So, Donald Trump is back in the White House - and while America has decided, the sporting world remains divided... As the World Cup, Ryder Cup, Olympics and more descend on the US over the next four years, what impact will Trump's Presidency have on global sport? Is he on a collision course with the International Olympic Committee over transgender ban? Will FIFA's powers grow thanks to Gianni Infantino's ‘great friend'? How would he fix golf in 15 minutes? Investigations reporter for The Telegraph Ben Rumsby & Amnesty International's Steve Cockburn join Gabby & Mark to discuss... Later, following Mark Cavendish's retirement, close friend and ex-Team GB teammate, Adam Blythe, joins us to discuss Cav's incredible comeback story and cycling legacy. Plus, The Sports Agents reflect on *that* David Coote video and the potential ramifications for Howard Webb and the PGMOL. 00:00-08:40 - David Coote's rant08:42- 28:13 - Trump's impact on sport28:15-47:55 - Mark Cavendish legacy48:05- 52:08 - Your sporting howlersExecutive Producer: Adonis PratsidesProducer: Sophie PenneyVideo Producer: Sam TrudgillSocial Media Editor: Calum ScotlandTom Hughes is Editor for The News Agents podcast networkVicky Etchells is the Commissioning Editor for GlobalYou can listen to this episode on Alexa - just say "Alexa, ask Global Player to play The Sports Agents".And, the Sports Agents now have merch!

Matt also reflects on Tadej Pogačar's scintillating performance, considering him to be the strongest rider he's ever seen. Roll on 2025.

Matt Stephens chats to two-times British Road champion Ben Swift about his impressively long career, which has just been extended for another two years with INEOS Grenadiers. Having ridden with the team since the inception of Sky Procycling, Ben has seen the sport change exponentially in recent years, and claims he enjoys the thrill of racing now more than ever and continues to develop as a rider in his mid thirties. In a podcast packed with stories about teammates Adam Blythe and Geraint Thomas, Ben reflects on how his true idols are the heroes that taught him to ride on his local chain gang in Yorkshire.

Matt Stephens is at the 2023 Tour de France, digesting the racing and sharing his thoughts from behind the scenes. With VIP access to all of the riders, and his Eurosport GCN colleagues, you might think this podcast is full of gripping interviews and hot takes on the Jonas Vingegaard / Tadej Pogačar rivalry.... But, Matt's more interested in chatting about high altitude curry with Adam Blythe, discussing Haribo strategy with Alberto Contador, and figuring out how to interview riders without knowing if they've won the sprint or not with Laura Meseguer!
Life in the Peloton is proudly supported by Rapha This week on Talking Luft I'm chatting with an old friend and teammate of mine – he is a former UK national champ, he has ridden for some of the world's biggest teams, and – I'm calling it – he's the new voice of cycling. I'm talking about Adam Blythe and I can't wait to put him through the full Talking Luft treatment! I have always admired his crafty racing style and his ability to read a bike race, and when the conditions got tough, he was someone I would always look for because you could bet, he would be reading the conditions and riding smart. It's a result of having mastered the art of race craft early on, and his insights have really translated well to the commentary box. He's unapologetic about his approach, and about his love of picking apart a race and calling out even the biggest names in cycling when they're guilty of making questionable tactical decisions – and I just love that about him and his race commentary. He's also renowned for his retro style and some of these TL questions that I have put to so many riders now are right up his alley, so I can't wait to get stuck into it. I put a few of the more important Talking Luft themes to him – he's gravel bike for life, loves plenty of Luft, has strong feelings on all matters of cycling style, and confirms once and for all that, like it or not, the short leg length trend is back in the pro peloton. I hope you enjoy listening along as much as I enjoyed putting this one together! Cheers, Mitch

This is our XL Tour de France preview with Lionel Birnie, Daniel Friebe and François Thomazeau – a bumper episode looking ahead to the race, which starts on Saturday. A few days before the grand départ, as the team line-ups and new jerseys are unveiled we look ahead to see what's in store at the biggest race in the world. It's shaping up to be a clash between defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar – who have won the last three editions between them – but is there more to the race for the yellow jersey than that? We weigh up the sprinters and the relatively few opportunities for them to shine and ask the big question – can Mark Cavendish win his 35th stage and claim the outright record? Our Tour de France logo this year features the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and the silhouette of the Puy de Dôme, which the Tour will visit for the first time in 35 years. We also hear from Mitch Docker, Ian Boswell and Richard Abraham, who will be joining the podcast team at various points through the Tour. The Cycling Podcast's daily coverage starts on Saturday evening, after stage one, but we are continuing our build-up by kicking off our Kilometre 0 series early. To mark the 10th anniversary of The Cycling Podcast we have created a mini series for Friends of the Podcast called The 100th Tour, 10 years On. It's the story of the 2013 Tour as told by the podcast and it will be released daily as we build up to the start of this year's race in Bilbao. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

On Saturday the Giro d'Italia rolls out of Pescara on the Adriatic coast and, as ever, The Cycling Podcast will be there to document every stage, every polemica and every violation of the sacred codes of Italian gastronomy. In this episode, Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard present our comprehensive preview of the first Grand Tour of 2023: who is riding, where the race is going and – if you'll indulge our uncharacteristic speculation – who is likely to be in pink when the peloton arrives in Rome. We hear, too, from our sometime Italian historical and cultural guru, John Foot, about the state of Il Bel Paese in 2023. There are also interviews with one of the men masterminding Remco Evenepoel's Giro bid, Soudal-Quickstep coach Vasilis Anastopoulos, and the journalist who, whatever happens on the road, will, as ever, be the undisputed crowd favourite of the next month, Ciro Scognamiglio of La Gazzetta dello Sport.

In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, deputy editor Jack Luke sits down with former pro-cyclist-turned-presenter, Adam Blythe.Blythe is famously unafraid to air his opinions on tech, notably singling out Aqua Blue Sport's decision to race on 3T's 1x-specific Strada bikes as a key reason for his former team's downfall in 2018. Following the recent release of the new 3T Strada ICR – which is available in a 2x configuration – We asked Adam whether he thought 1x will ever offer a competitive advantage.Blythe also comes from a generation where riders were able to customize bikes to suit their riding, and by extension, personalities. In the podcast, Blythe bemoans the homogeneity of the modern peloton and highlights who he thinks are today's most stylish riders on and off the bike. Finally, we hear his personal view on the UCI tech rules today. Blythe shares his thought on whether he thinks 1x will ever offer a competitive advantage, the homogeneous aesthetic of tech in the pro peloton today (and why he thinks that's a bad thing), who he thinks is the most stylish rider on and off the bike, and his thoughts on UCI tech rules. · Read more about the 3T Strada ICR: https://www.bikeradar.com/news/3t-strada-icr/· Watch BikeRadar's Gravel Diaries: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?app=desktop&list=PLhX4qGpWXV9vU_zmhOJyAABezN_22dy0B Hosted on Acast.

The boys and special guest Adam Blythe discuss one of Fraser's faded cult classics, Airheads. A movie that features our boy Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi, Chris Farely, and Joe Mantegna; but for some reason you can only find on Comedy Central at 11pm once a month.
Pretty much every movie past the year 2009 has been criminal activity for John. We brought our good friend Adam Blythe who was able to remember this movie better than Jeff and Stuart. Remember Dan Stevens from that live action remake of Beauty in the Beast? He's in this.
The lads can't understand why it took 61 episodes to get Adam Blythe on, but he was worth the wait. The former pro turned exceptional Eurosport pundit - and king of cycling fashion - joined G and Luke to talk about his career, life on the British Cycling academy, coping with retirement and so much more. Enjoy the latest Watts Occurring, presented by Zwift.
Adam Blythe has been building a reputation for his informed commentary - and his inventive dress sense - since his retirement two years ago. He'll be at Rouleur Live next month, using his insider knowledge to interview stars of road racing past and present. Also there will be Imogen Cotter. She rides online for Movistar's E-racing team but she's proved her ability in the real world by winning the national road championship in her native Ireland.

In the latest edition of the Bradley Wiggins Show, Graham Willgoss and our knight of the realm are joined by Eurosport commentator and former rider Adam Blythe.The team discuss the brutal climbs of Monte Zoncolan that made for a fascinating Stage 14 of the 2021 Giro d'Italia, Wiggins saying that it is so harsh that things happen in "slow motion."There was also praise for pink jersey wearer Egan Bernal, who Wiggins said is looking "every inch a Giro winner" after another very impressive display. Wiggins also doubled down on saying that Ineos Grenadiers are favourites to win all three Grand Tours with Bernal looking strong for the Giro and Vuelta as well as having both Geraint Thomas and Tao Geoghegan Hart at the Tour de France. Blythe pointed out that Ineos are "packed full of people who can win a Grand Tour" with Richard Carapaz and Richie Porte, as well as Adam Yates, Luke Rowe and Tom Pidcock.Lastly, the team discuss the issues going on at Deceuninck - Quick-Step and there is sympathy for the situation that Joao Almeida currently finds himself in.

In this episode I talk to Jenny Hagemann, Co-Founder, and Co-Owner of Thousand Acre Cider House. Jenny was introduced to the quest for finding and tasting great ciders back in 2015, and as cider continued to resurge in popularity, a lingering idea to open a cider focused tasting room became hard-pressed. Jenny was no stranger to the startup business world, she led a decade long career in startup sales strategy and brand development. Leaving the hustle and bustle of Seattle for the subdued untapped cider scene in Bellingham, she puts her own skills and knowledge to the test to build a business and a brand from the ground up. Now, less than a year into launching their startup, she and her husband and business partner, James, face the impacts of COVID-19 head-on. In this episode we discuss how to adapt in the midst of a crisis and how to handle unexpected turns on the trails less traveled.Plugs:Learn more about Thousand Acre Cider House at thousandacreciderhouse.comFollow @thousandacreciderhouseLearn more about this podcast at thetrailslesstraveled.comFollow @tltpodcastCredits:Hosted by Jacob BassettRecorded, Mixed, and Produced by Jacob BassettLogo by Jessica MuchaMusic by Adam Blythe (@adamblythe)Recorded in Bellingham, WA.
In this episode, I get to talk to Jesse Nelson, Co-Founder & Owner of Overflow Taps. Their founding principle was to create a social good business that inspires their vision that everyone deserves access to clean drinking water. Through a variety of partnerships and programs, a portion of every pint you buy at Overflow is donated to charities that provide access to clean drinking water in developing countries. I loved learning more about the people behind this social good business and how this idea came to be. Jesse and his business partner Adam were introduced as strangers, but they would soon realize they shared a dream of starting a business and began crafting the concept of Overflow Taps. In this podcast we learn a little about the trail that got Jesse to this point, serving our country in the U.S. Navy, then working many years as a corrections officer, he began to wonder what it would be like not to work for someone else. His wife encouraged him to explore what was important to him and before long, he runs into Adam, and Overflow Taps is born. Now over 4 years in, and facing the existential threat of the global COVID-19 pandemic, small businesses everywhere are being severely impacted, Jesse and Adam’s included. Jesse talks about what it takes to lead in times of crisis, how to pivot and make efficient executive decisions, and how to adapt to turns on the trails less traveled.Plugs:Learn more about Overflow Taps at overflowtaps.comFollow @overflowtapsLearn more about this podcast at thetrailslesstraveled.comFollow @tltpodcastCredits:Hosted by Jacob BassettRecorded, Mixed, and Produced by Jacob BassettLogo by Jessica MuchaMusic by Adam Blythe (@adamblythe)Recorded in Bellingham, WA.

British Cycling has dominated the sport - especially on the track - for more than a decade - but at what cost? That's the central question in a new book “The Medal Factory” by one of the country's most experienced cycling journalists - Kenny Pryde. On this podcast, Kenny talks through the extraordinary transformation of British Cycling from its underfunded, amateur past to its world beating, gold medal and Grand Tour winning present. The success has come with controversy - the Jiffy bag, allegations of bullying and the complex relationship between the lottery-funded national national squads and the commercial Team Sky. And how much longer can this golden streak last?Plus, Rouleur's Desire Editor Stuart Clapp goes starry-eyed over Colnago's new gravel bike and explains why Adam Blythe has been helping him recover from pneumonia.

Adam Blythe rode for some of the biggest teams in racing over his ten-year professional career – Tinkoff, BMC, Orica-Greenedge and Lotto Soudal – but it was his year with British squad NFTO that proved most fruitful and fun, including his win at RideLondon in 2014.Adam joins our own Stuart Clapp and host Ian Parkinson on the sofa at the Rouleur Classic to talk through past, present and future, the troubled state of domestic UK racing, being a TV pundit, and racing with a hangover. His advice? Don't do it, kids. Desire editor Stu, meanwhile, has been razzing around the Peckham BMX track on his Brompton, has a new bike to wax lyrical about (it's a gravel bike, don't @ him), and does an impression of Mark Cavendish that is actually better than Mark Cavendish.

Former British national champion Adam Blythe joined us for two of our live shows – at London's Arts Theatre and the Royal Northern College of Music in Manchester – and in this episode he speaks about the decision to retire from professional racing at the age of just 30. Blythe talks about the moment he made the decision to retire and, having hosted a series of interviews for The Cycling Podcast in the spring, now sees opportunities in the media having also appeared on Eurosport's grand tour coverage. We also have an extract from our first Friends of the Podcast special episode of 2020 – which tells the story of stage 19 of the Tour de France, when a hailstorm and landslide halted the race. We hear from Egan Bernal, who took the yellow jersey that day. There's also a clip from our live show featuring Richard reading an entry from our new book The Grand Tour Diaries, also telling the story of the Tour's dramatic 19th stage.

PodCrash - Talk of Champions with Philip Hindes & Callum Skinner
Welcome to a special on-the-road episode of PodCrash! Live en route to Wrexham (yep, they did it), PodCrash hosts Philip Hindes and Callum Skinner are joined by pro tour riders Baby Girl (Chris Lawless), Adam Blythe and Owain Doull on this 73k cycle.The guys discuss feedback from Chris Lawless’ appearance on PodCrash (actual quote: “That guy should never be allowed to speak in public”) and the plan for the day over pies and pints at their first pub stop. With the British National Road Championships held the day before, the guys discuss their disappointing race day experience. Although considered a premier event, they faced a number of challenges on the day, from the lack of coverage and signage being placed the wrong way (which saw one large group heading into the town and having to do a U-turn mid race), to traffic on the route. As one rider points out, it was “an absolute shambles”.Find out their thoughts on the results and their solutions for the future of the British cycling scene. You’ll also discover more about team tactics, the points system and even some current conspiracy theories floating around British cycling. Hold onto your hats; it’s a controversial one.Then, one massive vent out of the way, 73km cycled and 8 hours later, the athletes (minus Blythe) return for part two to share their highlights of the day. Crashes, wrong turns and non-existant bike shops; this one’s not to be missed.Show us the love by subscribing, rating and reviewing PodCrash.

This episode is a twist on The Cycling Podcast's occasional Lunch With... series. Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie met up with Adam Blythe during the London Six-Day at the Olympic velodrome and although they did have lunch the podcast was recorded once all the plates had been cleared away. The former British national champion is still only 29 but has packed a lot into his nine-year pro career. He'd baulk at being described as a product of the British Cycling academy because he left fairly shortly after joining and headed to Belgium to try to make his way as a pro. He learned how to make a living from racing while living with another former British champion, Tim Harris, and his partner Joscelin Ryan and got his first taste of life in the professional ranks with the Silence-Lotto squad. Since then he's raced for some of the biggest teams in the world – BMC Racing, Orica-GreenEdge and Tinkoff – but has also dropped out of the World Tour twice. He can count Philippe Gilbert, Peter Sagan and Alberto Contador as former team-mates. Most recently he has ridden for the Irish Aqua Blue Sport team that folded suddenly mid-season, but he will return to Lotto-Soudal, where he started his career, in 2019. In this candid conversation, Blythe talks about to survive as a pro.
