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

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

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

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

With no World Tour teams currently riding Bianchi bicycles, Tom looks at the fascinating history of one of the world's oldest bicycle manufacturer.

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

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

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

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

But a strong four-man breakaway group would upset the odds. In tonight’s episode we are joined by the Acting American Ambassador to Italy, Thomas D.

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
