S8 Ep101: Kilometre 0 – Meet the diarists

Episode 2: We have signed up nine riders and a sports director to keep audio diaries for us throughout the Tour de France and in this second episode of our Kilometre 0 series we'll hear from some of them.

Debutant Pavel Sivakov had an eventful opening weekend and in this episode we hear his anticipation at the prospect of riding the Tour de France for the first time, followed by two falls during the opening stage which have turned the opening week of the race into a battle to recover.

The full line-up is, Nikias Arndt (Team Sunweb), Sam Bewley (Mitchelton-Scott), Simon Geschke (CCC), Ryan Gibbons (NTT Pro Cycling), Jens Keukeleire (EF Pro Cycling), Michael Mørkøv (Deceuninck-Quick Step), Lukas Pöstlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe), Pavel Sivakov (Ineos Grenadiers), Connor Swift (Arkéa-Samsic) and Tom Southam (EF Pro Cycling).

Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Zwift, the app for riding, training and racing at home. Kilometre 0 is a 15-part series published on weekday mornings during the Tour de France.
