Richard Moore is joined by former professional Ian Boswell and François Thomazeau for this week's episode as we discuss the Critérium du Dauphiné, look back on the Giro d'Italia and discuss the implications for cycling of the week's biggest story in sport, tennis player Naomi Osaka's decision not to participate in press conferences and to withdraw from the French Open. Is the Dauphiné a little "decaffeinated" in the absence of Primoz Roglič and Tadej Pogačar? Would a "mystery time trial" at the

The Cycling Podcast ·

2021/06/02

Life in the Peloton is back after taking a break while the Giro d'Italia was on, which gave me a chance to sit down with someone I've wanted to get on the podcast for a long time. Tsgabu Grmay rides for my old team, now called Team Bike Exchange, and he's racing his tenth season in the pro peloton. He was born and brought up in the Tigray region of Ethiopia and comes from a sporty family. I was really interested to hear the story of how he got into cycling and made it to the Tour de France, which

2021/05/28

One day before stage 20 of the Giro d'Italia begins in his home town, we take a look at a rider upon whose broad shoulders the hopes of Italian cycling seem to rest. Filippo Ganna is the world champion who on Sunday in Milan will be the favourite to win his fifth Giro time trial in a row. In this episode we speak to some of his rivals, including Edoardo Affini of Jumbo-Visma, to Rod Ellingworth, who works with Ganna at Ineos Grenadiers, and to Luca Gialanella of Gazzetta dello Sport.

A rider we’ve been tipping all Giro, Alberto Bettiol, finally got his stage win on a day when the other big news was the withdrawal of Remco Evenepoel. In our stage 18 podcast we discuss Evenepoel and the decision to throw him into the Giro and hear from a couple of other young riders, Tobias Foss and Attila Valter. We’ve also got an interview with the previous day’s winner, Dan Martin. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport. Supersapiens is a continuous

S9 Ep70: Kilometre 0 – The stage winners

The Cycling Podcast ·

2021/05/26

Eleven of the sixteen stages so far at this Giro d’Italia have been won by first time grand tour stage winners. Some – Egan Bernal, Giacomo Nizzolo – have not been much of a surprise. But some certainly have, and yet there have been days when the stage winner has been overshadowed by the GC battle. In this episode of Kilometre 0 we revisit their stages with some of the winners, including Joe Dombrowski, Taco van der Hoorn and Victor Lafay. And we hear from a rider agent, Gary McQuaid, about the

On the second rest day of the Giro d'Italia Richard and Daniel sit down in Canazei in the Dolomites to answer some listeners' questions. Topics include downhill time trials, littering, Italy and the Giro's place in its cultural landscape, and why there is no cycling equivalent of Sam Allardyce, the football manager. For a couple of questions we turn to James Knox, of Deceuninck-Quick-Step, and Eurosport GCN commentator Rob Hatch for their insights. The Cycling Podcast is supported by

After its ascent of the Zoncolan on stage 14, the Giro d'Italia remains in Italy’s far northeast on Sunday – and even dips into Slovenia – for a stage that reflects many of the region’s textures and contradictions. The local hero as far as the Giro is concerned was Alessandro De Marchi – but the former maglia rosa crashed out en route to Bagno di Romagna. In his absence, there will still be much for the home crowds to enjoy – and for the rest of us to discover about a corner of Il Bel Paese that

2021/05/21

Thursday’s twelfth stage of the Giro d'Italia was a paean not only to one of Italy’s cycling heartlands – the verdant hills and mountains of Tuscany – but also two legends of Italian cycling in Gino Bartali and Alfredo Martini. Martini is the lesser known of the pair but there is no doubting his status as a national sporting treasure, less for the six rainbow jerseys he amassed as the Italian team coach from 1975 to 1997 than for who he was and how he led his life.

Then, in Montelcino at the finish, we hear from one of the day's animators, Dries De Bondt, and also from a rider who climbed to third overall, Damiano Caruso. One of the big losers of

At Strade Bianche in March there was a leading group containing cycling's biggest stars – the world champion, the last two Tour de France winners, stars of cyclocross and the classics – and Michael Gogl. The 27-year-old Austrian, who rides for Qhubeka Assos, was the big surprise in one of the best races of the year – although his performance on the white dirt roads of Tuscany did not come as such a surprise to him and his team. As the Giro prepares to tackle the white dirt roads on stage 11, we
