The Domestiques

Fresh from the Ardennes, Australian pro Jack Haig joins The Domestiques to take us inside one of the wildest weeks of racing on the calendar. Now in new colours with INEOS Grenadiers, Jack chats through the move from Bahrain Victorious, his role inside the team, the slightly chaotic kit situation, and what life actually looks like between Amstel, Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

Then it’s deep into the racing. From Kevin Vauquelin’s mechanical at Flèche, to the madness of Liège, UAE’s absurd chase, Tadej Pogačar’s alien-level attack on La Redoute, Paul Seixas announcing himself to the world, and Remco doing very Remco things, Jack gives us the kind of detail you only get from inside the bunch.

There’s also Giro chat, Geraint Thomas updates, white shorts discourse, Jack’s new life as content king, and a reminder that professional cycling is, apparently, just six hours of being violently motorpaced until your soul leaves your body.

A quick hit with the OGs, and somehow it still spirals.

Gravel’s having a moment, Hollywood’s avoiding it at all costs, and Marco’s deep in the trenches chasing form ahead of Seven. From Beechworth to Macedon, Hell Ride to airport loops, it’s a full spectrum of cycling chaos. On the pro side, Amstel Gold delivers mixed emotions, breakout rides, and a reminder that Demi doesn’t always win the sprint. Remco’s back doing Remco things, Jorgensen hits the deck, and the Ardennes ramp up with Flèche Wallonne and Liège on deck.

Plus: Aussie injuries, retirements, contract chaos, and a few takes that might get us cancelled. Short, sharp, and slightly unhinged.

Fresh off one of the wildest Classics weekends of the year, The Domestiques return with a blockbuster episode featuring one of the most compelling riders in the sport right now, Kim Le Court-Pienaar.

From the chaos of Roubaix to the heartbreak and brutality of Flanders, the crew unpack it all before diving deep into Kim’s story, a journey that spans continents, setbacks, self-doubt, and ultimately, history. As the first African rider to win a Monument and a stage winner at the Tour de France Femmes, Kim opens up on the reality behind the results. Plus a brutally honest look at team dynamics, domestique life, and why women’s racing still isn’t getting the coverage it deserves.

Chloe Hosking joins The Domestiques to talk everything AusCycling. From racing to governance, Chloe shares her perspective on where cycling in Australia is at right now, and where it needs to go. We get into the realities of board nominations, the role of clubs, and why the connection between the grassroots and the top end of the sport matters more than ever.

This isn’t a pile-on. It’s a measured, honest look at a system under pressure, and what it takes to actually represent the people inside it. There’s talk of selection pathways, decision-making, and the responsibility that comes with shaping the future of the sport. Not from the outside looking in, but from someone who’s lived it.

Milano–San Remo delivered exactly what it always promises… and somehow still surprised.

From a brutal, slow-burning build to one of the most chaotic and thrilling final 30km we’ve seen in years, this was cycling at its absolute peak. Crashes, comebacks, and a finish that came down to centimetres. The kind of race that reminds you why this sport hits different.

We break down:

• Pog’s unreal recovery and what it means for his legacy
• The tactical moments that decided the race
• Whether Pidcock let one slip
• The chaos, crashes, and courage in the women’s race
• Why Lotte Kopecky’s win might be bigger than it looks

Plus:

• Pro Velo Super League wrap
• Big performances from the next wave of Aussie talent
• And yes… Hollywood’s still whinging

Chloe Hosking was meant to join us to unpack what’s going on at Cycling Australia, but internet issues had other ideas. We’ll bring that conversation to you in a special follow-up episode later this week.

The Domestiques are back off the Peaks high and straight into a massive week of racing. We cover Grafton to Inverell, the latest from the ProVelo Super League, Paris-Nice, Tirreno-Adriatico, Trofeo Binda, and a full preview of Milan-San Remo. The crew break down Finlay Walsh’s huge win, Pat Eddy’s response in Inverell, Isaac del Toro’s rise, Van der Poel’s form, Vingegaard’s strange fashion choice in the freezing rain, and who could shake up the first Monument of the season. Plus, Rhino Keith gets a well-earned shout, Hollywood unpacks life after Peaks, and Tils cops questions about her date.

The crew finally unpack the much-hyped Post Peaks Challenge debrief. Tils, Hollywood and Marko relive the full chaos of the day, from freezing descents and fog on Hotham to missed groups, music failures, pain caves and the push for sub-8 glory. Spoiler alert: Marko, Tils and Hollywood DOMINATED. There’s plenty of laughs, a few near-disasters, some very honest suffering, and a proper appreciation for what makes Peaks one of the most special days on the bike. They also touch on Strade Bianche, the ProVelo scene, and the big stories that came out of a huge weekend of racing.

In this episode of The Domestiques, Tills, Hollywood and Marko unpack a huge Warny weekend - from Hollywood’s gritty on-road survival story (nutrition chaos, puncture drama and a borrowed bike rescue) to Matilda’s tough crash update and a no-holds-barred breakdown of how the men’s race tactics unfolded. The crew also recaps an exciting women’s edition, reacts to Omloop and Kuurne in Europe, and looks ahead to Strade and Peaks with form, weather and race-winning calls.

Warny week is here and this episode is stacked. We break down the headlines from the UAE Tour, where Isaac del Toro impressed, Luke Plapp climbed with confidence, and plenty of questions were raised, before diving into the chaos and GC shake-up from the ProVelo round in Tasmania ahead of the Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic. To close, we sit down with Maeve Plouffe for an honest chat about Europe, burnout, rediscovering joy on the bike, and her renewed focus on the track as a home World Cup approaches.

We've got a bit on this week. Peaks Challenge is almost here and the nerves are real. This week the crew dives deep into pacing Tawonga, surviving Hotham, fuelling like your life depends on it, and why the race is often won in the valleys, not on the climbs. Over in Tassie, the ProVelo Super League Tour of Tasmania is shaping up as one of the most open editions in years. With key names absent, the hilltop finish at Poatina could reveal the next breakout climber. In the Middle East, Jayco go on a UCI points raid, Luke Plapp takes a big step forward against Adam Yates, and UAE Tour looms with Remco, Del Toro, and a stacked Aussie contingent ready to test early season form. On the women’s side, Demi Vollering returns with intent, while the classics conversation is already heating up.
