Watts Occurring

For their final guest this year, Emma and Manon are joined by a four-time World Junior Champion… Cat Ferguson.  Cat joins us fresh from a very intense team camp as she looks back on her first season racing with Movistar. She shares what it’s like moving from Yorkshire to Andorra on your own at just 19 years old, what she misses most from home and the shocking moment she was taken out of a race by a fan. And, Cat also shares an iconic post-Worlds celebration. Watts Occurring Femmes is brought to you by Rouvy, and hosted by Pinarello. Want a free month on ROUVY, on us?

While down at Rouler Live, Manon and Emma took the opportunity to invite Ella Lloyd in for a chat. Ella is one of the rising stars of the F1 Academy, racing for McLaren, and the girls got the inside scoop on what it’s really like to be a young woman racing at the top level of motorsport. Ella shared her unorthodox journey from getting started late in motorsport to now chasing some huge dreams, compared her daily training regime with Emma's, and educated the girls on the various different single seater disciplines. Emma didn't even try to hide her excitement as a lifelong F1 fan, fangirling over Ella while learning all the behind-the-scenes secrets of women’s racing! And, of course, Ella's Welsh - so she fit right in! You can follow her on Instagram @ella_lloyd05. Watts Occurring Femmes is brought to you by Rouvy, and hosted by Pinarello.

It's not very often we get G and Luke in the same room - but on Sunday night, the lads played our 2025 live show, at the Millennium Centre in Cardiff. It was an amazing evening and, again, a huge thank you to everyone who came. Before we opened the doors, the lads sat down to record a backstage pod, catching up on all the recent antics - which mainly revolves around celebrating G's retirement. It's been a lot of fun. The guys will be back next week. Want a free month on ROUVY, on us? Use code WATTS when you sign up and explore everything ROUVY has to offer.

This week on Watts Occurring Femmes, Emma called her one of best friends and teammates, Katy Marchant, and got her down to the studio. We're glad she did! Katy's a force of nature. Now 32, Katy's an Olympic Gold medallist, World Champion, mother-of-two and she's got her sights set firmly on the LA Olympics, in 2028. Her story is an inspiring one, and Emma and Manon brought the best out of her. You might just have to cover your eyes and ears when Katy details her horror crash at the London Velodrome during the Track Champions League last December. That was a rough one.
