The Rouleur Podcast

Rouleur LIVE has become renowned as the off-season bash for the cycling industry, featuring talks with the sport's biggest names, exhibits from the biggest brands, and a passionate and knowledgeable audience and public (that's you). The 2024 edition will be our biggest and best ever, taking place at London's Truman Brewery between November 14-16 and featuring special guests like Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, Fabio Aru and Alejandro Valverde.

To whet our listeners' appetites for Rouleur LIVE 2024, we're running some recordings of our stage shows from 2023. The first is a three-way conversation between the first three winners of Paris-Roubaix Femmes – Lizzie Deignan, Elisa Longo Borghini and Alison Jackson, a fascinating chat which conveys their very different characters, but also the bond that they share as the queens of the Queen of Classics.
