In this rerun of a standout episode from October 2023, Ronan Mc Laughlin and Caley Fretz sit down with Mathieu Heijboer, Head of Performance at Visma-Lease a Bike, for an in-depth look at what makes the most dominant team in men’s cycling that year tick.
From the team’s humble, winless days in 2015 to their Grand Tour-conquering present, Heijboer shares the inside story of that transformation.
The conversation covers the team’s three core performance pillars: training, equipment, and nutrition and how a shared philosophy, built on collaboration and constant refinement, underpins every decision. Heijboer breaks down the team’s use of data analysis, altitude and heat training, metabolic profiling, and their careful vetting of wearable tech and equipment partnerships.
This episode offers rare insight into how Visma structure their training camps, manage talent, and make performance-led decisions.
