This week we’re talking all things Mathieu Van der Poel, with a review his 2019 masterpiece at Amstel Gold, a deeper review of his career and achievements in full, and some thoughts on where his road (and ‘Cross track and trail) might lead in the 2026 season. And as always, we’ll finish with a ride in the Broom Wagon.

This week we’ll be discussing our favorite camera shots of the 2025 pro cycling season, and we’ll have a discussion about the increasing use of drone videography in professional sports. And as always, we’ll finish with a ride in the Broom Wagon.

This week we’ll be looking back to 2021 to do a re-watch of the 2020 Women’s Olympic Road Race (you’ll recall the 2020 Olympics got pushed back a year because of Covid.) That was the year that an almost unknown rider for a tiny, not-traditionally-cycling-focused country pulled off an upset for the ages. We’ve been wanting to take another look at this race, especially in the wake of Canadian Magdelaine Vallieres’ recent stunning win at the 2025 World Championships in Kigali, Rwanda, and it did not disappoint, even though we knew the outcome. What a race. And as always, we’ll finish with a ride in the Broom Wagon.

This week we’re digging deep into a beloved and essential film in the cycling movie canon: 1979’s “Breaking Away”, directed by Peter Yates and starring Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid and Daniel Stern. This beloved coming-of-age film arguably launched the careers of these at-the-time very young actors, and remains a touchstone classic in the landscape of cycling films and indeed sports films in general. We’ll also have a round-up of current cycling news items, and as always, we’ll finish out with more year-two adventures in the Broom Wagon. Allez!”
