SBS Cycling Podcast

The season is at a close, but before the #sbscycling podcast crew goes into hibernation there is one last gabfest wrapping up the UCI Road World Championships, 2017 Tour de France route reveal and TUE frustration.

The team gets together for a look at the UCI Road World Championships in Doha, Qatar. It's hot but they are still racing. With some winners already crowned and others yet to be called a world champion.

La Vuelta is over. How good was it - or weren't you watching?

Our National Road Series is in a sorry state. It continues to produce graduates worthy of a place in the WorldTour but that's not the point. Name a team or race promoter that is satisfied with the way things are being run and we'll show you pigs that can fly.

He could've been one of the greats but Matthew Goss decided to call it quits last week, at the ripe old age of 29. What legacy does he leave behind?

The year's final Grand Tour is in the home straight. It would require a near-catastrophic set of circumstances for Nairo Quintana to lose - but then again, this Vuelta has been anything but typical.

Speaking of things left field, should we legalise doping in cycling - or are we winning the war on drugs?

In our final #sbstdf podcast of 2016, the team talk about the highs and lows of the world's biggest bike race, and whether the spectacle lived up to expectations or fell short of the mark.

In today's #sbstdf podcast the Cycling Central team analyse the final hurrah in the Alps, dominated by a day-long escape that, on the precarious descent to Morzine, saw its winner gap Vincenzo Nibali of all people.

In this #sbstdf podcast the Cycling Central team, along with special guest Pat Shaw from Avanti IsoWhey Sports, dissect a dramatic stage to Saint-Gervais Mont Blanc, which saw a number of big names take a spill including the maillot jaune, and speculate on what the final Alpine leg may bring.

In today's #sbstdf podcast we dissect the outcome of the uphill time trial to Megève, and look ahead to the showdown on Mont Blanc.

Richie attacks! In today's #sbstdf podcast we discuss the rise and rise of Richie Porte, the Team Sky stranglehold, and the Pandora's box that is Russian athletes (or should that just be Russia?).

In today's #sbstdf podcast we find ourselves waxing lyrically about Sagan (again!), and salivate over the first of a four-day Alpine fiesta.
