We're back! Chaos levels are nearing Tour de France Femmes heights and it's only March but we managed to pull it together to dissect Strade Bianche and look ahead to Ronde van Drenthe and plenty more in between.

Rachel joined the pod to talk about all things Opening Weekend and look ahead to Strade! Was Omloop a fluke or are we in for a more balanced 2024 season?

Rachel and Tildz take us through their experience from on the ground at TDU including their numerous Adelaide food recos (giant donut, anyone?) Plus, we chat about whether the peloton will bring more of a challenge to SD Worx in 2024.

In potentially the most chaotic episode of WCW to date (itself a solid achievement) Rachel, Tilda, and I (Amy) headed over to Belgium to watch the CAPS Urban Cross X2O Trofee in Kortrijk. I forgot the muff for the microphone (sorry about the wind!!) Rachel doesn't own any appropriate shoes, and Tilda was going to go without gloves. If you make it through this entire episode you are a saint!!!!

It's another IRL interview this week! I tracked down Brodie Chapman in her home base of Andorra to chat about what has been a difficult season for the Australian national champ, how she's spent her off season, what she's looking forward to next year and learning from her Lidl Trek teammates. Brodie is always full of interesting thoughts and opinions on how to improve the sport and we talked about the ways in which women's racing is changing, and how organisers need not be afraid of challenging the peloton.

If you enjoyed this chat with Brodie then please consider rating and reviewing WCW on whatever platform you're listening on!

This week I managed to snag an IN PERSON interview with the lovely Lizzie Stannard. Lizzie started the year on the Zaaf team -- we all know how that one went by now -- but managed to get a ride for Israel Premier Tech where she ended up racing all three grand tours and totting up a whopping 61 race days! We chatted about Lizzie's journey into the sport, her aspirations to become a dependable domestique and how she's learning to speak Russian...

It's another interview pod! This week Amy chatted to 21-year-old Kiwi, Kim Cadzow who has spent the 2023 season racing for the Jumbo Visma women's team but will join the new EF team for 2024. Kim is a promising climber and showed her strengths at the Tour of Scandinavia and the Vuelta Ciclista Valenciana this year going head-to-head with some of the biggest names in the sport.

A brief pause in the interview pods as Rachel returns to the pod to discuss the 2024 Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift route which was revealed this week! From Rotterdam to Alpe d'Huez with a weird split day and an Ardennes stage this route has a LOT going on, but is it all good?
