving plenty of intrigue over how it would be approached by this current crop of riders. This season’s battle of SD Worx versus Demi Vollering was expected to continue into this race. The Dutch team boasted both World Champion Lotte Kopecky and super sprinter Lorena Wiebes in their line-up, making them the team to beat. However, former alumnus Vollering – now of FDJ Suez – got the better of them at Strade Bianche and looked to do it again on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio. There were plenty of contenders for the inaugural Milano Sanremo Donne title elsewhere too. Trofeo Binda champion Elisa Balsamo heads up Lidl-Trek, Elisa Longo Borghini looks to make a big impression as Italian champion and Kasia Niewiadoma races for the first time since her Strade Bianche crash.

Fresh(ish) from finishing Tirreno-Adriatico, Larry delivers his verdicts from The Race of the Two Seas. Who, if anyone, was hot in the often frigid weather conditions? And who still has work to do ahead of Milan-Sanremo on Saturday. Daniel spent the week on the other side of the Med at an even soggier Paris-Nice. We discuss a successful title defence for Matteo Jorgenson there and other highlights. There’s also the latest instalment of ‘Coorevits Corner’, plus some pre-Sanremo speculation.

A Good Return
With old grudges and new rivalries playing out on the gravel roads of Tuscany, Strade Bianche offered up plenty to talk about in this month’s episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Rose Manley and Denny Gray are joined by cycling broadcaster Rebecca Charlton to discuss all the juicy details, plus they look ahead to the return of Milan-Sanremo with a mini-feature about the race’s predecessor, the Primavera Rosa. Ever since Demi Vollering's move to FDJ-Suez and Anna Van der Breggen announced her return to the peloton last year, anticipation of a fierce rivalry between the pair has been rising. After Strade Bianche and their first meeting at Setmana Valenciana, it is fair to say that the match-up has already more than exceeded expectations. Van der Breggen has proven to be the only rider in the peloton capable of matching Vollering for power and tactical nous, although Vollering has thus far always come away with the spoils. Strade Bianche also saw former world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot take third place, in her first spring Classic since 2018. Plus the race was a welcome showcase for the top riders in the peloton after something of a stalemate at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad which saw a surprise victory for Lotte Claes. In anticipation of the inaugural Milano-Sanremo Donne, we take a look back at the race’s precursor – the Primavera Rosa – which ran for seven editions from 1999 until 2005. The race took place on the last 118 kilometres of the men’s Milan-Sanremo, on the same day and included the same Poggio and Cipressa climbs and Via Roma finish. We offer up a potted history of those editions and hear some first-hand accounts from people that were there including Marion Clignet, podium finishers Chantal Beltman and Ina Teutenberg, 2005 champion Trixi Worrack and photographer Mario Prato. Also on the agenda, hippopotamus races, bumping into your ex with 30 toilet rolls and the battle of the names: Nienke Vinke vs Lotte Claes.

Can’t See Him For Dust
Lionel Birnie, Rob Hatch and Brian Nygaard recap Strade Bianche, where Tadej Pogačar recovered from a crash, picked himself up from the adjacent field and still managed to see off a spirited challenge from Tom Pidcock. We ask whether Pidcock should have waited – and whether, indeed, waiting was what he did – and discuss what the rest of the peloton can do to stop Pogačar when he’s in such irrepressible mood. With the peloton split between two week-long stage races, Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico, this week we keep an eye on the likely storylines, including an aggressive start to the Race to the Sun.

Very Strange Racing Behaviour
Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back to review the latest news and racing in the world of procycling, assisted this week by ace commentator Rob Hatch. ‘Opening Weekend’ may not have lived up to all the hype but both Omloop het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne did serve up some juicy talking points. Among the hottest topics in the Belgian media were Visma-Lease a Bike’s toils - and they’re also on the agenda in this week’s ‘Coorevits Corner’, our weekly check-in with Flandrian cycling oracle Hugo Coorevits. In part three of the episode, we look ahead to Strade Bianche and Paris-Nice at the weekend. One of the favourites for overall victory on the Promenade des Anglais a week on Sunday, Pavel Sivakov, also shares some childhood memories of “The Race to the Sun” and discusses newfound confidence since joining UAE Team Emirates last year.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back to review the latest news and racing in the world of procycling, assisted this week by Tudor Pro Cycling stalwart Larry Warbasse aka ‘The Motown Maestro’. Tour de France rivals Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard both began their seasons last week - both with instant success. Pogačar’s GC win in the UAE Tour came thanks to stage victories in the two mountain stages to Jebel Jais and Jebel Hafeet, while Vingegaard left it late with his final-day TT triumph in Portugal. In part three of the episode, Larry updates us on an encouraging start to his season. We then premiere a new feature for the Classics season – Coorevits Corner – starring veteran Belgian reporter Hugo Coorevits.

Ving The Changes
Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie welcome Brian Nygaard for his first podcast appearance of 2025, as we look ahead to another prominent Dane’s return to action this week. Jonas Vingegaard starts his bid to topple Tadej Pogačar at the Volta ao Algarve in Portugal, after a year and particularly a Tour de France that left them wondering what, if anything, they could do to dethrone the Slovenian. We ponder the question while also discussing what other impediments, besides his rivals, that Pog could encounter on his path to a fourth Tour win. We also hear from one of Vingegaard’s key lieutenants, Matteo Jorgenson, and reflect on the weekend’s races in Portugal, Spain and France.

Over The Rainbows
In the February episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Jo Rowsell pick over the UAE Tour, a race which often offers up some key insight for the season ahead. Plus we look at some of the junior world champions of the past in our mini feature. There’s plenty to discuss from the UAE Tour, as Elisa Longo Borghini took a commanding overall victory while Lorena Wiebes went almost unchallenged as she swept up all three sprint stages. Some other big favourites didn’t fare so well though. Pauline Ferrand Prévot has made no secret of her Tour de France Femmes ambitions since her comeback but was noticeably absent among the first finishers on the top of Jebel Hafeet. While the new line-up at FDJ-Suez failed to take home a top ten on any stage. In our mini feature we speak to former and present junior world champions and see how they’ve fared since hitting the elite ranks. We hear from Lucy Van der Haar nee Garner who retired five years ago, Canyon-SRAM rider Zoe Backstedt, current junior champion Cat Ferguson and Laura Stigger who was scouted by Anna van der Breggen to join SD Worx this year. Also on the agenda… more baby news, some deserved gloating by Jo and reminiscing over Orla’s car sickness.

Le Crunch
Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch return to recap all the latest stories and racing as the stars of the international peloton commence their 2025 campaigns. In Oman, there’s a battle royale between two Frenchmen and an Englishman – and, ultimately, the same final result as in another recent sporting contest. We also discuss an excellent week for Colombian riders, with Egan Bernal and Santiago Buitrago both flying high. Finally, in the last part of the episode, we sink our teeth into the most controversial issue of the week – the exodus of top teams from the Étoile des Bessèges amid fears for riders’ safety but also for the future of small races in the sport’s heartlands. To bring a little perspective on that issue, we hear from Lidl-Trek’s directeur sportif in Bessèges, Steven de Jongh.

Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch are back to recap all the latest stories and racing as the season swings into action in Europe. A little further afield, in the Middle East, Tom Pidcock was enjoying a rip-roaring start to life with his new team, Q36.5 – and we assess to what extent the Briton's victory there could set the tone for his season. We also look at the main takeaways from the GP Marseillaise, where teenage sensation Paul Seixas enjoyed a stunning debut for Décathlon-AG2R La Mondiale. And finally, at the other end of France, the world cyclo-cross championships took place in Liévin – and we hail a historic seventh rainbow jersey for Mathieu van der Poel.

KM0: Never Mind The Balearics – Trofeo Palma
That's a wrap for the Challenge Mallorca. Lionel Birnie heads to Palma for the final race in the series hoping for dry weather and an incident-free race. Then he reconvenes with Rob Hatch in a soggy, Sunday evening Sóller to recap the day. We hear from Michael Valgren of EF Education-Easy Post and Lotto sports director Dirk De Mol about the cancellation of Saturday's race. And Lionel and Rob take a detour to Palma's two famous velodromes – one old, one new. We play out with The Cycling Podcast's original punk, François Thomazeau. He was once a member of a punk band called Special Service and we hear their track Marseille ou Kingston.

KM0: Never Mind The Balearics – Trofeo Pollença
The fourth race in the Challenge Mallorca series was cancelled because of crashes on the opening circuit. But that doesn't stop Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch talking Balearics for twenty five minutes or so. We discuss the safety issues and the impact of the cancellation on the race. Then we ask whether the Vuelta a España could return to the island of Mallorca for the first time since 1991*, and ponder whether innovative, alternative race formats might be the answer to the safety issues. *Corrections Corner – the Vuelta also visited Mallorca in 1998 when Fabrizio Guidi won in Palma and Abraham Olano won a time trial in Alcúdia.

We’re back! In the first episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin of 2025, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Jo Rowsell are looking ahead to what promises to be an enticing road season. We offer up our 'bold predictions' (thanks Denny!) for the coming months, sparking arguments galore as we work out which count as downright ‘fanciful’ and which are seemingly probable. Potential Grand Tour victors, Anna van der Breggen’s return and winning opportunities for some young pretenders are all up for debate. Plus we discuss the first Women’s World Tour race of the season – the Tour Down Under – and reflect on what it might mean for the rest of the year. Noemi Rüegg was the overall winner in Australia, cementing her champion status after a breakthrough season last year. There were also stage wins for Daniek Hengeveld and Chloe Dygert, and a first peek at some new look teams.

They also endured the horror of ‘the kebab shop hotel’, soaked up the sights, sounds and flavours of France, and almost ran out of gas before the Tour concluded in Nice.

Relive some of the highlights of the first Grand Tour of the season, the Giro d’Italia, with this compilation of some of our best moments from Italy in May. Daniel Friebe and Brian Nygaard were your guides, Tadej Pogačar the race winner and dominator. Along the way, an eclectic cast of characters also made memorable contributions - from Ciro Scognamiglio to Larry Warbasse, a professional truffle to Carlo Ancelotti’s childhood best friend.

Quizmas Crackers
It’s beginning to look a lot like… a bumper Christmas episode from The Cycling Podcast Féminin. In the true style of an old Christmas TV special, this episode has a bit of everything: chat, music, cameos from a few familiar voices and of course the feared and revered Christmas quiz. First up, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton pull out their favourite moments from an exhilarating and sometimes contentious year of cycling. The hosts are spoilt for choice in a season which saw the closest ever finish to a Tour de France, an Olympic road race which came down to the final kilometre and a Classics season which saw the spoils divided among comeback queens and breakthrough stars. Add to that more than a few moments of team in-fighting playing out on the road and the result is one of the best racing seasons in memory. Then Denny and Rebecca go head-to-head as we look to crown our 2024 Christmas quiz champion. There’s a brand new round this year - the 'What’s That Sound?' round to add to returning favourites 'Blankety Crank' and 'Cryptic Criterium'. And it wouldn’t be our Christmas quiz without some squabbling, upset and a deterioration in professionalism from all involved. Also on the agenda: Mastermind board games, the Tour de Wandsworth and a Juliette Labous cocktail.

Review of 2024 - Ep.7: True Rolf, The Redbull Reign Idea
For the penultimate instalment of our Review of 2024 series, we reprise and re-iterate on one of the most popular episodes of 2023, a long & very in-depth interview with Redbull-Bora-Hansgrohe Head Sports Director Rolf Aldag. The venue is again Mallorca, the occasion is again the team‘s first training camp of the winter, & once again posing the questions is Daniel Friebe. Last year, Aldag was looking ahead to Primoz Roglič‘s first season with the team - & precisely that is the main topic of conversation here, with Roglič’s huge disappointment at the Tour de France & season-ending triumph at the Vuelta a España.

Review of 2024 - Ep.6: Man of the Year
On the eve of Time Magazine naming its ‘Person of the Year’ for 2024, we offer absolutely no surprises by naming Tadej Pogačar our man of the year just past. ‘Pog’ has been briefing the media on what to expect from him in 2025 - and Fran Reyes has been on the ground in Spain taking notes. In this episode, Fran tells Daniel Friebe and Richard Abraham what he’s heard from the Slovenian and some of those who either masterminded or assisted his all-conquering season. Before all of that, we also discuss the two main news headlines of the week: Patrick Lefevere leaving his CEO position at Soudal-Quick Step and Tom Pidcock signing for Q36.5.

Review of 2024 - Ep.4: The Speculation Audit
The Cycling Podcast’s kicked off 2024 in time-honoured fashion with our Speculation Episode - a chance for us and illustrious voices in the world of procycling to foretell the story of the approaching season. Did we get everything or indeed anything right? Now, with the year drawing to a close, the three co-hosts for that first episode of the year - Daniel Friebe, Rob Hatch and Larry Warbasse - reconvene to reality-check what they and others said would happen in the season just gone. Who could see a Pog triple crown written in the stars? Who didn’t think Mark Cavendish would take his 35th Tour de France stage win? And what other egg are we left licking off our faces, at the end of an at times eminently predictable, at times highly surprising campaign?

Pass the Dutchies
It’s a bumper transfer special on The Cycling Podcast Féminin this month. In what is proving to be one of the busiest and most significant transfer markets in recent memory, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Orla Chennaoui discuss all the major moves. With so many of the peloton’s biggest champions making the switch, we pick out which transfers excite us and surprise us the most. We’ll be discussing the comebacks of former world champions Anna van der Breggen and Pauline Ferrand Prevot in detail as well as looking at the consequences of moves by the likes of Elisa Longo Borghini, Niamh Fisher-Black, Juliette Labous, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and of course Demi Vollering. Our mini feature takes us back to the Tour de France Femmes where Rose and Denny explored why the Dutch always dominated the women’s road racing scene. We speak to Team SD Worx’s Lorena Wiebes and Mischa Bredewold and former pro Iris Slappendel, and get an outside perspective from British riders Lizzie Deignan and Becky Storrie. Also on the agenda, we ask what would your grandma rather eat: a mint chocolate selection box or a chocolate orange?

Review of 2024 - Ep.2: Annus Horribilis
We continue our review of the men’s 2024 professional season, this week focussing on the riders, teams and trends that had a year to forget. After Daniel’s controversial suggestion last week that it was in fact such a bad year that it was a good one for INEOS Grenadiers, who will come under the spotlight this time around? Rob Hatch has at least one nomination for a team that fared worse than the Brits - while Richard Abraham is blowing raspberries at the whole, once great cycling nation of France after its lacklustre few months. Cofidis certainly didn’t wow anyone in 2024 - and we hear from one of their departing riders, Harrison Wood, about why it became an annus horribilis for that team.

One Foot in the Gravel
On this month’s episode of Féminin, Orla Chennaoui joins Rose Manley and Denny Gray to look ahead to the Tour de France Femmes 2025. With the route announced by race organisers ASO last week, we offer up our thoughts and predictions on what should be a gripping nine days of racing. We can also finally discuss one of the biggest transfers in women’s cycling. After months of speculation (and some acrimony), Demi Vollering has officially confirmed that she will be moving to FDJ-Suez on a two year contract. But with French GC hopefuls Juliette Labous and Evita Muzic already there, we explore whether FDJ’s co-leadership tactics are going to pay off. Plus following the recent UCI Gravel World Championships won by Marianne Vos, this month’s mini feature is on the rapid rise of gravel racing. We hear from 2023 Gravel World Champion Kasia Niewiadoma and British gravel racer Danni Shrosbree about why more and more road racers are taking on the discipline.

Lonely G.O.A.T
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is on Fran Reyes’s home turf - Granada in southern Spain - and that pair is joined by Richard Abraham for another week of analysis and reflection on, yes, yet another Tadej Pogačar masterpiece, this time at the Tour of Lombardy. The build-up to the final Monument of the season had been enlivened or overshadowed - depending on your viewpoint - by Tom Pidcock’s shock exclusion from the INEOS line-up. We examine the likely consequences of that - and the possible reasons. It’s then time for another attempt to contextualise arguably the finest cycling season of all time by a male rider, and certainly the most extraordinary since Eddy Merckx’s ‘cannibalistic’ reign.

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Larry Warbasse of Décathlon-AG2r La Mondiale and journalist Richard Abraham, as we review the action from a soggy Giro dell’Emilia last weekend in Bologna - home of the cured meat known there as ‘mortadella’ & in the USA as, ahem, baloney. No surprise, it was the newly crowned world champion, Tadej Pogačar, who would bring home the, er, oversized bacon-like sausage - quite literally as a large lump of the stuff was among his prizes. We discuss that, look forward to Saturday’s Il Lombardia & also hear from Taco van der Hoorn about his remarkable comeback victory at the Betcity Elfstedenrace last week.

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Larry Warbasse of Décathlon-AG2r La Mondiale and Team USA, plus Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch, as we look back at the men’s elite world championship road race that took place in Zürich last Sunday. The build-up to the rainbow jersey showdown had been soured by the news of Swiss rider Muriel Furrer’s death after her crash in the junior women’s road race on Thursday. We start by paying tribute to Furrer and imagining what could be some of the learnings from the tragedy. We then dissect Tadej Pogačar latest, superlative-defying performance on Sunday, examine some of those no-longer outlandish comparisons with Eddy Merckx and ponder what may be Pog’s next major goals.

With an inter-team rivalry at SD Worx that has been building all year, the race was expected to be a showdown between defending World Champion Lotte Kopecky and all-conquering Demi Vollering. But also lining up were Tour de France Femmes champion Kasia Niewiadoma and Giro d’Italia champion Elisa Longo Borghini who come to the race with renewed confidence this year. Young stars like Puck Pieterse and Neve Bradbury also had the chance to prove themselves with a World Champion U23 title on the line in the same race. With the rainbow bands at stake, who will reign supreme?

Goldeneye
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Richard Abraham & Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch, as we look back at the World TT champs last Sunday and ahead to the men’s elite road race at the weekend. Remco Evenepoel’s victory sealed an historic Olympic-Worlds TT double…but the Belgian could yet achieve an even unlikelier feat if he adds Sunday’s road race title to the gold medal he earned in Paris in August. Tadej Pogačar nonetheless remains the favourite - and a first world title for him at the weekend would complete a remarkable sequence of his own: the same Giro-Tour-Worlds ‘Triple Crown’ that only Eddy Merckx and Stephen Roche have achieved before in men’s cycling. The British team will hope that neither Pog nor Remco leaves Zürich with the (RR) rainbow jersey - and their head coach, Matt Brammeier, tells us what to expect on Sunday from the likes of Pidcock, the Yates brothers and Stephen Williams.

Worlds Apart
The Cycling Podcast Féminin is back! Returning for the first time since the Tour de France Femmes, Rose Manley and Denny Gray are this month joined by double Olympic gold medallist Jo Rowsell. We look back at the Tour de Romandie where Team SD Worx's Lotte Kopecky dramatically took the overall win at the expense of usual stage racing leader Demi Vollering, doing nothing to quell rumours of a shift at the team. We dig into some of the transfer speculation that has been rife among the women’s peloton and we look ahead to the World Championships at the end of September, picking out our top contenders for the relentlessly punchy parcours. Our mini feature this month is on riders who grew up far from the traditional cycling heartlands. Kim Le Court of Mauritius, Antri Christoforou of Cyprus and Catalina Soto of Chile reveal their journeys to the professional ranks and what it is like to line up at most races as the sole representative for their nations. Plus Jo faces the big question on everybody’s lips: is Belgium a cheese country?

The Zürich Worlds & What’s Love Got To Do With It
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Richard Abraham & Swiss journalist Emil Bischofberger to look ahead to next week’s World Cycling & Para-cycling Championships in Emil’s home town, Zürich. We discuss the city’s, ahem, generally lukewarm feelings about the Worlds & whether they may have changed in just over a week’s time. We also look at the courses & zero in on the home nation’s medal hopes, which rest mainly on the shoulders of Marc Hirschi. Also - & perhaps most importantly - what’s Tina Turner got to do with it?

Vinos de la Vuelta
WARNING: EPISODE CONTAINS VERY LITTLE CYCLING CHAT! Our Vuelta coverage started earlier this week with a pre-race KM0 very much inspired by this year’s Portuguese ‘Gran Salida’, plus our usual XL Preview episode - and the build-up continues with our now traditional wine-lover’s guide to the route. As usual, Dvine Cellars have put together a case designed to take your taste buds where the peloton will ride over the next three weeks. On Thursday, before flying to Lisbon, Daniel also headed to Dvine's London HQ for some, ahem, vital last minute prep - and below you can hear his conversation with our and Dvine’s resident guru of the grapes (or maybe “Sultan of Smashability”??), Greg Andrews. UK residents can order the Vuelta selection here - https://dvinecellars.com/products/the-cycling-podcast-la-vuelta-24 - while overseas listeners should glean enough from Daniel’s chat with Greg to assemble their own approximation.

We find out what happened out on the road after the yellow jersey changed hands during a stage that had been originally classified as ‘flat’ and ponder on what this huge upset in the standings might mean for the final GC. Plus we hear from the Swinkels sisters - Karlijn and Sylvie - who are racing together, or rather against each other at the Tour de France Femmes for the first time.

With plenty of Classics specialists among the GC contenders the stage certainly offered much to talk about.

We also hear from the likes of Anna van der Breggen and Kasia Niewiadoma about the stage 3 time trial which might prove vital in the GC battle. Plus of course, we continue Denny’s quest to find more delicious local cheese and discuss which riders are worthy of the ‘Big Cheese’ title.

Tour de France Femmes Preview
The Cycling Podcast Féminin has everything you need to know about what has quickly become the biggest race in women’s cycling - the Tour de France Femmes. Rose Manley and Denny Gray take a close look at the eight stages that will take the riders from Rotterdam to the Alps across a week of racing. Special attention is paid to the upcoming Queen stage in our mini feature on Alpe d’Huez. While the men’s peloton have visited the iconic climb 31 times at the Tour, the women last raced there over 30 years ago during the Tour Feminin. We investigate the origins of the Alpe’s legend and speak to some female racers who have competed there in the past. Plus Rose and Denny weigh up who might be the biggest contenders for the fabled yellow jersey. While Demi Vollering has looked unbeatable across this year’s stage races, she lines up at the Tour with a somewhat depleted SD Worx team who are missing some of their strongest domestiques. Meanwhile Kasia Niewiadoma has enjoyed something of a resurgence this year, supported by a Canyon-SRAM squad which continues to discover new depths. Plus no-one can discount Giro d’Italia winner Elisa Longo Borghini, looking to make it a Giro-Tour double. And while the racing is highly anticipated, so too are the cheese possibilities as Rose and Denny prepare to embark on their own Tour de France, where they will be doing daily podcasts on-the-ground, beginning on 12th August.

In this episode of Arrivée, Daniel Friebe and Décathlon-AG2R La Mondiale ace Larry Warbasse reflect on a memorable men’s Olympic road race in Paris. A 272km race with just 90 starters promised to be a gruelling affair - and certainly a spectacular one with its three ascents of the Butte de Montmartre to one of Paris’s most famous landmarks, the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. Could Mathieu van der Poel justify his favourite’s billing after a low-key Tour de France - or would his eternal rival, Wout Van Aert form a deadly duo with countryman and newly crowned Olympic TT champ Remco Evenepoel? These and other questions were answered on Saturday afternoon - and Daniel and Larry review what we found out here.

Don't Call It A Comeback
We’re dragging listeners back to Italy as The Cycling Podcast Féminin tackles the Giro d’Italia Women, which was won in spectacular fashion by Elisa Longo Borghini. Rose Manley is joined by Denny Gray and special guest ex-Olympian Joanna Rowsell to pull out all the biggest headlines from the race. For our mini feature, we use the anticipated return of Anna van der Breggen to the women’s peloton as a springboard to find out what it takes to retire from racing and come back. Rose speaks to Ruth Edwards née Winder who retired in the same year as Van der Breggen only to return this season in flying form, already claiming a title in Thüringen and two podium finishes at the Giro. Edwards’ breakthrough wasn’t the only story of the race as the second Grand Tour of the women’s calendar proved to be every bit as thrilling and hard-fought as it had promised. We witnessed the birth of a new rivalry between eventual winner Elisa Longo Borghini and all-round superstar Lotte Kopecky who trailed the Italian by only one second going into the final day. There was plenty of interest elsewhere as well with seven different teams sharing the stage victories at the race and the emergence of some new names to the roll of honour.

Dear Diary
In this month’s episode of Féminin, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Orla Chennaoui cast their eyes over recent racing at the Tour de Suisse and come dangerously close to speculation as they ponder what it might mean for the year’s biggest races and beyond. Demi Vollering’s winning run shows no signs of letting up after taking three stages and the overall win at the Tour de Suisse. But how much could her expected departure from SD Worx at the end of the season stifle her ambitions? And who are her likely rivals? Plus, this month’s mini feature follows four riders and their changing fortunes at the Tour of Britain Women. We hand the microphone over to SD Worx super domestique Christine Majerus, DSM-firmenich road captain Pfeiffer Georgi, youngest rider in the race Eilidh Shaw and Lucy Harris, a full time meteorological data scientist competing at her first ever WWT race. And lastly we look ahead to the forthcoming women’s Giro d’Italia which hasn’t been won by anyone other than Anna van der Breggen or Annemiek Van Vleuten since 2016. The route boasting time trials, sprints, hilly stages and a fearsome finish on Blockhaus, and with Demi Vollering not starting, we look at who might be capable of winning the maglia rosa. We discuss emerging talents Neve Bradbury and Kim Cadzow and Lidl-Trek’s joint leaders of Elisa Longo Borghini and Gaia Realini.

With the Giro d’Italia now in the rear-view mirror Tadej Pogačar can afford to put his feet up (relatively-speaking) and watch how his likely rivals for the Tour de France fare in their final warm-up races. Daniel Friebe is at the Critérium du Dauphiné having transformed into Television’s Daniel Friebe by entering the nearest telephone box before emerging with a slightly bigger microphone. He handed over the baton to Graham Willgoss, who will be part of our Tour de France team alongside Richard Abraham and Mitch Docker.

Girovagando 2024: The Highlights
The Giro d’Italia that ended last weekend was the ninth The Cycling Podcast has covered on the ground, in full, with daily episodes from every stage. Over that near decade, it’s fair to say that our love of the ‘Corsa Rosa’ and its host nation has deepened and broadened with every edition. Daniel Friebe was initially nonplussed with the route unveiled last autumn - thinking it lacked sporting uncertainty and both historical and topographical showpieces - but the journey from Turin to Rome ended up both reviving old loves, revealing new ones and providing a compelling canvas for the racing itself, for all that Tadej Pogačar robbed the General Classification contest of any suspense. In this podcast, you’ll hear some of Daniel’s personal highlights from road trip he shared with Brian Nygaard - and to which you, as listeners were vicariously invited, down and up ‘The Bel Paese’, on and off-course, hopefully into the soul of the Giro d’Italia.

Better Late Than Never
In the May episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton look back over the recent Spanish stage racing from the comfort of their own cabaña. Questions may have hung over Demi Vollering’s form after a consistent if lacklustre run in the Spring Classics, but the SD Worx rider answered in no uncertain manner with three dominant performances across the Vuelta Femenina, Itzulia Women and Vuelta a Burgos. Some unexpected rivals emerged though, most notably Evita Muzic who is priming herself to be France’s great hope at this year’s Tour de France Femmes. The team also discuss a huge comeback win for Lotta Henttala at the Vuelta a Burgos, her first victory in over five years after struggles with both her physical and mental health. This month’s feature visits the topic of latecomers to the sport. These are riders who make the jump from regular jobs to elite racing careers in their late 20s and 30s. We hear from Jayco-Alula’s Mavi Garcia, Movistar’s Mareille Meijering and Coop-Repsol’s Monica Greenwood about their journeys into cycling and the peculiar life lessons they’ve learned along the way.

An interview with Lizzy Banks
For the past 10 months, Lizzy Banks has been fighting to clear her name after an anti-doping test taken in May 2023 returned an adverse analytical finding for two substances. She was informed of the test result 79 days later. The two substances were formoterol, a medication she'd been using within the permitted level to treat asthma. The second, chlortalidone, was a diuretic she had never heard of. Unless she could prove contamination the twice Giro stage winner faced a two-year suspension. Her investigation cost her career, her life savings and took a huge emotional toll on her and her family. When she could no longer afford full legal support, she investigated the case herself. Her medical training helped and the case she compiled led the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) to drop a scheduled tribunal and return a verdict of no fault, no negligence and no suspension. Nevertheless, the rules state she has four anti-doping rule violations against her name, her career as a pro cyclist is over, and her reputation is harmed. Lizzy has worked for The Cycling Podcast and so in the interests of transparency we asked Tom Cary, senior sports correspondent of The Telegraph, to conduct this independent interview. The episode is introduced by Rose Manley. A warning, this podcast does contain references to suicide and suicidal thoughts. A few abbreviations will come up, so just to give some clarity: • WADA is the World Anti-Doping Agency • UKAD is the UK Anti-Doping Agency, which is responsible for making sure that British athletes comply with the WADA code • CAS is the Court of Arbitration for Sport, an independent institution involved in resolving legal disputes in the field of sport • AAF is an Adverse Analytical Finding - commonly known as a positive doping test • MRL stands for Minimum Reporting Limit. The concentration below which a substance will not trigger a positive test • ADRV stands for Anti-Doping Rules Violation Reference is also made to the cases of Shari Bossuyt and Toon Aerts. Both riders were given two year suspensions for testing positive for letrozole, which both claim is the result of food contamination.

Arrivée | Vuelta Femenina 2024
We’re looking at the first ‘Grand Tour’ of the season in this Arrivée episode from The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Rose Manley and Denny Gray of The British Continental pick out the big stories from a week of varied and exhilarating racing. SD Worx came to the race looking for redemption after being narrowly denied the Vuelta title in last year’s controversial edition, but their leader Demi Vollering had a lot to prove after a disappointing Spring campaign. Her closest rivals - Kasia Niewiadoma and Elisa Longo Borghini - had both already taken landmark wins this year and were on confident form. There’s also plenty to discuss away from the GC race, in a course that offered up high mountains, a team time trial, breakaway success and chaos causing crosswinds.

The XL Giro Preview
The Giro d’Italia starts here! We begin Girovagando 2024 - our comprehensive coverage of the first Grand Tour of the 2024 season - with our now time-honoured XL preview, ahead of Saturday’s Grande Partenza in Turin. Daniel Friebe is joined by Brian Nygaard and Rob Hatch for a thorough examination of riders, race route and the big questions ahead of an edition that Tadej Pogačar is widely expected to win. The episode features exclusive interviews with two men who have seen first-hand just how thoroughly Pogačar has prepared for his first appearance in ‘La Corsa Rosa’ - Team UAE Emirates’ Performance Coordinator Jeroen Swart and climbing lieutenant Rafał Majka. We also discuss cultural highlights on the route, what to look forward to from our podcasts in the next month - and one terrifying threat that will loom over the whole race when we get to Naples.

KM0 Special - The April Episodes
In this special episode of The Cycling Podcast - before our Girovagando coverage cranks up next week - we both revisit and preview six new KM0 episodes either released earlier in April or still to come before the Grande Partenza in Turin on May 4. As ever, we’ll be serving up daily podcasts from on the ground in Italy, where the mood music in the run-up to the race has been dominated by Tadej Pogačar and his Giro-Tour bid. No surprise, then, that we’ll dedicate three KM0 episodes to ‘doubles’ of varying kinds - specifically, the last successful Giro-Tour slam by Marco Pantani, the football team that achieved Italy’s first Scudetto-Coppa Italia double and to whom the Grande Partenza is dedicated…and Pogačar’s own bid. There are also extracts from our own ‘double-header’ - How to Become a Pro Cyclist and How to Become an Ex-Pro Cyclist featuring Jack Burke and Joe Dombrowski respectively. And, speaking of new roles, we also meet INEOS Grenadiers freshly appointed CEO, John Allert.

Arrivée | Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2024 | Women’s Race
In this final Arrivée episode from the Ardennes Classics, Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton take a close look at this year’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes which was full of twists and turns both literally and figuratively. The scene was set for something of a final grudge match between some of the biggest winners and unexpected losers of the Ardennes week. Team SD-Worx came in hoping to rebuild something of their ‘invincible’ status having not taken a win in the Ardennes. But with Elisa Longo-Borghini in flying form and Kasia Niewiadoma on a high after her Flèche Wallonne victory, last year’s triple crown winners could expect challenges from all sides. And after a week full of surprises, Liège-Bastogne-Liège promised more of the same. buycycle Arrivée is brought to you by buycycle – the online marketplace for used bikes, where cyclists buy and sell pre-loved bikes with complete confidence.

In this episode of Arrivée, Daniel Friebe and Richard Abraham reflect on a 2024 edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège that had been billed as a clash of the Titans between the two outstanding riders of the season so far, world champion Mathieu van der Poel and 2021 Liège winner Tadej Pogačar. With the Amstel Gold and Flèche Wallonne winners, Tom Pidcock and Stephen Williams, also on the starting grid, Pogačar and Van der Poel perhaps weren’t going to have it all their own way.

With SD Worx still smarting from a mis-step from Lorena Wiebes at the Amstel Gold Race, the team was looking for revenge at the second Ardennes race of the week, particularly with defending champion Demi Vollering in their ranks. But they’ll face a huge challenge from Lidl-Trek, buoyed by Elisa Longo Borghini’s win at Brabantse Pijl.

Tom, Slick…& Larry
In this week’s regular episode of the The Cycling Podcast, Richard Abraham and Rob Hatch join Daniel Friebe to look back on Sunday’s Amstel Gold Race - before Décathlon-AG2R Mondiale stalwart Larry Warbasse reports from his pre-Giro d’Italia altitude camp on Mount Etna. After a challenging start to the season for INEOS Grenadiers, Tom Pidcock’s victory in Amstel on Sunday was balm for the British team’s morale and confidence. We ask whether it could also be a watershed moment in the Yorkshireman’s career - particularly with this year’s Tour de France in mind. Larry’s eyes and focus are set firmly on the Giro - and, in the last part of the podcast, the “Motown Maestro” reveals how he and team leader Ben O’ Connor have built towards ‘La Corsa Rosa’.

In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe visits top Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch at home - or is it vice versa - and they’re joined by the now-retired cobbles maestro Mitch Docker for a considered look back at the events of the last week. After the usual round-up of the big stories, it’s back to last weekend and Paris-Roubaix. After the unique insight into British national champion Fred Wright’s preparation for the “Hell of the North” featured in our Arrivée episode on Sunday, there’s more of the same today. We also hear from two riders who made memories while missing the time-cut, before reflecting on Mathieu van der Poel’s latest masterclass. The headlines away from Roubaix were dominated, regrettably, by a horrendous crash at the Tour of the Basque Country.

After three explosive editions since the inaugural women’s race in 2021, expectations were high for the 2024 race. The odds were in Lidl-Trek’s favour having taken the win twice before. However, Team SD Worx were looking for revenge after being kept off the podium at last week’s Tour of Flanders with World Champion Lotte Kopecky hoping to continue her string of impressive results.

Flanders Classic?
In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is again joined by journalist Richard Abraham and former Classics maestro Mitch Docker, as we revisit the men’s Tour of Flanders on Sunday and review some of the more salient and controversial talking points from ‘Vlaanderens Mooiste’. Mathieu van der Poel’s third Flanders victory was his most emphatic to date, but his triumphant solo move on the Koppenberg - while others floundered in his wake - also raised questions about whether that iconic climb should be removed from the Ronde course. We discuss this, Michael Matthews’ relegation in the sprint for the minor places, plus the accomplished performances of Movistar and runner-up Luca Mozzato. In the last part of the episode, thoughts then turn to Paris-Roubaix next weekend and the Tour of the Basque Country - where the ‘home team’ is lining up with a surprising import.

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by former Classics stalwart Mitch Docker and the journalist Richard Abraham, as we look back at last weekend’s pre-Ronde van Vlaanderen appetisers, the E3 Saxo Classic and Gent-Wevelgem. Friday saw the latest masterclass from Mathieu van der Poel in E3, which underlined his status as the outstanding favourite for De Ronde. Forty-eight hours later, though, Mads Pedersen’s victory over Van der Poel in Gent-Wevelgem led some to wonder whether Lidl-Trek had happened upon the perfect blueprint for defeating the Dutchman - not that the strategy will be easy to implement on Sunday. In the final part of the podcast, we hear from a rider for whom just being on the startline on Sunday will represent a personal triumph - the Dane Michael Valgren, whose career was almost ended by a horror crash in the 2022 Route Occitanie.

Last Woman Back
Our mini-feature this month focuses on the final riders to complete Paris-Roubaix. Riders who have had to overcome difficult circumstances to reach the end of one of the most formidable races in cycling, even when they finished way outside of the time limit. We speak to Ilaria Sanguineti, Eluned King and Senne Knaven about what motivated them to push past crashes, injuries and calamitous conditions to reach the famed velodrome and what it is like to ride the famous cobbles once the race is already long gone. We also have plenty of race analysis from the first few Classics of the season. Rose Manley is joined by Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton to pick apart what could be a changing of the guard at the top of the women’s peloton. Elisa Balsamo outsprinted rider-of-the-moment Lotte Kopecky to take the spoils at Trofeo Binda after a huge effort from her team. With Lidl-Trek finally taking the top spot after improving results and rising confidence, we ask: what gave Lidl-Trek the winning edge and could it finally end SD Worx’s winning dominance? We also discuss Ellen Van Dijk’s victorious return from maternity leave, pick out rising stars Mareille Meijering and Puck Pieterse, and make a rare detour on to the track to reflect on Laura Kenny’s golden career following her retirement.

The Pog & Phoneline
This week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast comes from the latest stop on Daniel Friebe’s springtime Mediterranean tour, Mallorca, and precisely the home of Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch. That pair are joined by journalist Richard Abraham, as we revisit some of the most compelling storylines from Milan-Sanremo at the weekend. Jasper Philipsen’s victory on Via Roma meant heartache for Tadej Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates team - and prompted questions about their strategy. Will Pog now have to rethink his not-yet-winning formula in La Classicissima, particularly in light of his newly declared ambition to become the greatest rider in history? Speaking of history, in a special investigation, Daniel sets off in search of a piece of Sanremo’s. And, speaking of the future, Mathieu van der Poel has just committed the next decade to one company, as Rob reports. NordVPN This episode is supported by NordVPN.

American Flyers
This week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast is a special dispatch from the Côte d’Azur, partly recorded at the home of our own Captain America - better known to us as Décathlton-AG2r La Mondiale’s ‘Motown Maestro’ Larry Warbasse - and featuring an exclusive interview with Visma-Lease a Bike’s newly crowned Paris-Nice champion, Matteo Jorgenson, on the morning after his triumph on the Promenade des Anglais. Larry and Daniel Friebe kick off with a recap of some of the week’s big stories, including Paris-Nice. Jorgenson’s victory was the most important in his flourishing career to date - and, over coffee in Nice’s Vieux Port, the Californian by birth, Idahoer by upbringing and Niçois by adoption tells Daniel how he overcame pre-race favourite Remco Evenepoel and childhood friend Brandon McNulty. After that, also in Nice, we hear journalist François Thomazeau’s reflections on what was due to be his final Race to the Sun. In the last part, it’s back to Larry’s secluded hideaway in Èze to hear about his week in Italy at Tirreno-Adriatico. Larry will also be in action at Milano-Sanremo at the weekend - and he reveals some of the secrets of La Classicissima here, while also pondering what Tadej Pogačar has to do to win.

The Whole Pog
In this week's episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and journalist Richard Abraham are back in the bike race bubble at Paris-Nice, where two of the Big Four contenders for this year's Tour de France start to piece together their preparations for July. Remco Evenepoel comes fresh from victory at the Volta ao Algarve but is taking on a stage race on French soil for the first time in his career. Meanwhile Primož Roglič looks to open his account for his new team, BORA-hansgrohe, at a race he won in 2022. We discuss the expectations of both riders and hear from experienced Australian Jack Haig on what makes Paris-Nice a race of singular difficulty. Of course we also tackle the weekend's big talking point, namely the exploits of another one of the Big Four, or should that be the Super Six: Tadej Pogačar at Strade Bianche. Daniel and Richard hear from Pog's former teammate Matteo Trentin and digest an 81km solo victory that will undoubtedly go down as one of one of his greatest hits.

Mum's the word
We’re looking at motherhood in our February episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. With Ellen Van Dijk’s much-anticipated return from maternity leave on the horizon, we explore the growing trend of racers returning to the peloton post-baby. Rose Manley speaks to Lizzie Deignan, one of the first women to be supported by her team to a return to racing and her agent Emma Wade, as well as new mum and Uno-X rider Joss Lowden, former Trek-Segafredo rider Abi Van Twisk and former British champion Meg Backstedt (née Hughes). Rose is also joined by Orla Chennaoui and Denny Gray to look at the recent racing, most notably a rare debut win for the GOAT Marianne Vos at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad. Discussion descends into bickering as the team try to decide how well Lidl-Trek played their tactics at the race after finishing third and fourth. We also ponder Lotte Kopecky’s recent transformation after showing off her climbing legs on the UAE Tour’s Jebel Hafeet and wonder how that might affect a seemingly tense relationship with teammate Demi Vollering.

Yellow Fever
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by the veteran French journalist François Thomazeau and the Aussie former Classics maestro Mitch Docker to recap Opening Weekend - the Belgian double-header dominated, as per the predictions, by the Visma-Lease a Bike team. Wout Van Aert was the favourite for Saturday’s Omloop het Nieuwsblad and indeed looked to be zeroing in on victory until the peloton him down in the closing kilometres. It was left to Jan Tratnik to ‘save’ Visma-Lease a Bike and take the win…with Van Aert having to wait until the following day’s Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne to open his Classics account for 2024. We discuss these and other notable performances from the two races, and also hear from Bahrain Victorious’s Fred Wright about what went…wrong for him at Omloop. Julian Alaphilippe, too, has had better weekends, and would have been hoping for a better response to his boss, Patrick Lefevere’s, recent criticism in the Belgian media. Nevertheless, we ask: what exactly was Lefevere playing at?

Weekend Warriors
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by the journalist Richard Abraham & top commentator Rob Hatch, as we look forward to a very eagerly anticipated Opening Weekend in Belgium. Before thoughts turn to Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne,, we review some racing highlights from the last weekend, most notably from the Algarve in Portugal, where Remco Evenepoel passed the 50-victory mark in his still very young career. We then shift our attention to the Var in France, where our ‘own’ Larry Warbasse performed with some distinction on a fine weekend for his Décathlon-AG2r La Mondiale team.. In the final part of the episode, we focus on two upcoming races where Visma-Lease a Bike will be expected to pick up where they left off in 2023, Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and O Gran Camiño in Galicia, Spain - start ramp for Jonas Vingegaard’s 2024 campaign. We hear from one rider who’ll be hoping to thwart the “killer bees” in Belgium, Fred Wright of Bahrain Victorious, before telling you why tall trees may fall hard in the not-too-distant future in Galicia - even if that doesn’t apply to Vingegaard this weekend.

Stars & Watercarriers
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by the journalist Richard Abraham & Décathlon-AG2r La Mondiale stalwart Larry Warbasse - a still slightly soggy Larry Warbasse after his season’s début at a very wet Tour de la Provence. We discuss how Mads Pedersen whipped up a storm that blew the rest of the field away in the south of France - & ask whether the weather conditions themselves were even fit for racing. The Belgian whirlwind, Remco Evenepoel, also began his season at the weekend in Portugal, & did so with a trademark long range win. We hear from him, while turning our thoughts to the Tour de France; that race will also define everything Mark Cavendish does between now and July, and the Astana sprinter’s coach, Vasilis Anastopoulos, gives us a full debrief on a successful start to the year in Colombia. Finally, we look ahead to one of the less ballyhooed races taking place in the coming days - The Tour of Rwanda - & hear from one rider for whom it will literally mean the end of the road.

A Mads Rush
In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by top commentator Rob Hatch and the Danish former comms chief turned team manager turned journalist, Brian Nygaard. We take a look back at a busy week of racing - including the cyclocross World Championships - and some of the biggest stories of the last week, including heartening news about the Tour of Britain. It’s then time to focus on some of the big talking points and performances at the AlUla Tour, Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and Étoile de Bessèges - including an excellent week for Brian’s countryman, the Lidl-Trek star Mads Pedersen. In the final part of the podcast, we discuss the upcoming 20th anniversary of Marco Pantani’s death and - with the help of a couple of Italian friends - arrive at the conclusion that ‘il Pirata’s’ life and legacy still deserve to be revisited.

In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by two of cycling’s most recognisable and beloved commentators - Renaat Schotte and Rob Hatch - to discuss to the start of the European road season and look ahead to the cyclocross Worlds in Tábor, Czechia. The reigning ‘cross world champions, Mathieu van der Poel and Fem Van Empel, are both favourites to retain their titles at the weekend. Renaat tells us why a Van der Poel victory, in particular, looks a safe bet…but possibly not a foregone conclusion. In the last part of the podcast, we switch our attention to the tarmac and examine some of the themes of the road season so far. After last week’s laurels for the 20-year-old Mexican wunderkind Isaac Del Toro, we’re treated to an even closer look at his journey to the top by some of the men and women who first brought him to Europe with the A.R.

We’re looking at life a little upside down in the first Cycling Podcast Feminin of the year. Special guest cycling journalist Rebecca Charlton joins Rose Manley and Denny Gray to look over the first Women’s World Tour race of the year – the Tour Down Under in Australia. We analyse the veracity of overall winner Sarah Gigante’s claims that she was “washed up” at the age of 23 and all get into a hotly-fought argument over Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig’s prospects for the year. We’re also introducing the first in our year-long series of mini features. In this month’s episode we look into the current crop of talented New Zealand racers and ask what’s behind the sudden rise in Kiwi riders. Rose speaks to World Tour talents Niamh Fisher-Black and Mikayla Harvey plus former TIBCO rider Jo Kiesanowski and Patrick Harvey, manager of the development team Black Magic Women. The team also round-up the latest news on the future of the Women’s Tour following the liquidation of organisers Sweetspot.

We discuss how Stevie Williams’ thrilling overall victory represents a return from the brink for the Welsh rider - and one tinged with controversy. The other two breakout stars of the race were BORA-Hansgrohe sprinter Sam Welsford and UAE Team Emirates’ 20-year-old Mexican prodigy Isaac del Toro. We investigate Del Toro’s roots - and look at phenoms of yesteryear who did or didn’t deliver on their early promise. There’s also the usual round-up of the week’s news and a look at what INEOS Grenadiers are plotting - and trying to change - in 2024.

Caleb Ewan - Homeward (Re)Bound
When, midway through last year’s Tour de France, Caleb Ewan ‘celebrated’ his 29th birthday, in fact far from rejoicing, the Aussie sprinter was enduring some of the most difficult days of his career - out of form and out of favour with his Lotto-Dstny team, so much so that his boss, Stéphane Heulot, would respond to Ewan quitting La Grande Boucle by questioning his professionalism. Ewan’s relationship with Lotto looked irredeemably broken - and indeed, three months later, Jayco-Alula announced that they and Ewan were to reunite in 2024. Another three months have now passed since that news broke - and Ewan is finally ready to set the record straight, as he did in this in-depth interview with The Cycling Podcast on the eve of The Tour Down Under: on why he and Heulot never hit it off; on whether, as reports suggested last summer, he even contemplated retirement; and, most importantly, on his new beginning with the team where for him it all started.

Proceeding in chronological order, we journey back in time first to May and the Giro d'Italia, where Daniel Friebe and Brian Nygaard saw lots of rain, a race that took its time to catch light, then a finale for the ages. Next, Lionel Birnie took over at the steering wheel for the Tour de France - variously assisted and accompanied by François Thomazeau, Mitch Docker, Lizzy Banks, Ian Boswell and Richard Abraham. Finally, it was on to Spain and the Vuelta - where Daniel and an assortment of familiar guests saw Jumbo-Visma continue their quest to make history by winning all three Grand Tours in a single season.

Quizmas Greetings
Yes, it’s the most wonderful time of year… Christmas quiz time! Reigning champ (or so she claims) Orla Chennaoui pits herself against quiz debutant Denny Gray in Rose Manley’s fiendish Yuletide puzzler. Let your brain be bamboozled by humdingers like, how many corners were there in the World Champs course? Did Demi Vollering really explain her teammate’s toilet habits in a post-race interview? And most crucially, which rider is “Orange Bumcrease”? As is only appropriate at Christmas time, prepare for a whole load of sledging on all sides. Before all that, Rose, Orla and Denny reveal their racing highlights of the year and in a Cycling Podcast first, Denny closes the show with his performance of “12 Days of SD Worx-mas”.

Rolf Lessons - Rog, Cian, Cav, Ullrich and more with Bora-Hansgrohe’s Head of Sports Rolf Aldag
In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, we visit Bora-Hansgrohe at their December billet in Mallorca for an in-depth interview with the team’s Head of Sports Rolf Aldag. It turned out to be a timely conversation, coming as it did hot on the heels of news that Cian Uijtdebroeks had walked out on Bora-Hansgrohe to sign for Jumbo-Visma - his agent claimed after his Bora deal had been terminated, the team said a year before it was due to expire. Here, Aldag talks to us about Uijtdebroeks’ shock exit and what it could mean for Bora, the rider and the sport. We also, of course, discuss the star signing who has recently moved the other way, from Jumbo to Bora, Primož Roglič. There’s much more besides – on Rolf’s own career, the winning formula he helped to create at HTC High Road, Jan Ullrich’s belated doping confession and Mark Cavendish’s hopes of another Tour de France stage win.

The Pavel Itinerary
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, long-time Grand Tour diarist Pavel Sivakov joins us to reflect on his 2023 season and look ahead to his imminent move to the world’s number one-ranked team, UAE Team Emirates. The winner of the Giro della Toscana in September and a top-10 finisher in six stage races, Sivakov enjoyed his best season ever in 2023 - and yet recognises that, in some pundits’ eyes, his Grand Tour results are still used as the single measure of his career trajectory. He and Daniel Friebe discuss why that is while also looking back at his time at INEOS, examining that team’s quest to build a new identity, dissecting his own issues with self-doubt - and casting thoughts ahead to the next phase of his career.

Renaissance Jan
In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by ace Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch to discuss the latest headlines from the world of professional cycling and some of the burning issues of the week. In Germany, the hot topic of the last few days has been the release of the new, multi-part Jan Ullrich documentary ‘Der Gejagte’. Daniel reports back on what we as viewers learn and also reflects on how the film in some ways acts as the perfect afterword to his Ullrich biography. In the final part of the episode, there’s time for a bit more self-examination - in this case from Rob on the ever-evolving craft of the commentator.

For The Love Of Rod
In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Brian Nygaard and Ian Boswell - both of them formerly of Team Sky as a press chief and rider respectively - as we chew over the shock news that Deputy Team Principal Rod Ellingworth is to leave the British outfit. We analyse Ellingworth’s legacy and ask where the team goes next, having lost one of their founding fathers. Are they on the brink of a bright new era or contemplating a crisis of identity? There’s also discussion of the news last week that GCN+ and the GCN App are to close – in addition to the usual round-up of the latest headlines. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

Rootin’ Tootin’ Van Vleuten!
It’s an Annemiek Van Vleuten special on The Cycling Podcast Feminin. Rose Manley and Denny Gray reflect back on the racing career of one of the most successful and influential riders in the sport following her retirement in September. Rose sits down with Van Vleuten herself to talk about the things that shaped her as a rider and how she’s finding post-retirement life. And Van Vleuten reveals what’s next for her both personally and professionally. We also look back at the ways in which Van Vleuten shaped the cycling world: from her winning-against-the-odds mentality to her extreme training regime. To help us decipher this part of her legacy, Denny speaks to her Movistar teammate Katrine Aalerud who continues to be directly inspired by Van Vleuten's approach to racing. Aalerud also offers up her insight on what it is like riding in service of one of the greatest cyclists of this generation and what Van Vleuten is like off-the-bike too. Plus, we dig back into the archives to hear Richard Moore's interview with Van Vleuten's coach from May 2020. Richard talks to Louis Delahaije about how his unique approach to training unlocked Van Vleuten's continual success. The nature of her training now being one of the most important parts of her ongoing legacy. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

Wheels of (Mis)fortune
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, we take you inside one of the more dramatic and harrowing stories of the 2023 season - a crash that abruptly ended one rider’s realistic chance of winning the Giro d’Italia, his season and also his seven-year career with the team that, as a teenager, he had dreamed of one day joining. That rider is Tao Geoghegan Hart - and he is also our guest and Daniel Friebe’s conversation partner this week. We hear about the initial trauma of the accident, the ordeal of the days that followed and the slow and sometimes tedious battle to regain fitness. In addition, Tao looks ahead to his new start with Lidl-Trek and nominates some of his heroes and heroines of 2023. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

The Revolution Will Be Televised (But Probably Won’t Happen)
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe & Brian Nygaard delve deeper into one of the stories of a wild pro cycling autumn - the revelation that half a dozen World Tour teams want to launch their own league or series to help secure their (financial) future. Brian was at the bleeding edge of two previous attempts to do precisely this - and he helps us understand why neither ultimately came to fruition.

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we are joined by an old friend and confidant - AG2r-Citroën’s Larry Warbasse - for a full debrief on the former US road racing champion’s 2023 season. Daniel Friebe quizzes Larry about personal landmarks, successes and disappointments in what was a long, tiring campaign for the 33-year-old. There’s also an honest analysis of AG2r’s fortunes over the past few months - and where they can and need to improve next year. In addition, we round up the week’s news, including the latest attempt to bolster pro cycling’s income streams and the remarkable homecoming of a Colombian idol.

Explore | The heat is on
Explore returns with Adam Bowie, one of The Cycling Podcast's producers, taking over the mic to document his ride at the 2023 Étape du Tour. Each July, the Étape gives thousands of riders a chance to experience the thrill of riding the route of a Tour de France stage on closed roads. This time it was the course of stage 14 from Annemasse to Morzine in the Alps, taking in the Col de Cou, Col du Feu, Col de la Ramaz and Col de Joux Plane. The Étape was celebrating its 30th anniversary – the first edition was held in 1993 and was 'won' by Christophe Rinero, who five years later won the king of the mountains. More recently, the fastest finisher in the 2018 Étape, Victor Lafay, won a stage of the 2023 Tour de France in San Sebastian. But for the other 16,000 participants the challenge is completing the stage. Regular listeners will remember Adam's episode of Explore from 2021, in which he tackled the 350-kilometre King Alfred's Way route in south-west England. This time, we join Adam in the Alps, as he takes on a reconnaissance ride a few days before the Étape... The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

Daniel Friebe is joined by veteran reporter and resident francophile François Thomazeau plus top commentator Rob Hatch to give our verdict on the Vélo d’Or voting panel’s decisions - and on two Tour de France routes, men’s and women’s, that pack an awful lot of ingredients into what look like a pair of exceedingly rich cakes. Finally, we resume last week’s conversation about seasoned pros who find themselves jobless at the end of the 2023 campaign.

Speculate to Accumulate
This October episode of The Cycling Podcast Feminin is full of our podcast’s most dreaded thing “speculation”. Rose Manley and Denny Gray look over some of the rumours around next year’s Tour de France Femmes route which will apparently include a showstopping final day on the Alpe d’Huez. They also look ahead to some of how next season’s teams are shaping up, with Lidl-Trek and EF Education-Cannondale taking almost opposite approaches to their rosters. We hear from young Brit Abi Smith about her first years in the pro cycling world as she prepares to take a step up to join Team DSM next season. She speaks about how she has used painting this year as a mental escape from life on (or perhaps more accurately, off) the bike. And we cover the final races of the 2023 Women’s World Tour and hear from Tour of Guangxi winner Daria Pikulik. Plus, we stray ever so briefly on to the gravel to congratulate Kasia Niewiadoma on her World Championships win. We can hear Orla weeping happy tears all the way from Amsterdam!

Route & Branch Changes
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and ace commentator Rob Hatch examine one venerable Italian cycling institution’s latest iteration - the newly revealed 2024 Giro d’Italia route - and look at the brightest, most ambitious upstart on the same nation’s racing calendar: Filippo Pozzato and his races in the Veneto. We deliver our own assessment of a noticeably less lofty-than-usual ‘Corsa Rosa’ route before hearing Jayco-AlUla head DS Matt White’s verdict. We, or rather Daniel, then literally travels to Italy to find out how Pozzato is trying to shake up an ageing, ailing Italian scene - and why he may need a bit more help from the Giro itself. In the final part of the podcast, we reflect on the predicament of the many riders who find themselves jobless at the end of the 2023 season - and one in particular, the Ethiopian Tsgabu Grmay. He tells Daniel that, while his present plight looks bleak, his dreams and inner fire are very much still alive.

There’s also the latest on the merger that apparently will now never be, between Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quickstep.

In this week’s bumper episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by French press-pack doyen François Thomazeau to discuss some dramatic events over the last seven days - and look ahead to il Lombardia at the weekend. There’s the usual news round-up, then the labyrinthine tale of how Daniel tried to establish the 2024 destination of Primož Roglič. We also ponder the latest twists and turns in the Soudal-Quickstep/Jumbo-Visma saga and what they may mean for Remco Evenepoel, among others. In the final part, there’s a look ahead to il Lombardia and the end of the road for TCP favourite Thibaut Pinot. We also bid farewell to François’ dear friend and Induráin-whisperer Francis Lafargue, who passed away last week.

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.

The World Tour After Van Vleuten
In this month’s episode of The Cycling Podcast Feminin, Rose Manley and Denny Gray pour over what has been a packed racing schedule since the World Championships. They pick out the defining moments and big breakthroughs from this closing part of the season which has included a nail-biting Tour of Scandinavia, a lively Tour de Romandie and a Simac Ladies Tour that was full of surprises. We also hear from Canyon-SRAM’s huge new talent Antonia Niedermaier who has already bagged a Giro stage win in her first year in the World Tour. The young German tells us about her double life as both an elite cyclist and an elite ski mountaineer and reveals her ambitions to compete in both the Summer and Winter Olympics. Rose and Denny also – dare we say – “speculate” on where we can expect the new rivalries and new winners to come next year now that one of the sport’s leading lights Annemiek Van Vleuten has retired. Van Vleuten said goodbye to racing at the Simac Ladies Tour, having racked up an astounding 104 wins in her 15 year elite career. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

The XL 2023 Vuelta Preview
The third and final Grand Tour of the men’s cycling season, La Vuelta a España, rolls out of Barcelona on Saturday August 26, and in this XL race preview we look ahead to what we are already calling “El Clásico”. After the usual weekly news round-up, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie first examine the route, then the riders and particularly the favourites for overall glory in Madrid. To help them, they enlist one of the voices of Belgian cycling, commentator Renaat Schotte, our resident great Dane, Brian Nygaard, and Eurosport’s eyes on the ground in Spain, Laura Meseguer. We also hear from the Motown Maestro, Larry Warbasse, who’ll be lining up in Barcelona for his AG2r-Citroën team, plus there’s a trip down TCP memory lane, through our own daily coverage of the Vuelta since 2016.

The White Company
In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel and Lionel are joined by Team Jayco-AlUla Director of High Performance and Racing Matt White to reflect on the UCI ‘Superworlds’, Jayco’s Tour de France and the start of cycling’s transfer window - and look ahead to the Vuelta a España. Before that, we recap a busy week of news, including the announcement that former British Cycling and Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman has been handed a four-year ban for possession of a banned substance and twice lying to UK Anti-Doping investigators. We ask the question - are some or even all of successes amassed on Freeman’s watch now tarnished?

Arrivée | Women’s World Championship Road Race
The so-called ‘Super Worlds’ came to a conclusion with the women’s road race from Loch Lomond to Glasgow. Six laps of the city centre circuit created another hell-for-leather battle between the best riders in the world, creating a race that seemed to defy the normal rules of road racing. With the ‘A team’ of Rose, Orla and Lizzy unavailable for selection, Lionel Birnie is joined by Denny Gray to discuss the action on an afternoon when the race crowned a rider worthy of the world title and a year in the rainbow jersey.

Bog Larry Avoid
In this week’s regular episode, we revisit last Sunday’s Men’s World Championship Road Race in the company of AG2r-Citroën ace Larry Warbasse, who was making his senior début in USA national team colours at the weekend. Despite Larry’s vital work early in the race, US team leader Neilson Powless couldn’t stop Mathieu van der Poel claiming the rainbow jersey - & we get Larry’s thoughts on a scintillating race & controversial Glasgow course. There’s also a brief & for Daniel excruciating discussion about the Van der Poel pitstop which made the tabloid headlines in Scotland on Monday. We hear, too, where the other medals have gone so far in Glasgow & look ahead to the men’s TT. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

Arrivée | Men's World Championship Road Race
Arrivée returns with our on-the-whistle review of the world championship men’s road race in Glasgow - where the grumbles about the crit-like course were drowned out by a pulsating, heavy metal battle for the rainbow jersey. Much of the pre-race speculation focused on the latest instalment of Mathieu van der Poel and Wout Van Aert’s age-old rivalry. Tadej Pogačar and Mads Pedersen were among the riders overshadow them and indeed defending champion Remco Evenpoel - and all of the aforementioned quintet would be in the thick of the action on Sunday.

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by one of Belgium’s voices of cycling, TV commentator Renaat Schotte, to preview this weekend’s elite World Championship road race in Scotland. After the usual news round-up and a summary of the early moves on this year’s transfer market, our thoughts turn to Sunday’s course - and particularly the 14.3km Glasgow city circuit which will decide who inherits Remco Evenepoel’s rainbow bands, or indeed whether The Baby Cannibal can retain his title. In the last part of the episode, we change pace with some final reflections on the Tour de France - the drama of the yellow jersey battle, what will be our lasting memories of the 2023 edition and other salient talking points.

Kilometre 0 – Le Puy de Prudhomme
On Sunday, the Tour de France will return to Le Puy de Dôme for the first time in 35 years. The volcano in the Massif Central was first visited by the race in 1952. Fausto Coppi, who had won the Tour's first-ever summit finish at Alpe d'Huez a couple of weeks earlier, took the stage. In 1964, it was the scene of a famous duel between Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor as the two brushed shoulders in their battle for the yellow jersey. Eleven years later, in 1975, a spectator punched Eddy Merckx which effectively ended the Belgian's long reign as the undisputed best rider in the world. The final visit, in 1988, saw a win by Denmark's Johnny Weltz but after the stage there was chaos with tens of thousands of fans trying to get off the mountain. A funicular railway was installed, narrowing the road and the climb was closed even to amateur cyclists making it very difficult for the Tour to return. But race director, Christian Prudhomme has long harboured a dream to take the Tour back. Even though the climb will be closed to spectators, it promises to be a special day. In this episode we hear from Prudhomme, local rider Remi Cavagna of Soudal-Quick Step, climber Dan Martin and the last man to win on the volcano, Johnny Weltz.

The result is Enter the Slipstream, which debuts on US streaming service Peacock, part of NBC Sports, tomorrow (Saturday, July 1). Lionel Birnie spoke to director Ted Youngs, producer Matt Rogers and story producer Alexis Steinman about the filmmaking process, how Covid changed the story and how Enter the Slipstream is the ultimate tale of perseverance for the riders, the EF Pro Cycling team and the filmmakers themselves. Kilometre 0 at the 2023 Tour de France will be for Friends of the Podcast subscribers. The next episode will be Laura Meseguer's interview with Joseba Beloki, the Basque rider who finished on the podium at the Tour de France three times and crashed in spectacular fashion on the run-in to Gap on Bastille Day during the 2003 Tour.

The XL Tour de France preview
This is our XL Tour de France preview with Lionel Birnie, Daniel Friebe and François Thomazeau – a bumper episode looking ahead to the race, which starts on Saturday. A few days before the grand départ, as the team line-ups and new jerseys are unveiled we look ahead to see what's in store at the biggest race in the world. It's shaping up to be a clash between defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar – who have won the last three editions between them – but is there more to the race for the yellow jersey than that? We weigh up the sprinters and the relatively few opportunities for them to shine and ask the big question – can Mark Cavendish win his 35th stage and claim the outright record? Our Tour de France logo this year features the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the silhouette of the Puy de Dôme, which the Tour will visit for the first time in 35 years. We also hear from Mitch Docker, Ian Boswell and Richard Abraham, who will be joining the podcast team at various points through the Tour. The Cycling Podcast's daily coverage starts on Saturday evening, after stage one, but we are continuing our build-up by kicking off our Kilometre 0 series early. To mark the 10th anniversary of The Cycling Podcast we have created a mini series for Friends of the Podcast called The 100th Tour, 10 years On . It's the story of the 2013 Tour as told by the podcast and it will be released daily as we build up to the start of this year's race in Bilbao. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

Richie and Chris: The 100th Tour, 10 years on
Kilometre 0 Richie and Chris kicks off a seven-part mini series focusing on the 2013 Tour de France. To mark the 100th edition of the race, the Tour headed to Corsica for the grand départ. Lionel Birnie spoke to former teammates Chris Froome and Richie Porte about the race. Froome led Team Sky for the first time having been runner-up to Bradley Wiggins the previous year. Wiggins was somewhat controversially – although perhaps not surprisingly – left out of the line-up a few weeks before the start. There was drama from the start. On day one Froome crashed in the neutralised zone before the race had even started, then the Orica-GreenEdge team bus got stuck under the finish line gantry, almost bringing the entire Tour to a standstill. Froome laid down the gauntlet in the Pyrenees when, for 24 hours, everything looked to be going Sky's way. Then there was a date with Mont Ventoux, a double-ascent of Alpe d'Huez and some nervous moments in the final few days. The rest of the series The 100th Tour, 10 years On is the story of that 2013 race as told by The Cycling Podcast. We've delved into our archive to revisit the first Tour the podcast covered. The remaining six episodes will be released for Friends of the Podcast subscribers from Tuesday to Thursday. Our Kilometre 0 series for the 2023 Tour de France will be available to Friends of the Podcast subscribers. Sign up at thecyclingpodcast.com .

Steelsy determination
With the SD Worx victory machine still rumbling on at the Tour de Suisse, Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks are faced with a few conundrums. Is Kasia Niewiadoma back to her best? Can SD Worx be beaten on strategy? And most pressingly of all, exactly who has the cutest dog in the peloton? The Cycling Podcast Féminin team pick over some of the week’s impressive solo performances and hear from rising star Claire Steels who Zubeldia’d her way to sixth on GC. Steels was also involved in one of the crashes at the Tour Féminin des Pyrénées which was eventually called off over safety concerns. We address some of the consternation over the forthcoming Giro Donne and look ahead to the race with Lizzy, our very own two-time stage winner. We also get the perspectives of Urška Žigart of Jayco-Alula, Soraya Paladin of Canyon-SRAM and Erica Magnaldi of UAE-ADQ ahead of the second Grand Tour of the year. Plus we introduce the podcast to a new voice – Denny Gray – who will be joining Rose for our daily podcasts from the Tour de France Femmes next month.

Boy Gino – Remembering Gino Mäder
The world of professional cycling was rocked and devastated this week by the death of 26-year-old Bahrain Victorious rider Gino Mäder after a crash in his home race, the Tour de Suisse. The tragedy has completely overshadowed the build-up to the Tour de France - and, in turn, forced a change to our original plan for the episode, namely a review of the new Netflix docuseries, Tour de France: Unchained, after last week’s interview with execuitve producer James Gay-Rees. You’ll still hear that review, for which we’re joined by another award-winning filmmaker, Finlay Pretsell, but the first part of the show is dedicated to Mäder, his short but already distinguished career and our interactions with one of the most thoughtful and admirable riders in the peloton.

Unchained Malady - Cycling’s Netflix Fever
In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by one of the brains behind what some have already called the event of the cycling season - not Christian Prudhomme or Mauro Vegni but James Gay-Rees, the Oscar-winning executive producer of the hotly anticipated docuseries released on Netflix last week, Tour de France: Unchained. James lifts the lid on how project was devised, conceived and tweaked, until the thousands of hours of raw footage filmed before, during and after the Tour had been crafted into eight gripping episodes. Before that, there’s the usual round-up of the week’s news, including a Dauphiné wrap, Arnaud Démare’s Tour snub and the shocking events at the Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées.

With the Giro d'Italia now in the rear-view mirror and the Tour de France on the horizon, The Cycling Podcast begins the countdown to the grand départ in Bilbao. As the Critérium du Dauphiné reaches its halfway stage, Lionel Birnie is joined by François Thomazeau and Rob Hatch to discuss what it all means for the build-up to the world's biggest race. Does his stage win mean Julian Alaphilippe is back? Is Jonas Vingegaard emerging as the pre-Tour favourite with Tadej Pogačar on the sidelines recovering from his fractured wrist? We tackle all the big questions from the Tour de France dress rehearsal. We also get a view from the front row as the voice of Radio Tour, Seb Piquet, talks us through the opening few stages.

The Reign in Spain
The Cycling Podcast Feminin team are reunited once again following Lizzy Banks’ long anticipated return to racing. Lizzy shares her experience of helping her team to victory at the Joe Martin stage race earlier this month, after overcoming two and a half years of illness and injury. There’s plenty to discuss in the World Tour, where the SD Worx winning streak has continued. Emphatic wins in Itzulia and at the Vuelta a Burgos for Marlen Reusser and Demi Vollering respectively have left the other teams desperately wondering how to beat them. And like the rest of the peloton, the Cycling Podcast Feminin team can’t agree on the best way to go about it either. We also hear from Pfeiffer Georgi who can claim to be one of the few riders in the peloton to have overcome SD Worx at World Tour level this year. The De Panne champion speaks to the podcast fresh from her team’s success at the RideLondon Classique where they took two stage wins and the overall title. Pfeiffer speaks about her progress since her junior racing years and balancing her quiet, calm attitude with being an assertive road captain for Team DSM.

Kilometre 0 – Tao in the hunt
In this episode of Kilometre 0 from the Giro d'Italia, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie called Tao Geoghegan Hart at his rest day hotel to get his verdict on the opening nine days of the race. A brilliant time trial by Geoghegan Hart and his Ineos Grenadiers teammate Geraint Thomas kept them at the forefront of the pack stacked up behind leader Remco Evenepoel. And then, on Sunday night, Evenepoel announced he'd be leaving the race having contracted Covid, which puts Thomas in the pink jersey and lifts Geoghegan Hart into third place and raises the possibility of him repeating his 2020 Giro win.

Kilometre 0 - Imbroglio! The Big Italian Food Lie
Ask most people to think of Italy and what’s the first image that will come to their mind? For cycling fans it could be the Giro - but, generally, throughout the world, that picture in the mind’s eye is as likely to be of food as it is, say, the national flag, the Leaning Tower of Pisa or the Colosseum. In recent years, it’s been noticeable for journalists on the race that the Giro has leaned further into the notion of Italy as a sort promised land of the finest food and wine on the planet – no longer just ‘the hardest race in the most beautiful place’, per the sales pitch, but also the one where you’ll eat the best meals. Italian recipes are genuine, humble in origin but luxurious in taste – and also ancient. So at least we’re always told. And yet recently one professor in Italy, Alberto Grandi of the University of Parma, hit the headlines all over the world and caused outrage at home by claiming that a lot of it was lies, mythology, either a misremembering of the past or a deliberate attempt to distort the truth. In this episode of KM0, Daniel Friebe speaks to, among others, Grandi and John Dickie, the author an acclaimed history of Italian food, Delizia!, to find out what Grandi has claimed and whether, indeed, we’ll ever look at pizza, pasta and cappuccino in the same way again. In addition to this episode, we’ll also post Daniel’s full interview with Alberto Grandi (with subtitles) on the podcast’s YouTube channel. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

In this episode, Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard present our comprehensive preview of the first Grand Tour of 2023: who is riding, where the race is going and – if you’ll indulge our uncharacteristic speculation – who is likely to be in pink when the peloton arrives in Rome. We hear, too, from our sometime Italian historical and cultural guru, John Foot, about the state of Il Bel Paese in 2023. There are also interviews with one of the men masterminding Remco Evenepoel’s Giro bid, Soudal-Quickstep coach Vasilis Anastopoulos, and the journalist who, whatever happens on the road, will, as ever, be the undisputed crowd favourite of the next month, Ciro Scognamiglio of La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Total Demi-lition
How do you beat SD Worx? That’s the question that Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks are looking to answer in this month’s episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. With the Spring Classics now at an end and with an Ardennes triple in the bag for Demi Vollering, SD Worx already have 13 victories from four different riders this season. What makes their dominance all the more impressive is the nature of those wins, coming from almost every racing scenario possible. The Cycling Podcast team look then to explore what has made SD Worx almost unbeatable, taking into consideration the tactics, riders and peloton psychology that has secured their winning ways. Of course, special mention is given to Paris-Roubaix, one of the few occasions where SD Worx were beaten. We hear from Lizzy’s day at the race as she followed the action on the cobbles and witnessed first-hand her teammate Alison Jackson take the pavé in spectacular style.

Mighty White
It was billed as a clash of the Titans but Liège-Bastogne-Liège turned into the latest episode of the Remco Evenepoel show after Tadej Pogačar’s early crash. In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by former Liège winner and Pogačar team-mate Dan Martin to reflect on Sunday’s race. We also consider what may be the respective postscripts to La Doyenne - for Evenepoel and his Giro d’Italia bid and Pogačar’s chances of being fit for the Tour de France. In the final part of the episode, we hear from the newly elected president of the Cyclistes Professionnels Associés, Adam Hansen. We also pay our respects to long-time friend of the pod and ex-Astana press chief Chris Baldwin, who sadly passed away last week.

The spring classics draw to a close with the fourth Monument of the season, Liège-Bastogne-Liège. After a spring dominated by the sport’s biggest names, La Doyenne, the oldest of the Monuments, was shaping up to be a showdown between Tadej Pogačar, winner of the Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race and Flèche Wallonne, and reigning world champion and defending Liège champion, Remco Evenepoel.

Service Course | Tech Heaven in Hell
This episode of Service Course was recorded on location at the Hell of the North. Join Lizzy Banks and Tom Whalley for two breathtaking races at Paris-Roubaix and a closer look at some of the bikes being ridden. The pair hear about the rival adjustable tyre pressure systems being used by Team DSM and Jumbo-Visma at the race, Scope Atmoz and Gravaa Kaps respectively, as well as speaking to the creator of Gravaa Kaps, Gertjan van Ginderen. Despite both DSM and Jumbo-Visma having men’s and women’s teams, disappointingly the systems were absent from the women’s race, and Lizzy finds out exactly why that was. Alongside that there are some other, literal, Easter Eggs, notably the one on John Degenkolb’s top tube, and seemingly an almost complete absence of suspension systems. Peter Sagan was using one, but he also had a gash in his tyre as Lizzy points out to his team before the start. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Like a Mat Out of Hell
As the dust settles on another cobbled Classics season – and some who made it to the Roubaix velodrome on Sunday are still wiping the grit and in one or two cases tears from their eyes – Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie take a last look back at the Hell of the North in the company of former WorldTour pro and cobblestone connoisseur Mitch Docker. We hear Mitch’s thoughts on another superlative performance by Mathieu van der Poel and also speak to a rider who was making his debut in the race on Sunday – INEOS Grenadiers’ teen marvel Josh Tarling. After that, we take stock after another huge race that concluded last weekend – the Tour of the Basque Country – and look ahead to the second half of the Classics season, starting with Amstel Gold at the weekend.

We discuss how much prestige should in fact be associated with such an achievement - and also revisit a few minor controversies thrown up by Sunday’s race.

Whole Lotte Love
This month, The Cycling Podcast Féminin team get what they wished for: a fiercely fought battle between two teammates. Lotte Kopecky and Demi Vollering gunned it out at Strade Bianche with the Dutchwoman eventually crowned the victor after a tense photo finish. Despite being pipped into second, the Italian classic marked yet another chapter in Kopecky’s extraordinary early season in which she has never finished lower than runner-up. Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks discuss the race and its fallout, including the controversial disqualification of Kristen Faulkner for the wearing of a continuous glucose monitor. Rose also speaks to Puck Pieterse, one of the unlikely stars of Strade Bianche. Cyclo-cross racer Pieterse finished fifth in her first ever Women’s World Tour road race. She explains her approach to having fun on the bike and why we won’t be seeing her at any more road races this season. The team also talk about a less acrimonious team one-two finish at Trofeo Alfredo Binda. Last month’s interviewee Shirin van Anrooij took the win there, followed by her Trek-Segafredo teammate Elisa Balsamo. Orla closes the show with a beautiful tribute to our deeply missed friend Richard Moore, who passed away a year ago. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Jam Tadej
In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by former Team CSC and Team Sky press chief and Leopard-Trek manager Brian Nygaard to review the two big WorldTour stage races that concluded at the weekend and look ahead to the first Monument of the 2023 season - Milan-Sanremo. After the usual weekly news round-up, we discuss the latest Pogcineration of Paris-Nice and the Roglication of Tirreno-Adriatico. What do these two results mean for the Grand Tour season and, in particular, Jonas Vingegaard’s chances of retaining his Tour de France crown? In the final part of the episode, we also look ahead to Milan-Sanremo, by many estimates the most boring Monument of the season and by Daniel’s the best.

Explore | The Midlife Cyclist
This episode of Explore was recorded in March 2022, when Lionel Birnie travelled to Berkshire to meet Phil Cavell. Lionel fitted squarely into the demographic Phil was writing for in his book The Midlife Cyclist and, as one of the people behind Cyclefit, has spent years trying to make riders more comfortable, more efficient and more powerful on the bike. As the years tick by and the likelihood of aches and pains on and off the bike rises, the middle aged cyclist has to pay more attention to their position, their pre- and post-ride regimes and their diet. But getting old does not mean slowing down. In fact, many riders in their 40s and 50s – and even older – are riding better than ever thanks to advances in our understanding of how to keep the body in good condition. Over a coffee Lionel and Phil chatted all things cycling. Explore by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

The Incredulity of Thomas
Lionel Birnie is joined by EF Education-Tibco rider Lizzy Banks and Edward Pickering, the editor of Rouleur magazine, to help see through the dust thrown up by Strade Bianche. Saturday was a day when teamwork came under the microscope. In part one we examine the women’s race which was dominated by two SD Worx riders who had everything worked out except the ending. Demi Vollering seemed as surprised as anyone that her teammate Lotte Kopecky sprinted against her. Then we turn attention to the men’s race, won in exhilarating fashion by Ineos Grenadiers rider Tom Pidcock who attacked almost 50 kilometres from home, overhauled the riders ahead of him and struck out on his own. Although his lead was barely ever more than a minute, and at one stage was down to a handful of seconds, the lack of cohesion in the chase and notably between the two Jumbo-Visma riders undoubtedly played into Pidcock’s hands. In the final part, Lionel checks in with François Thomazeau, for an update on the opening couple of days at Paris-Nice and weighs up the brewing showdown between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard.

A Diamond Thief in the Hornets’ Nest
In this week’s regular episode, Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch of GCN and Eurosport commentary fame reflect on two thrilling days of racing at Opening Weekend in Belgium. On Saturday, a dominant Jumbo-Visma performance culminated in victory in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad for a rider whose winning moves typically display all the stealth, cunning and deftness of a gemstone heist. This was followed on Sunday by another Jumbo masterclass and success for one of the team’s less prolific yet most versatile stars.

Kool and the Gang
Comebacks, controversy and new rivalries, there’s plenty for Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks to discuss in this month’s episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. We hear from Charlotte Kool who caused a major upset in taking two stage wins over former teammate and sprinting superstar Lorena Wiebes at the UAE Tour. She tells us what it is like taking on the mantle of leadership in one of the world’s best sprinting teams and going head-to-head against a rider you used to lead out. Newly crowned U23 cyclo-cross world champion Shirin van Anrooij talks to Orla about life at Trek-Segafredo and about enjoying some time off the bike before the Ardennes Classics. Plus we discuss all the main headlines to come out of Setmana Valenciana and the UAE Tour, including the rejuvenation of Ashleigh Moolman and the polemic surrounding Elisa Longo-Borghini’s win on Jebel Hafeet.

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by the young and ambitious chief of the Uno-X men’s and women’s teams, Jens Haugland, to discuss their unlikely journey towards the pinnacle of the sport - the Tour de France. In a wide-ranging interview, Haugland explains why professional football and the priesthood could have been his alternative career paths - and revisits his team’s very humble beginnings. Before all of that, we round up the week’s main headlines and zero in on key talking points from the Ruta del Sol and Volta ao Algarve, ahead of Belgium’s Opening Weekend.

The Pog Days Aren’t Over
In this week’s regular episode, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by former Team Sky and Katusha ace turned gravel-racing maestro Ian Boswell. After our usual round-up of the week’s news, it’s time to reflect on Tadej Pogačar’s 2023 racing début at the Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior - and his scintillating victory on the white roads of what has already established itself as Spain’s answer to Strade Bianche. The Pogcineration on the Andalusian farm tracks is also our cue to quiz Ian about what’s in store for him and the gravel scene generally in 2023. Then, in the last part of the episode, we hear from EF Education First - Easypost’s Esteban Chaves about his recent victory in the Colombian national road race championship and what made it so poignant.

Admirable Lord Neilson & The Battle of Hoogerheide
This week Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back and joined by one of the most illustrious and recognisable voices in Belgian cycling, Sporza’s veteran commentator and reporter Renaat Schotte. After the usual news round-up, we review the action from the cyclocross Worlds in Hoogerheide, where Fem Van Empel and Mathieu van der Poel went double Dutch by taking the women’s and men’s titles respectively. Defeat for Wout van Aert meant disappointment for Belgium, although spirits there will have been buoyed by the latest evidence of Arnaud De Lie’s prodigious talent at the Étoile de Bessèges. With Renaat’s help, we find out more about a rider who is already being hailed as a Tom Boonen-Philippe Gilbert hybrid. Neilson Powless took overall victory at Bessèges - and the American would be most people’s choice as the rider of the early season. We hear from the EF Education-Easypost man about his early-season success, why he’ll try his hand at the cobbled Classics and why his Native American ancestry is so important to him, especially when things are going well on the bike.

Explore | Rubbing shoulders with giants
Explore is about cycling with a sense of adventure, journeying into the unknown and setting off for a challenge not knowing quite what lies ahead. This episode is no exception, although it features a slightly different type of journey. Lionel Birnie talks to American cyclo-cross rider Ben Frederick, who made the trip of a lifetime to Belgium over the Christmas and New Year period. It was his first visit to Europe and he was there to take part in the big festive cyclo-cross races where he rubbed shoulders with Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert and Tom Pidcock. There's nothing especially amazing about that, you might think. After all, Frederick, who is 32, has talent. He was eighth in the US nationals in December and had earned his place on the start grid. But Frederick's sojourn to Flanders was the culmination of an extraordinary journey. A few years ago, an innocuous crash while training on the trails caused a serious concussion. He had to re-learn how to do simple tasks, such as making coffee, and how to read before he could even contemplate getting back on the bike. It was almost two years before he could race again. He set himself a goal – to experience something most cyclists can only dream of. To line up with the stars of modern cycling, the giants of the sport, amid the feverish party atmosphere of a Flandrian Christmas.

Inter-stellar Domination
In this week’s episode, Daniel Friebe is joined by Rob Hatch and Lionel Birnie, fresh back from his trip to the GP La Marseillaise for the start of the French season. We round up a flurry of racing over recent days, including that curtain-raiser in Marseille, and exchange hot takes about what we’ve seen so far in Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Spain. We also reflect in greater detail on an emphatic start to the season by two teams, Intermarché Circus Wanty and Team DSM, with contrasting approaches to rider recruitment in particular. In the final part of the episode, we ponder the news announced by Peter Sagan last week - that 2023 will be his final campaign in the sport’s biggest races. What was Sagan’s impact, what is his legacy and what chance is there of a Monumental swansong? The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Boz also talks about his plans to transition from the pointy end of gravel races to the party end at the back. Beyond that, Tom and Lizzy Banks discuss the UCI rule changes for road bikes in 2023, Artificial Intelligence doing us all out of a job, and that Lab 71 bike that no one is confirming the existence of.

The Joe & Larry Show, Volume II
After their first appearance to look back on the 2022 season a few weeks ago, we reunite Joe Dombrowski of Astana-Qazaqstan and Larry Warbasse of AG2R Citroën and turn our gaze and thoughts forward to their respective 2023 campaigns. We ponder their hopes, dreams and fears for the coming campaign, and reflect on a broader question: to what extent is the grunt work that goes into arriving at and staying in peak condition science, and to what extent is it art? At the heart of the discussion are some of the points raised by the trailblazing triathlon coach Olav Aleksander Bu in a recent appearance on the Rich Roll podcast, which you can access here. https://www.richroll.com/all-episodes/ As ever, we also review the week’s main news stories, including the shock non-retirement of Nairo Quintana.

The Women's World Tour is back
The Cycling Podcast Feminin kicks off 2023 with a look at the racing that is already in full swing in Australia. Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks discuss the first Women’s World Tour race of the season – the Tour Down Under – which returns to the calendar for the first time since 2020. We also hear from brand new Australian National Champion Brodie Chapman about finally winning the race that kickstarted her cycling career. Back in 2018, Chapman had a full-time office job and was competing in her first ever UCI race when she made the final selection at the National Championships. Her sixth place finish saw her land a pro contract, a move to Europe and even victory in the Sun Tour of Annemiek Van Vleuten. Now she has joined one of the biggest teams in the world, Trek-Segafredo and is looking to both bolster their team of champions as well as pursue some of her own ambitions this year. Fellow Trek-Segafredo recruit Amanda Spratt also had a stand out performance at the Tour Down Under. Her explosive climbing on stage three left The Cycling Podcast team speculating if she might not be taking a step down from race leadership after all. Plus we have the latest news from the women’s professional cycling scene including an update on the collapse of the B&B Hotels team and the agreement of a new title sponsor for the former Drops Cycling squad.

Touching the Void or (Down) Under Pressure
The 2023 men’s WorldTour kicked off with the Tour Down Under, and that race features heavily in this week’s regular episode, with our roving reporter on the ground in Adelaide, Mitch Docker, bringing us up to date with the latest action. Mitch is joined by Daniel Friebe and multiple former Monument and Grand Tour stage winner Dan Martin to also discuss the rest of the week’s news. That includes the announcement that one of the most beloved riders in the pro peloton, Thibaut Pinot, will retire at the end of the 2023 season. The existential void into which some riders disappear when their career ends is our big discussion point in the second half of the podcast. It is also a poignant one in the week when the former Astana rider, Lieuwe Westra, passed away at the age of just 40, after years of mental turmoil. In the episode we’ll hear about those from Westra’s friend and biographer, Thomas Sijtsma. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Tricky, It’s Greener, Barcelona
After the presentation of the 2023 Vuelta a España route in Barcelona on Tuesday, The Cycling Podcast takes a closer look at the 21 stages that will make up the peloton’s journey from the Catalan capital to Madrid in the summer. Daniel Friebe is joined by a pair of experts well known for their work on GCN and Eurosport - Rob Hatch and Laura Meseguer. We hear their thoughts on a route whose difficulty either impressed or appalled the riders present in Barcelona on Tuesday - but will happily leave a lighter carbon footprint than last year’s edition, hence the Woody Allen-inspired title of this week’s episode. There’s also the usual round-up of the week’s main news, including an interview with Allan Peiper. The Aussie is returning to Tadej Pogačar’s side at UAE Team Emirates after a break due to illness.

Flaming Bora
After our Big Predictions Pod last week, in this episode The Cycling Podcast continues to gaze into the crystal ball by taking a close look at a team that, we suspect, will continue to soar in 2023. That team is Bora-Hansgrohe, and one of the main brains behind their change of focus in recent months is head sports director Rolf Aldag, who joins Daniel Friebe for an in-depth conversation about the new, post-marginal gains age in professional cycling, how Bora-Hansgrohe are attacking it and some of the stars who could glitter in green and black in 2023. Before that, Daniel reviews the week’s news with ace Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch, and we also cross to Scandinavia to hear how Uno-X’s invitation to the Tour de France has been celebrated there.

The Big Predictions Pod
The Cycling Podcast rings in the New Year by looking ahead to the 2023 season and some of the big storylines that may or may not play out on and off the road. Daniel Friebe is joined by former pro team manager and spin doctor Brian Nygaard and current AG2R Citroën ace Larry Warbasse. Having discussed the main headlines of the festive period, our not-so-clairvoyant trio hears from various other Cycling Podcast regulars, who this week provide their 2023 predictions for our deliberation. Can one nation really win all three Grand Tours in 2023? Or one team? And will the revelation of the next twelve months be a rookie who calls himself “Il Bandito”?

Merry Quizmas Everyone!
The Cycling Podcast Féminin's final episode of 2022 sees the return of the Christmas Quiz! But before their competitive sides kick in, Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks share their highlights of the season and are in agreement for once. In a year when the inaugural Tour de France Femmes put women’s racing in the spotlight, they reminisce over some of the moments that captured their imagination at the race. Among them is the tightly-contested GC battle, Annemiek Van Vleuten’s eventual high mountain domination and getting to witness Marianne Vos – the greatest of all time – in yellow. Honourable mention also goes to the finale of the Women’s Tour where Elisa Longo Borghini snatched overall victory by one second from Grace Brown, with practically the last pedal stroke of the whole race. The emergence of a potential new rivalry between Annemiek Van Vleuten and Lotte Kopecky also caught the attention, with the pair sharing the spoils across two of the most thrilling races of the year: Strade Bianche and the World Championship road race. The Christmas Quiz returns with Rose setting some devilish questions for Orla and Lizzy, such as how many people did it take to open the winner’s Champagne at Le Samyn? And did someone really win 8kg of dry dog food at the Lotto Belgium Tour? Plus, there's a finishing round of the pun-tastic “Cryptic Criterium” that descends into exasperation as all good Christmas board games should.

Team of the Year 2022: Jumbo-Visma
The Cycling Podcast completes its review of the 2022 season by electing our “Team of the Year”. In reality, it wasn't a difficult choice: Jumbo-Visma ruled the roost both in the terms of the quality and quantity of their victories, with Jonas Vingegaard's Tour de France title, Wout van Aert's July tour de force and Tobias Foss's rainbow jersey capping a sensational season. In an extended interview, the team's Managing Director Richard Plugge reminds us of his and their remarkable journey over the past decade, from the brink of oblivion to something akin to what Plugge calls "total cycling". Before that, Daniel Friebe and Rob Hatch discuss the week's big stories, including Astana's sacking of Miguel Ángel López. There's also a cameo from Ned Boulting of ITV and The Road Book, who tells us about that publication's riders of 2022. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Service Course | The man in the shadows
In this episode Tom Whalley speaks to Paul Farrell, the founder of Leggera who now designs frames and other items for some of the biggest brands in cycling. His career has seen him live in 55 different countries, with 15 years spent living and working in a carbon factory in China. Prior to that he spent over a decade working in the oil business, during which time he was shot at with bows and arrows. He also survived in the world's worst hovercraft tragedy.

Comeback of the Year 2022: Geraint Thomas
The Cycling Podcast continues its review of the 2022 season by electing our “Comeback of the Year”. Egan Bernal and Milan Vader made miraculous recoveries from injuries that looked career-threatening, Jai Hindley successfully banished the memory of a wretched 2021…but it’s Geraint Thomas who takes the laurels thanks mainly to his third place in the Tour de France. Before an extended interview with Thomas, Daniel is joined by Brian Nygaard to review the week's main news stories. We get the latest on B&B Hotels and Mark Cavendish, catch up on track and cyclocross news and also reflect on developments following the tragic death of Davide Rebellin.

Kilometre 0 – The cyclist and his shadow
This episode of Kilometre 0 features François Thomazeau talking about The cyclist and his shadow by Olivier Haralambon, which was published by The Cycling Podcast earlier this year. The book is a vivid exploration of what it is to ride a bike by Olivier, a philosopher and former racing cyclist. At the end of the 2020 Tour de France, François described the book – published in its original French as Le coureur et son ombre – as his favourite cycling book, which piqued our interest. François translated the book into English and The Cycling Podcast published it. Reading Olivier's book takes you into the very flesh of bike riding, it leads you straight into the noises, the sights, the smells, the urges involved in leaving the upward position for the stoop in the saddle. But it also takes you into the saddle itself, into the frame and the cogs and even the road, the tarmac, the rain and the sweat. It is more a book to feel than a book to read. – François Thomazeau Click here to buy the book Listeners in the US can buy the American edition published by our friends at Univoval University of Minnesota Press.

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we continue our review of the 2022 season by looking at some of the biggest stories of the last eleven months - and a troubling year for certain sections of the cycling media itself. Daniel Friebe is joined by AG2r-Citroën rider Larry Warbasse and Jeremy Whittle, the co-founder of Procycling Magazine and now The Guardian's Tour de France correspondent.

Ride of 2022: Tobias Foss, Worlds TT
The Cycling Podcast continues its review of the 2022 season by electing our “Ride of the Year” - and courting controversy with that selection. You can keep your Remcos at Liège, your Pogs at Strade Bianche, we say - the finest single exploit of the men’s cycling year was Tobias Foss’s giantkilling act in the World TT championship in Wollongong. In this episode, to help account for our choice, Foss himself gives us a forensic description of how he turned an annus mirabilis into an annus…iridis or “rainbow year”. Before that, Daniel is joined by Rob Hatch to review the week's main news stories. We get the latest on Nairo Quintana and Mark Cavendish, catch up on track and cyclocross news and also hear about the sad passing of a titan in the world of anti-doping.

In this episode of Service Course, Lizzy Banks talks to Henry Furniss, who describes his mission as 'enhancing adventure with disruptive techonology'. In 2019, he left WindyMilla, the company he co-founded, and the following year he hinted to Service Course what he planned to do next. Now he can put more flesh on the bones of his new project, which combines two of our favourite things – new materials and 3D printing. Lizzy met Henry on London's Brick Lane during the recent Rouleur Classic. Also in this episode, Lizzy chats to Tom about his production and sound design work on the Tour d'Écosse series for The Cycling Podcast and hints that there are plans for a full equipment and kit debrief with Lionel and Simon – neither of whom could be described as technical experts – in next month's episode.

Explore | Tour d'Écosse stages 13-15: Montrose – Peterhead – Elgin – Birnie – Dingwall
The final episode of the Tour d’Écosse series covers the last three stages of the ride to visit each of Scotland’s Football League grounds. Stage 13 of the trip takes Lionel and Simon from Montrose to Peterhead, via Aberdeen and a visit to Slains Castle, which inspired Bram Stoker’s Dracula. At 128 kilometres it’s the longest stage of the entire tour too but, fortunately, it's somewhat tailwind-assisted. The following day, however, they battle a fierce headwind on the way to Elgin City’s Borough Briggs, before the last leg takes them from Birnie to Dingwall, the home of the 42nd and final football club on their itinerary, Ross County. This episode also features a chat with Scotland’s Commonwealth Games road race bronze medallist Finn Crockett, who supports Ross County. In total, over 15 days of cycling, they covered more than 1,300 kilometres and spent almost 58 hours in the saddle. The Tour d’Écosse was recorded by Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill.

The Angus stage of the Tour d’Écosse takes Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill from Dundee up to Forfar and Brechin before dropping down to the seaside in Arbroath and finally hugging the coastline to Montrose. There are a couple of culinary delights on the way, the Forfar Bridie for brunch and the Arbroath smokies for lunch before heading to watch the Red Lichties, Arbroath, take on East Fife at Gayfield Park, which is apparently the closest football ground in Europe to the sea.

Explore | Tour d'Écosse stage 10: Bonnyrigg – Freuchie
After just 165 rest days, the Tour d’Écosse resumed in Bonnyrigg in late September for the final stretch of the journey taking in the remaining Scottish Football League grounds. The route director had to re-draw the course over the summer because Bonnyrigg Rose Athletic became the newest members of the Scottish League after winning promotion at Cowdenbeath’s expense in May. And so, instead of picking up where they left off in Alloa in April, Lionel and Simon head to Bonnyrigg, which is just south of Edinburgh for the first of six stages that would take them all the way north to Dingwall.

Movers and shakers
In the November episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks talk transfers. With a number of high profile riders swapping teams, The Cycling Podcast team discuss the mechanics behind the moves and how they might change the face of racing next year. Drawing particular attention is the official arrival of Zoe Backstedt on to the Women’s World Tour. The 18 year old is the first rider to ever hold four World Championship titles across four different disciplines at the same time. She speaks to Orla about her imperious year and her goals for the forthcoming season when she’ll join Lizzy at EF Education-TIBCO-SVB. Zoe will not only be racing against her sister Elynor (Trek-Segafredo) next year but will also be looking to beat her dad Magnus too. The former Paris-Roubaix champion will be taking up a place in the Canyon SRAM race car as their new directeur sportif Magnus chats to Orla about his ambitions to steer a competitive and popular Canyon SRAM team towards much needed winning ways. We also hear from one of Canyon SRAM’s recent departures – Ella Harris – who gives an honest appraisal of her time with the team. The New Zealand rider speaks to Lizzy about her progression from the Zwift Academy and looks to the future with her move to Le Col Wahoo.

Explore | Tour d'Écosse stage 9: Linlithgow – Alloa
All roads lead to Alloa as the first stretch of Tour d'Écosse stages come to a conclusion with a trip to see the Wasps take on Clyde in the shadow of the beautiful Ochil Hills. The roll out is from the site of the West Lothian Cycle Circuit at Linlithgow. Lionel meets Matt Ball, one of the driving forces behind the creation of the circuit about how he hopes it will inspire generations of young cyclists and give riders of all abilities somewhere to meet, ride and race. Then it's a short final stage via Falkirk, Stenhousemuir and Stirling before the last stretch to Alloa in time for kick-off and the pre-match specialty, a Scotch pie on a roll. Yes, you read that correctly – a pie in a bread roll. The Tour d'Écosse resumes next time with the final run of stages taking Lionel and Simon all the way to Dingwall, home of Ross County.

Explore | Tour d'Écosse stage 8: Leith – Dunfermline
After some initial confusion about which bridge would take them from Edinburgh across to Fife, Lionel and Simon’s Tour d’Écosse journey continues with stage eight. It’s a relatively short stage but there’s a deceptive amount of climbing on the course today and Simon is beginning to feel it. His efforts to slow Lionel down come to nothing.

Explore | Tour d'Écosse stage 7: Strathclyde Country Park – Leith
Stage seven of the Tour d’Écosse is as close to the traditional transitional stage as it’s possible to get. The route avoids the Bathgate Alps and takes the low route from Glasgow to Edinburgh. In Lionel and Simon’s defence they have to go via Livingston Football Club’s Tony Macaroni Arena. It’s a beautiful, quiet ride offering time for reflection and reminiscence before they reach the outskirts of the Scottish capital, Edinburgh. Simon visits the Caledonian Brewery before they reach the home of Heart of Midlothian and then it’s on to Hibernian and a glimpse of some Sunshine on Leith.

We’re still in Glasgow, and this is the big one, the Queen Stage of the Tour d’Écosse with seven current Scottish Football League grounds on the route, plus a couple of wild cards. Lionel and Simon drop in on Cathkin Park, the so-called ‘ghost ground’ and former home to the long defunct Third Lanark club. There are stops at Hampden Park, home of the Tartan Army, Parkhead – or Paradise to give it another name – Cumbernauld and Airdrie, the club with two second names Albion Rovers, Hamilton Academical and Motherwell. We also explore the sectarian divide which splits the city with Kenny Pryde. The eyes of the cycling world will be on Glasgow, and other parts of the country as Scotland takes centre stage in August 2023 as hosts of the UCI World Championships. The first ‘Super Worlds’ as Lionel calls it, will see 190 rainbow jerseys awarded across multiple cycling disciplines. But what will the World Championships mean for the future of Scottish Cycling?

Explore | Tour d'Écosse stage 5, part two: Dumbarton – Partick
We rejoin the Tour d’Écosse story midway through stage five, just as Lionel and Simon are about to cross back over the River Clyde and head into Glasgow. Has Simon got any cash for the ferry crossing? Will the rain dampen their spirits before they reach Partick? And most importantly what's for dinner in Glasgow? There are three more football grounds to visit, at St Mirren, Rangers and Partick Thistle, plus a visit to the cricket ground that hosted the world’s first football international match 150 years ago. We hear from Simon Inglis, the author and authority on football ground construction, about how the work of Glasgow-born architect and engineer Archibald Leitch shaped the way we watch the sport today. His stadium designs dominated football during its boom period at the beginning of the 20th Century and one of the finest surviving examples of his work is at Ibrox, home of Rangers. Then we catch up with Kenny Pryde, whose byline filled cycling magazines in the late 1980s and 1990s when Lionel was getting heavily into professional cycling and who later became a colleague. Kenny talks about the experience of covering Robert Millar’s career. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

With the rain hammering on the windows of their Clydeside loft apartment, Lionel and Simon decide to sit tight round the large dining table drinking coffee and eating porridge until the weather improves. There's the Killie Pie taste test, talk of Simon's phobia of big spoons, and then discussion of his previous exploits on two wheels. Simon has ridden from Lands' End to John o' Groats, from Tring to Tromsø and tackled the Transatlantic Way in Ireland so he's much more experienced than Lionel at long-distance, self-supported cycling. Finally, they can delay their departure no longer and the get on the road to Dumbarton via the Forth and Clyde canal. Dumbarton Football Club have a resident poet, Stephen Watt, who tells Lionel about the town and performs a poem he's written specially for The Cycling Podcast.

The Tour d'Écosse picks up where it left off, in Ayr, or more to the point in a pub in Ayr where Lionel and Simon have just ordered a dessert pizza that would horrify Ciro Scognamiglio and, for that matter, all Italians. Then it's back on the road, past the golf courses that decorate the Ayrshire coast, on the roads that made the Girvan one of the toughest stage races in Britain, and via an extraordinary – if brief – Elvis impression by Simon. We also talk Graeme Obree with Edward Pickering, author of the book The Race Against Time, and get our first glimpse of the Clyde as we arrive at Greenock Morton FC.

This is the Robert Burns stage, as Lionel and Simon head from Stranraer to Ayr to the Scottish poet's home town. The town's football team, Ayr United, are nicknamed the Honest Men – a reference to a line in one of Burns's most famous poems, Tam o' Shanter. They're getting into their stride now, tackling the second of three consecutive stages of almost 100 kilometres. It's a day that focuses on the cycling, the glorious Scottish countryside, the nature of friendship, grief and cycling's role in the healing process. There's also fuelling tips and psychological tricks from Lizzy Banks, and a poetry reading from Sir Chris Hoy to round off the episode.

This is the Tour d'Écosse take two. Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill return to Gretna, the first town visitors to Scotland reach after crossing the border from north west England, to finally get their ride underway. Starting from Gretna's Raydale Park ground, it's a ride of just over 75 kilometres to Castle Douglas. They tick off the first two football grounds – Annan Athletic's Galabank and Palmerston Park, the home of Queen of the South. Lionel sets out alone because Simon has some last-minute mechanical issues that require professional assistance. On the way, they meet Giancarlo Rinaldi who explains the history of Scotland's Italian immigrants and that the bicycle was invented in Dumfries, and Lionel proves to be quite handy at curling... although Simon insists it's just beginner's luck.

Explore returns with the Tour d'Écosse, a multi-part series telling the story of the beautiful game on two wheels. It was an idea dreamed up by Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill during lockdown, inspired by their childhood passions of cycling and football. The plan was to ride from Gretna to Dingwall visiting all 42 of the Scottish Football League grounds on the way. There are so many questions to answer... Will Lionel and Simon make it to Forfar without falling out? Why are Cowdenbeath called The Blue Brazil? What actually is Irn Bru? And do Lionel's ancestors really hail from Birnie? This episode is a prologue, of sorts. Lionel and Simon headed to Gretna in June 2021 ready to set off on their adventure but, as you'll hear, it turned out to be something of a false start...

Time Has Come Tadej
In this episode The Cycling Podcast looks back at the final Monument of the season, il Lombardia, otherwise known as the “Race of the Falling Leaves”. Did Tadej Pogačar manage to emulate last year’s success or was his Tour de France bête noire Jonas Vingegaard able to confirm his status as the peloton’s new climbing virtuoso? Daniel Friebe is joined by 2014 Lombardia winner Dan Martin and former team manager, communications chief & now journalist Brian Nygaard. We also hear, briefly, from Ciro Scognamiglio, who like Daniel was in Grenchen to see Filippo Ganna take aim at Dan Bigham’s recently established World Hour Record.

Van Vleuten rules the world
Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks return to give their impressions of this year's thrilling World Championship road race, which saw Annemiek Van Vleuten snatch the rainbow jersey and gold medal in the final moments. Van Vleuten took to the start line with a fractured elbow – sustained only a few days prior to the the race – and looked to be on super domestique duty for the Dutch team. But an opportunistic move when she rejoined the leading group within the last kilometre saw her take her second World Championships road race title. Van Vleuten has ruled the world this season – adding the rainbow jersey to victories in the Giro, Tour and Vuelta, plus Liège-Bastogne-Liège. In this episode, we hear from the newly crowned time trial champion Ellen van Dijk about taking her title, rooming with Van Vleuten and becoming a Netflix heroine. And the winner of the inaugural under 23 title Niamh Fisher-Black talks about an emotional race for her and her fight to even make it to the start line of the race.

Vinos de la Vuelta
The third Grand Tour of the year is also our third opportunity to take listeners on a journey through one of Europe’s powerhouse nations not only in bike-racing but also wine-making. As in previous years and ahead of this year’s Giro and Tour, we tasked Greg Andrews of Dvine Cellars with plotting our oenological odyssey – in this case with the help of Dvine’s Spanish expert in residence, their Canaries-born and raised Caledonian, Angus McNab. In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we take a break from our daily Vuelta coverage to taste the wines and hear Greg and Angus justify and in some cases defend their choices. The selection itself can be ordered from Dvine Cellars . The six wines are as follows, in the order that they ‘appear’ on the Vuelta route: - Bat Gara, Uno Txakoli, Basque Country - Bodegas Tobía, Reserva, Rioja (2014 Gran Reserva also available) - Raúl Pérez, 'Ultreia Saint Jacques', Mencía, Bierzo - Telmo Rodriguez, Al-Muvedre Tinto, Monastrell, Alicante - Callejuela, Hacienda de Dona Francisca, Palomino de Flor, Sanlúcar de Barrameda - Bodegas Bernabeleva, Camino de Navaherreros Blanco, Madrid The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

The grand cru Tour
In this episode, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe are reunited to discuss a vintage Tour de France. Every year, Daniel gives the Tour de France a rating of one to five wine glasses according to how good the race has been. The precise formula is, as you'd expect, a closely guarded secret but in this episode Daniel explains his mark for the 2022 Tour. We look back at the battle between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar and ask whether it is the beginning of a long-running rivalry or whether the Slovenian will be back on top next year. We discuss why the racing was so intense – was it just the Wout van Aert factor or was there more to it? And while it was a classic edition of the race, we talk about why the Tour still lags behind the Giro in an aesthetic sense. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

On the road to Saint-Étienne it was not only love that could break your heart, if you were Fred Wright then it was Mads Pedersen who held that ability as he took the stage from the day’s breakaway, another great win for a Danish rider. This was one of the only stages between here and Paris that looked like ending in a conventional bunch sprint but that went out the window when Caleb Ewan’s heart was broken by a crash that left him nursing a knee injury and unable to regain touch with the bunch. On a harder than expected day, the absence of Caleb’s team at the front of the chase meant that the stage swung in favour of the powerhouse breakaway.

Kilometre 0 – Rog's cobbles rehearsal
This episode of Kilometre 0 is one of the last things Richard Moore recorded for The Cycling Podcast before he died unexpectedly at the end of March. One day Richard noticed a couple of significant names on the start list for the Grand Prix Denain. It's not a particularly big race but this year it offered Primož Roglič, Jonas Vingegaard and a few other Tour de France hopefuls a chance to experience the cobbles in competition before the Tour's own date with the pavé. Richard called Lionel when he spotted Roglič's name on the start list and said, 'It'll make a great episode of Kilometre 0.'

Kilometre 0 – Danish Dynamite, part one
The long-awaited Grand Départ in Denmark gets underway with Friday's opening time trial and Copenhagen, a city that celebrates the bicycle, has never been more ready. Danish cycling is enjoying another wave of success with the likes of Mads Pedersen, Jonas Vingegaard, Kasper Asgreen among the ten home riders on the start list. But, like most cycling stories, the history of Danish cycling is complicated. This two-part episode of Kilometre 0 borrows its title from a brilliant book about Denmark's football team that took the world by storm in the 1980s, and tells the story of the rise, fall and rebirth of Danish cycling. In this part, Lionel talks to Brian Nygaard, who worked closely with Denmark's only Tour de France champion, Bjarne Riis. Of course, there is a heavy asterisk against Riis's 1996 Tour win because it was fuelled by EPO and came in the middle of the sport's darkest days – although the depths of skulduggery were not truly brought to light until the Festina affair two years later. As CSC team manager Riis was then a key player in the next big doping scandal to blight Tour – the Operacion Puerto blood-doping investigation which forced his team leader Ivan Basso out of the 2006 Tour on the eve of the opening time trial. Brian had a front row seat for that. Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens.

The Tour de France 2022 preview
Join Lionel Birnie, François Thomazeau and Mitch Docker in Copenhagen for an eve-of-the-Tour de France scene-setter before Friday’s opening time trial. We ask Mitch if he would have picked Mark Cavendish if he’d been selecting the Quick Step team, we ponder how Tadej Pogačar can be toppled, and ask if Ineos Grenadiers have fashioned their own version of the Bora-Hansgrohe quartet. Thankfully, we stop short of naming all 176 riders in our preview episode as the speculation threatens to get out of hand. Join Lionel, François and Mitch for daily coverage of the world’s greatest bike race after the opening time trial on Friday evening.

This Slovenian Life: part two
Part two of This Slovenian Life opens up on a rainy day in Ljubljana where Primož Roglič is waiting on the top floor of the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce. He'll (very colourfully) convey a few amusing anecdotes from his eventful past and the differences between coming up in ski jumping versus cycling. We then meet some of Slovenian cycling's youngest stars, the juniors racers in Tadej Pogačar's incubator Pogi Team. The Cycling Podcast joins them for two important races – a criterium in Italy and the Slovenian national road championships, one of their biggest tests of the season.

Les crus des flâneurs
A Frenchman, the poet Paul Claudel, once opined that “wine is a professor of taste, a liberator of the spirit and an illuminator of intelligence”. Far be it for us to make the same claim of The Cycling Podcast – though we can but try with our coverage of this year’s Grande Boucle, which starts from Copenhagen in Denmark on July 1. To enhance your enjoyment – and, who knows, aid your enlightenment – we are once again teaming up with DVine Cellars of London to offer a selection of six wines celebrating the Tour route. As ever, from Alsace to the northern shore of Lac Léman in Switzerland, from the Valley of the Rhône to the Lot, the wines will surprise and hopefully delight. In this episode, Daniel journeys to DVine Cellars HQ in South London to meet our resident wine guru and case curator, Greg Andrews, and discuss how Greg came up with this year’s selection.

This Slovenian Life: part one
To many cycling viewers, the rise of Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar may feel like it came out of nowhere. Longer-term cycling fans might remember the years of Tadej Valjavec and Jani Brajkovič as the first time Slovenia registered for them on the world stage of cycling. But the reality is, Slovenian cycling has been around for a long time, as long as cycling itself. In this first part of a two-part series for The Cycling Podcast, Kate Wagner shares her travels to Slovenia where she tracked down recent stars like Matej Mohorič, Primož Roglič, and Jani Brajkovič, long-retired ex-riders you may have never heard of such as Cantino Tollo rider Martin Hvrastija; historians, journalists and more to find the answers to the question we're all asking: how did Slovenia get to the highest echelon of professional cycling? In addition, Wagner mixes this account with history, culture, travel writing, and literature in order to paint a rich picture of Slovenia, her second home.

The Best There Never Was
This episode of The Cycling Podcast features Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie talking about Daniel’s biography of the German cyclist Jan Ullrich. Recorded over a glass of wine on the Giro d’Italia’s rest day in Abruzzo, Lionel starts by asking why Daniel wanted to write about the 1997 Tour de France champion. In a way it’s a classic tale of partially fulfilled talent – Ullrich burst onto the scene in 1996, finishing second in the Tour de France behind his Telekom teammate Bjarne Riis. The following year, while still aged only 23, Ullrich won the Tour by nine minutes. Cycling looked set for an era of total domination by the German. But it didn’t work out like that as Ullrich’s vulnerability was exposed partly by the pressure of being the focal point of an entire nation’s cycling hopes and dreams. Lance Armstrong came back from cancer and won the Tour seven years in a row and Ullrich was regularly his closest challenger. Then, after Armstrong’s retirement in 2005, Ullrich looked set to inherit the crown – until he was revealed to be a client of the blood doping doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.

The stage race trilogy approaches
The Cycling Podcast Féminin returns just as the Women’s World Tour peloton prepares to tackle three stage races in the space of a couple of months. First up it’s the Women’s Tour in Britain, then the Giro d’Italia Donne and finally, at the end of July, the inaugural Tour de France Femmes. In this episode Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lionel Birnie look ahead to the racing. Orla speaks to new World Hour Record holder Ellen van Dijk, who broke Joss Lowden’s distance which she set last year. How close – or far away – does the 50km barrier feel now? Lionel catches up with Lizzy Banks to discuss what’s in store for the Women’s Tour and finds it promises to be a much more dynamic battle for the general classification this year because of some tricky stages, not least the uphill finish at Black Mountain in Wales. And Rose speaks to SD Worx rider Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, who will spearhead her team’s challenge at the Women’s Tour in the absence of reigning champion Demi Vollering.

In this month's episode of Service Course, Tom Whalley and Lizzy Banks tackle the issue of concussion recognition head on. Tom and Lizzy investigate the technologies already out there that could transform concussion recognition in both professional and amateur cycling. Lizzy speaks to HIT Recognition founder, Euan Bowen about their device which can be placed on the back of a helmet and which provides instant g-force data to assess the impact when a rider sustains a hit to the head. Dr David Stevens of Neuroflex tells us about their virtual reality headset that is already transforming concussion recognition pitchside in rugby. Could this have the potential to be a fast, accurate and independent method of assessing vestibular and ocular motor changes due to concussion roadside in cycling?

Stage 19 | Marano Lagunare – Santuario di Castelmonte | Giro d’Italia 2022
The penultimate mountain stage of the 2022 Giro d’Italia took the race into Slovenia, with the battle for the maglia rosa still delicately poised. Could Richard Carapaz consolidate his advantage - or might Mikel Landa and Jai Hindley attempt to finally break the deadlock that has turned this into one of the closest, most uncertain Giri in recent memory? Breakaways have been consistently rewarded in recent days, and so it would prove again with Koen Bouwman taking his second stage win of the Giro. Meanwhile, despite numerous attempts from all three in the finale, Carapaz, Hindley and Landa still couldn’t be separated. In tonight’s episode, we discuss all the day’s action, welcome BikeExchange-Jayco directeur sportif Matt White for a drive-by cameo, and look ahead to tomorrow’s Dolomite blockbuster with some of the riders who’ll have to scale the San Pellegrino and Fedaia passes in just a few hours.

Kilometre 0 – In fair Verona
The 2022 edition of the Giro d'Italia finishes in Verona – just as the 1984 edition did, and it is that race which has long fascinated Lionel Birnie. It took place towards the end of the second great era of rivalry in Italian cycling. Francesco Moser was heading towards the end of his career and had yet to win the Giro. Time was running out but all of Italy was willing him to do it, including the race director Vincenzo Torriani. This episode tells the story of the 1984 Giro and features the journalist Herbie Sykes, author of Giro 100, but it also explains the city of Verona and its place in Italy through the eyes of another writer, Tim Parks, who in the 1990s spent a season discovering Italy while watching Hellas Verona home and away.

Kilometre 0 – Thinking pink
Professional cycling has until recently been slow to recognise the merits of sports psychologists and mental coaches, but that is changing in the age of marginal gains. Many riders now accept that brain power can add extra watts through the pedals – and the team leading the Giro hopes that it can help them carry the maglia rosa all the way to Verona. The Ineos Grenadiers’ sports psychologist Robbie Anderson has lived & consulted with his team’s riders through the Corsa Rosa. In this episode of Kilometre 0, he tells Daniel Friebe how he works, why cycling presents unique mental challenges – and why strange rituals involving props like salt cellars have gained such traction in cycling.

We hear from Valerio Piva, who helped steer Jan Hirt to a surprise stage win, and Pavel Sivakov, who helped steer Richard Carapaz through a stage that solidified his position in the maglia rosa .

Kilometre 0 – Poetry and motion
The Giro’s third rest day in Salò on Monday gives us pause to consider the curious intersection of the Lake Garda resort’s notorious history, one of the more scandalous films of the 20th century – and why the Corsa Rosa is as much epic journey as bike race. What happened in Salò? Who was Pier Paolo Pasolini? And do the Giro riders of 2022 consider themselves adventures and explorers or just racers? Featuring interviews with Giro director Mauro Vegni, Chris Juul-Jensen, Guillaume Martin and others.

Stage 14 | Santena – Torino | Giro d’Italia 2022
Last night Daniel Friebe longed for some action from the general classification contenders – today he got his wish with – as he described it – a ripsnorter of a stage in the hills around Turin. Daniel is joined by Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard to make sense of a crazy day which whittled the number of potential Giro champions down to a large handful. We’ll hear from the Bora-Hansgrohe management team about how they rode themselves into a strong position, we discuss the impact of the heat during this very warm edition of the Giro and we assess the likelihood of a close race for the pink jersey in the final week.

Kilometre 0 – Popo's mission
For most directeurs sportifs, especially one who spent his most important years as a cyclist in Italy, taking and defending the maglia rosa might be a euphoric experience. It is indeed for Trek-Segafredo’s Yaroslav Popovych, but, to him, Juan Pedro López’s pink jersey may also feel more like a welcome distraction. In February, Russia declared war on Popovych’s Ukraine, and three months on their bombs are still falling. Watching on from Italy, Popovych felt helpless – and yet soon swung into action. In this Kilometre 0, he tells Daniel about his extraordinary efforts to offer aid and in some cases salvation to his compatriots back home.

We go on the hunt for focaccia, break down the way the breakaway captured the stage and ask whether a win for a team’s established superstar is worth ‘more’ in terms of PR than a victory by a less well-known rider.

Kilometre 0 – La Rosea / The Pinky
La Gazzetta dello Sport is much more than just a newspaper. Founded in 1896, ‘La Rosea’ or ‘The Pinky’ (or also just ‘La Gazza’), quickly became an Italian institution and some would argue a cultural icon. The paper also launched the Giro d’Italia in 1909 and gave the leader’s jersey its unmistakable pink colour. Coffee and Gazzetta remain synonymous fixtures in many Italians’ morning rituals, but the print media has, of course, fallen on hard times. In this episode of Kilometre 0, we examine the origins of La Gazzetta, its rise and fetishisation by both Italians and foreigners – and La Rosea’s dip in sales and influence more recently.

We left the story of the 2012 Giro d'Italia on the eve of the Stelvio stage on the penultimate day of the race with the destiny of the maglia rosa still delicately poised. Ryder Hesjedal had trimmed Joaquim Rodriguez's lead at Alpe de Pampeago and just needed to keep the Spaniard on a leash to stand a great chance of becoming the first Canadian grand tour winner in the final time trial in Milan. In this episode we again here from the team's boss Jonathan Vaughters, rookie sports director Charly Wegelius and Hesjedal's right-hand man in the Garmin-Barracuda team Christian Vande Velde about a Giro decided by just a few seconds and the aftermath of the race.

Kilometre 0 – The duel, part 1
This is the tenth anniversary of one of the closest grand tours of all-time, decided by just 16 seconds after a two-week tussle between two very different riders. The Canadian Ryder Hesjedal and the Spaniard Joaquim Rodriguez took turns wearing the maglia roas as if they were playing a game of pass the parcel. It was an intriguing clash of styles too – the patient diesel versus the jack-in-the-box. In this two-part Kilometre 0, Lionel Birnie speaks to the boss of the Garmin-Barracuda team Jonathan Vaughters, first-time sports director Charly Wegelius, and one of the key support riders Christian Vande Velde about how they pulled it off. Just a few months earlier the team had almost ceased to exist and yet after a steady start in Copenhagen and a great team time trial when the race reached Italy they found themselves in the mix.

The Giro d’Italia lost one superhero in powder blue yesterday when Miguel Angel Lopez pulled out of the race and another Astana man announced his impending retirement, which will leave a shark-shaped hole in Italian cycling. Vincenzo Nibali, twice a winner of the Giro, arrived in his home town of Messina and announced his plan to retire at the end of the season.

Kilometre 0 – Hungary eyes
The Giro’s Grande Partenza in Budapest came two years after its intended date and hence was even more eagerly anticipated. Hungary had is venerable, beautiful capital, beguiling landscapes and a cycling scene beginning to soar on the wings of a new generation led by Attila Valter, the maglia rosa for three days last year. But there were also questions. Politics. Doubts about why the Giro had chosen this particular launchpad. Over a few days last week, we gauged the mood on the ground, in and well away from the race. And came away with mixed feelings. Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens.

In the latest installment of our post-stage Girovagando podcasts, we hear about a time trial result that few predicted but perhaps should have anticipated. We also discuss the other winners and losers of a stage before which Mathieu van der Poel held a slender lead on general classification. There are interviews with Bun Tulett, Rod Ellingworth and Richie Porte of Ineos Grenadiers, Matteo Sobrero and Damian Howson of Team BikeExchange, and, once again, the hometown hero Attila Valter. And we provide an update on the already mythical ‘Quest for the Stuffed Cabbage’. Giro dei Vini To order the Selezione Simpatica , head to DVine Cellars .

Stage 1 | Budapest – Visegrád | Giro d’Italia 2022
The Giro d’Italia rolled out of Budapest on Friday morning and we were on the ground in Hungary to see it. An uphill finish at Visegrád castle promised drama and the stage certainly delivered. In the opening instalment of our post-stage Girovagando podcasts, we dissect the action with Hans Ruggenberg of De Telegraaf, hear from hometown hero Attila Valter, clairvoyant Giro ringmaster Gianni Savio and various other protagonists - and also update listeners on our bumbling “Quest for the Stuffed Cabbage”. There’s, of course, plenty of talk about the flying Dutchman in pink - and why he began the day in a curious shade of another colour. We also hear from two of our three audio diarists for the Giro - Pavel Sivakov and James Knox - and reveal the identity of our third.

Kilometre 0 – The prodigious son
Attila Valter is one of three Hungarian riders lining up at this year’s Giro d’Italia. The other two, Erik Fetter of Eolo-Kometa and Barnabás Peák of Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert, will also enjoy rapturous support over the weekend – but there is no doubt that Valter is the prodigious son of Hungarian cycling. At last year’s Corsa Rosa , he became the first Hungarian to ever lead a major tour, wearing the maglia rosa for three days. In 2020, when Budapest’s Grande Partenza was cancelled due to Covid, Attila told us he feared that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had dissolved before his eyes. Now, two years on, whatever the outcome, his dream will finally become reality – as will the intoxicating pressure of the being the hometown hero, as Valter himself tells Daniel Friebe in our first Kilometre 0 of this year’s Giro.

Classic Springwatch
The Cycling Podcast Féminin returns to review the spring Classics campaign. Rose Manley and Orla Chennaoui are joined by Lionel Birnie as they each select their outstanding moments of the spring. Annemiek van Vleuten bookended her spring with victories in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Liège-Bastogne-Liège but she was outfoxed in several of the other classics. It was a spring of two halves for SD Worx, Trek-Segafredo found ways to win with Elisa Balsamo and Elisa Longo Borghini and Paris-Roubaix has evolved from a fledgling event to a full-blown Classic in the space of six months and two editions. Plus, we discuss the possibility of a women's edition of Milan-Sanremo being added to the calendar – although that should actually be re-added...

The Giro d'Italia preview
The opening bars of our theme tune – Cozze by Amaraterra – can mean only one thing. The 2022 Giro d'Italia is nearly here. Join us for Girovagando as we cover the race from Budapest to Verona. Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by Danish journalist Brian Nygaard – who featured in last year's coverage – for this bumper Giro preview, in which we look at the route, weigh up the potential winners and anticipate the culinary and cultural highlights along the way. We hear from Simon Yates of Team Bike Exchange, who is riding his fifth consecutive Giro and who has unfinished business with the race after coming within a couple of days of winning in 2018 and ended up on the podium last year. His sports director Matt White also gives his verdict on a very open GC race. Laura Meseguer of our Spanish cousin El Cycling Podcast assesses the hopes of Alejandro Valverde, Pello Bilbao, Mikel Landa, Richard Carapaz and Miguel Angel Lopez among others and there's a cameo from La Gazzetta dello Sport 's Ciro Scognamiglio too. This will be the seventh Giro d'Italia The Cycling Podcast has covered daily from start to finish – the eighth if you also count Our Giro, our virtual journey round Italy during the COVID lockdown. However, it will be our first without our leader Richard Moore, although Daniel and Lionel have vowed to channel their inner Spirito di Bufalo. Our coverage kicks off on Friday (May 6) with – appropriately enough – the first of nine episodes of Kilometre 0, followed by nightly recaps of the race action.

Il Giro dei Vini
Ever since 2020, The Cycling Podcast and Dvine Cellars of London have joined forces and united passions to offer a liquid accompaniment to our listeners’ Grand Tour experience. This year – after months of discussions and a highly contentious tasting session in March – we again settled on six bottles that hopefully represent the geography and the spirit of the upcoming Giro d’Italia. The name of the case – the Selezione Simpatica – is a nod to our great leader, Richard Moore. The wines themselves are surprising, unconventional and – with apologies to Richard and his time-honoured tasting notes – a little more than 'nice'. In this episode Daniel dives deeper with Greg Andrews and Luciana Girotto of Dvine Cellars. To order the Selezione Simpatica , head to DVine Cellars . (Please enjoy in moderation). A percentage of the proceeds from every sale will go to a cause chosen by Richard’s family. The full line-up of wines (in Giro route order), with tasting notes from Dvine Cellars, is as follows: Chateau Megyer Dry Furmint 2020, Tokaj, Hungary Furmint Hungary's most popular white grape for dry wines with a long, cool, flint minerality. Aged for six months in new oak barrels, rounding the acidity. Pair with fish and buttery, creamy sauces with mushrooms. Le Vigne Di Eli Etna Rosso 2019/2020, Sicily, Italy The 'pinot' of Mount Etna. Bright fresh summer fruits are tempered with a volcanic mineral influence making this a delightful savoury wine. Cantina Rapino GIRA 2015 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo DOC, Italy 100% Montepulciano, 100% guts, blood, sweat and tears. Intense aromas of game and hoisin sauce carry to the supple, polished, full-bodied palate. This is a rich red. Poderi Fiorini Lambrusco Becco Rosso 2021, Emilia Romagna, Italy A sparkling purply-red wine with hints of raspberry. It is dry, fresh and savoury, with a pleasant effervescence on the palate. Grab some mortadella and charcuterie! Russolo Doi Raps 2019, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Italy Packed with surprisingly ripe fruit flavours of lychee, white peach and candied lemon, the enchanting Doi Raps has so much character. The ripe fruit is joined by white flowers in bloom and a tingling, mineral finish. It's not very often you find such ripe flavours in this cool growing area of North-East Italy Marion 2020, Valpolicella Borgomarcellise, Veneto, Italy All red fruits, flowers and soft sweet spices, this is one of the most enjoyable and smashable reds you will see from this region

Service Course | Bikes from Nam
In this episode of Service Course, Tom speaks to Dan Craven, better known as Dan from Nam. Dan's career began in 2009 with the Rapha Condor team and he finished up in 2017 after a spell with Israel Cycling Academy, but that's probably less than ten per cent of the story. He memorably represented Namibia at the 2016 Olympics in Rio where he managed to live tweet his ride in the individual time trial. As a Namibian Dan has been at the forefront of the development of cycling in Africa and for his latest project he's packing his bags, leaving Girona and returning to Namibia where he will be building bikes. Dan's bike brand, Onguza, is not the typical bike brand you might expect from an ex-pro. He's not putting his name on a carbon frame built in a factory thousands of miles away, he's getting his blow torch out and producing handmade, steel-framed bikes. There are also words from Ian Boswell who pays tribute to our friend Richard Moore. Service Course by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Our friend, Richard Moore
This episode of The Cycling Podcast is a tribute to Richard Moore, who passed away last month aged 48. Richard founded The Cycling Podcast in 2013 with Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe and with his passing we have lost our directeur sportif, team leader, road captain and super domestique deluxe all in one. But more than that, we have lost our very dear friend. We would like to thank Seb Piquet, the voice of Radio Tour at the Tour de France, for hosting this conversation between Lionel and Daniel as they talk about their friendship with Richard and the years spent working together. Orla Chennaoui and Rose Manley, Richard's co-hosts on The Cycling Podcast Féminin, also share their memories. Other members of The Cycling Podcast's family that Richard was instrumental in building – Ciro Scognamiglio, François Thomazeau, Tom Whalley, Lizzy Banks, Kate Wagner, Mitch Docker and Brian Nygaard – also pay their tributes. We would like to thank all our listeners, friends and colleagues who have sent messages over the past two weeks, as well as our sponsors Supersapiens, Science in Sport and MAAP for their support and understanding.

James Roberts from Fit 2 Ride Bike Fit helps Lizzy understand the method behind the magic of a bike fit and finally Tom speaks to former British Cycling physio and author of Bike Fit Phil Burt.

The Volta Down Under
Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe are back to discuss the racing in Spain and Belgium. At the Volta Ciclista a Catalunya – or should that be Volta Down Under – Australian riders took the opening three stages and in Belgium we saw the World Cycle Path Championships, otherwise known as the Minerva Classic Brugge-De Panne. Daniel asks the key question – would you prioritise watching the race that takes place amid the gently rolling hills and verdant beauty of Catalonia, or on the semi-urban Belgian coastline? That might not be the exact wording but it was certainly a loaded question. We also look back at Milan-Sanremo and Matej Mohorič's use of mountain bike tech – the dropper seat post – to help him tackle the descent of the Poggio.

Countdown to Milan-Sanremo
The second of this week's episodes looks ahead to Milan-Sanremo and asks whether Tadej Pogačar can become the first grand tour champion since Vincenzo Nibali to win La Primavera. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss dominance and whether Pogačar is on course to 'complete' cycling. Winning Milan-Sanremo, a race that can be won by sprinters, climbers and attackers, would be his third Monument victory in under a year but other teams, notably Jumbo-Visma and Quick Step-Alpha Vinyl, will have plenty to say about that.

Rogačar
In the first of two episodes this week, Richard, Lionel and Daniel look back at Paris-Nice and Tirreno Adriatico, the stage races in France and Italy respectively won by the Slovenian superstars, Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar. Roglič’s performance in the ‘Race to the Sun’ ended up throwing up as many questions as answers, though in the end he did win – and that, as Lionel points out, is the crucial fact. In Italy, Pogačar continued his utterly dominant start to the season with a performance that only really suggested one question – what can Pogačar not win? Whether he will win Milan-Sanremo is the question we will turn to in the other episode due out later this week as we preview the first monument of the season.

Movistar on top of the world
In this month’s TCP Féminin we consider the rise of Movistar, the women’s team that has slowly established itself as a formidable force and, as of the beginning of March, the best in the world. In Annemiek van Vleuten and Emma Norsgaard they are capable of winning most, if not all, races. And their talents complement each other’s: Van Vleuten is aggressive and can go from a long way, while Norsgaard is a fast finisher – though far more than a pure sprinter. We hear from both Van Vleuten and Norsgaard in this episode, as well as from Sebastián Unzué, who runs the women’s team and is the son of Eusebio, who has run the men’s team for more than four decades. There are also interviews with Demi Vollering, Grace Brown and two newly appointed sports directors, Tim Harris at EF-Tibco-SVB and Jolien D’hoore, who retired at the end of last season and is now in the car for NXTG.

Wout the artist
Wout van Aert started his road racing season in emphatic style at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, finishing off a Jumbo-Visma one-two started by Tiesj Benoot. Richard Moore was in Gent for 'Opening Weekend' and he joins Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe to discuss the beginning of the classics campaign. We also dissect Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, which ended in the predictable sprint showdown between Fabio Jakobsen and Caleb Ewan but got there in far more surprising fashion. Daniel describes the concept of the 'cassoulet Taco' as the worst fusion cuisine imaginable, we highlight some of the other stars of the cobbles, and wrap up the rest of the week's racing action, which has been dominated by a handful of teams. In the final part, we discuss the Russian invasion of Ukraine and how it relates to professional cycling after Gazprom, the team sponsored by the Russian state-owned energy company, starred at the UAE Tour.

Service Course | Cycling in the metaverse
In this episode of Service Course, Tom jacks into the metaverse for a closer look at Bike Club, a new cycling club based around NFTs and run using block chain technology. Tom also looks at the wider ways in which sports are embracing NFTS, and with them cryptocurrencies, and how those technologies might alter the way we interact with online cycling platforms like Zwift. Along the way we hear from Rich Mitch and Tyler Benedict from Bike Club, Wes Salmon from Zwift, host of Welcome To The Metaverse Luke Franks, Capital Block CEO Tim Magnall, as well as The Cycling Podcast’s own Lionel Birnie and Kate Wagner.

The quadruple bill
In this week’s episode we discuss the smorgasbord of races over the past week, including the ongoing UAE Tour, and also look ahead to Opening Weekend in Belgium. Tadej Pogačar won the first mountain top finish at the UAE Tour, confirming that he is the man to beat in that race – and in many others this season. He is said to be targeting Milan-Sanremo and Daniel says that he can see a pogcineration on the Poggio. We hear from two of the young riders who’ve impressed in the stage races in Spain and Portugal over the past week, Magnus Sheffield of Ineos Grenadiers and Johannes Staune-Mittet of Jumbo-Visma. And we catch up with Primoz Roglič at his altitude training camp in Tenerife ahead of his 2022 racing debut later this week. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Sardines, Sangria and sprint relegations
The early season action continues to come thick and fast with races in the south of France, the Middle East and southern Spain. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss the Tour de la Provence, Tour of Oman and the new gravel race in Spain as the focus starts to switch to the 'holiday swing' as we're dubbing it, with the start of the Ruta del Sol in Andalusia and the Tour of the Algarve. The sun is shining and you can almost smell the sardines and sangria. It won't be long now until focus shifts to the grit and cobbles of Belgium. It was a week of Covid cases, sprint relegations and a disqualification and in part one we delve into the racing to ask whether Nairo Quintana's win in Provence means there's still hope for the 32-year-old Colombian in the grand tours. We discuss Filippo Ganna's bike change and the continuing Cofidis revival. Then we discuss the new Clasica Jaen Paraiso won by the current gravel king, Alexey Lutsenko. Does this mean there's a new leader in The Cycling Podcast's Performance of the Year powered by Cassoulet classification? We also discuss Chris Froome's recent comments questioning whether time trial bikes have a place in road cycling and in the final part we hear from Jumbo-Visma's manager Richard Plugge about Primoz Roglic and from George Bennett, the Kiwi climber who has swapped the Dutch squad and a role supporting Roglic for UAE Team Emirates where he'll ride with Pogacar. There's also some droning on about drones, a terrible Smiths joke and an inaccurate football analogy. If UAE Team Emirates are the Manchester City of cycling, what does that make Jumbo-Visma? All this and more in a bumper episode. Cycling Podcast history was made because, with Richard making a brief visit from northern France, this was the first episode recorded in Lionel's spiritual home town, Watford.

We have Vlasov!
In this week's episode we discuss last week's stage racing in Saudi Arabia, the south of France and southern Spain. Dylan Groenewegen and Fabio Jakobsen each won two stages at their respective races, and, although these are very early days, we wonder if the two Dutchmen may emerge as the world's top sprinters this season. We hear from the young Norwegian Tobias Johannessen, who finished third at Étoile de Bessèges. He is an identical twin whose brother, Anders, also rides for Uno-X, the ambitious Norwegian team eyeing a wild card for the Tour de France. And ahead of his season debut at the Tour of Oman, we speak to Mark Cavendish's coach, Vasilis Anastopoulos. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

This is a trailer for our latest series of episodes for Friends of the Podcast. To subscribe, go to thecyclingpodcast.com The Story of The Cycling Podcast is a trilogy of episodes commissioned and edited by three of our subscribers. In part one, How It Started , Jack Mckillop asks Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe about the origins of the podcast and how it has developed over the past nine years. Part two, by Scott Emmons, is called How the Sausage is Made, and goes behind the scenes to ask our audio producers how the podcast is put together. Finally, part three by Nick Busca is A Day on the Road and tells the story of a typical day at the grand tours through the prism of one of the most dramatic days in recent Tour de France history. Richard and Lionel recall the stage of the 2016 Tour when Chris Froome was seen running up Mont Ventoux without his bike.

Remco off to a flyer
Is Miguel Angel Lopez's crown as cycling's Superman under threat? Who's already looking al dente just a week into the season? Does the new Cofidis jersey look as good on the bike as off it? And just what should we make of the Astana rap? All these questions and more are covered in a bumper episode. With the road racing season well underway in Europe and the Middle East Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss what we've seen so far. The season was almost a week old and Quick Step were still waiting for their first win of the season until Remco Evenepoel took flight on stage one of the Vuelta Valenciana. We hear from Evenepoel about his thwarted attempts to check out the gravel finish to Friday's third stage in Spain. We also recap the rest of the racing, including Tom Pidcock's win in the cyclo-cross World Championships, and on the road at the Challenge Majorca, Grand Prix La Marseillaise and Saudi Tour. UAE Team Emirates head coach Iñigo San Millan tells us about ketones and, at the end of the show, Lionel looks at the history of cycling's world rankings and delves into the prospect of promotion and relegation in the World Tour.

Bernal's terrible crash
In this episode, Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe react to Egan Bernal's terrible crash while training in Colombia which left Ineos Grenadiers' reigning Giro d'Italia champion needing surgery on his back and right leg. Then we turn our attention back to previewing the 2022 season looking at the men's one-day Classics and asking who will challenge Wout van Aert while Mathieu van der Poel regains full fitness, how Ineos Grenadiers will deploy Tom Pidcock to greatest effect and where Remco Evenepoel fits into Quick Step's Classics line-up. We also hear from Bora-Hansgrohe's sports director Rolf Aldag about Milan-Sanremo. Finally, there's more from Richard on the early season form of Scotland's Mark Stewart.

Service Course | All The Rest Is Propaganda
“Whatever people say I am, that’s what I’m not”. In this episode Tom Whalley channels his inner Arthur Seaton as he looks at the history and legacy of the Raleigh brand, 20 years after they closed their final factory in Nottingham. Local historian Chris Matthews takes us on a walk of some of the key Raleigh sites in the city, and digital story teller James Walker talks about author Arthur Sillitoe’s classic novel, Saturday Night Sunday Morning, and its protagonist Arthur Seaton who worked in the Raleigh factory. We also hear from Julian Hopkins who collects Raleigh Burners and Ken Price who has one of the world’s most impressive collections of Raleigh Choppers. James Walker’s work includes Dawn of the Unread, an online graphic novel series celebrating Nottingham's literary history, and The Sillitoe Trail, which explores the enduring relevance of Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. More recently he has created the Sillitoe-inspired Instagram story The Loneliness of the Lockdown Runner and the D.H. Lawrence Memory Theatre.

Pogačar and the perfect carbonara
In our first regular episode of 2022 we anticipate the Grand Tours and ask whether it will be the third year of Pog – Tadej Pogačar. Daniel Friebe has spoken to Pogačar's coach, Iñigo San Millán, who describes him (Pogačar, not Daniel) as "the perfect athlete." We also hear from Pogačar himself. And we hear from Egan Bernal, who Richard spoke to in between training rides in Colombia (Bernal, not Richard). Bernal tells us that while the Tour de France is his main focus he would like to ride Liège-Basgogne-Liège and Flèche Wallonne as well. Rolf Aldag, meanwhile, tells us about Bora-Hansgrohe's ambitions as they transition into a team with a focus on general classification in stage races.

Meet the World Tour's youngest rider
In our first episode of 2022 we meet the World Tour’s youngest rider, Cian Uijtdebroeks. The 18-year-old Belgian has signed for Bora-Hansgrohe and will make his professional debut in Mallorca at the end of the month. Already dubbed “the next Remco,” Uijtdebroeks came to wide attention when he won the junior edition of Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne in 2020 with a 50km solo breakaway. But who is he, and how does an 18-year-old deal with the expectation and hype that comes with being a talented young rider in Belgium? Before Christmas, Richard went to meet him at the Uijtdebroeks family home close to the border between Flanders and Wallonia. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Welcome to The Cesares, also known as The Moonies, or to put it more simply The Cycling Podcast's alternative awards 2021. Our virtual ceremony hosted by Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe has none of the glitz or glamour of The Oscars or, indeed, any of the world's well-known awards nights. But it can only be a matter of time before The Cesares, or The Moonies, or whatever we're calling it is, matches the same prestige as the Velo d'Or or the Flandrien of the Year prize. So, without further ado, let's reach for The Cycling Podcast's pile of brown envelopes to see who the lucky winners are this year. Which race will claim the Definitely Not Flèche Wallonne Race of the Year prize? Who is in line for the Sex and the City Comeback of the Year gong? Who can stand in the way of Primož Roglič and the Primož Roglič Defeat from the Jaws of Victory award?

Explore | The 12 hills of Christmas
Explore usually takes riders a little further afield than just a few kilometres from their home but in this episode Lionel Birnie sets out on his familiar festive route in the eastern edge of the Chilterns. On the route are 12 hills and so this is the 12 hills of Christmas, a 90-kilometre route peppered with short climbs. While Christmas is a time for celebrations, lightheartedness and joy it's also a time for reflection on the year almost passed. Regular listeners will know Lionel missed a big chunk of the season and cancelled his Tour d'Écosse series for Explore at very short notice. While the roads may be reassuringly familiar, he also takes the time to explore less comfortable territory as he talks about his mental health and what happened this year.

Annus galaxicus: The grand tours
Our review of the 2021 men’s road racing season continues with a deep look at the three grand tours. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe weigh up the era of the galacticos in a year when the three outstanding stage racers – Egan Bernal, Tadej Pogačar and Primož Roglič – each won a grand tour. Transport yourself back to Italy, France and Spain with our greatest hits compilations, a selection of audio highlights from our travels this year, before we discuss each of the races in turn. We look back at the best days of racing, ask whether the Vuelta really is overtaking the Giro as the ’second’ grand tour, revisit Mark Cavendish’s record-equalling stage wins at the Tour and ask which of Bernal and Roglic is best placed to challenge Pogačar next season. We hear from Joe Dombrowski, Pavel Sivakov and Jonathan Vaughters on the Pog-nomenon and ask what threats there are to his dominance. And we speak to Toms Skujiņš about arguably the best day’s racing from the grand tours – or at least the day which provided the least expected thrills.

We hear from Jonathan Vaughters about the ways racing has changed and why a 'boring' race to watch does not mean an easy race to ride.

Annus galaxicus: The Classics, part one
In the first part of our look back at the 2021 road racing season, Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discussed the cobbled Classics. The Latin title of our series, Annus galaxicus, was Daniel's idea, naturally, and it refers to Julian Alaphilippe, Wout van Aert and Mathieu van der Poel, who looked set to dominate the one-day races. However, while all of them had outstanding moments, none of them managed to win one of the five Monuments. We ask why. And what was the outstanding Classic performance of the year? Tadej Pogacar's sports director Allan Peiper didn't hesitate when we asked him the question. We also hear from Tour of Flanders winner Kasper Asgreen and Lionel designs his five-course Monuments meal. Next week, we'll move on the Ardennes Classics and other eyecatching one-day races as well as ask whether any of the current generation of stellar stars can complete the career grand slam by winning all five Monuments.

Explore | Gravel at a crossroads
In this fourth and final episode in our mini-series of Explore we look at the gravel scene. Gravel at a crossroads is partly inspired by some of the reaction to our feature on the so-called "first professional gravel race" in Veneto in episode one. Some took exception to the description, with one listener advising us that if we want to talk about gravel we should speak to some Americans! So we have. In this episode we hear from Caley Fretz, editor of Cycling Tips and "groad" pioneer, and Ian Boswell, the former World Tour pro who won Unbound, arguably the world's biggest gravel race, this year. We also speak to two riders at a crossroads in their careers: Tiffany Cromwell, who is combining Women's World Tour racing with gravel races, and Finley Newmark, a promising young rider who is turning full-time to gravel in 2022.

He speaks with Max Leonard, co-author of Fixed, former bike messenger Emily Chappell, and Tibco-SVB’s Tanja Erath. Tanja came into pro-cycling through the Zwift academy, but before that she started making waves racing in fixed gear criteriums, notably the much missed Red Hook series. Tanja talks about the benefits of riding fixed and how she hopes to be able to ride fixie crits as part of next year’s race calendar.

The Ghent Six
This week's episode comes from the Six Days of Ghent, which is back this week after a year's absence. Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie report from a familiarly busy and raucous 't Kuipke on the opening night and speak to some of the star names, including Olympic Madison champion Michael Mørkøv and local favourite Iljo Keisse. We also hear from Maikel Zijlaard, riding his first senior Ghent Six and remembering his grandfather, who was one of track cycling's legendary derny riders. The director of the race, Christophe Sercu – son of the late Patrick – also tells us about this year's race and his hopes for six day racing.

Explore | On the trail of Alfred the Great
For this episode of Explore one of our audio producers, Adam Bowie, takes over on the mic as he sets off to ride the King Alfred's Way in the south west of England. The 350-kilometre circular, mostly off-road, bikepacking route features a mix of gravel tracks, woodland trails, canal towpaths and rural lanes as it takes in parts of the Ridgeway, South Downs Way, Shipwrights Way and Sussex Border Path. The route is named after Alfred the Great, who ruled the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex in the ninth century. The route passes King Alfred's statue in Winchester, where he is buried. This is not just a multi-day bikepacking adventure. Adam had a specific reason for undertaking the trip, because it marked an important point in an inspirational and transformative journey he'd been on over the course of more than a year as the country locked down during the pandemic.

The Giro's slow striptease
In this episode Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss the final unveiling of the 2022 Giro d'Italia route. The Giro stages have been revealed bit by bit this time in batches, rather than chronologically. Has this robbed the Giro route of some of its mystery and majesty or does it not really matter? And what are the other terrible innovations in recent grand tour history? It's track season, cyclo-cross season and silly season. We discuss the controversy of riders taking part in events on their new team's bikes before their contracts have expired in the light of EF Education First's threat to terminate Sergio Higuita and Lawson Craddock's contracts for doing just that. We ask whether Adam Yates's Barcelona marathon time was impressive for a professional cyclist. Richard's show and tell segment discusses a new show on GCN featuring EF Education First sports director Tom Southam teaching a bunch of fourth-category riders how to ride as a team, and we hear from Southam himself. And in the final part we speak to Tony Moffa, a Friend of the Podcast who has recently secured a job in the World Tour with Team DSM as a mechanic – a move which came about after he listened to our Friends of the Podcast special episode A Team Apart.

Explore | Mark Beaumont's GBDuro diary
In the latest episode of Explore we hear Mark Beaumont’s audio diary from GBDuro, the on- and off-road race the length of Britain, from Land's End to John o’ Groats. Amazingly this was Mark’s first ever organised race — though GBDuro is not a race in the traditional sense. Or perhaps it is? As well as being a test of endurance, it is an event that seeks to put cycle racing back in touch with its roots. With four ultra long stages, and with the riders unsupported and self sufficient, it arguably has more in common with the early Tours de France than the modern incarnation. As well as Mark — who told us all about his round the world record in our first ever episode of Explore — we hear from some of the other competitors.
