So many questions from Hollywood who’s preparing for his own personal racing goals.

It was Super Sunday in Adelaide and The Domestiques were in cycling heaven with so much activity.

And we did.

A note: We apologise for today's audio - a few mishaps, which will be addressed tomorrow.

Sara Carrigan confirmed her place in Australian cycling folklore when winning the gold medal in the Road Race at the 2004 Athens Olympics.

The Domestiques welcome one of only two women to have achieved such an honour.

Sara explains her involvement at the 2025 Tour Down Under.

And while an absent Hollywood (mixing with the VIPs) is noticeable, Sarah joins in to unpack a thrilling stage decided on the summit at Willunga Hill.

We are live and on location at Australia’s premier cycle tour.

The World Tour has officially begun with a bang and we don’t just mean Hollywood is in town! Stage 1 of the Santos Tour Down didn’t go to script. We break down the winners and losers, preview the queens stage, Tommo is off the back and we give you the inside scope on Caleb Ewan, will we ever see him again in racing?

Massive thank you to our partners Black Sheep Cycling, Marsh insurance, Texco construction and Transport Mutal Credit Union!

Perth put on a terrific show by hosting the Road Cycling National Championships for the first time.

Hear the opinions of The Domestiques as they unpack a weekend to remember in the WA capital city.

And although former national champion Sarah Gigante was a notable omission following surgery, she too shares her thoughts on how the titles can improve in future years.

We chew over the fat as we look ahead to what promises to be a fascinating edition of the Tour Down Under.

An entertaining edition of The Domestiques is here.

It’s a brand new year and The Domestiques delivers the ultimate preview to the Australian Road Championships in Perth.

Cycling’s “Mr WA” Matt Poyner tells us why the 2025 Road Nats will be special in every way.

His local knowledge of the spectacular city course is one reason why cycling supporters should be excited.

It’s a terrific way to kick off the new season.

The story of Rachel Neylan leaving her home in Sydney to pursue a career as a professional cyclist on the World Tour is fascinating.

She shares the path taken in creating a brilliant career and the sacrifices made in this fascinating episode of The Domestiques.

We also look back on the year that was in our final episode of 2024.

The many highs, the not-so-many lows and everything in between.

It’s been a terrific year of growth for The Domestiques and we wouldn’t be in such a high without our sponsors (Marsh insurance + Black Sheep) and our loyal listeners.

Thank you and see you in 2025!
