2021/08/23

In the August episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin we have an in-depth interview with the surprise Olympic road race champion, Anna Kiesenhofer. Kiesenhofer tells us how she approached the race and started the early break, how much – or how little – she knew about what was happening behind, how she is adjusting to life as Olympic champion, and what she will do next. Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Richard Moore also discuss the recent Tour of Norway and there’s an interview with one of the

In the second instalment of our riders’ diaries from the Vuelta a España we hear from James Knox of Deceuninck-Quick-Step, Pavel Sivakov of Ineos Grenadiers and Joan Bou of Euskaltel-Euskadi. Bou is from Valencia and when the Vuelta reached some of his local roads at the end of the first week he shone, figuring in a couple of breakaways, including the strong break on stage six, from which Magnus Cort held on to win. Knox has been part of a team that’s won two stages with Fabio Jakobsen, whose

Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie dial up our man in Spain, Daniel Friebe, to discuss stage nine of the Vuelta a España, the final test in the mountains before the first rest day of the race. A couple of days ago we were hoping to learn more about the likely shape of the battle for the red jersey only for a number of riders to gain time in the break and muddy the picture at the top of the overall standings. Today we did get a sort out and with two weeks still to go the question for Movistar is, how

Although it was a quiet day on the Vuelta a España there’s plenty for Daniel Friebe, Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie to talk about. They discuss the sprint finish and a second victory for Fabio Jakobsen before reflecting on some comments from EF Education-Nippo sports director Juanma Garate about Hugh Carthy, who withdrew from the race yesterday. We ponder the impact of pressure and leadership responsibility following an excellent result – Carthy was third in last year’s Vuelta – and whether

The Vuelta a España burst into life with the toughest stage so far, to Balcón de Alicante. There was a desperate escape from the last chance saloon by Team DSM, a crash for one member of Movistar’s trident and a clutch of dangerous riders climbed back into contention. Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie dial up Daniel Friebe in Spain to discuss the action. Richard wastes no time claiming the stage winner Michael Storer for Scotland. We discuss the impact Alejandro Valverde’s crash and departure from

The Cycling Podcast ·

2021/08/20

Mark Padun’s back-to-back stage wins at the Critérium du Dauphiné in June shocked the cycling world. Long touted as a future star, the Ukrainian had seemed to stagnate in his second and third seasons as a pro - only to bounce back spectacularly in the Alps over that remarkable weekend in the late spring. Having missed out on selection for the Tour - to the surprise of many - Padun is now aiming to shepherd his Bahrain Victorious leader Mikel Landa to victory at the Vuelta, while also scoring a

The wind may not have blown particularly hard but it took only a gentle sea breeze and some narrow roads to create some Classic-style racing at the Vuelta a España. In this episode, Daniel Friebe has descended the Alto de la Montaña de Cullera in order to check in with Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie to recap stage six of the race which saw another change of leadership. But which Classic did the race resemble? Would Magnus be Cort or Not Cort at the finish? And what next for Movistar now they

We hear from Kenny Elissonde, who was talking down his chances of taking the red jersey before the stage, and discuss the crash which cost Rein Taaramae another day in the overall lead.

In this episode of Kilometre 0 we meet some of the other Slovenians. The small country has two of cycling's superstars, Primož Roglič and Tadej Pogačar.

In this episode, I caught up with multiple South African champion Ashleigh Moolman Pasio. We talked about her route into professional cycling, her QOM Strava record on the famous Rocacorba climb near Girona, and the challenge she set herself to get the best women's time below 30 minutes. Then, in the final part, we talked about the women's road race at the Tokyo Olympics. It was a very surprising race from a tactical point of view and I wanted to hear Ashleigh's account of how it played out. I

2021/08/04

It's a bit of a different episode of Life in the Peloton this week because instead of chatting to someone in the world of professional cycling, I decided to document a bikepacking ride I went on a few weeks ago. As many of you will know, my team – EF Education-Nippo – has embraced all sorts of cycling events in the past couple of years. You might have followed Lachlan Morton's Alternative Tour de France, for example. My adventure in Sweden came about partly thanks to our team's helmet and glasses

Yes they talk about some of the tech that helped win the men's and women's road races (hello Core temperature sensors), as well as some of the kit that's going to be unveiled at the track cycling events, but the main focus is not the Olympics. For this edition Tom has a long conversation with Justin McCurry, if that name is familiar to you, it's probably because Justin is The Guardian's Japan correspondent and so
