Podcast appearances and mentions of andre greipel

In episode 95, I chat with one of the authorities of sprinting at the top level, Greg Henderson. Greg has raced 17 grand tours and 5 Olympic games and worked closely with Andre Greipel, Mark Cavendish and other world-class sprinters. He is known for his race IQ and now operates as a director sportif in his post-racing career. Greg and I sat down to discuss the current state of play for sprinters in the world tour. Where has this booming sprint field come from? What's changed in the modern lead-outs? And who is the fastest sprinter of the current crop of fast men in the men's peloton? We also touch on Kiwi rising stars Laurence Pithie and Ally Wollaston and get Greg's take on where they can go in their careers. - - - WIN 4x BIKERAKZ Ezi-folds!

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by Rapha Well, it is Tour time, and I´m taking this opportunity to look at one of the most fascinating technical aspects of pro racing – the art of the lead-out. And what better time to do it than right now, at the beginning of the Tour de France, so you can sit back and watch the adrenaline-charged sprint finishes, with a deeper understanding of the game of chess that is playing out on the road.   The idea of the designated lead-out man is something that has only really gained traction in the pro peloton in the modern era, and in that time, we have seen some incredibly talented lead-out riders, that put aside their own winning aspirations and built their careers on leading out others for the win. I spoke to some of the biggest names in the game – Mark Renshaw, Michael Morkov, Brett Lancaster, Koen de Kort, Roger Kluge, and Freddie Rodriguez. They have worked with some of the most successful sprinters of the modern era – Mark Cavendish, Robbie McEwen, Andre Greipel, and Alessandro Petacchi, to name just a few.   The depth of experience with the riders in this episode is exceptional, and I wanted to find out how they had become lead-out riders, what the evolution was like, from trying to win races themselves, to suddenly finding themselves leading out others for the win. It was interesting to hear about how quickly this change can happen and about the necessity of finding your niche in the peloton which is so important to the longevity of your career.   The lead out is a role where you don´t get the big accolades, and you don´t get to stand on the top step yourself, but you can get plenty of recognition and job satisfaction for playing an important role in winning big races, and that was something that really came across for all of these riders - how accepting your role in the team and leaning into it, can become even more satisfying than vying for smaller wins yourself.   I wanted to ask some big questions: when you find yourself in the lead with 200m to go, how tempting is it to go for the win yourself, and why does a sprinter even need a lead-out? There were some fascinating insights into the split-second decisions, the adrenaline rush, the importance of trusting your lead out, calculating risks, and learning to switch off your mind in order to get the job done, the sacrifices that are made when you ride in service of another rider that gets the glory of winning, and what is it like working with these typically very explosive personalities.   I had a lot of fun putting this episode together and I loved hearing about the intricacies of the lead-out, and I hope you get plenty out of it to take into your TDF watching this year!   Cheers,   Mitch      

In der Nähe vom Kölner Zoo steht auch der Besenwagen hinter großen Fensterscheiben. Zu Besuch ist André Greipel. Ein Exemplar, dass verschiedene Evolutionsstufen durchlaufen hat. Angefangen als gazellenhafter Jugendfahrer, der Deutscher Bergmeister wurde, bevor er sich zum Gorilla entwickelte. Mit den Fäusten auf der Brust trommelnd, bejubelte er 158 Siege in seiner Profilaufbahn. Im fortgeschrittenen Alter, entfernte sich der Silberrücken von seinem Peloton und zeigte Anzeichen zu einer amphibischen Lebensform zu degenerieren, schloss sich dann aber wieder der Familie der Trainingstiere an. Heute sieht man ihn außer im Besenwagen, auch im Führungsfahrzeug von Rund um Köln und in freier Wildbahn kann man den Gorilla bei gutem Wetter fast immer in seinem Revier um die Rampe Berrenrath beobachten.

  Rapha presents Talking Luft!   Well, it's the first episode of Talking Luft for the year, and I've got something a little bit different for you first up! We've kicked off with a recap of our live daily pods from last week's TDU, as presented at the Rapha pop-up in the race village.   At Tour Down Under, I presented a live daily wrap-up of all the race action, in The Race Communique with my friend and Sports Director Tom Southam. We also chatted with a few special guests, including the legend himself Phil Liggett and caught up with my old mate Matt Goss.   I hope you have a few laughs and enjoy listening along to all the TDU action as much as I enjoyed recording these. And a heads up – don't miss Phil's phantom Paris-Roubaix call, where I make it to the finish in a three-up sprint against Luke Durbridge and Tom Boonen and get to live out my dream of winning the Hell of the North.   I want to say a big thanks to all of you out there for getting back on board with Life in the Peloton and Talking Luft this year! It's great to be back, and I can't wait to bring all our ideas to life for all of you listening along out there in 2023. Thanks for all the feedback so far, and most importantly for wearing your LITP caps with lots of Luft!   Cheers,   Mitch Listen Listen & subscribe to this series of the Life in the Peloton website, at Spotify, Apple Podcasts, GooglePlay, Stitcher, Youtube or your favourite pod app.  Show Notes Listen to the Rat to Radelaide episode here. . . .

It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4's coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show. I grew up watching those highlights and the music became part of my childhood. When I set out to create Life in the Peloton I knew that theme song was what would set the scene and capture the essence of Life in the Peloton. Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete's widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton. To hear more about the music, listen to the Andre Greipel episode of Life in the Peloton.

Rapha presents Talking Luft! Well it's the last episode of Talking Luft for the year, and I've got veteran of the peloton and actually one of my first ever podcast guests from way back in 2016 back on the pod. I'm chatting with Welshman from Team Ineos, Luke Rowe. We sat down while he was in Australia for the Worlds, and got talking all the good stuff – kit, caps, mullets, the best of riders and teams, roommates on race, coffee stops, the good and bad of racing, plus a whole lot more. It was great to hear more about what makes Rowey tick. I hope you enjoy the chat. I want to say a big thanks to all of you out there for listening this year, for sending in your feedback, for getting involved with Life in the Peloton and most importantly for wearing your LITP caps with lots of Luft! It's been fantastic to speak to so many diverse guests this year, to have a laugh and I hope you've enjoyed this season as much as I have recording it.

Rapha presents Life in the Peloton! Well, here we are, it's the last pod of the year and I've got a bumper one for you! As you'll know the UCI World Road Race Championships were held in Australia this year, and I made the 1,250km trip from my home in Lancefield, near Melbourne, to the race in Wollongong by bike, and I documented the trip for the pod.  I gave myself five days for the trip, which meant I was doing big days on the bike, but without any ridiculous pressure, and it turned out to be an amazing pilgrimage through my own backyard here in Australia.   Australia is a huge country that I've been away from for my whole career. I'd never ridden this route before, so I based my plans around staying and visiting some well-known pub stops and trying to catch up with other cyclists and friends, and anyone else I could find to have a cleansing ale and a chin wag with along the way.  Sure, the riding got hard at times, but it really was an incredible experience to meet so many people, soak up the culture, and discover communities in Australia that I've never had the chance to meet before.  I've got so many of these amazing characters on the pod, from keen cyclists to landlords wondering what the mad guy in pink lycra was doing in their pub! I spoke to locals who were bike racers, and to locals who had no idea what the Cycling World Championships were, let alone who Wout Van Aert was. Overall it was an amazing experience. I had a blast in Australia, and I learned a lot about local cycling cultures and everything else along the way. I loved the time on the bike, both alone and with the company I picked up on the route, and I hope that comes across in the pod.  I also hope that it can even inspire you guys to go and plan a trip yourselves. Remember, it doesn't need to be epic or for the fastest known time, it can be whatever you want; just get out there and do your own fun trips; have fun on the bike, visit some pubs (of course), meet great people and get out and ride! I want to say a big thanks to everyone who met me out on the road, gave me a tow, a beer or stopped to chat. Thanks to Tim, Gene, Pykey, Neil, Tom, Jordan, Chris and Stu, Tas, Ryan, Avie, Matilda, Lila and Lou, Kelly, Tom, Hans & Malia, Ben, Jay & Randy, Greg, Jamie, Murray, Shane, Kev & Erin, Gavin, Sam & Talia, Dave, Dan, Chris, Kirk, Tom, Sinna, Frano & the whole Rapha Cycle Club peloton. This is the last Life in the Peloton episode for 2022, as we take a break for the cycling off season and get ready for another great podcast season next year.

You all know my love for Paris Roubaix, and in that sense I have some cycling royalty on the pod for you this week. Chatting with none other than the man who conquered this year's Hell of the North, Paris Roubaix winner, Dylan Van Baarle. I was keen to hear a bit about Dylan and what makes him tick on and off the bike so I sat down with him while he was in Australia for the UCI Road Worlds and got Talking Luft! Pro kit style, Oreo rice cakes, coffee shop stops, his favourite seat on the bus, the riders who inspire him, best & worst roommates, Netflix on race and a whole lot more! This was a bit of fun. Enjoy this listen and stay tuned next week for my final LITP episode of the season, On Road with me to the Worlds.

Rapha presents Talking Luft! This week I've got Aussie former professional cyclist, and commentator Simon Gerrans on Talking Luft – brother to Andy Gerrans, Pro team Osteopath, who I had on the podcast last week talking about life as a staff member on a World Tour team. For those not familiar with Simon, he had a hugely successful 14 year career – winning stages in all 3 Grand Tours as well as wearing the Yellow Jersey at the Tour de France and taking out multiple one day classics such a Liège-Bastogne-Liège and Milan-San Remo. Simon's no stranger to the podcast, I had him on for an in-depth chat about his career way back in 2017, when he was in his 13th year pro. Head back and listen to that to hear more about Simon. But for now, we're Talking Luft. We chat caps & where Luft originated from. We get into the serious stuff like shaving legs post retirement, old team kit, Gravel bikes, the atmosphere at Amstel Gold Race, cyclocross racers, Fassa Bortolo kit, a Vuelta war story, the epic 2006 Tour de France and so much more! Gerro's so easy to chat to, and always has a great story to tell. I hope you love the listen as much as I did. Stay tuned next week for an episode dedicated to the art of breakaway – the Breakaway Theory with Taco Van der Hoorn, Steve Cummings, Ben Healy and Tim DeClercq.

Rapha presents Talking Luft! If you loved last week's episode with the king of gravel, Colin Strickland, you're gonna love this week's Talking Luft! Colin is an American fixed-gear bike racer turned gravel racer, and as you would have heard last week, an all round awesome guy. In his spare time he fixes up Diesel engines and has started his own garage renovating 1950s Spartan Travel trailers, even working with his coveralls thrown over his kit sometimes! After hearing his story last week, I knew it would be a lot of fun to talk some luft with Colin. And it didn't disappoint. We chat the lack of luft in the gravel scene, the early days racing in old pro kit & no shirts, an epic at Oregon gravel, the best of pros, bikes, coffee and spirits. And so much more! It was just a great chat, with so many fun stories thrown in there. I know you'll love the listen as much as I did recording. Enjoy! And stay tuned next week for my episode with Columbian Pro cyclist at Team EF Education EasyPost Esteban Chaves.

Foi uma barrigada de ciclismo que vivemos na semana passada com a cereja no topo de bolo a ser a excelente Volta ao Algarve que coroou pela segunda vez Remco Evenepoel. Em França voltamos a ter uma exibição de Nairo Quintana ao ser melhor nível, fazendo relembrar os bons velhos tempos, e em Espanha a vitória de Wout Poels na Volta à Andaluzia, que ficou também marcado por uma Astana que meteu os pés pelas mãos. As dores de cabeça voltaram a afetar o mundo da Quickstep por conta da escolha do sprinter para o Tour. Várias vozes, nomeadamente Andre Greipel, vão levantando a voz a defender a presença de Mark Cavendish na Grande Boucle, mas por agora é Fabio Jakobsen que está nos planos. E com as clássicas a aproximarem-se veio a excelente notícia da Flandres Classics que vai igualar o prize Money entre o Tour de Flandres masculino e feminino.

Nach zwei Pandemie bedingten Absagen gehen die Organisatoren mit dem Rheinischen Klassiker „Rund um Köln“ mit vollem Optimismus ins Jahr 2022. Man hofft, dass das Rennen ohne große Einschränkungen am 22. Mai durchgeführt werden kann. Neben der Streckenvorstellung war bei einer Pressekonferenz im Historischen Rathaus in Bergisch Gladbach auch die zukünftige organisatorische und sportliche Ausrichtung der Veranstaltung ein Thema. Mit Ex-Profi André Greipel wurde auch der neue sportliche Leiter des Rennens vorgestellt, das bereits zum 104. Mal ausgetragen wird. Windkante sprach bei dieser Gelegenheit mit Markus Frisch, Geschäftsführer der Köln Marathon Veranstaltungs- und Werbe GmbH, Artur Tabat, Präsident des Vereins Cölner Straßenfahrer und ehemaliger Organisator des Rennens, dem neuen Sportlichen Leiter André Greipel, Streckenplaner Werner Schneider, Reporterlegende Herbert Watterott und Tobias Kelter dem Geschäftsführer der Naturarena Bergisches Land. Neben Rund um Köln spielt der MTB Weltcup im Mai in Albstadt auf der Schwäbischen Alp und die Albstadt MTB Classic eine entscheidende Rolle. Zum Stand der Organisation, den wichtigsten Erneuerungen und über die dringend benötigten Helfer sprechen wir mit Stephan Salscheider von der Organisation www.skyder.de.

Sie haben es schon wieder getan: Weil Robert Müller so viele Geschichten und Anekdoten aus seinem Radsportler Leben zu erzählen hat, gibt es auch dieses Mal eine Doppelepisode.Nach dem Race Around Niederösterreich, dem Race Across The Alps und seinem Sieg beim Ultracycling Dolomitica, der nicht mal durch Hirsche und Rehe zu verhindern war, nimmt uns Robert dieses Mal mit zur Tour du Faso nach Afrika.Das ist gleichzeitig auch die Rückkehr in sein eigentliches Metier, nämlich zu Rundfahrten, bevorzugt in exotischen Ländern. Robert ist als Gastfahrer des Schweizer Elite Teams Kibag-Obor-CKT maßgeblich daran beteiligt, dass sein Teamkollege Daniel Bichlmann nach 10 Etappen schlußendlich das Gelbe Trikot ins Ziel bringt. Der Weg dorthin war aber nicht einfach: Verspätete Busfahrer, spärliche Unterkünfte und schlechte Straßen gehören zur Tagesordnung.Robert erzählt in dieser Episode aber auch von der Tour de Stations, von unabsichtlichen Sprinterfolgen gegen Marcel Kittel und Andre Greipel und von seinen Zukunftsplänen. Wenn euch unser Podcast gefällt, freuen wir uns über Bewertungen auf Spotify.

Andre Greipel the Gorilla is retiring. He shall surely be missed.

Na despedida de 2021 falamos também de quem se despede do pelotão internacional. Uma lista pesada encabeçada por últimos campeões do mundo como Anna van der Breggen e Tony Martin e outros grandes nomes do ciclismo internacional como Andre Greipel, Daniel Martin ou Kirsten Wild. Mas a nível nacional temos dois grandes nomes a pendurarem a bicicleta: Sérgio Paulinho e Gustavo Cesar Veloso, que mereceram uma atenção especial da nossa parte.

In Folge 94 hat Rick seinen Teamkollegen und guten Freund Andre Greipel eingeladen. Niemand war so oft bei Plan Z zu Gast wie er. In diesem Jahr hat Andre seine Karriere beendet. Zusammen blicken sie nochmal auf eine tolle Zeit zurück. Außerdem schauen sie auch in die Zukunft, was steht nun an? Wie geht es weiter? Hat Andre all das überhaupt schon verarbeitet? Eine spannende Folge in der es sich Rick nicht nehmen lässt, Andre ein besonderes Geschenk zu machen. Nachdem Geschenk sollte ein Sprung ins neue Leben kein Problem mehr sein.

Die 33. Extra-Ausgabe der „Windkante“ ist die bislang längste Episode die wir veröffentlicht haben. Alles dreht sich diesmal um den ehemaligen Radprofi Andre Greipel. Er hatte im Herbst 2021 seine aktive Radsportkarriere beendet. In seinem Buch „Aus dem Windschatten: Wie ich den Radsport lieben und das Siegen lernte“ blickt er auf seine erfolgreiche Karriere zurück. Immer wieder gibt Andre Greipel Lesungen, wie zuletzt in Meerbusch. Die Windkante war „unplugged“ dabei.

Bobby Julich and Jens Voigt catch up with the man who was seemingly destined for the pro peloton the moment he rode his dad's shoulders on the Le Tour podium - Rick Zabel He reveals how he learned to live with the pressure of his famous name, what he learned from his former roommate Andre Greipel and how he plans to tackle the 2022 season. This episode is presented by Zwift for Velonews and Shocked Giraffe. It was produced by Mark Payne and edited by Tim Mossa.

Matt Stephens talks to Andre Greipel about how he came to the decision to retire when the buzz of victory started to wane, and how cycling will always be a huge part of his life, whether he has a number on his back or not. Nicknamed “The Gorilla” for his immense presence and power on the bike, Greipel sprinted to victory a massive 22 times at the Grand Tours. And perhaps just like the name suggests, this gentle giant admits he has always treated others how he would like to be treated, himself. But what was his favourite ever victory? What will he get up to now he's retired from racing? And does he have plans to visit Miniland in his hometown of Rostock? - Tune in to find out the answers to these all-important questions!

So, this is it, retirement. Or, to put it another way, the longest off-season of my life. I've ridden my final race and in a few short weeks I will be officially retired from the professional peloton. When I made the decision that this would be my final season as a rider, I wanted to prepare myself for what comes next. And so, over the course of the year, as my mindset has changed and I've got closer to my final race, I spoke to some friends and former teammates about what to expect. In this episode, I speak to eight people who have all adjusted to retirement – some very recently, such as Tejay van Garderen, some longer ago like David Millar. Brett Lancaster, Andreas Klier and Robert Wagner have all stayed in the sport in some way, whereas Dom Rollin has gone in a completely different direction. I also speak to Grace Elvin and my good buddy Svein Tuft about the ups and downs of no longer being a pro athlete. What's it like to no longer be the best at something? How do we adjust to regular life? What can those who have gone before me tell me that can help me prepare for my own retirement? This is the final episode of Life in the Peloton for 2021. I hope you've enjoyed our season of shows. Thank you for all your support and kind comments and I'll see you on the road. I'm really looking forward to finding out what life outside the peloton has in store...

In den letzten Wochen haben gleich zwei der ganz großen Stars des Radsports ihre Memoiren in Buchform veröffentlicht. Tim hat an der Autobiographie von André Greipel, dem an Siegen gemessen erfolgreichsten deutschen Rennradfahrer, mitgewirkt. Kurz davor war schon Marcel Kittel in den Buchhandel gerast, sein Werk "Das Gespürt für den Augenblick" schrieb er zusammen mit Stephan Klemm. Nun haben sich Tim und Stephan verabredet, um über das Schreiben von Sportlerbiographien einen Talk zu wagen.

So, this is it, my final race as a professional cyclist. When I announced I'd be retiring at the end of this season I didn't know what my last race would be, but then fate stepped in. Paris-Roubaix – a race I've truly loved over the years, was rescheduled from its usual April spot to an end-of-season Sunday in October. It seemed fitting to ride this brutal race to close my career. It's been quite a journey to get here, especially after fracturing my elbow in a crash at the Benelux Tour in early September. With so many high-calibre Classics riders in our team I wasn't guaranteed a start. It was touch-and-go whether I'd be on the start line in Compiègne for the Hell of the North and there were even moments in my final preparation race when I had my doubts. This episode tells the story of my final week as a professional cyclist. Join me along the way as I get ready for the race with my current teammates – Tom Scully, Michael Valgren and Stefan Bisseger, catch up with some of my best friends in the peloton, Bert de Backer, Luke Durbridge, Sam Bewley, Jack Bauer and Mathew Hayman, followed by the aftermath of one of the legendary wet editions of Paris-Roubaix. I've always said I wanted to do at least one wet Paris-Roubaix before I retired but as the rain fell on the morning of the race and everyone retreated into their own thoughts I began to have second thoughts. I won't spoil how the race turned out – you'll have to listen for that – but as one of my old teammates said, very few people in sport get to bow out with a fairytale finish. Having said that, the way my Paris-Roubaix ended turned out to be the perfect send-off. I've loved my professional career but I've learned this year that when it's time, you know it's time. I hope you enjoy this episode – thank you for all the support whether you were there cheering in the rain or watching at home.

My guest on Life in the Peloton this week is one of the most experience riders in the women's peloton, Hannah Barnes. After turning pro with United Healthcare in 2014, Hannah has ridden for Canyon-SRAM for the past six seasons and is set to move on to the new Uno-X team next year. In 2015 she won a stage of the Women's Tour in 2015. She's also a Giro stage winner and has finished top six in both Gent-Wevelgem and Liège-Bastogne-Liège. It was great to speak to Hannah about her career, life in the women's peloton and the ups and downs of being a pro rider. I hope you enjoy listening.

Bobby Julich and Jens Voigt find out what the future holds for Andre Greipel as he brings the curtain down on his legendary career.  The man known as The Gorilla shares his thoughts on the emergent stars of the peloton and reveals who he thinks will win the 2021 World Championships Bobby and Jens, presented by Zwift, is a Velonews production in association with Shocked Giraffe. This episode was produced by Mark Payne and edited by Tim Mossa.

Life in the Peloton is back after the Vuelta a España and for this episode I spoke to two young Kiwi champions who are going to have very big futures. If you don't know the name Fisher-Black yet, I reckon you're going to hear it a lot in the coming months and years. Niamh and Finn Fisher-Black are brother and sister who are both racing at World Tour level. Niamh is 21 and in her first year with the SD Worx team after a couple of seasons with Bigla Pro Cycling. This season she was ninth overall at the Giro and won the best young rider classification. Her younger brother Finn is still only 19 and he started the season with the Jumbo-Visma development team. As you'll hear, he was starting to be integrated in the senior Jumbo-Visma team and he rode the Baloise Belgium Tour for them in June, finishing fourth overall in a race won by Remco Evenepoel. That turned out to be his final race for Jumbo-Visma because in July he made a mid-season switch to UAE-Team Emirates. I wanted to find out more about Niamh and Finn and listening to them speak about their journeys into the pro ranks from New Zealand reminded me of the commitment it takes to move to the other side of the road and try to make it in the sport.

In this episode, I caught up with multiple South African champion Ashleigh Moolman Pasio. We talked about her route into professional cycling, her QOM Strava record on the famous Rocacorba climb near Girona, and the challenge she set herself to get the best women's time below 30 minutes. Then, in the final part, we talked about the women's road race at the Tokyo Olympics. It was a very surprising race from a tactical point of view and I wanted to hear Ashleigh's account of how it played out. I found her insight into all the different factors at play really interesting, and I hope you do too.

It's a bit of a different episode of Life in the Peloton this week because instead of chatting to someone in the world of professional cycling, I decided to document a bikepacking ride I went on a few weeks ago. As many of you will know, my team – EF Education-Nippo – has embraced all sorts of cycling events in the past couple of years. You might have followed Lachlan Morton's Alternative Tour de France, for example. My adventure in Sweden came about partly thanks to our team's helmet and glasses sponsor POC. They heard I was interested in taking on a different sort of challenge and they suggested an self-supported event that takes riders the length of Sweden. It's called the Sverigetempot, a road ride of more than 2,000 kilometres from Riksgränsen in the north to Smygehuk in the south. I joined up with Magnus and Damien for the ride, which took us seven days, and I documented the journey along the way, so I hope you enjoy listening to our adventures.

Life in the Peloton is back with a chat with my teammate Magnus Cort Nielsen, who talks through his journey from growing up on one of Denmark's islands to winning stages in the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España. Magnus had another great Tour, finishing strongly with a top ten in the time trial on the final Saturday of the race, and that was a stage I was able to witness in the flesh. It was great to join The Cycling Podcast for the final week of their Tour coverage because it gave me a chance to see what life is like outside the peloton and on the other side of the fence, so to speak. I learned a lot about what goes on at the grand tours outside our riders' bubble and I have to say covering the race was a lot more tiring than I thought it would be. I really enjoyed my week and hopefully it's something I'll get the chance to do again soon. I'll be returning to racing myself soon as I head towards the final events of my pro career. Next time out on Life in the Peloton I'll be sharing my thoughts on a recent bikepacking ride I did in Sweden before I headed to France to join Richard and François. But before all that, though, sit back and enjoy my conversation with Magnus.

For this episode of Life in the Peloton, I chatted to Simon Mottram, who founded Rapha back in 2004. I was really interested to hear what drove him to start the company and particularly his comment that Rapha is not a clothing company, it's a cycling company.Simon's passion for cycling shines through and it's fair to say that Rapha has changed the way we think about style on the bike. As you probably know my team, EF Education-Nippo, wears Rapha kit and so I wanted to find out more about the man who puts the jerseys on our backs.Cheers,MitchLife in the Peloton playlistKeep in touch with Life in the PelotonKeep up to date with everything that's going on with Life in the Peloton at my website lifeinthepeloton.comLife in the Peloton shopCheck out my range of Life in the Peloton merchandise on our Etsy store too, from beanies and caps to embroidered tees, logo tees and much more.

Life in the Peloton is back after taking a break while the Giro d'Italia was on, which gave me a chance to sit down with someone I've wanted to get on the podcast for a long time.Tsgabu Grmay rides for my old team, now called Team Bike Exchange, and he's racing his tenth season in the pro peloton. He was born and brought up in the Tigray region of Ethiopia and comes from a sporty family. I was really interested to hear the story of how he got into cycling and made it to the Tour de France, which has ridden three times and completed twice. But I was most inspired by his goal-setting and his attitude to getting the most out of himself.But as inspirational as I found talking to Tsgabu, it wasn't quite enough to persuade me to reconsider the big decision I announced a few weeks ago. I've decided this will be my final season and, all being well, I'll end my pro career at Paris-Roubaix in October. It's time to find out what life has in store for me outside the peloton...Don't worry, though, there's still plenty more podcasts to come, and I hope you enjoy this one.Cheers,MitchPhoto by Kristof Ramon @KristofRamon.Life in the Peloton 2020 playlistKeep in touch with Life in the PelotonKeep up to date with everything that’s going on with Life in the Peloton at my website lifeinthepeloton.comLife in the Peloton shopCheck out my range of Life in the Peloton merchandise on our Etsy store too, from beanies and caps to embroidered tees, logo tees and much more.

The first grand tour of the season, the Giro d'Italia, is just around the corner so I wanted to speak to Dr Kevin Sprouse about his role as a team doctor at one of the great stage races.Kevin is my team doctor at the EF Education-Nippo team and he's part of the medical team that looks after the riders all season round.For this podcast I wanted to ask him about how the doctors look after the riders during a three-week stage race like the Giro. There are crashes, injuries, illness and other ailments that need treating on the road and sometimes on the move.I wanted to know how he helps the riders stay healthy or remain in the race when they have a problem. From fuelling and making sure the body is ready for the day ahead to the importance of sleep to treating the common problems that riders face during a race we covered a lot of ground.I learn a lot every time I speak to Kevin, especially because he explains everything in a way that it easy to take on board, so I hope you guys all find it as interesting as I did.Cheers,MitchSPONSORThis episode is sponsored by the mental wellbeing app Calm.

It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4’s coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show. Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete’s widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton.

This week's guest is a young man who has made a big splash in his first couple of months racing in the World Tour.I knew the name Tom Pidcock because he's been racing on the coat tails of Mathieu van der Poel and Wout van Aert in cyclo-cross for a couple of winters now, but I'd never actually met him or spoken to him before.But when I got a message to say Tom would love to come on the podcast I was really keen to find out more about a man whose reputation preceded him.We've all seen how well he's fitted in right at the top level in some of the Classics this season. Third place in Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne, fifth at Strade Bianche and right up there in Milan-Sanremo are results that pretty much anyone would be happy with but Tom is a 21-year-old neo pro.I must admit I probably had a preconceived idea of what Tom would be like. I thought his swagger off the bike would match his swagger on it. He's a confident guy, no doubt, but he was also really down to earth and a pleasure to chat to so I hope you all enjoy finding out a bit more about him.

The cobbled Classics in Belgium are such an exciting time of year and it's become a tradition for me to check in with my good buddy Luke Durbridge to talk about what makes these races so special.Luke is up in Belgium at the moment and has been riding all the Classics that lead up to the big one on Sunday – the Tour of Flanders – and Paris-Roubaix just over the border in France a week later.In this episode, we talk about how the races each have a character of their own and how the Grand Prix E3 is very different to Gent-Wevelgem. We talk positioning, fuelling and how to bounce back from a disappointing day as we answer some of your questions.I hope it gives everyone a bit of insight into what these unique races are like to ride.Until next time,MitchThis episode is supported by Jaybird headphones.

Robbie McEwen doesn't do many podcasts so I was really happy when he said yes to coming on Life in the Peloton.As one of the best sprinters of his generation – a generation that overlapped with the likes of Mario Cipollini, Erik Zabel, Thor Hushovd, Tom Boonen and Alessandro Petacchi – Robbie won 12 stages of the Tour de France. He also won the green jersey three times.Now retired, Robbie has stayed connected with the sport because he is Matt Keenan's co-commentator at the Tour de France and viewers in Australia and round the world hear his insight and analysis every day in July.For this podcast, I wanted to tap into that knowledge and experience of racing. We talked about sprinting and the difference between the sprint trains and the riders who made their through the final kilometres with perhaps only one or two teammates to help, relying on their own instincts to get to the front, as Robbie did. Robbie talked about tactics, about how the sprinters can save effort at crucial times, how to ride in the crosswinds and also about the unwritten rules which govern the peloton.I really enjoyed hearing the perspective of one of the best in the business and I hope you do too.Until next time,MitchLife in the Peloton 2020 playlistKeep in touch with Life in the PelotonKeep up to date with everything that’s going on with Life in the Peloton at my website lifeinthepeloton.comLife in the Peloton shopCheck out my range of Life in the Peloton merchandise on our Etsy store too, from beanies and caps to embroidered tees, logo tees and much more.

Sebastian Weber has been at the forefront of helping endurance athletes to figure out how to dial in their training to be dialed in to their unique energy systems needs and demands. Sebastian led a group of scientists to detect the maximum glycolytic performance (VLamax, aka maximum rate of lactate production). Since then, Sebastian has been helping endurance athletes such as Peter Sagan, Andre Greipel, Tony Martin, and Jan Frodeno, as well as amateurs from around the world, to dominate their fields. In todays episode Sebastian talks about: -Why FTP is not the end all be-all for determining your training levels (although it IS important!) -Strength Training after riding -How energy systems affect your training results and more! https://www.inscyd.com/inscyd-history https://science-cycling.org/sebastian-weber/ --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/menachem-brodie/support
