Wheel Talk

The full team of Gracie, Loren, Georgie, and Abby are back this week for a lengthy discussion on Milan San Remo, including the attack that wasn't on the Cipressa, that crash, how UAE Team ADQ lost the race, and how Lotte Kopecky won it. Plus: a discussion of whether this means SD Worx-Protime can salvage their spring.

Abby also called up Margaux Vigié, who was one of the Visma-Lease a Bike riders to go down in the crash, to talk about her perspective on the incident.

Abby also sat down with Pfeiffer Georgi of Picnic PostNL to talk about her comeback after crashing in the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, her role on the team, and more.

There was a lot to talk about after the Trofeo Alfredo Binda, so Loren, Gracie, and Georgie all joined Abby this week on the podcast. We discuss the strength and depth of UAE Team ADQ, the importance of confidence in yourself and your team, how data has changed in-race decisions, and more.

It's a full team this week to discuss Strade Bianche! Gracie, Loren, and Georgie joined Abby to talk all about FDJ United-Suez, how the team expertly pivoted when Demi Vollering was taken off the board, what made Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney and Elisa Longo Borghini's bids for the win different from Chabbey and Koch's, and more.

We also talked about the importance of The Cyclists' Alliance, and you can find my written piece on their financial difficulties here.

A lot was learning during Opening Weekend, and Abby, Loren, and Gracie are here to break it all down. From FDJ United-Suez's seamless tactics to a promising spring ahead for Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney and our favourite storylines to look forward to this Classics season. Up next: Strade Bianche!

It's Opening Week! The week before opening weekend, the Wheel Talk podcast just opened our new Instagram account. Follow us for women's cycling coverage and news, plus more content from Abby, Georgie, Loren and Gracie.

This week, we talk about Pauline Ferrand-Prèvot's extension, salary caps, and the upcoming Classic - Omloop Het Nieuwsblad.

Plus, Abby chatted with Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig about coming back from her crash in 2024, her first year with Canyon-SRAM zondacrypto, and the one race she wants to add to her palmares.

After a windy edition of Setmana Valenciana, Gracie, Loren, and Abby chat about the Spanish stage race that attracts a good amount of top talent. They also break down the new Paris Roubaix Femmes course, what it means, and how the change of date will impact the race. Finally, it's back to the Winter Olympics to talk about which retired riders would return to the peloton today and throw their hats in the ring.

Gracie, Loren, Georgie, and Abby are back this week to talk about the UAE Tour, Lorena Wiebes, sprinting in February, UAE Team ADQ, and...the Winter Olympics.

This week, Abby, Gracie, and Georgie wrap up all the action in Australia with a chat about the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, including a fantastic rant from Gracie about the "doomed" solo breakaway. Georgie also sat down with Tour Down Under winner Noemi Rüegg before the race on Saturday to talk about her win in Adelaide, plus we look ahead to the UAE Tour and the Winter Olympics in Italy.

Before the peloton makes its way to Geelong for the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, Abby, Georgie, and Matilda Raynolds have a few points to wrap up the Tour Down Under. Plus, in Mallorca, it's Movistar vs. UAE Team ADQ for two (maybe three) races straight.

After a thrilling conclusion to the women's Tour Down Under, Matt de Neef and Gracie Elvin are joined by reigning Olympic time trial champ Grace Brown to break down all the action from a dramatic final stage.
