CyclingTips Podcast

This week starts off with a discuss of the road world championships, which look set to combine a brutal course with brutal weather.

Then, we discuss Campagnolo's new gravel group Ekar.

In this wide ranging interview Scott McGrory tells all about his reflections exactly 20 years after he won his Olympic gold medal in the madison, the hardships he endured in the lead-up, as well as the demons he’s struggled with ever since.

Buckle up and get a box of tissues and get ready for one of the most gut wrenching and inspiring stories that he so generously shares with us.

Was is a two crepe Tour? A three-crepe? 

The Tour is over, and we loved it. Thanks for coming along with us.

It all comes down to this. Primoz Roglic had 57 seconds on Tadej Pogacar. Was it enough?

Plus, the Giro Rosa ends in spectacular fashion, and we hear from Brodie Chapman on the final stage.

With both stage honors and a green jersey battle on the minds of the world's strongest one-day racers, stage 19 of the Tour turned into a mini Classic in the final 40km. We break down the action, give Sunweb some props, and wonder what CCC is up to. 

The Giro Rosa is wide open after the unfortunate injury and departed of Annemiek van Vleuten.

The last true mountain stage of this Tour de France saw a few attempts but not great movement at the top of the GC, and a heartwarming 1-2 finish for an Ineos that hasn't had the best Tour thus far.

The Col de la Loze did not disappoint. The narrow, steep final climb of stage 17 set the GC race alight, and may have clinched the win for Primoz Roglic. 

Plus, Marianne Vos won her third stage and the Giro Rosa and we hear from 2nd place on the day, Hannah Barnes.

Egan Bernal was in the gruppetto today, but was that on purpose? Will he go for stage wins? We discuss the defending champion's chances and much more.

Today's Giro Rosa segment includes a diary from Hannah Barnes, who has a few tricks up her sleeve for dealing with race hotels.

Wout van Aert was impressive, Primoz Roglic and Tadej Pogacar showed they are the men to beat, and Egan Bernal had un jour sans. We dig into what it means headed into the last week of the Tour de France.

At the Giro Rosa, Vos showed her strength and the coming days look incredibly difficult. We hear from diarist Ruth Winder on the tough third stage.

Sunweb showed once again that it's the most aggressive and cohesive stage hunting team in this Tour de France. The triple punch into Lyon gave them yet another victory. 

Plus we have a report from a gravel-filled Giro Rosa and a look toward Sunday's Tour massive mountain stage.
