    24/12/2017 Duração: 01h05min

    It's Christmas Eve! Traditionally we've recorded a look back at the year and talked a bit about what's coming up. This year we're reviewing things a little differently, as we take a look back at some of the most popular stories and subjects we've addressed over the years and what they teach us about the sport, the audience and the business of Pro! Women's! Cycling!

    06/12/2017 Duração: 53min

This is a positive episode and we'll really love for you to share it with us. Thanks for listening, we hope you've had as much fun as we have.

  • Sarah interviews... Helen Wyman on her 2017

    02/12/2017 Duração: 41min

    British cyclocross rider Helen Wyman has always been a fan favourite, and it seems like her racing is getting better than ever. Winning her fourth Koppenbergcross this season, she was on the podiums of the last two Cyclocross World Cups, and with the weather turning wet, rainy and muddy, just as she likes it, this could be just the beginning of an exciting season. We talked about what's made a difference, and how the sport has changed over the last five years - including how Helen's work on the UCI Cyclocross Commission has contributed to that. It's not all 100% positive, and we also talked about the changes Helen would like to see in the future, as well as losing her sponsor at a tricky time.

Speaking of worlds, we're two weeks out from the festivities in Bergen and so of course it's time for the (sigh, eyeroll) polemica. This year it's Australia's turn to do something unforgivably stupid, and Dan's got shoutpinions about it.

    This week we cover the results from Sweden with the Vargarda Team Time Trial, and the Road Race. We also have an interesting diversion into how the calendar shift of this race has changed the way it's raced and the results. Ella CyclingTips this week had a really interesting interview with Leah Thorvilson, the Canyon-SRAM rider who was the winner of last year's Zwift Academy. We discuss that interview and the broader impact of Zwift Academy on the sport, especially interesting as the second year of the program is due to start in September. As always, lots more fun, laughter and Australian weather updates included!

With races suiting different types of riders and different types of racing there was no shortage of surprises and feats of phenomenal prowess to be impressed by. All of that before we get into the high mountains for the Col d'Izoard and La Course by Le Tour de France. We also quickly cover some Canadian racing and talk about a couple of other news items from the week.

  • Sarah interviews... Marianne Vos, on healing, 2017 goals and her most memorable Giro moments

    12/07/2017 Duração: 31min

    Marianne Vos' life in cycling just keeps on as a roller coaster. After getting back on top, she broke her collarbone in June, and now is back racing the BeNe Ladies Tour. She told me how her recovery has gone, and what it was like, watching the team she owns, WM3 Procycling, win the OVO Energy Women's Tour, and struggle in the Giro. We also talked about some of her most memorable Giro Rosa moments, and what it's like to deal with some of the race's frustrations.

    10/07/2017 Duração: 01h00s

    The Giro Rosa has finished for 2017 but we're far from done with it. With great racing every day, it's perhaps best summed up by Neal Rogers talking about Lucinda Brand when he said: "Only thing more badass than “no one in the photo”? No one in the photo with blood trickling down your arm". Sarah and Dan recap the biggest stage race on the calendar and all of the highs and lows the second week of racing brought us. After that they continue with the overview on the Tour de Feminin in Poland before wrapping up with some quick results in other disciplines and a glimpse of the calendar ahead, and in 2018.
