2021/07/08

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, join Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau in a bustling square in Nîmes to recap the 12th stage of the Tour de France. A short, flat stage looked certain to finish in a sprint but the peloton allowed a break of 13 riders to get away. There was no chase from the most likely candidates, Deceuninck-Quick Step, and so Mark Cavendish’s bid to equal Eddy Merckx’s record of 34 Tour de France stage wins will have to wait for another day. Instead,

For the first time in Tour de France history, a stage took the riders over Mont Ventoux twice in the same day. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau were in Malaucène to see Wout Van Aert win the fourth Tour de France stage of his career. Giddy at rejoining the Tour bubble (or perhaps he spent too long in the sun), Lionel indulges in some wild speculation. The day was also notable for an attack by Jonas Vingegaard as they reached Mont Ventoux for the second time which led to the

On the day the Tour de France returns to Mont Ventoux we look back at the last visit, in 2016, when chaos ensued and Chris Froome, in the yellow jersey, ended up running up the climb. Helping us piece together what happened on Bastille Day, 2016, are Froome, Richie Porte, Serge Pauwels, Seb Piquet and the stage winner who few would remember, Thomas De Gendt.

The Mark Cavendish comeback tour continued after the rest day with a sprint stage to Valence which saw the Manxman take his third victory of the race and another giant step towards equalling the record we dare not mention. Richard Moore and François Thomazeau are joined by Lionel Birnie, who took the TGV to Valence and enjoyed as comfortable a train ride as Cavendish on the back of the Deceuninck-Quick Step lead-out. We hear from Matt White, sports director of Team Bike Exchange about Michael

The Cycling Podcast ·

2021/07/05

The Tour des Flâneurs takes a gentle deviation from the race route to visit L'Auberge du Père Bise where former pro rider Clément Chevrier works as a sommelier. Chevrier, who rode for IAM Cycling and then AG2R, retired last year at the age of 28 having completed the Vuelta a España three times and the Giro d'Italia twice. The transition from the pro peloton to life after cycling can be a difficult one, especially at an age when many riders are just approaching their peak. But Chevrier has swapped

In our first episode of Kilometre 0 from the 2021 Tour de France we look at the region where the race is spending its first few days: Brittany, or Bretagne. It's France's cycling heartland, with a rich tradition that is still evident with no fewer than ten Bretons riding this year's Tour. We hear from the region's great hope, David Gaudu, as well as from a British rider who rides for a Breton team, Connor Swift.
