His palmares is amongst the most unique in cycling's history. A Paris Roubaix winner, a champion at Paris-Nice, three Tour de Romandie titles and of course - in 1987, the Triple Crown which saw him join Eddy Merckx as the only men in the history of the sport to take home the Giro, Tour and World Championships in the same season. As we discovered, he's a capable raconteur off the bike too with more than a few enchanting stories of his time on the bike.

In this conversation we learned how the extraordinary 1987 season came to be, and how when it appeared his opponents held the upper hand, Stephen found a way to power back.

Superteams are a mainstay in the World Tour peloton from UAE and Jumbo in the men's pack, to the inexorable rise of Canyon-SRAM in the women's. One team is aiming to join their number with a radical philosophy - "don't be a prick" and back the homegrown talent from your nation. Uno X earned their first Tour de France wildcard spot in 2023, entering the race with a roster built entirely from Danish and Norwegian riders - they have a women's team and a development team and continue to add bigger names to their roster every season - with Andreas Leknessund and Magnus Cort joining their men's team roster. Their women's team though less rigidly tied to the Dano-Norwegian rider selection with Brits, Swedes, and Italians amongst their roster - but their ambition is no smaller. Both teams aim for the World Tour and in this conversation Jens Haugland reveals his action plan to get there.
