The Cycling Podcast

In this week’s special preview of the 2024 Vuelta a España, Daniel Friebe is joined by two of the guests who’ll also feature in our daily Vuelta podcasts over the next three weeks, Fran Reyes & Rob Hatch. First, there’s a round-up of the major headlines since our last episode. It’s then time to slip into Vuelta mode, first as we discuss the riders, then the route on which they’ll do battle. Three-time champion Primož Roglič has already won his race to get fit in time for the Gran Salida…& Daniel speaks to his DS, Rolf Aldag, about how he did it. We also discuss some of the other talking points, like Sepp Kuss’s chances of defending his 2023 crown & the UAE multi-headed monster.  Follow us on social media: Twitter @cycling_podcast Instagram @thecyclingpodcast The 11.01 Cappuccino Our regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray on a sweltering stage 1 at the Tour de France Femmes as they bring you the first of their daily episodes from the race.  What looked like a straightforward sprint turned out to be anything but as the riders headed from Rotterdam to Den Haag. Emotions were as high as the temperatures as the riders battled it out for the first yellow jersey of 2024.

The Cycling Podcast Féminin has everything you need to know about what has quickly become the biggest race in women’s cycling - the Tour de France Femmes. Rose Manley and Denny Gray take a close look at the eight stages that will take the riders from Rotterdam to the Alps across a week of racing. Special attention is paid to the upcoming Queen stage in our mini feature on Alpe d’Huez. While the men’s peloton have visited the iconic climb 31 times at the Tour, the women last raced there over 30 years ago during the Tour Feminin. We investigate the origins of the Alpe’s legend and speak to some female racers who have competed there in the past. Plus Rose and Denny weigh up who might be the biggest contenders for the fabled yellow jersey. While Demi Vollering has looked unbeatable across this year’s stage races, she lines up at the Tour with a somewhat depleted SD Worx team who are missing some of their strongest domestiques. Meanwhile Kasia Niewiadoma has enjoyed something of a resurgence this year, supported by a Canyon-SRAM squad which continues to discover new depths. Plus no-one can discount Giro d’Italia winner Elisa Longo Borghini, looking to make it a Giro-Tour double. And while the racing is highly anticipated, so too are the cheese possibilities as Rose and Denny prepare to embark on their own Tour de France, where they will be doing daily podcasts on-the-ground, beginning on 12th August.

In this Arrivée episode from The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley and The British Continental’s Denny Gray take a closer look at the women’s Olympic road race. With spectacular views, an iconic Eiffel Tower finish and a punchy parcours, the race promised to be one to remember. A number of hot favourites led the field. Lotte Kopecky, the Belgian superstar who has made no secret of her Olympic ambitions faced the likes of Team SD Worx teammates Demi Vollering and Lorena Wiebes - part of a Dutch team stacked with talent. But this is the Olympics and riders would do well to remember Anna Kiesenhofer’s surprise win in Tokyo. The win really could come from anywhere.

In this episode of Arrivée, Daniel Friebe and Décathlon-AG2R La Mondiale ace Larry Warbasse reflect on a memorable men’s Olympic road race in Paris. A 272km race with just 90 starters promised to be a gruelling affair - and certainly a spectacular one with its three ascents of the Butte de Montmartre to one of Paris’s most famous landmarks, the Basilique du Sacré-Cœur. Could Mathieu van der Poel justify his favourite’s billing after a low-key Tour de France - or would his eternal rival, Wout Van Aert form a deadly duo with countryman and newly crowned Olympic TT champ Remco Evenepoel?  These and other questions were answered on Saturday afternoon - and Daniel and Larry review what we found out here.
