The Domestiques

It’s easy to get swept up in the big lights of WorldTour racing, but the heartbeat of cycling still lives at your local club crit, your weekend fondo, or that small-town gravel race. So today, we’re reminding everyone: support your local races, show up, cheer, volunteer, because those grassroots events are the foundation of our sport.

Hollywood, Marko and Tils wrap up an unforgettable World Championships in Rwanda: a shock triumph by Magdeleine Vallieres, pre-race favourites fading out, and Pogačar making history by doing the Tour + Worlds double back-to-back. Add in Remco’s drama, the Healy vs Skjelmose tussle inside the Lidl-Trek pecking order, and Hindley battling to survive as gaps opened like a grand tour finale.

Hollywood and Tils are joined by Matt Wilson, co-founder of the Pro Velo Super League, former pro rider, and DS at Jayco–AlUla during that unforgettable Matt Hayman Paris-Roubaix victory.

We dig into whether the 2026 Pro Velo League is going ahead, the headwinds and surprises so far, and the future of talent development in Australia.

This is an exclusive chat with Matt Wilson, his first since the Pro Velo wrapped up this season.

In this episode of the Domestiques, we discuss a range of topics including the recent Vuelta a España, emerging talents in cycling, and the upcoming World Championships. We share some personal updates (well - focus on the torn calves of those in the group), highlight key performances from the weekend, and delve into the dynamics of team cycling. The conversation also touches on the growth of women's cycling and the impressive results from the Ironman World Championships.

This week on The Domestiques we’re joined by one of the most talked about riders in the peloton - Sarah Gigante. After seven months out recovering from iliac artery surgery, she’s stormed back to racing taking 3rd at the Giro and 2nd on the Queen Stage at the Tour de France Femme Avec Zwift. We talk about the whirlwind, coping with the fandom, media, what’s next and that descending!

In this episode, The Domestiques celebrates one of the best Tour de France Femmes and reflects on an amazing final weekend of Alpine racing.

The powerful history-making performance of Pauline Ferrand-Povet while little Aussie battler Sarah Gigante captured the imagination and won the hearts of a world audience.

If nothing else it’s a “must listen to” episode - if only to hear Hollywood’s unrecognisable and almost muted vocal tones.

The Domestiques, are joined by Anya Louw, teammate of Sarah Gigante and Kim le Court at AG Insurance–Soudal. We unpack the strengths and weakness of the riders, the teams development, and what it’s like supporting some of the world’s strongest riders.

Plus, we preview a massive weekend of racing — the queen stage, the final GC battle, and who’s poised to steal the spotlight.

Either way we are privileged to be living in an era when both living legends continue to entertain the masses.

But Bling is confident of a return to the world tour and back to his best sooner than later.
