The Roadman Cycling Podcast

As a companion podcast to last weeks episode on the Tour de France Hommes, we have the Tour de France Femme and it's a cracker.  The second year of the women's inclusion in the Tour promises to be even more dramatic and exciting than the first.  On the penultimate stage we have the Col du Tourmalet which is almost sacred ground for cyclists, followed by a Time Trial finale the next day? Could this route be any more perfect? Is Vos a shoe in? Sarah profiles some of the contenders that are looking to stick it to Marianne before she retires.  Our full back catalogue of episodes https://anchor.fm/roadman-cycling-podcast My gift to you is 14 days of free coaching.

Tanja Erath has ended her pro cycling career this year after a crash in the Tour Of Britain that left her with a broken rib, a broken collarbone and two broken vertebrae. Although physically recovered and offered a 2nd year contract at EF Education-TIBCO-SVBt Tanja decided that racing in the peloton was no longer for her.  She has now gone back to her original career as a doctor and in this podcast I have a great chat with her about female cycling, the pay gap and life after cycling and much more.
