Velo Podcast

In the final instalment from the UCI Road World Championships in Bergen we look at back Peter Sagan winning his third straight title. He edged out home favourite Alex Kristoff and Michael Matthews to take the rainbow jersey in what was a nail-biting finish in Norway. We hear from Sagan, Kristoff, Matthews, and Greg van Avermaet who finished in sixth and analyse the race. We look at the Italians, French, Belgians and Australians and also pick out our own highlights from a fantastic week of racing in Norway.

In this episode of the Cyclingnews podcast we take you inside the UCI Congress at the World Championships in Bergen on a day that saw David Lappartient crush Brian Cookson 37-8 in the presidential election. It was a dramatic day of huge significance for the sport and we speak exclusively to both men just after the vote. We also share with you our insight and knowledge of how the voting played out; we analyse where Cookson lost the election; where Lappartient gained support and what this could mean for the future of cycling. We then go back to Wednesday’s time trial and look back at Tom Dumoulin’s incredible in. We hear from the new world champion, and Chris Froome about bike changes, the course, and the day’s action.
