    Classics season with Cyrus Monk

    Classics season with Cyrus Monk

    Aussie Cyrus Monk reviews the Classics Season, and his own first-hand experiences of all it's chaos. Cyrus has a very altered path into the professional peloton. A true 'Aussie Battler' with a beautiful mullet, Cyrus takes us through his unique nutrition routine, the art of the breakaway and fighting for a Grand Tour spot.

    Paris Roubaix in review with Sarah Gigante

    Paris Roubaix in review with Sarah Gigante

    In this latest The Domestiques episode, we dive headfirst into the chaos and charm of Paris-Roubaix. Tomo, Tils and Hollywood break it all down - buzzing over the iconic race where the reining World Champs smashed it, taking home the unique cobbled trophy. But that’s not all – we're super psyched to have Sarah Gigante join us, and she’s nothing short of amazing. From her reflections on the nail-biting races to her own rollercoaster journey in the cycling world, Sarah gets real about what drives her and the hurdles she’s leapt over.



    We chat about the incredible vibe of the women’s race (only its fourth run and already unmissable), dig into the gritty details of the men’s race, and even geek out over Black Sheep’s latest Aero jersey drop. Sarah’s insight is gold, sharing tales from her Euro racing adventures, her massive training loads, and even her April Fool's pranks – yep, she's got a sense of humor to match her pedal power.



    Beyond the laughs, we also touch on some serious stuff, like the need for better safety measures in races and the heartbreak of crashes. All that - and more - in the latest episode of The Domestiques.

Best podcast on Australian cycling

I got switched on to listening to The Domestiques during the Tour Down Under and since then have totally binged previous podcasts! With current rider Matilda Raynolds (providing fantastic racing insights) to respected commentators and fans Mike Tomalaris and Lee Turner the show provides a well rounded and humorous take on all things cycling.

Congratulations to the three hosts on a classy product!
