Podcasts about balint hamvas

Last week, we received a comment from a listener saying we were too negative and that maybe we should stop coming to Belgium. This comment sparked an interesting conversation between Maghalie and David about keeping it real, and showing all sides of a quest for performance. Maghalie and David open up about the many things they actually do love about racing in Belgium, and they talk about why it has been important to them to talk about the more "negative" and difficult parts of the journey. Later, we have snippets from people who have marked our career: Christian and Hilde from the Hof Ter Kammen (our first hosts, the first year we stayed in Belgium), and Balint Hamvas a photographer with whom we worked for years and who retired a few years ago. We also briefly discuss the Hoogerheide World cup, and talk about the last preparations before Worlds.

Balint Hamvas is one of the mainstays on the cyclocross photographing scene. You may know him under his Instagram name @cyclephotos, or for his famous Cyclocross Books that he does after each season. Maghalie sat down with Balint to look back to a 13 year career in the sport. We chat about how the sport evolved and how he was able to make a career for himself. He shares with us his process of making the books and how he finds the stories to put in the book. We discuss about ways he kept the pursuit interesting for him -- like how he started to ride to all the events to diminish his ecological footprint, how he invented a cycling related board game, and how he's challenging himself to learn new things. Finally, Balint shares a big news about what is next for him.

Edwige Pitel competed at the world road race championship in Innsbruck for France. She has been racing for 15 years, including at the Athens Olympics in 2004, and was French road race champion in 2016.  She was 49 then and is 51 now — and still riding at the highest level. She also works as a computer engineer and manages her season with care, not racing week in, week out but selecting her targets and regularly beating women half her age. In this episode of Kilometre 0 we hear her remarkable story. Thank you to Balint Hamvas (@cyclephotos) for providing the photograph for this episode.

Sunday | Our mini series from the cyclo-cross World Championships concludes with coverage of the men’s elite race from Valkenburg. Lionel Birnie is joined by cyclo-cross experts Renaat Schotte and Balint Hamvas to discuss Wout Van Aert’s third consecutive title, and a victory that, while not a surprise, had not been expected. We discuss what went so right for Van Aert and what went so wrong for Mathieu Van der Poel, the home favourite who looked at one stage to be slipping outside the medal positions. 
We also talk to Brook Watts, the man who founded Cross Vegas in Las Vegas about what makes the perfect cyclo-cross course and the differences between the sport in Europe and on the other side of the Atlantic.

Saturday | In this episode of The Cyclo-Cross Podcast in association with Mudiiita, Lionel Birnie is joined by cyclo-cross experts Renaat Schotte and Balint Hamvas to discuss the first day's racing at the World Championships in Valkenburg. The mud was the big story of the day, and it meant for worthy winners in all three races. There was a British double from Evie Richards in the women's under-23 race and Ben Tulett in the junior men's event. But everything was building towards the women's elite race which saw Belgium's Sanne Cant repeat her victory of 12 months ago to retain her rainbow jersey. In this episode we hear from the three riders who finished on the podium – Cant, Katie Compton and Lucinda Brand – plus Richards and Tulett. With the winter Olympics due to start in South Korea shortly we ask whether it's time for the IOC to admit cyclo-cross for the winter games, and Lionel makes a joke about Toon Aerts' fan club.

This week's episode of The Cycling Podcast is the debut episode of The Cyclo-Cross Podcast. As thoughts and mud-encrusted wheels turn towards the World Championships in Valkenburg at the weekend, The Cycling Podcast kicks off its comprehensive coverage of the races for the rainbow jersey with an extended preview episode.  Unexpectedly enthused by his trip to Scheldecross before Christmas, former agnostic Daniel Friebe and 'cross experts Balint Hamvas and Renaat Schotte reconvene to ponder some of the key narratives that will play out in the Netherlands. On the men’s side, can anyone break or even challenge home hero Mathieu van der Poel’s season-long domination? As well as our 'cross connoisseurs, Renaat and Balint, we canvass the opinions of leading journalists and people-in-the-know. We then turn our focus to the women and their longer-odds favourite, Sanne Cant. One of the leading contenders to beat Cant, Nikki Brammeier, is also the queen bee of our ‘cross partners Mudiiita. In the podcast, Nikki reports back from a course recce in Valkenburg and reassess her own chances accordingly. After this amuse-bouche, Lionel Birnie - who else? - will be on the ground in Valkenburg and serving up three more substantial 'cross helpings later in the week.
