Women's Cycling Weekly

It's a new year and we're baaaack!

Recorded just before Christmas, this week's episode features British track sprinter Sophie Capewell. One of the biggest new names in women's sprinting, Sophie came up through the GB programme and had a huge season in 2022, taking home medals at both the Commonwealth Games and the World Championships.

As well as her sprinting career, we spoke to Sophie about health and advocacy in sport, her studies, and her side adventures as a photographer. You can check out her stuff here.

This week we're joined by former Irish national champion Imogen Cotter, who spent much of her 2022 sidelined after a life-threatening crash in training just before the start of the season. We talked about her journey into cycling, recovering from her extensive injuries to be back racing in September, and how she keeps a positive outlook on her career.

Riding for Fenix-Deceuninck next year - FKA Plantur Pura - Imogen also told us about the team's step up to the WorldTour and her hopes for the 2023 season.

She's been a professional cyclist for 12 seasons and raced alongside some of the biggest names in the sport, but when Emilie Moberg took to the start of the inaugural Paris Roubaix Femmes she had no idea it would be her last ever race as a pro. The residual effects of a concussion she sustained in a crash during the race meant that she was unable to return to racing before retiring at the end of the 2022 season.

Despite ending her career this way Emilie has a lot to look forward to with studying nutrition and keeping one foot in the sport through her continued involvement with the Tour of Scandinavia through her father, Roy.
