Alex Dowsett - Bloody Minded: my life in Cycling...with TRE's Anna Glowinski
In this week's episode, Caley, Jonny, Kit, and Dane dissect Mark Cavendish's recent "retirement" from professional cycling and the unbroken kayfabe (the practice of pretending staged events are real) of his final "race."Then the crew explore the uncertain future of Astana, which faces potential relegation. The hosts discuss Astana's recent hiring of Alex Dowsett as their aero expert, noting a growing British influence within the team. This leads to speculation about whether Cavendish might join Astana in a non-riding role, further fueling the team's "British invasion."Plus! The ongoing controversy surrounding a spectator who threw beer on Eli Iserbyt during the Koppenbergcross race. Iserbyt is pursuing legal action against the individual, sparking a debate about appropriate fan behavior and the boundaries of sportsmanship. And the crew discuss the challenges teams face in nurturing young riders while also maximizing their competitive potential and preventing burnout.

Uten hemofili hadde han ikke vært der han er i dag, opplevd det han har opplevd, og oppnådd slike suksesser. Slik resonnerer Alex Dowsett, den tidligere profesjonelle syklisten fra England som i løpet av karrieren sin nådde det absolutte verdenselitenivået innen sin idrett. I dag jobber han med å motivere flere barn og unge med blødersykdom til å tørre å satse på idrett. I denne episoden av Blodig alvor tar vi en prat med fysioterapeut Kristoffer Vemøy etter å ha hørt på Alex Dowsetts inspirerende historie. Kristoffer deler sine tanker om flaks, risiko og valg av idrett for personer med blødersykdom. For er det en god idé å satse på proffidrett som bløder? Fysisk aktivitet er viktig for alle og enhver, men har du blødersykdom er det ekstra lurt at kroppen er både sterk og smidig. Vil du høre mer om trening med blødersykdom bør du lytte til epiosde 6 av Blodig alvor hvor fysioterapaut Marianne Berg ved Rikshospitalet forteller deg hvorfor nettopp aktivitet er viktig.

This week's Performance Process is the first in a series delving into how and why World Tour racing is getting so fast. Year after year we see average records increase and record times tumble.Alex Dowsett is our guest on this week's podcast. Alex is a former pro, former World Hour record holder, the only known elite professional sportsman with haemophilia, not to mention six time British National Time Trial champion, two time Giro stage winner, and YouTuber. Having been a pro for 12 years, it's safe to say Dowsett is well qualified to talk us through the advancements that have resulted in greatly increasing speeds. Dowsett kicks off the discussion on this topic with some direct insight into an accidental analysis he conducted on his own progression throughout his own pro career and how results in an event he has done since he was a kid correlate with the advancing World Tour peloton. Dowsett gives us a break down of some of the hows and whys. We will now take this list and begin a deep dive series looking into each in all our geeky detail.The Performance Process is a members-only podcast from Escape Collective. If you're not a member, you'll need to become one (insider or supporter level both apply – monthly or annual both apply) to listen to the full show.
This week Will and James are joined by Alex Dowsett, six-time British National TT champ, twice Giro d'Italia stage winner and one-time Hour record holder. And he did this all while competing with haemophilia.Now retired, Alex has just released his autobiography, Bloody Minded (Bloomsbury), a candid account that pulls no punches, either when assessing his own performance or telling it like it was, from crap components to dodgy team owners to going-it-alone for the Hour. Happily, he's up for discussing it all, and more, on this week's show.Interview starts at 4:20Alex founded his charity, Little Bleeders, in 2016, which supports young people with blood disorders to get into sport.

Utan hemofilin hade han inte varit där han är idag, upplevt det han upplevt och nått sådana framgångar. Så resonerar Alex Dowsett, den före detta proffscyklisten från England som under sin karriär tog sig till den absoluta världstoppen inom sin sport. I dag arbetar han med att få fler barn och unga med blödarsjuka att våga satsa på sport. Med i avsnittet är också fysioterapeuten Magnus Aspdahl, han resonerar kring hur man som förälder till ett blödarsjukt barn kan tänka kring val av sport. Musiken gjordes av AlexiAction. Vill du höra mer om Magnus och hans forskning kan du lyssna på avsnitt 12 av Blödigt värre. Vill du höra mer om träning kan du lyssna på avsnitt 6 som handlar om fotboll på elitnivå, eller avsnitt 20 som handlar om vad du behöver tänka på i din träning för att undvika allvarliga blödningar.
Todays guest is Chanel Harris, Chanel is Alex Dowsett partner and Anthony recently had Alex on the podcast to discuss his retirement from Pro cycling .. and go check that out if you haven't already. I wanted to interview Chanel to give us a deeper insight into what actually goes on in the background in a Pro-cyclists career and how they have built an incredible team, I guess you could call it "Chanel and Alex Inc." They dreamed of cracking the World Hour Record and against all the odds they got to the start line that day in Mexico. But the parts I most enjoyed about this conversation were the spots where we spoke about how parents get to be role models for their kids and that Chanel wants to show her little girl Juliet that big scary goals, physically pushing yourself and mental toughness are not something to shy away from.

Before retiring from cycling last year, Alex Dowsett was the only known elite sportsperson with haemophilia to compete in an able-bodied field. He's now setting his sights on the London Marathon to raise money for his charity, Little Bleeders (littlebleeders.com), and shares some inspiring lessons from his remarkable career.Co-hosts Rick and Ben also share the expert approved seven strength moves all runners need to do (see below for details)Dr Richard Blagrove is one of the foremost experts in strength and conditioning, having worked with some of the UK's top runners at St Mary's and Loughborough universities. So when Blagrove was asked, on Matthew Boyd's The Adaptive Zone podcast, what the seven best strength exercises are for runners, his answers are worth noting down. Here's what he said:1. A squat-type movement, such as a front squat or back squat.2. A hinge-hip movement pattern, such as a Romanian deadlift or a deadlift from the ground.3. A stepping movement pattern, such as a barbell or dumbbell step-up (try holding the dumbbell only in one hand to challenge your trunk).4. A lunge pattern, such as a split squat5. Loaded single leg calf-raise or a calf-press hold on a leg press.6. Pull-ups on a bar7. Standard press-upsFor a gold star, add in some deadbug exercises, which will recruit your hip flexors a little bit more. Do these exercises twice a week to see the benefits. If you struggle to fit in two whole workouts, consider doing 10-15 minutes a day, with the aim of accumulating the same amount of work per week as two full sessions.In terms of reps, for novices, Blagrove recommends 10-12. As you become more trained, you can vary the repetition ranges. For instance, you could try a more maximal block, where you go as low as 3 reps. And then work a bit more in the middle ground, between 5-10 reps.By the end of each exercise, aim to be on a perceived exertion level of about 8 out of 10. ‘That will tell me they've got maybe two or three repetitions in reserve, which is about right,' said Blagrove. ‘You're working hard but not to complete failure.'

Alex Dowsett has been a Marginal Gainer since he started riding with his dad on the roads of his hometown in England. He quickly became a time trialist and then pro, riding for a handful of teams and racking up more than a dozen wins before finally hanging up his wheels after the 2022 season. But the fact that Alex became a sportsman at all is a major win. You will not want to miss this great conversation with an amazing Marginal Gainer!

Nathan and Alex go on Alex's first Gravel ride.
Alex Dowsett is a recent retiree after a dozen years in cycling's professional ranks where he tallied 15 victories, including 2 in grand tours; Alex set the world hour record, owns two Commonwealth Games medals (gold and silver, since you asked), and probably has a dozen other accolades omitted here. He's a father, soon to be married to his fiance Chanel, and does tremendous work with the organization he created, Little Bleeders, helping young kids diagnosed with hemophilia. This conversation hits on all that and loads more. Check out Alex: www.instagram.com/alexdowsett www.littlebleeders.com And his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexDowsettOfficial

Matt Stephens and Alex Dowsett enjoy catching up in the neutral zone of this podcast, before getting down to brass tacks. With his incredible pro cycling career coming to an end with Israel Premier Tech, Alex reflects on how the time felt right to move on to the next chapter with lots of exciting media and business ventures to look forward to. With some great advice on how to use a power meter to best effect, and a deep-dive analysis of how he could outperform his teammates on time trials while pushing fewer watts, Alex is a firm believer in racing with your head, not your legs.
This time on Faster, I'm talking about the Hour Record. And I'm talking about it with a stellar group of guests, including current record-holders Ellen van Dijk and Victor Campenaerts, as well as former holders Joss Lowden, Molly Van Houweling and Alex Dowsett. The Hour is the simplest challenge in cycling – how far you can ride on a track, on your own, in one hour. There are no tactics, or teammates, just you and what you've got. And while it's simple, it has a reputation as just about the toughest thing you can subject yourself to on a bike. Even the great Eddy Merckx said it was the longest hour of his entire career, and that he'd suffered as never before. We look at what makes it so difficult – the challenges of pacing, and the unrelenting pressure of riding at full effort with no snatches of rest, no chances to move on the bike. There's the question of how you train for something so unique, something that only a tiny handful of riders have ever even attempted. And what can you learn from it – does the Hour make you a better rider back in the world of normal racing? We talk about failure too, because Hour attempts can and do go horribly wrong. What's it like to square up to something as black-and-white as the Hour and not quite make it? More than one of my guests tells me that a record attempt that fails is a much worse experience than one that succeeds, not just emotionally, but physically. It's the most important record in cycling, and it's a great way to kick off the second season of Faster. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
This week we are joined by professional cyclist, Alex Dowsett who was instrumental in Joe Skipper's lightning fast 3:16 180km bike split at Sub7Sub8. Alex talks about exactly what it was like to be part of the event, the last minute change to Joe Skipper and what exactly it takes to ride that fast for that long. We also discuss all the drama from WTCS Leeds, Sarah True's return to racing and the fact that someone is trying to break the Iron Cowboy's record of 101 Iron Distance triathlons.

Endurance News: Alistair Brownlee is out of the Pho3nix Sub7 Attempt due to injury! Joe Skipper joins Kristian Blummenfelt, Katrina Matthews and Nicola Spirig who will attempt to defy the impossible and break 7 hours and 8 hours for men and women respectively over the full distance. Joe's mentality is that no one, not even the dominant Norwegians and Kristian Blummenfelt is unbeatable. Dual Olympic champion and Sub7 aspirant Alistair Brownlee has been ruled out of the Pho3nix Sub7Sub8 Project, powered by Zwift due to a stress response in his hip that requires immediate treatment. Brownlee will be replaced by fellow Brit and PTO world number six Joe Skipper who takes his shot at making history against reigning Olympic and World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt on Sunday at the DEKRA Lausitzring in Senftenberg, Germany. It is a cruel blow for Brownlee, who along with MANA Group CEO and Pho3nix Foundation board member Chris McCormack was part of the initial team that developed the concept of delivering the first sub-7 hour full distance triathlon in late 2019. “We are extremely disappointed with the announcement, but when you are pushing your body to the limit like Alistair has been, it's a fine line,” said McCormack. ‘Alistair is a true professional and will be there to support Joe, who has been preparing for Ironman Nice at the end of June, so in good shape to take on the challenge.'' ‘It's not going to get easier with Joe', said Blummenfelt. ‘He has a better full distance resume and a higher world ranking than Alistair. I'm looking forward to the challenge.' “Honestly, I'm devastated, said Brownlee. ‘I was frustrated to miss St George, and now this. I'm gutted. I was so invested in the process and loved working with my team. This was the goal that stimulated me again in the sport, on par with the Olympics. I'll do what I can to support Joe.” Brownlee, who also missed the recent Ironman World Championships in Utah, will support Skipper by pacing him in the swim, and will also join the commentary team for the live broadcast on Sub7Sub8.com. Brownlee replaces Richard Varga on Skipper's team, with Jonny Brownlee also dropping out to be replaced by German national marathon champion Frank Schauer. Skipper retains the support of the bike pacemaking team led by Alex Dowsett, who is fresh off riding in the Giro d'Italia. Ironman Des Moines Course Swim This unique 2-loop swim course will take athletes counterclockwise in popular Grays Lake. Starting at the boat ramp, athletes will make their way to the bridge where spectators can get an up-close look at their athlete. Before starting lap 2, athletes will get out of the water, cross the peninsula and head back in the water. This 2-loop, spectator friendly swim course is a great way to kick off your race day. Bike The rolling hills of this 1-loop bike course will take athletes through some of Iowa's best sights. Athletes will head west through beautiful West Des Moines before hitting the rolling hills of Dallas County and famous bridges of Madison County. In the heart of the course, athletes will ride through Winterset, the birthplace of John Wayne, before heading back north to Des Moines. May the wind be at your back and sun on your face. 4079 ft of elevation gain. Run Athletes can expect an entertainment packed; 3-loop run course. After exiting T2, athletes will run around Grays Lake before heading downtown to the spectator packed Locust St where local restaurants, bars and parks will give the athletes tons of energy for their final leg of the race. Finish line will once again be in the heart of the entertainment district of downtown Des Moines: Court Ave. Music, lights, and the cheers of the crowd will give the athletes that final burst of adrenaline they crave.

Endurance News: Alistair Brownlee is out of the Pho3nix Sub7 Attempt due to injury! Joe Skipper joins Kristian Blummenfelt, Katrina Matthews and Nicola Spirig who will attempt to defy the impossible and break 7 hours and 8 hours for men and women respectively over the full distance. Joe's mentality is that no one, not even the dominant Norwegians and Kristian Blummenfelt is unbeatable. Dual Olympic champion and Sub7 aspirant Alistair Brownlee has been ruled out of the Pho3nix Sub7Sub8 Project, powered by Zwift due to a stress response in his hip that requires immediate treatment. Brownlee will be replaced by fellow Brit and PTO world number six Joe Skipper who takes his shot at making history against reigning Olympic and World Champion Kristian Blummenfelt on Sunday at the DEKRA Lausitzring in Senftenberg, Germany. It is a cruel blow for Brownlee, who along with MANA Group CEO and Pho3nix Foundation board member Chris McCormack was part of the initial team that developed the concept of delivering the first sub-7 hour full distance triathlon in late 2019. “We are extremely disappointed with the announcement, but when you are pushing your body to the limit like Alistair has been, it's a fine line,” said McCormack. ‘Alistair is a true professional and will be there to support Joe, who has been preparing for Ironman Nice at the end of June, so in good shape to take on the challenge.'' ‘It's not going to get easier with Joe', said Blummenfelt. ‘He has a better full distance resume and a higher world ranking than Alistair. I'm looking forward to the challenge.' “Honestly, I'm devastated, said Brownlee. ‘I was frustrated to miss St George, and now this. I'm gutted. I was so invested in the process and loved working with my team. This was the goal that stimulated me again in the sport, on par with the Olympics. I'll do what I can to support Joe.” Brownlee, who also missed the recent Ironman World Championships in Utah, will support Skipper by pacing him in the swim, and will also join the commentary team for the live broadcast on Sub7Sub8.com. Brownlee replaces Richard Varga on Skipper's team, with Jonny Brownlee also dropping out to be replaced by German national marathon champion Frank Schauer. Skipper retains the support of the bike pacemaking team led by Alex Dowsett, who is fresh off riding in the Giro d'Italia.

Alex Dowsett lyckades inte cykla längst i världen på en timma, men det betyder kanske inte att hans rekordförsök misslyckades? Vi pratar om varför. Vi kastar oss också över de mest spännande övergångarna inför 2022 och som vanligt massor av annat. Avsnittet presenteras i samarbete med Narr Chocolate!
In this episode, BikeRadar.com's senior technical writer, Simon Bromley, is joined by Dr Xavier Disley of AeroCoach to discuss Alex Dowsett's recent attempt at the men's Hour Record. They take an in-depth look at the equipment, physiology and logistics behind this latest attempt at the record, and discuss who might step up to have a go at it next. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
In this week's episode Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss Alex Dowsett's Hour record attempt. Dowsett held the record back in 2015, before Bradley Wiggins broke it, and he aimed to win it back from the current holder Victor Campenaerts in Mexico this week. He fell just short but he won a lot of admirers for raising awareness of haemophilia, a condition he has overcome to reach the top of his sport, and for putting together the team for his record attempt himself. What does his near-miss mean for the record and who will go for it next? In part two, we talk about the 2022 Giro d'Italia grande partenza in Hungary. Postponed from 2020 because of the pandemic, Budapest will finally host the start of the Giro next May and the three stages unveiled this week by the organisers look more promising than the original plans. With the Giro route being unveiled bit-by-bit over the course of a week has the race lost something without a 'big reveal'? And what else might Italy's grand tour have in store? Finally, Lionel talks about his weekend trip to Belgium to see the Koppenbergcross. We hear from 'cross legend Sven Nys to take the current temperature of the scene and the possibility of Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert returning later in the season.

Alex, a professional cyclist at Israel Start-Up Nation, previously broke the Hour Record on 2 May 2015 in Manchester, England.

The british national road race championships 2021 along with the criterium and Time trial will be held in Lincoln this year a bit out of schedule as well in October. Ineos Grenadiers will look to regain the Road Race title. While Ethan Hayter, Alex Dowsett and Dan Bigham will be the leading favourites for the time trial title.
This time on Faster, the Dr Hutch podcast, I'm talking to Joe Laverick and Alex Dowsett, and the question is how exactly a rider makes that difficult transition from under-23 (what used to be called “amateur”) to professional. Joe is a talented British U-23 rider based in Girona with the Hagens Berman Axeon team – probably the most successful development team in the world. Alex rode for the same team in 2010, before moving on to Sky, Movistar, Katusha-Alpecin and Israel Start-up Nation and winning, among other things, two stages of the Giro d'Italia and almost as many national time-trial championships as me. We look at the pressures on young riders, who have just two or three seasons to plot the biggest move of their whole careers. It's a transition that has been made all the harder as Covid ravages their racing programme, and by changing demands in the World Tour – as Alex puts it, “Directors aren't looking for under-23s anymore, they're looking for children. They all want to find the next Remco Evenepoel.” We discuss how to balance your own long-term development with the immediate need to attract attention, how you manage issues like body weight when you might be under pressure from coaches with a rather short-term view of your usefulness, and how you learn to not just ride like a pro, but live like a pro as well. (A base in Girona helps, apparently.) And we hear how the current scramble for young talent might have led a top-level team to sign a rider based entirely on the results from a dodgy power meter. --------------------------- If you liked this episode of Faster, please tell your friends about it.

Endnu en episode af Rytterjargon klar. Jeg rejste til Romandiet Rundt med mit grej og havde Alex Dowsett med ved mikrofonen. Det er blevet til en af de bedste episoder synes jeg selv. Alex har gode anekdoter og vi er gået i dybden om kunsten at køre en enkeltstart. Alex tager os med på rejsen op til hans 5. plads ved VM i Yorkshire. Hvor træningen blev specificeret og jagten på at finde det bedste udstyr blev sat ind. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Alex Dowsett is a British professional road racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Israel Start-Up Nation. He also happens to live with the rare disorder of Hemophilia. You know, that thing where if you get a paper cut you’ll bleed to death? Well… that’s a myth. Alex fills the boys in on all things Hemophilia and shares his fascinating story of following his passion in the sport of cycling and how he started the charitable foundation Little Bleeders. Not only do they raise awareness for Hemophilia, they also support young hemophiliacs to engage in physical activity! Meanwhile, Taylor tries his hardest not to fangirl the entire recording.
Kevin Poulton, coach to some of the best cyclists in the world including Caleb Ewan, Alex Dowsett and Matthew Hayman, has more than a few tricks up his sleeve. Lucky for other coaches, he's a total open book and more than happy to share his learnings and insight into the sport with anyone who cares to listen. Listen as Dirk and Kevin talk heat adaptation, carbohydrate manipulation and making serious VO2 gains from adherence to specific indoor trainer sessions.

In this week's episode we look at two high profile figures who are returning to old haunts. Mark Cavendish is going back to Deceuninck-Quick Step, the team with which he spent three successful seasons earlier in his career, while in an even more surprising move, his old mentor, Rod Ellingworth, is returning to Team Ineos after just a year in charge at Bahrain-McLaren. In a week full of major news stories, Lionel Birnie, Daniel Friebe and Richard Moore discuss the moves by Cavendish and Ellingworth, as well as Team Sunweb's rebranding as Team DSM for 2021. The new sponsorship took everybody by surprise but we hear from the man who did the deal, team boss Iwan Spekenbrink, as well as the team's veteran Irishman, Nicolas Roche. We also have an interview with Cherie Pridham, who will be the first female sports director at a World Tour team when she takes the reins at Israel Startup Nation, a team that in 2021 will include Chris Froome, Michael Woods and Sep Vanmarcke as well as Dan Martin and Alex Dowsett.

In this week's episode of the Cyclingnews podcast there's an exclusive interview with Daniel Martin from Israel Start-Up Nation while we also continue our WorldTour report cards with Ineos Grenadiers and ISN under the spotlight. Ineos won the Giro d'Italia with Tao Geoghegan Hart, bombed at the Tour de France and came second in the Vuelta a Espana. They won 19 races in total and obviously the standout ride was the Giro, where they bounced back from losing Geraint Thomas to win seven stages wins and the maglia rosa. They were well below their typical best at the Tour, were forced into late line-up changes before seeing Egan Bernal falter in the mountains. There was a stage win for Michal Kwiatkowski but in the build up to the Tour they were off the pace in races like the Dauphine and their Classics campaign was quiet, even by their standards. Over at Israel Start-Up Nation the team won two stages in Grand Tours, courtesy of Daniel Martin and Alex Dowsett. They had nine difference winners in fact, and took fourth overall in the Vuelta and while the caliber of their wins wasn't huge – only two were at WorldTour – the team showed signs of promise and progress. We analyse both teams' seasons, before Procycling's Edward Pickering, who used to be a teacher, hands out grades for each team. The Cyclingnews Podcast is brought to you by Sportful and Pinarello.

And Nathan Haas's pasta odyssey continues. Kilometre 0 by The Cycling Podcast is supported by Zwift, the app for riding, training and racing at home.
The Giro d’Italia had a transitional stage for the sprinters and we had a transitional podcast too, with Lionel Birnie joining Richard Moore to recap stage 11. With sprint finishes in Rimini and in Schoten at the Scheldeprijs, the question is, who’s the fastest? Arnaud Démare – who took his fourth stage victory of this Giro – or Caleb Ewan, who won in Belgium? We hear from Jacopo Guarnieri of Groupama-FDJ after another seamless leadout for Démare, and from Elia Viviani, who was knocked off by a motorbike, a moment of misfortune that sums up his season. We also hear from stage eight’s victor, Alex Dowsett, who has settled back into support duties for his Israel Start-Up Nation team, and from Atilla Valter, the Hungarian riding his first grand tour. With Daniel Friebe absent, no one was available to remind Lionel of the incident at last year’s Giro when they recorded an entire episode of the podcast only to discover that the recording equipment had been on the wrong setting, meaning they had to start from scratch, which in turn meant they missed out on a sumptuous dinner and had to settle for a rushed pizza. Oh, the memories! Tomorrow night we introduce the first of our guest co-hosts for The Grandest Tour, with former pro Ian Boswell picking up the mic.

In the latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast, we look back at the Giro d'Italia, Gent-Wevelgem and talk about where Mark Cavendish goes from here after he told the world that Gent-Wevelgem might be his final race. We also hear from Mads Pedersen, Jack Haig, and Alex Dowsett. We start with Mark Cavendish, who told reporters that Gent-Wevelgem could be his final race as pro rider. In emotional scenes, the British rider gave little else away but with his contract up and no confirmation of an extension at Bahrain McLaren could this be it for the sprinter who has won 30 stages of the Tour de France, Milan-San Remo, and many more races? Daniel Benson and Ed Pickering discuss the huge impact Cavendish has had on the sport, his major achievements, what he was like to interview, and how his personality and his fast finish went hand in hand. We also look back at the Giro d'Italia - before the latest COVID-19 results were announced – and analyse the finish in the men's edition Gent-Wevelgem. Coming up in the next edition of the podcast we have an exclusive interview with Elisa Longo Borghini from Trek Segafredo and preview the Vuelta a Espana.
(12.10.2020) Giro púta zvýšenú pozornosť aj počas prvého voľného dňa. Na programe je celoplošné COVID testovanie tímov. Po odstúpení Simona Yatesa pre pozitívny COVID test, budú výsledky testovania ešte zaujímavejšie. V šprintérskej bubline nič nové, tú momentálne tvorí iba Arnaud Démare. O niečo pestrejšie to je medzi jazdcami, ktorí sa sústredia na úniky. Alex Dowsett zabezpečil vôbec prvé víťazstvo pre Israel Start-Up Nation na Grand Tour podniku. A v útočnom móde zostávajú aj káčeri z EF Pro Cycling, tentoraz s úspešným Rubenom Guerreirom. Foto: facebook.com/giroditalia
#Giro2020 Etapa de guion desde la fuga, con mucha permisividad del pelotón, y en la cual Alex Dowsett reclamó la victoria. Primera para el Israel Star-Up Nation como equipo World Tour. Asimismo, nos animamos a hacer la previa del "Súper Domingo de Ciclismo" con etapa de alta montaña en el Giro, A través de Flandes y Paris Tours.
Hoewel de achtste etappe van de Giro 2020 niet de geschiedenisboeken gaat redden, valt er genoeg te bespreken door Jeroen Vanbelleghem, Jan Hermsen en Bobbie Traksel onder bezielende leiding van Sander Valentijn. Zo moest Simon Yates de Giro verlaten vanwege een positieve COVID-test en mag Tiesj Benoot morgen niet starten in Gent-Wevelgem omdat Jan Bakelants ook positief getest is. Maar het gaat natuurlijk ook gewoon over de etappe. Zoals de fête tussen Fugelsang en Nibali, de mooie overwinning van Alex Dowsett en hoe de rest van de kopgroep zich liet piepelen. Daarna gaat de blik op morgen, want naast de prachtige etappe naar Roccaraso wordt het een bomvolle dag met Gent-Wevelgem, Parijs-Tours, cyclocross in Gieten en een WK mountainbike. Dat alles in wat zeker geen geschiedenisloze aflevering is van Kop over Kop in de Giro. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

It's time trial day for Our Giro and we look back to the 2013 race and remember the day Alex Dowsett gave Great Britain a stage win they perhaps expected Bradley Wiggins to deliver. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe return refreshed after a virtual rest day with another packed episode. After two years with Team Sky, Dowsett switched to Movistar and the 2013 Giro gave him his first taste of grand tour racing. A tough opening week (is there any other sort at the Giro?) concluded with a 54.8-kilometre time trial. Bradley Wiggins, Team Sky's leader and the reigning Tour de France champion, was the pre-race favourite and the expectation was that he'd get a faltering Giro campaign back on track with a blistering ride against the clock. But Dowsett, one of the earlier starters, set a time that would prove to be untouchable – despite a few nervous moments watching in the hot seat. Hear how he and Movistar prepared for the stage and get under the skin of what it's really like on time trial day at the Giro. In this episode, there's also a Roman pasta cook-off, judged by Felicity Cloake. Are you Team Carbonara or Team Amatriciana? And what goes in an authentic carbonara. (Hint: not cream, ham or mushrooms). The Cycling Podcast is supported by iwoca and Science In Sport. COMING TOMORROW: We meet The Supertuscan, Max Sciandri, and talk about his journey from Derby to Tuscany via Los Angeles, his career as a rider, and what the Giro means to him.

In 2010, Richie Porte was a first-year professional and rode the Giro d'Italia for Saxo Bank. After a promising sixth place in the opening time trial in Amsterdam he spent the first half of the race comfortably inside the top ten. Then came the stage to L'Aquila, which had been hit by a terrible earthquake the previous year. A huge break got away and gained a lot of time. Porte was in it and ended the day in the pink jersey. We hear from Porte about that Giro and the stage to L'Aquila in particular. Join Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe for a rest day. There's no stage to ride but this episode features a look back at last year's rest day when Richard and Daniel were beseiged by cats seeking to steal their pre-podcast crisps, Lionel cooks the traditional Abruzzese lunch of arrosticini (lamb skewers) and Ciro Scognamiglio adds another rider to his Giro dream team.

On this week's episode of Breakfast with Boz, we hear from Rohan Dennis and Alex Dowsett on how they have mastered the race against the clock and learn how the discipline has changed over the years. Did you know Ian has beat both of them in a TT before? Tune in to hear how he beat the world's best.
Gruppettoen tager endnu en gang pulsen på den efterhånden amputerede cykelsport. Byriel er blevet bjergged i den virtuelle cykelverden, men har Alex Dowsett ret, når han siger, at e-cykling er lige så hårdt som en timerekord? Norsgaard benægter at være @trollcyclist på Instagram, men han indrømmer dog, at han er blevet lagt for had af enkelte feminister grundet et mandschauvinistisk opslag, hvor han har en uheldig hovedrolle. Hvad mener Gruppettoen om Froome vs. Quintana? Og hvad er Gruppettoens holdning til den manglende information til de kvindelige professionelle cykelryttere? Selvom der endnu en gang er skygge på Byriels terrasse i Ceres Byen, stopper det ikke Gruppettoen i at holde humøret højt og spytte ærlige holdninger ud. Medvirkende: Mathias Norsgaard Jørgensen (Movistar) og Rasmus Byriel Iversen (Lotto Soudal) Produceret af: Anders Mielke (Forhjulslir)
Alex Dowsett is a professional cyclist from Great Britain having competed in commonwealth game, national games, world game and broke the hour record.This episode we talk about competing at the highest level of sport with the condition haemophilia, life on tour, what it's like competing in high level cycling, breaking the hour record, national, commonwealth silverware and olympic goals.
As business returns to normal after the UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire, Matt Rowe, Greg Henderson, and Kristin Armstrong go over a crazy week of podcasting and cycling action. Just because the big week is over doesn’t mean this episode is any less packed. We chat about the juniors who truly stood out as well as how Mathieu van der Poel could have learned from Greg’s own experiences with bonking (detailed in the Alex Dowsett episode). Greg gets fired up about one particularly controversial moment in Yorkshire, and Kristin discusses having to follow Chloe Dygert's explosive TT win from the other side of the world.
PodCrash - Talk of Champions with Philip Hindes & Callum Skinner
“I like the purity of the time trial; the fastest guy wins” - Alex DowsettFresh from coming 5th in the World Championship Time Trials, professional cyclist Alex Dowsett joins Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes in the mobile PodCrash studio at the World Champs in Harrogate. A specialist in the Time Trial event and a pro cyclist for Team Katusha Alpecin, Dowsett has had a varied career in cycling so far. With stints at Team Sky and Movistar, he gives us an insight into his cycling career and how he also deals with having the rare blood condition, hemophilia, as an athlete.After the news (Skinner’s GB bike is still missing), Hindes and Skinner ask Dowsett about the preparation he undertook leading up to this latest Time Trial, where he explains his mindset of improving himself, as opposed to chasing the competition. Find out more about how this athlete splits races and builds his cycling strategy on power and feel.We talk about the confines of wearing and using a sponsor’s equipment, as well as the differences in culture, methodology and gear between Team Sky (now Ineos) and Movistar. Dowsett then explains how having hemophilia, a disorder that stops blood from clotting normally, has shaped his career. Having to stay away from sports like football and rugby, he started swimming, which set him up as a successful cyclist. Now an expert Time Trial racer, he explains more about administering his medication in front of other athletes and bringing awareness to the condition that affects only 1 in 5000 people in the UK. “The hemophilia put me here” - DowsettThen it’s onto the opportunities and mishaps of social media. He shares one of his most controversial tweets with us and gives his opinion on why being social media-savvy and ‘marketable’ shouldn’t be a factor in securing a cycling contract.We wrap up by asking him about the future of his current team, Team Katusha Alpecin, and whether or not Tokyo is on the cards...Show us the love by subscribing, rating and reviewing PodCrash.

Episode 3 dives into all the action of the first half of the World Championship week. With stellar guests in newly crowned TT World Champion Chloe Dygert, 5th place finisher in the men's TT Alex Dowsett and Bronze medalist in the Mixed Relay Dan Bigham, the hosts cover all events whilst also sharing a taste of the World Championships.
In this episode of The Cycling Podcast Richard Moore and Lionel Birnie are joined in Betty's tearooms by François Thomazeau to discuss the men’s elite time trial. The gold medal and rainbow jersey was won for the second year in a row by Australia’s Rohan Dennis, who pulled out of the Tour de France midway through, reportedly because he was dissatisfied with his team’s equipment and kit. We discuss what this means for Dennis and also weigh up the significance of Remco Evenepoel’s silver medal. A year ago he was a junior world champion, now he’s a runner-up at elite level. Plus, hear from Great Britain’s Alex Dowsett and learn about the UCI’s junior conference, where the stars of tomorrow learn about the future career that awaits them.

Team Sky. Movistar. Team Katusha-Alpecin. Top road racing teams all graced at one point or another by Alex Dowsett. He joins the hosts to chat about his early years in the pro scene as well as using Zwift to train ahead of the time trial event at the UCI Road World Championships in Yorkshire. All while sitting in a Glasgow bathtub before the Tour of Britain!

Eight days on the road covering the 2019 Tour of Britain, condensed into one, slightly longer than normal, Home Roads episode. I front the tv coverage of the race, but this special podcast has a look behind the scenes, featuring some of the people who make it happen. You'll also hear many of the famous riders who compete, gaining an insight into the ups and downs of the often precarious life as a pro-cyclist - plus one who is undoubtedly the rising star of the sport. Includes interviews with Mathieu van der Poel, Matteo Trentin, Mikel Landa, Mark Cavendish, Mark Renshaw, Bernie Eisel, Steve Cummings, Alex Dowsett, Yanto Barker, Conor Dunne and many more. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
The Tour de France is off and running and Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau are in the centre of Brussels to discuss the opening stage. The identity of the winning team was not a surprise but no one will have predicted Mike Teunissen would have ended the day in the yellow jersey. The Jumbo-Visma rider saved the day after his team’s sprinter Dylan Groenewegen crashed inside the final two kilometres. We discuss the unconventional sprint finish and here from Jumbo-Visma rider Amund Grondahl Jansen and sports director Grischa Niermann. There was also a crash for one of the pre-Tour favourites Jakob Fuglsang and we weigh up the likely impact of that before discussing the fall-out from Dimension Data’s decision not to select Mark Cavendish – or more to the point the differing accounts of how the team was picked from team owner Doug Ryder and sports director Rolf Aldag. In the final part there’s the first instalment of our new series Outside the Team Bus with Alex Dowsett. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.

Bent double, legs aching, lungs burning, knees knocking into your ribcage as you race against the clock: the Time Trial is cycling in its purest form. But what does it feel like to ride a professional TT and what's the science behind it? In 2015 Alex Dowsett broke track cycling's world hour record by 446 metres. He and Michael Hutchinson - who held the competition record for 10, 25, 30, 50 and 100 miles - join BeSpoke to reveal the finer details and find out why it's better to have hairy legs.
"Business as usual" is Alex Dowsett's verdict on this year's remarkable Giro D'Italia "People were like 'this is an epic Giro' and we're like is it? It's just hard". The Katusha Alpecin rider attracted an appreciative audience for his social media updates throughout the Italian race, and says he's going to carry on tweeting from inside the peloton. He also gives us his view on the controversial Stage 19. And staying with controversy, Rouleur's Stuart Clapp tries on Oakley's "upside-down" Flightjackets.

The Only Way is Essex is a tv show with a certain charm, at least to some, but to Alex Dowsett, the title is a motto to live by. Most other professional cyclists leave where they grew up to live and train in more predictable climates, but not Alex. Growing up with haemophilia (his blood doesn’t clot on its own) means his family is very close-knit, and despite living and racing all over the place, the county to the east of London remains home. Just before Alex switched professional teams, from Movistar to Katusha, we rode out of Chelmsford towards the Blue Egg cafe that he’s helped to make famous amongst cyclists.Find the route on Strava and see more on Instagram.

As Sam Bennett sprinted to his third Giro d’Italia stage win in Rome, Richard Moore and Daniel Friebe bowed out – but not without their own bit of drama. In this final episode of The Cycling Podcast from the Giro we hear from some of the main players over the past three, thrilling weeks, including Bennett, Svein Tuft, Domenico Pozzovivo, Mike Woods, Alex Dowsett, Davide Formolo and many others. There’s also a return of podcast favourites Ciro Scognamiglio, Renaat Schotte and even Lionel Birnie, as the team reviews one of the most dramatic Grand Tours in years. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.
The final mountain stage of the Giro d’Italia saw Mikel Nieve win on his birthday and Chris Froome increase his overall lead ahead of Sunday’s final, processional stage into Rome. Barring an accident, Froome will win his first Giro, to add to his four Tour de France titles and one Vuelta a Espana. Richard Moore and Daniel Friebe report from the ski resort that sits almost at the foot of the Matterhorn, though the podcast begins from Susa, where the 20th stage started. There, we hear reaction from Alex Dowsett, George Bennett and others to Froome’s extraordinary performance on Friday, when an 80km solo break turned the Giro on its head. There are also interviews with Simon Yates, whose dreams of winning were ended so cruelly the previous day, his teammate Svein Tuft and sports director Matt White. And there is reaction from Domenico Pozzovivo and Sebastien Reichenbach, whose team leader Thibaut Pinot suffered his own woes on Saturday. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.
The episode of The Cycling Podcast comes from the deepest countryside in Campania as Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe review stage eight of the Giro d’Italia, and another uphill finish. It was a fairly unremarkable stage but there were two very notable aspects to the final climb – firstly the attack by Richard Carapaz, the best young rider, who broke away to become the first from Ecuador to win a stage of one of cycling’s grand tours. We hear from our Spanish correspondent Fran Reyes about Carapaz. And Chris Froome’s luck refuses to turn – he fell on the slippery road approaching the finish. In this episode we learn more about Simon Yates, we take a detour to visit the so-called Zoncolan of the South, we try to coin a new nickname for Yates and we hear from Alex Dowsett about the dangerous, poorly-lit tunnels on the course towards the end of stage seven. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.
Kan Dion Beukeboom echt het werelduurrecord van Bradley Wiggins aanscherpen? Een modale Nederlandse wielrenner die records van internationale toppers als Alex Dowsett en Rohan Dennis verpulvert? Ja, dat kan volgens bewegingswetenschapper Jim van den Berg. Hoofdpersoon Beukeboom: “We zijn ook gewoon twee cowboys die het avontuur aangaan.” In aflevering vier van Cassette gaat Beukeboom tot in detail in op zijn poging het uurrecord van 54,526 kilometer te verlengen. Over Jan van Hout (de eerste Nederlandse werelduurrecordhouder), Bradley Wiggins, de ideale lijn, aerodynamica en het mentale aspect van een poging die meer is dan een uur lomp rammen.
We welcome back Xavier Disley. Xavier has appeared before as an expert in the field of performance analysis and aerodynamic efficiency. He is based in Birmingham, UK, and is the Director of AeroCoach LTD, as well as working with RST Sport and World Tour Teams. He specializes in pacing and race analysis as well as kinematics & exercise physiology. Xavier is especially adept at analysis and I thought it would be insightful to get his thoughts on the recent hour records of Alex Dowsett and Brad Wiggins. You can find Xavier at www.rstsport.com and www.aero-coach.co.uk/. Be sure to follow Xavier on Twitter @xavierdisley. You can contact me @markflorence11 and ttpodcast@yahoo.com.
We welcome back Michael Hutchinson, Michael is a champion time trialist in his own right, and he has attempted cycling’s hour record twice. His first attempt was eloquently chronicled in his book, The Hour, and his most recent work, Faster, the Obsession, Science and Luck behind the World’s Fastest Cyclists is a template for all levels of cyclists who strive to go Faster. Michael is again kind enough to join us to discuss the most recent hour attempt of Alex Dowsett, and to preview the much anticipated attempt of Sir Bradley Wiggins. Be sure to follow Michael on twitter @Doctor_Hutch and his twitter feed will be the perfect compliment to watching Brad Wiggins make history, or not.....Thanks for downloading the show, contact me at ttpodcast@yahoo.com and follow me on twitter @markflorence11.
This week on the show we’ll wrap up the Tours of Romandie and Turkey, hail the new world hour record holder, Alex Dowsett, and with the Giro d'Italia looming we’ll put our money where our mouths are as we preview the race.
Interview with Alex about how his 2013 season went. His targets for 2014. The Blue Egg Cafe and his business venture.
