Podcast appearances and mentions of Brian Cookson

With GC Kuss edging ever closer to Madrid and Jumbo-Visma's Grand Tour Grand Slam now inevitable, these are RadioCycling's latest headlines...As Jumbo-Visma end their tactical Vuelta skelter, we ask whether the Dutch team is the greatest of all time and whether it can maintain its supremacy. We also hear from former UCI president Brian Cookson, who assesses whether that dominance is good for the sport and why salary and budget caps aren't the solution to the perennial issue of big-money teams lording it over their rivals.This week's heart scare for Jumbo-Visma's Nathan Van Hooydonck was followed by the news that Cofidis's Wesley Kreder had suffered a similar issue two weeks ago. We looks at the details of both cases, the science behind heart issues in endurance athletes and the shadow that Covid continues to cast over the peloton.NCL – boom or bust? The National Cycling League was launched to a fanfare of hype, with celebrity backers like NBA star Kevin  Durant and a million dollar prize purse. Hailed as a future for cycling, it's quickly hit the skids, with races scrapped, venues changed and riders laid off.  We get the inside line of what's gone wrong and why from Escape Collective's editor Caley Fretz.And we have the transfer latest... including big name signings for Israel-PremierTech and, it almost goes without saying, Lidl-Trek, news of a new Brit in the WorldTour, as well as the return of the Vinokourov name to the pro peloton. Plus, there's an update on arrivals at Ineos Grenadiers...  Support the show

This time, I'm talking to Dan Bigham. Dan is probably the only person who can stand right in the centre of the Venn diagram of cycling science and tech where literally everything – including riding – overlaps. As a rider he's a world championship medallist and a national time trial champion, and he's also an aerodynamicist, engineer and manufacturer. He was the engineering brains behind the Huub Wattbike track-pursuit team – the four housemates from Derby who took on the national squads at the track World Cups, and caused them such embarrassment that the UCI apparently changed the rules to stop them. His meticulous approach started with aerodynamics, “I reckon I'm about 30-40 watts more aero than most of the people I'm competing against,” he says. And while aerodynamics is still at the centre of what he does, he's moved on to improving drivetrains, handlebars and other hardware, and moved on again to optimising time trial pacing strategies and team time trial tactics. He tells me how he tries to balance his various roles and interests, and admits that as a rider there have been points where he's almost given up training because the gains in speed he was making from engineering were dwarfing the gains he could make from spending the time out on his bike. We also hear from Canyon SRAM director Beth Duryea about Dan's role in her team's win in the world team time trial championships in 2018. And from Brian Cookson OBE, the former president of the UCI about how the sport's law makers try to balance the technical innovations of people like Dan with the long-term interests of the sport.

The man with more hats than, well, Johnny Two Hats.Covering such luminary subjects as Brian Cookson's ‘Tree of the Day' and what he actually DID as head of the UCI, the supply of goods in the bike industry (Spoiler alert, stock up when you can!) and all those niggly tech questions mechanics and cycling fans shout at the telly when they watch a race on Eurosport and (phew) an exciting new European venture for bike mechanics, this pod will be the first of several with Mark, who I'm sure you'll agree is a very engaging and brilliantly knowledgeable guest.Enjoy the pod and peruse the links below;Mark's ‘day job' velometier.com/frHis side hustle fesi-sport.org/His former Bond villain lair workshop domain uci.org/And you can check out Brian Cookson's Tree of the Day here twitter.com/BrianCooksonOBEClick to view: show page on Awesound

Brian Cookson is the former president of British Cycling, helping to oversee the miraculous transformation of the sport to become Team GB's most successful Olympic sport. Brian also loves trees and posts a daily Tree of the Day photograph on Twitter.

So what does it mean when a person claims to be clean and about to clean up cycling, having spent their life with closes eyes, ears and nostrils. Capital Sports discuss just what did Brian Cookson know and do, what advice he gave and how his hands are not quite as clean as he makes out. And lots of sports stuff too including the murder-mystery of Ballybrack FC.

The December episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, with Orla Chennaoui and Richard Moore, focuses on some of the sponsors who back women's teams. We hear from Erwin Janssen, of the Dolmans Landscaping Group, who co-sponsors the world's top team, Boels-Dolmans, which includes such stars as Anna van der Breggen, Lizzie Deignan and Megan Guarnier. Janssen tells Orla why they support a women's team, and what they get out of it.  Richard has a report from the WNT team's get-together in Germany, where he spoke to several team members, including the promising young German rider Lin Teutenberg, the latest member of the Teutenberg cycling dynasty – her aunt is Ina-Yoko, who once dominated women's racing, and her father is Lars, a former pro who is now performance director at Peter Sagan's team, Bora-Hansgrohe. In the final episode of 2017 there's also an interview with Brian Cookson, the former UCI president who is aiming to launch a women's team in 2019.  The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Rapha and Science in Sport  Become a Friend of The Cycling Podcast to access a range of feature-length, documentary style episodes on https://thecyclingpodcast.com #procycling #UCIWWT

And they send their biggest journalistic heavyweight to conduct the first media interview of deposed UCI president Brian Cookson.

¡Vigesimotercer programa de El Maillot Semanal! Los últimos coletazos de la temporada llegan con la disputa de los Campeonatos del Mundo. Desde el pasado domingo y hasta el día 24, los ciclistas se han dado cita en la localidad noruega de Bergen. Varios son los corredores y corredoras, provenientes de las distintas categorías (júnior, sub23 y élite), que ya se han enfundado el preciado maillot arcoíris tras una lucha intensa contra el crono. Entre ellos, Tom Dumoulin. El vigente campeón del Giro de Italia se colgó la medalla de oro en una contrarreloj aderazada por la ascensión final al Monte Floyen (3,4 km. al 9,1%), una subida que sirvió para que Primoz Roglic y Chris Froome completasen el podio final. El resto de pruebas de fondo se llevarán a cabo desde el viernes. Además, el mercado de fichajes continúa activo, al tiempo que otras escuadras como la Fundación Euskadi o el nuevo Polartec-Kometa han confirmado su presencia en el circuito Continental la próxima campaña. Finalmente, el francés David Lappartient sucederá a Brian Cookson como presidente de la Unión Ciclista Internacional (UCI) después de imponerse al británico (37-8) en la votación celebrada en el 186º Congreso de dicho organismo, donde también se ha presentado el calendario definitivo para la siguiente temporada. Dirección llevada a cabo por Juan M. Clavijo. Comentarios de César Cortes (Bemancio, en YouTube).

Brian Cookson has been President of the International Cycling Union (UCI) UCI since 2013. Seeking a second four-year term in office, the Englishman faces a vote at the UCI Congress on 21st September. In a wide-ranging discussion, Cookson discusses the key battleground areas between his campaign and that of his election opponent, David Lappartient, and reviews the milestone moments of this presidency thus far, including: - restoring the integrity of cycling - re-establishing relations with WADA - Undertaking and enacting the recommendations of the Cycling Independent Reform Commission - introducing the women's WorldTour We also touch on: - international federations as regulators naturally opposed to monopolies and the UCI's relationship with Tour de France organiser ASO - the ambitions of Chinese conglomerate Wanda in cycling - new formats - discredited people being welcomed back into the sport - the pros and cons of taking a major sporting event to Qatar

(ATR) International Cycling Union president Brian Cookson tells Around the Rings the federation is seeking a number of additions to its Olympic program at the next Summer Games in Japan.

This week on the show it’s Controversy at the Croc Trophy; Brian Cookson speaks on a women’s Tour de France; We look local as the NRS concludes and Cadel unveils his new event. That’s all in this week’s show, and with me, as always, it’s the troublesome trio of Cycling Central Editor Phil Gomes, Scribe Anthony Tan, and Ride Media’s Rob Arnold.

A new world order is forming in professional road cycling. Unless your name is Alejandro Valverde, who defiantly refuses to go away, and keeps on winning. From the white gravel roads of the Strade Bianche, to Bright’s dirt-lined singletrack in Victoria’s High Country, to the Beaujolais Route du Vin at Paris-Nice, to the chestnut groves of Castagneto Carducci adjacent to the Tyrrhenian Sea, we’ve got it all covered in this week’s Cycling Central podcast. In Strade Bianche it was a mano-a-mano battle between Michal Kwiatkowski (and yes, we workshop how to pronounce his name) and Peter Sagan; at the Australian MTB nationals it was the all-conquering cross-country couple Daniel McConnell and Rebecca Henderson who again dominated the headlines. Over at Paris-Nice, despite being halfway in, the GC battle’s only just unfolding since the controversial eleventh hour departure of defending champion Richie Porte, who, like his probable Giro d’Italia rivals, has opted for ‘la corsa dei due mari’, The Race of the Two Seas, otherwise known as Tirreno-Adriatico. The opening team time trial, although just 18.5 kilometres short, has already created significant splits – will this race be a portent of things to come in May? And, not to forget the fairer sex, the UCI has confirmed all nine rounds of the women’s World Cup will be televised. It seems our new prez Brian Cookson isn’t just talking the talk, he’s walking the talk. Or walking the walk. Or talking the walk. Anyway, he’s doing a lot of talking and walking. As for Al Hinds, Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan and special ‘novelty’ (as in new and unique, not cheap) guest Rob Arnold, publishing editor of RIDE Cycling Review, as per usual, they’re just talking. And talking. And talking.
