Welcome to the WCW podcast's interview era. Throughout the winter I'll be bringing you chats with various guests from pro cyclists to industry professionals and the people BTS in the sport.

This week, I spoke to Cassondra Spring. Cassondra is the Global Marketing Manager of the women's-specific bike brand, Liv. We talked about her experiences in the sport and the cycling industry as well as a brand new female-led mentorship programme that Cassondra is part of, Uplift.

I hope you enjoy the episode!

It's been a few weeks since we got behind the mic so Rachel and I caught up with the recent Women's WorldTour races including Annemiek van Vleuten's LAST EVER pro race. Elsewhere, we chatted about transfers and, since it's basically the end of the season, we went over our fav moments from this year!

I'm joined by Rachel again to talk about Scandinavia, Tour de l'Avenir, and transfer news as well as dissecting everything that is wrong with the WWT calendar and why it means we're ready for a holiday.

The Tour de France Femmes band is back together with a wrap-up of the 'super worlds' and some other chaotic ramblings about whether the season is too long, and where Rachel is going on her holidays in a few week's time.

It's the Tourmalet and time trial wrapped into one. Rachel and I have completely lost the plot and so, apparently, have SD Worx if their post-race press conference is anything to go by.

It's stage six and oh my goodness the Tour is long, eh. I spent a wonderful day with the lovely Arnaud while Rachel sweated in the press room. We both get pied by riders at the finish and WCW pod gets an exclusive from the ice bath with Ashleigh Moolman Pasio!

SD Worx reckon they're above the law and Rachel is jealous that I'm heading out for a whiz through the French countryside with her man. Plus, another popular solo victory from a relative underdog at the Tour de France Femmes!

Stage four was not a good day for our nerves, but in racing terms it was the best one yet. A big break went away, and Fenix - Deceuninck got the win they so very much deserved, while the GC race got started in earnest. Meanwhile, Rachel was crying over literally anything and I was getting a bit overprotective of the paintwork on my car.

It's only stage three but nerves are frayed in the press room. Meanwhile, the vibe was the same in the Fenix-Deceuninck team car as Julie Van de Velde got oh-so-close to a solo stage victory. And why on earth won't SD Worx...work?
