May 24, 2019 Rouleur Podcast May - Larry Warbasse, Conor Dunne and Lee Turner
As the Giro finally enters the mountains, we catch up with Larry Warbasse and Conor Dunne. At the end of last season they were jobless after the collapse of Aqua Blue Sport and set off on a bike-packing adventure they called the NoGo Tour. Now they're back racing the roads of Italy - Larry with AG2R, Conor with Israel Cycling Academy. We also meet the legendary Lee Turner, Melbourne's multi-hued pro-kit enthusiast, who's on a one-man mission to put a bit of fun and colour back into cycling. Stuart Clapp is planning a photo-shoot with cyclists on horseback, but he still finds time to have a pop at Adam Blythe's dress sense.

May 10, 2019 Rouleur Podcast May - Desire Edition
In a special edition of the podcast to tie in with the magazine's Desire issue, presenter Ian Parkinson is joined by Managing Editor Ian Cleverly, Desire Editor Stuart Clapp, Marketing Exec Miles Baker Clarke and top bike photographer Benedict Campbell. What are the latest trends in bikes and kits? How do you take pictures of your pride and joy? Are 650B wheels really the future? What's wrong with wearing pro kit if you're not a pro rider? And crucially, why are gravel bars that funny shape?

April 26, 2019 Rouleur Podcast April - Eros Poli and David Millar
It's 25 years since the giant figure of Eros Poli pulled off one of the most surprising Tour De France victories ever with a solo breakaway over Mont Ventoux. Eros recalls that memorable mountain stage and reflects on his time as the Lion King's lead-out man. David Millar faced many challenges in the saddle during his career but nothing could have prepared him for his upcoming ride - Leicester to Blackburn in the company of Rouleur's Stuart Clapp. He explains why he's doing it, and looks forward to the Giro and Tour. Meanwhile, Stuart is getting excited about Rouleur's special Desire edition and a top secret product launch in Tuscany.

April 11, 2019 Rouleur Podcast April - Flanders Special - De Vlaeminck, Maertens and Harry Pearson

A Flanders themed edition to mark the climax of the Spring classics season.
Ian Parkinson talks with legendary hard-man Roger “Mr Paris Roubaix” De Vlaeminck – always good value for an inflammatory soundbite, as seen in the latest edition of Rouleur. Freddy Maertens recalls the triumphs and disasters from a career which saw him win World Championships, Grand Tours and Classics – and reflects on his sometimes stormy relationship with Eddy Merckx. Harry Pearson – author of The Emperor, The Beast and The Milkman, analyses cycling fans love of all things Flemish – chips, beer, cobbles and the sheer grittiness of the riders. Our Desire Editor Stuart Clapp would never make it as a Flanders hardman – he remembers the time he burst into tears at the top of the Muur. It’s a long story…

January 31, 2019 Rouleur Podcast January - Mike Woods and Nick Craig
Michael Woods led the EF Education First team at Tour Down Under, finishing seventh on GC. Ian Parkinson talks to the Canadian who had a fine 2018 season and started this year in decent shape. He’s been practising his descending using visualisation techniques, adapting to the intense heat in Australia, and building towards the Ardennes Classics. Will he have time for some gravel racing in the summer? Nick Craig is a legend of the UK off-road scene, a ten-time British cyclo-cross champion, holding numerous MTB titles and a three-time winner of the Three Peaks in Yorkshire. Now, at the age of 49, he has landed a rainbow jersey too. Ian Cleverly catches up with Nick on his fine career and finds out about the Ride For Charlie Fund, created in loving memory of Nick's son, Charlie.
And talking of legends, Desire editor Stuart Clapp waxes lyrical about the Colnago Concept with (shock, horror) rim brakes. Don’t @ him.
He also goes off on a flight of fantasy about Rouleur’s new columnist Romain Bardet – man crush and then some.

January 17, 2019 Rouleur Podcast January - Grand Tours Preview and Seb Piquet - "Voice of the Tour"
Rouleur editor Andy McGrath and Ian Parkinson pore over the three Grand Tours of 2019 and consider the possibilities. Can Simon Yates return to the Giro d’Italia to correct unfinished business and take the maglia rosa all the way to the finish this time out? Will Team Sky go out with a bang at their final Tour de France before the sponsor leaves and its star riders are (potentially) scattered to the winds for 2020? And will the Vuelta prove, as so often, to be the least predictable and mountainous of the three-week races? Shorter stages and brutal climbs abound in September. No surprises there…
Seb Piquet is the voice of Radio Tour – keeping teams, journalists and officials abreast of developments on the road during the Tour de France and other ASO races. It’s a gripping job and he’s a fascinating chap. Plus Rouleur’s Desire editor Stuart Clapp, another fascinating chap (well, he has his moments), visits the British national cyclo-cross championships and thoroughly enjoys the racing – and warm cider. And is the bucket hat, de rigueur for ‘90s ravers and Gallagher brothers alike, coming back courtesy of EF Education First and Rapha? Get one on, matey.

December 20, 2018 Rouleur Podcast December - Deignan, Hammond, Kluge and Rasch.
On this edition, Lizzie Deignan tells Rouleur's Hannah Troop about her new team, training, ambitions for next year - and motherhood. It won't surprise you that this Yorkshirewoman has the 2019 World Championships firmly in her sights. Ian Parkinson talks 'cross with Mike Kluge, founder of Focus Bikes, and Roger Hammond, who won his junior world 'cross title the same day Mike won the senior. Meanwhile, Stuart Clapp is in Mallorca with Team Sky, at a tricky time for the all-conquering British squad. He brings along his new friend - Sky DS Gabriel Rasch, the inspiration behind Castelli's game-changing Gabba rain jersey.

December 06, 2018 Rouleur December Podcast - the Xmas Preview
Ian Parkinson has some gift ideas for the cyclist in your life in this edition, ably assisted by our Desire editor Stuart Clapp and a host of special guests. Sir Bradley Wiggins tells us about his new book Icons and why, somewhat controversially, Lance Armstrong is included among his 21 cycling heroes in this handsome tome. Cillian Kelly, statistician extraordinaire, is the man behind The Road Book, a mighty 900-page record of the 2018 road season edited by Ned Boulting and including essays from Rouleur contributors Morten Okbo, Matt Rendell, Philippa York and many more. Ian spoke to Cillian at the Rouleur Classic to get the story behind “the Wisden of cycling”. The guys at Prendas Ciclismo have a fine range of jerseys titled Forgotten Races, made in conjunction with Santini. Andy Storey and designer Fergus Niland take us through the tales behind the collection. Plus photographer Laura Fletcher has an exhibition at Look Mum No Hands on the wonderful world of Japanese keirin racing, shot in Kyoto. And Stu gets misty eyed and a bit tearful recalling the bike his parents sold from beneath him when he was just a boy. Kleenex at the ready…

November 15, 2018 Rouleur Podcast November: Holm, The Wolfpack, Bettini and Burton.

Quick Step Floors tally of 73 wins for the 2018 season was a remarkable total and testament to the work of Patrick Lefevere and the entire team. Rouleur podcast regular Brian Holm tells us what makes the team tick from top to bottom, while photographer Sigfrid Eggers spent the whole year embedded with the Quick Step squad to produce his new book, The Wolfpack: 365 days on the Road. Plus Olympic and double world champion Paolo Bettini, Denise Burton-Cole on her mother – inaugural Rouleur Classic Hall of Fame inductee Beryl Burton – and our own Stuart Clapp gets up close and personal with the stars at our three-day show in London.
