    Review of 2024 - Ep.4: The Speculation Audit

    The Cycling Podcast’s kicked off 2024 in time-honoured fashion with our Speculation Episode - a chance for us and illustrious voices in the world of procycling to foretell the story of the approaching season. Did we get everything or indeed anything right? Now, with the year drawing to a close, the three co-hosts for that first episode of the year - Daniel Friebe, Rob Hatch and Larry Warbasse - reconvene to reality-check what they and others said would happen in the season just gone.  Who could see a Pog triple crown written in the stars? Who didn’t think Mark Cavendish would take his 35th Tour de France stage win? And what other egg are we left licking off our faces, at the end of an at times  eminently predictable, at times highly surprising campaign?  The Cycling Podcast is presented by Shokz The Cycling Podcast is proudly brought to you by Shokz, pioneers of bone-conduction headphones.

    It’s a bumper transfer special on The Cycling Podcast Féminin this month. In what is proving to be one of the busiest and most significant transfer markets in recent memory, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Orla Chennaoui discuss all the major moves. With so many of the peloton’s biggest champions making the switch, we pick out which transfers excite us and surprise us the most. We’ll be discussing the comebacks of former world champions Anna van der Breggen and Pauline Ferrand Prevot in detail as well as looking at the consequences of moves by the likes of Elisa Longo Borghini, Niamh Fisher-Black, Juliette Labous, Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig and of course Demi Vollering. Our mini feature takes us back to the Tour de France Femmes where Rose and Denny explored why the Dutch always dominated the women’s road racing scene. We speak to Team SD Worx’s Lorena Wiebes and Mischa Bredewold and former pro Iris Slappendel, and get an outside perspective from British riders Lizzie Deignan and Becky Storrie. Also on the agenda, we ask what would your grandma rather eat: a mint chocolate selection box or a chocolate orange?

    Review of 2024 - Ep.3: Farewells

    We continue our review of the men’s 2024 professional season, this week focussing on the riders who have called time on their career in recent months and weeks. Daniel Friebe is joined by one still relatively new retiree, Joe Dombrowski, and a rider who is very much still an active member of the pro peloton, Larry Warbasse, as we reflect on the achievements and legacies of Mark Cavendish, Thomas De Gendt and others.

    Review of 2024 - Ep.2: Annus Horribilis

    We continue our review of the men’s 2024 professional season, this week focussing on the riders, teams and trends that had a year to forget.  After Daniel’s controversial suggestion last week that it was in fact such a bad year that it was a good one for INEOS Grenadiers, who will come under the spotlight this time around? Rob Hatch has at least one nomination for a team that fared worse than the Brits - while Richard Abraham is blowing raspberries at the whole, once great cycling nation of France after its lacklustre few months.  Cofidis certainly didn’t wow anyone in 2024 - and we hear from one of their departing riders, Harrison Wood, about why it became an annus horribilis for that team.

    One Foot in the Gravel

    On this month’s episode of Féminin, Orla Chennaoui joins Rose Manley and Denny Gray to look ahead to the Tour de France Femmes 2025. With the route announced by race organisers ASO last week, we offer up our thoughts and predictions on what should be a gripping nine days of racing. We can also finally discuss one of the biggest transfers in women’s cycling. After months of speculation (and some acrimony), Demi Vollering has officially confirmed that she will be moving to FDJ-Suez on a two year contract. But with French GC hopefuls Juliette Labous and Evita Muzic already there, we explore whether FDJ’s co-leadership tactics are going to pay off. Plus following the recent UCI Gravel World Championships won by Marianne Vos, this month’s mini feature is on the rapid rise of gravel racing. We hear from 2023 Gravel World Champion Kasia Niewiadoma and British gravel racer Danni Shrosbree about why more and more road racers are taking on the discipline.

    Review of 2024 - Ep.1: Annus Mirabilis

    In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by Rob Hatch and Richard Abraham, as we kick off our series of 2024 season review episodes.  This year the boys’ task was simple: come up with a list of riders, teams, trends and concepts for whom 2024 was a memorable year, preferably without dwelling too much on the exploits of a certain Slovenian. The nominations were whimsical, surprising and in some cases provocative.  Follow us on social media: Twitter @cycling_podcast Instagram @thecyclingpodcast LinkedIn Sales Navigator Let LinkedIn Sales Navigator help you sell like a superstar today.

    In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by François Thomazeau & Richard Abraham, as we deliver our verdict on the newly minted 2025 men’s & women’s Tour de France routes.  François is in Paris to catch up with old friends and familiarise himself with the new Tour parcours. We discuss whether it really is a Jean-Marie Leblanc tribute Tour, how delighted Tadej Pogačar should be this evening…& why François may soon have to learn to love La Plagne.  Follow us on social media: Twitter @cycling_podcast Instagram @thecyclingpodcast Indeed If you are looking to hire someone for your company, maybe the best way isn’t to search for a candidate but to match with Indeed.
