The Cycling Podcast

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Larry Warbasse of Décathlon-AG2r La Mondiale and Team USA, plus Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch, as we look back at the men’s elite world championship road race that took place in Zürich last Sunday.The build-up to the rainbow jersey showdown had been soured by the news of Swiss rider Muriel Furrer’s death after her crash in the junior women’s road race on Thursday. We start by paying tribute to Furrer and imagining what could be some of the learnings from the tragedy. We then dissect Tadej Pogačar latest, superlative-defying performance on Sunday, examine some of those no-longer outlandish comparisons with Eddy Merckx and ponder what may be Pog’s next major goals.  Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastThe 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

Join Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell as they discuss a thrilling Women’s Elite World Championships Road Race which took place over a punchy 154 kilometres, finishing in Zurich.With an inter-team rivalry at SD Worx that has been building all year, the race was expected to be a showdown between defending World Champion Lotte Kopecky and all-conquering Demi Vollering. But also lining up were Tour de France Femmes champion Kasia Niewiadoma and Giro d’Italia champion Elisa Longo Borghini who come to the race with renewed confidence this year. Young stars like Puck Pieterse and Neve Bradbury also had the chance to prove themselves with a World Champion U23 title on the line in the same race. With the rainbow bands at stake, who will reign supreme?Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastThe 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Richard Abraham & Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch, as we look back at the World TT champs last Sunday and ahead to the men’s elite road race at the weekend.Remco Evenepoel’s victory sealed an historic Olympic-Worlds TT double…but the Belgian could yet achieve an even unlikelier feat if he adds Sunday’s road race title to the gold medal he earned in Paris in August. Tadej Pogačar nonetheless remains the favourite - and a first world title for him at the weekend would complete a remarkable sequence of his own: the same Giro-Tour-Worlds ‘Triple Crown’ that only Eddy Merckx and Stephen Roche have achieved before in men’s cycling. The British team will hope that neither Pog nor Remco leaves Zürich with the (RR) rainbow jersey - and their head coach, Matt Brammeier, tells us what to expect on Sunday from the likes of Pidcock, the Yates brothers and Stephen Williams. This episode is sponsored by NordVPNGet NordVPN 2Y plan + 4 months extra + up to 20Gb Saily data here ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It’s risk-free with Nord’s 30-day money-back guarantee.Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastThe 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

The Cycling Podcast Féminin is back! Returning for the first time since the Tour de France Femmes, Rose Manley and Denny Gray are this month joined by double Olympic gold medallist Jo Rowsell.  We look back at the Tour de Romandie where Team SD Worx's Lotte Kopecky dramatically took the overall win at the expense of usual stage racing leader Demi Vollering, doing nothing to quell rumours of a shift at the team. We dig into some of the transfer speculation that has been rife among the women’s peloton and we look ahead to the World Championships at the end of September, picking out our top contenders for the relentlessly punchy parcours. Our mini feature this month is on riders who grew up far from the traditional cycling heartlands. Kim Le Court of Mauritius, Antri Christoforou of Cyprus and Catalina Soto of Chile reveal their journeys to the professional ranks and what it is like to line up at most races as the sole representative for their nations. Plus Jo faces the big question on everybody’s lips: is Belgium a cheese country?

In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Richard Abraham & Swiss journalist Emil Bischofberger to look ahead to next week’s World Cycling & Para-cycling Championships in Emil’s home town, Zürich. We discuss the city’s, ahem, generally lukewarm feelings about the Worlds & whether they may have changed in just over a week’s time. We also look at the courses & zero in on the home nation’s medal hopes, which rest mainly on the shoulders of Marc Hirschi.  Also - & perhaps most importantly - what’s Tina Turner got to do with it?
