    Annemiek van Vleuten - From €100 per month to Tour de France winner - Domestique Hotseat

    One of the most decorated riders in modern cycling joins us on The Hotseat. Annemiek van Vleuten opens up about her unconventional path to the top of the sport, from studying animal science and zoonotic diseases in Wageningen to becoming a Tour de France winner and World Champion. Starting her cycling career at 26, Van Vleuten shares how raw physical talent, relentless goal setting and a fearless mindset helped her rise through the peloton at a time when women’s cycling was still largely amateur. She reflects on the evolution of the sport, from earning just €100 per month to witnessing the rapid growth, professionalism and global attention the women’s peloton enjoys today. From battling for position on the cobbles of the Tour of Flanders to managing the pressure and isolation of Grand Tour leadership, Van Vleuten offers a rare and honest perspective on what it really takes to win at the highest level and why, despite her dominance, she chose to walk away at her peak.

    Amazing racing through Flanders Fields - Domestique Cycling Podcast

    This week we review three major races and look ahead to Dwars Door Vlaanderen. At the E3 Saxo Classic, Mathieu van der Poel completed a hat-trick — but only just, surviving a desperate final kilometre as his chasers hesitated at the critical moment. Does this raise questions about his Tour of Flanders form? At Gent-Wevelgem, Van Aert and Van der Poel went clear together on the Kemmelberg in a rare head-to-head duel, before being swept up by the peloton near the line. Jasper Philipsen took the win. At the Volta a Catalunya, Jonas Vingegaard was dominant from the first mountain stage onwards, winning on the Coll de Pal and the Santuari de Queralt to seal the GC ahead of Evenepoel and Lipowitz. And with Dwars Door Vlaanderen on Wednesday, we look at the key favourites and five riders who could surprise. This episode is fuelled by MNSTRY.

    Henk Vogels: "Learn to use your brain and not just your quads" - Domestique Hotseat

    In this episode, former rider Henk Vogels joins the Hotseat for a wide-ranging conversation that covers the state of young talent in the peloton, why he fears for riders like Paul Seixas being thrown into the Tour de France at 19, and what he thinks the UCI should actually be spending its time on instead of regulating sock height.  He also makes the case for franchising WorldTour teams, explains why finishing the Tour de France earns riders exactly nothing, and asks out loud why a sport watched by millions still can't get its economic model right. Vogels also reflects on the dark ages of the 1990s, when performance enhancing practices were rarely discussed openly, but almost never came as a surprise, often hidden behind the so called omerta.

The Australian domestique talks about the BB Hotels KTM collapse that left him without a team in December, what he learned riding alongside Chris Froome, the political pressure of racing for Israel Premier Tech in 2025, and what it actually felt like to beat Tadej Pogačar in a bunch sprint. He also shares his view on how nutrition and race speeds have changed the peloton since 2017, why he avoided the Tour Down Under for the first decade of his career, and what he makes of the culture shift from IPT to NSN.
