In this episode, I caught up with multiple South African champion Ashleigh Moolman Pasio.

The Cycling Podcast ·

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

In this month's episode of Service Course, Lizzy and Tom turn their eyes on Japan. 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

Who would succeed Golden Greg Van Avermaet and Golden Anna van der Breggen as the Olympic road race champions? Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss the opening weekend's action from the Tokyo Games, focusing on the way Richard Carapaz managed to escape the stranglehold of Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogacar to win the gold medal. The big question, though, was why didn't the others lend Van Aert a bit more of a hand when it came to chasing the Ecuadorian rider in the final stages of the race. We

Life in the Peloton is back with a chat with my teammate Magnus Cort Nielsen, who talks through his journey from growing up on one of Denmark's islands to winning stages in the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España.
