We're talking about branding. And in particular, we're looking at one brand. We're looking at the British cycling team, Team Sky, and how, after only two years of racing, they were the most recognised of all the teams on the Tour, the Tour de France.我们今天讨论的是品牌塑造。特别是,我们要讨论一个品牌:英国自行车队——天空车队(Team Sky)。他们在仅仅参加两年比赛后,就成为环法自行车赛中辨识度最高的车队之一。Yeah, so how did that happen, eh, Richard? Well we should say, of course, that they are an incredibly ambitious and successful team. They didn't start until 2010, did they? And they had this amazing aim to create the first British winner of the Tour de France within five years.是啊,所以这是怎么做到的,理查德?当然必须先说,他们是一支雄心勃勃而且非常成功的团队。他们直到 2010 年才成立,对吧?但他们设下了一个惊人的目标:五年内培养出第一位英国籍的环法冠军。Mmm, and they actually achieved it within two.嗯,而他们实际上只用两年就达成了目标。Bradley Wiggins won the Tour de France to become the first British rider in 2012. And then his Sky teammate, Chris Froome, won it the following year. So an amazing achievement for a fairly new company.布拉德利·威金斯在 2012 年赢得环法,成为第一位英国冠军。接着他的队友克里斯·弗鲁姆在次年再次赢得冠军。对一个如此年轻的团队来说,这是了不起的成就。Going back to 2010, the Sky team, they needed to create a brand that would inspire the world's best riders, didn't they? And to get everyone, their partners and the fans behind it, but without ever having won anything.回到 2010 年,天空车队必须打造一个能激励世界顶尖车手的品牌,对吧?他们需要让所有人、合作伙伴和粉丝都支持他们,而当时他们还没赢得任何比赛。The man behind Team Sky, the brains, if you like, Dave Brailsford, he approached a British design company... Antidote. ...called Antidote, and they developed together their idea, and they called it The Line.团队背后的关键人物,说是“大脑”也不为过——戴夫·布莱尔斯福德,他找了一家英国设计公司 —— Antidote。他们一起开发了一个概念,并称之为“那条线”(The Line)。It's been brought to life across everything. The kit, the bikes, the vehicles, the website, the advertising, and the team merchandise. And in fact, it's referred to explicitly in editorials by journalists as well.这个概念被应用在所有地方:队服、赛车、车辆、网站、广告以及队伍周边产品。事实上,甚至记者的专栏文章中也明确提到这个概念。The Sky team, The Line. Exactly.“天空车队,那条线。”没错。So where did they get this idea then for The Line? Well, it was an idea that the graphic design company came up with that developed from the team philosophy, this idea that there's a thin line between winning and losing, between failure and success, between good and great.那么他们从哪得到“那条线”的灵感?——这是设计公司基于团队哲学提出的概念:胜利与失败、成功与挫折、优秀与卓越之间,只有一条非常细微的界线。And Team Sky think it's a fine line that challenges everything that they do. Yes, and now they say, isn't it, we ride the line every day. Yeah.天空车队认为,这条细线是他们所做的一切的挑战。是的,他们现在常说:“我们每天都在那条线上骑行。”没错。I quite like the idea as well that The Line represents the line of cyclists that you see when you watch the Tour de France, when you see the peloton stretched out. I quite like that idea as well.我也很喜欢另外一种解释:那条线代表你在环法比赛中看到的车队长龙,整队车手延伸成一条线。我也很喜欢这种说法。But they took this line, this idea of The Line, the graphic designers, and they put that amazing bright blue strip all the way down the back of the riders against their black shirts.而设计团队将“那条线”视觉化,在车手的黑色队服背后加入了一条非常醒目的亮蓝色线条。And it's extraordinarily striking. Yes, and it's practical as well because obviously that line of blue stands out against the black so the riders can pick each other out more easily during races, as do the fans on the roadsides and those watching on TV.效果极其抢眼。是的,而且很实用,因为亮蓝色在黑色背景上非常突出,车手在比赛中更容易辨认队友,路旁的粉丝和电视观众也能更清楚看到。Yeah, the helicopters. When the helicopter goes over, you can see the Sky train. Exactly.对,尤其是直升机拍摄时——一飞过,你就能看到“天空列车”(Sky train)。没错。And the interesting thing is though, it's not the colours of Sky, they're sponsors either.有趣的是,它甚至不是天空电视台(赞助商)的品牌颜色。It's a completely separate colour that they've developed just for the cycling team. A whole new concept that goes with the team.这是他们专门为车队设计的全新颜色,是一个全新的品牌概念。Well, it's certainly worked, hasn't it, Richard, in creating a strong identity.这一切显然非常成功,不是吗,理查德?成功打造了强烈的品牌识别度。It's certainly a strong, very strong corporate identity. 它的确建立了非常强大的企业识别形象。

Pendant que certains goutent sereinement à leurs dernières heures de vacances avant la reprise, pour d'autres cette intersaison a un entre d'autres formations ou encore des contrats qui arrivent à terme. Cette année 2025 va laisser sur le carreau bon nombre de coureurs. Parmi eux un grand nom du peloton. Si rien n'est encore officiel il apparait chaque jour un peu plus probable que Chris Froome ait vécu sa dernière professionnelle après 19 ans d'une carrière étonnante qui l'aura vu passer de coureur africain anonyme à star du peloton avant de connaitre le drame et une chute terrible qui lui aura ôté bon nombre de ses qualités de super champion. Et aujourd'hui dans Grand Plateau on va revenir sur le cas Froome, évoquer quelques grands moments de sa carrière et se demander quelle image il laissera dans l'histoire du cyclisme. Celle de ce garçon timide, premier africain vainqueur du Tour ou celle d'un champion à la réputation sulfureuse souvent soupçonné mais jamais pris par la patrouille de l'antidopage. Avec Christophe Cessiux, Maria Azé, Yohan Bredow, Pierre Koetschet et Jérôme Coppel. Production : Roxanne LacuskaRéalisation : Kevin Paugam

O trio Ana Lidia Borba, Nicolas Sessler e Leandro Bittar se reencontra neste domingo, 18h, para o Boletim de Notícias de Ciclismo mais legal da semana. Essa semana falamos da saída melancólica de Chris Froome da equipe Israel, o fim da parceria Avancini-Caloi, as movimentações do mercado e muito mais!Chegue junto!
O futuro da equipe Israel já parecia incerto. Piorou. Um dos assuntos mais comentados da semana foi o anúncio da saída do co-patrocinador Premier Tech do projeto, complicando os planos da equipe para 2026. O conflito bélico já teve cessar fogo declarado, mas as consequências no esporte ainda são sentidas. O time israelense viu seu grande mecena Sylvan Adams sair de cena para continuar existindo, mas parece que ninguém mais quis se juntar ao desgastado projeto. Ao menos, por enquanto. Enquanto várias outras equipes tentam seduzir a Premier Tech para levar seus recursos para outro time, nomes como Bini Girmay e Derek Gee continuam com seus futuros travados. E o Chris Froome, hein? O contrato dele venceu, porém, ele ainda não pendurou oficialmente as sapatilhas. Vamos falar sobre isso e muito mais em uma semana com os campeonatos europeus de ciclocross, o UCI Granfondo Brazil em Pomerode e muito mais.
The Ultimate Bike Fit Guide (Pro Fitter Explains Everything). Chris and Jesse are joined by expert Bike Fitter Neill Stanbury from the @roadcyclingacademy to discuss everything from the perfect saddle height, the best road pedals and issues associated with shorter cranks.

El ciclista estadounidense Sepp Kuss, una de las piezas clave del equipo Visma Lease a Bike en la montaña, se detuvo a conversar sobre los inminentes desafíos del Tour de Francia. A las puertas de la mítica ascensión al Mont Ventoux y la decisiva llegada a los Alpes, Kuss comparte sus impresiones, expectativas y la estrategia del equipo. Sepp Kuss del Team Visma Lease a Bike tiene estudiadas las rampas del Mont Ventoux, “Monte pelado” en español. En la última visita del Tour al “Gigante de Provenza”, fue en 2021, Jonas Vingengard, líder del equipo neerlandés, empezó a construir el duelo de la década. Ese año, su ritmo asfixiante dejó sin aliento a Tadej Pogacar. En 2025, antes del inicio de la décima sexta etapa, el Vingengard va segundo en la general, a 4 minutos 13 segundos de Pogacar. ¿Podrá de rivalizar en el Mont Ventoux en 2025? Este martes será la etapa del Mont Ventoux, un puerto legendario. Como escalador, ¿Cómo nos puedes describir esta etapa? Sepp Kuss: "Es un puerto muy duro. Empieza con porcentajes muy duros y luego entras en una zona más desierta, más expuesta. Es una ascensión realmente dura. La décima sexta etapa será un poco diferente porque es más o menos llano antes del final, pero será, bueno, una etapa muy explosiva". El "Gigante de la Provenza" es famoso por su meteorología. ¿Hay temor por el viento, que suele ser un factor determinante en esa zona? "Sí, depende de las condiciones. Si hay viento de cara o a favor... pero, es verdad, es un puerto que depende mucho del viento y también del ritmo que se imponga en la subida". Esta etapa es la antesala de los Alpes. ¿Qué podemos esperar de ti y del equipo en esta cadena montañosa decisiva? "Seguiremos intentando entrar en la escapada para buscar otra etapa. Y mientras tanto, ayudar a Jonas (Vingegaard). Ahora mismo la general no está decidida, pero hay mucho margen entre Pogacar y Jonas. Intentaremos ayudarle lo máximo posible, mientras buscamos el premio por equipos". Vingengard vs Pogacar en 2021, Froome corriendo en 2016… El Tour de France ha pasado en 18 ocasiones por el Mont Ventoux, 10 de ellas ha sido meta, la primera vez en 1951. Cada vez hay una anécdota que contar, pero una de las imágenes más recordadas es la Chris Froome corriendo en medio de la multitud en 2016. El belga Thomas De Gendt ganó en esa ocasión. Froome conservo su maillot amarillo después del análisis del reglamento y lo llevó hasta Paris para conquistar su tercer Tour de France
As the dust settles on a sensational 20th stage of the Giro d'Italia, Lionel Birnie is joined by Matt White – one of the people in cycling who knows Simon Yates best – to analyse how the race was won (and lost) on the Colle delle Finestre. Until the eve of the Giro, Matt was head of performance at the Jayco-Alula team, having been with the Green Edge organisation since it was founded. Until this season, Yates had spent his whole professional career with the team and he and Matt shared many highs and one memorable low. Matt was in the team car when Simon Yates lost the 2018 Giro on the Finestre following Chris Froome's audacious long-range attack on stage 19, so he has a fascinating insight into the tactical and psychological issues that played out on the mountain on Saturday. Yates bounced back later that season to win the Vuelta a España. But what else stood out to Matt as he watched the stage on Saturday? How did Visma-Lease A Bike pull it off, and could Isaac Del Toro, Richard Carapaz and their respective teams have done anything differently?

De grootste jynx die de rode lantaarn ooit heeft afgeleverd is toch wel die van de Giro in 2018. In de hoop dat Dumoulin de ronde van Italie voor het tweede jaar op rij zou winnen, feliciteerden wij de Australier alvast met zijn eindoverwinning. En net als met Kruijswijk een paar jaar eerder sloeg het noodlot toe. Simon Yates stortte in en verloor de Giro op grandioze wijze. Wij waren geen steek verder want Chris Froome toverde een konijn uit een hoed waar wij al lang geen rekening meer mee hielden. Net zoals dat UAE vandaag geen rekening hield met Simon Yates. En dat Carapaz ooit de Giro won omdat Roglic en Nibali elkaar het wit uit de ogen keken was de Ecuadoraan blijkbaar ook vergeten want hij en Del Toro gunden elkaar geen meter en gingen daarna als twee bokkende pubers op hun kamer zitten. Er komen een hele hoop verhalen bij elkaar vandaag. De ene nog ronder dan de ander. Eindstand is, Simon Yates wint de Giro en dat is ongelofelijk mooi...

This week James and Will are joined by Andy Schleck, Tour de France winner, brother to Frank and victim in the infamous chaingate affair, in which Alberto Contador rode past a stricken Schleck – the yellow jersey wearer having suffered a dropped chain – to snatch the 2010 Tour de France top step. Two years later, Schleck was retroactively awarded the win after Contador was banned for doping, but how does that sit with the 39-year-old Luxembourgish today?In a wonderfully candid chat, Schleck explains his thoughts then and now, plus what it meant to race with his brother, his special bond with teammates forged off the road, the doping scene in the early 2000s, his stunning 2009 Tour and his bittersweet experience in 2011, the injuries that led to retirement, the personal crisis he faced once he hung up his wheels, and what he really thinks about Bjarne Riis, Johan Bruyneel, Chris Froome and, of course, Christmas.Today, Andy Schleck runs several successful cycling shops in Luxembourg and is ambassador for the Kitzbüheler Radmarathon, a gruelling sportive that takes place in Austria in September 2025.----Did you know Cyclist is also stunning monthly print magazine?

Send us a textWe've got a cycling industry and bike tech special for you this week on the podcast, as Factor CEO Rob Gitelis joins us to discuss the brand's history and the latest cutting-edge tech, before we take a closer (audio) inspection of the brand-new Scott Addict RC.In part one, Rob joins us from sunny Girona to chat about his journey from racing cyclist to working in Taiwan's fledgling carbon fibre bike manufacturing industry and making bikes for an array of famous brands.Rob then traces his journey to Factor, the company's own growth in recent years – which has seen it win grand tour stages and Olympic gold medals – and how it's been able to weather the storms of the bike industry's turbulent post-pandemic period. He also chats about that infamous Chris Froome bike set-up saga, his partnership with Israel-Premier Tech, the inevitable rise of disc brakes, and why the gold medal-winning track tech we saw in Paris – which Rob claims made the Aussies go three seconds faster – could soon be making its way to a road bike near you.And in part two, Dave gets up close and personal with the brand spanking new Scott Addict RC, the brand's new top-end climbing bike weighing in at a featherweight 5.9kg.Dave is joined by the bike's product designer Christian Holweck and lead engineer Max Koenen to discuss how you go about making such a light bike, while keeping it comfortable and throwing in a few nods to the aero watchers too.
Em uma temporada com aposentadorias marcantes, um nome insiste em se manter no pelotão: Chris Froome. O supercampeão convive com um desempenho discretíssimo nos últimos anos, mas sonha com uma última grande volta aos 40 anos de idade. Será que faz sentido?Vamos falar sobre isso e muito mais no Gregario Radio dessa semana, que traz as principais notícias do ciclismo, algumas fofocas interessantes e muito mais.Ana Lidia Borba, Nico Sessler e Leandro Bittar esperam você no Youtube e também no seu player de podcast preferido.Esse programa é um oferecimento de Session Brasil (@sessionbrasil).

This week on the Spin Cycle podcast, Caley, Jonny, and Kit kick off with an update on Tom Pidcock's dramatic transfer saga. It turns out he's going nowhere. Or is he? This whole situation adds to the growing narrative that INEOS is a difficult team to be on, as evidenced by Ethan Hayter's recent comments about the "weird environment." Despite the failed transfer, it sounds like there are a few other teams still interested in acquiring Pidcock, but it'll probably take a hefty buyout to pry him away from INEOS at this point.Next up, the crew discuss Chris Froome's shocking admission that he won't be vying for another Tour de France victory. It's tough to see a legendary athlete come to terms with the limitations of their body, but we admire Froome's honesty and grace in addressing the situation. We also take some time to discuss the UCI's exploration of budget caps within the WorldTour. Chris Marshall Bell, who broke the story for Escape Collective, joins to talk about the potential implications of these financial regulations. While there's no consensus on the matter yet, it's clear that the UCI is serious about addressing the financial disparities within the sport. And finally, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the tough news regarding Chris Hoy's health. His strength and positivity in the face of such a challenging diagnosis are truly inspiring, and we wish him and his family all the best.
This week James and Will are joined by Ned Boulting: commentator, pundit, author, stage performer, part-time comic and all-round superb raconteur. Ned talks about the 2011 season (the star of his new The Road Book 2011 almanac), from a knife-edge Tour de France with Cadel Evans snatching a last gasp victory, to a Vuelta a España that announced a rising star in the shape of Chris Froome. Conversation then turns to this year's Tour, from Cav's history-making win no.35 to the imperial form of Tadej Pogačar.

Onsdag vandt Jonas Vingegaard en ikonisk etape i Tour de France. På målstregen slog han sin evige rival Tadej Pogacar. Men i Frankrig og blandt cykelfans har de svært ved at forstå den stille, introverte, men dominerende dansker. Men vreden mod den dominerende dansker står Vingegaard ikke alene med. Eddie Merckx, Lance Armstrong og Chris Froome har alle også oplevet den med slag fra tilskuere og urinkast til følge. Jonas Vingegaard ligger lige nu nummer tre i Tour de France, men hvis han slår den elskede slovener, Tadej Pogacar, i løbets sidste dage, kan han så ende lige så forhadt som sine forgængere i den gule trøje? Dagens gæst er Søren Lissner, som dækker Tour de France for Politiken. I udsendelsen nævner vi ved en fejl, at Vingegaard ligger nummer to.

Full Episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Hj8DcLEc9g The video discusses the nuances of training strategies in endurance sports, particularly focusing on the balance between fasted training or carb-restricted training and the athlete's physiological profile. It emphasizes the importance of understanding an athlete's metabolic type (glycolytic vs. aerobic) and tailoring training accordingly to improve performance in specific events, such as long-distance races or multi-day stage races. The speaker highlights the differences in energy utilization between glycolytic and aerobic athletes during endurance rides and suggests that training zones should be based on VO2 rather than FTP to account for these variations. Furthermore, the discussion delves into the challenges faced by glycolytic athletes, using Marcel Kittel's Tour de France experiences as an example, to illustrate the heightened physiological demands they face, especially in situations like climbing and sprinting, compared to more aerobic-focused riders like Chris Froome.

We're delighted to welcome a BIG guest to the GTCC today - G's boss and the head of INEOS, Sir Jim Ratcliffe! A huge cycling and sports fan, Jim is one of the most talked about men in the sporting world right now, following his investment into Manchester United. The INEOS Sport portfolio continues to grow and, over an hour and a cup of coffee in his Monaco office, Jim was more than happy to chat to Geraint and Tom about how he's ended up owning one of the world's largest cycling teams, an America's Cup sailing team, two other football clubs, a stake in the Mercedes F1 team, become a major sponsor of the All Blacks, and so much more. There's also an excellent anecdote about being crashed by Chris Froome - yes, really - plus a lot of chat about Jim's plans for returning United to the top of English and world football. We hope this gives you a great insight into Sir Jim and a better understanding of his sporting investments. Meanwhile G's straight back to work - this time in Catalunya, as he continues his prep for the Giro. We'll see you next week for the last GTCC of season four!

Merry Christmas GTCCers! G and Tom are back with a little festive bonus pod for you all to enjoy in the classic Christmas lull between the big day and New Year's Eve. Back at the start of December G spent some time with the charity Best Buddies and welcomed the founder of the charity, Anthony Kennedy Shriver, to the GTCC. Best Buddies is a nonprofit organisation dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Cam Wurf, Chris Froome, Magnus Sheffield and Tom Pidcock have all helped Best Buddies in the past and this year G was privileged to lend his own support to the charity. He spoke to Anthony about the charity's work and much more besides. We'll be back in early 2024 with some more brilliant guests on the GTCC. See you then.

We last spoke to Chris Froome midway through 2021 on the GTCC and, well, a lot has happened since then! G thought it was time to get his old mate back on the pod for an update from Froomey. And when they caught up at the Best Buddies Camp in Malibu, Chris sounded as determined as ever - and ready to keep pushing hard out on the road in 2024. He also announced very exciting plans for a Chris Froome Academy in Africa (we think that's a GTCC exclusive...) and gave his thoughts on INEOS' current position three years after he left the team. What do you think - we will see Chris back at the sharp end of bike races again? We hope so. In other news, G is getting ready for INEOS' December Mallorca camp and has promised us he will make at least one GTCC Zwift ride while he's there. We would love you to join him - just search for GTCC Weekly Ride on Zwift, and we'll see you at 6pm UK time, every Wednesday. We'll be back next week - and all being well, we'll have one of our biggest guests yet. Watch this space. Music courtesy of BMG Music Production Learn more about your ad choices.

As a world tour mechanic Filip Tišma has worked alongside some of the biggest names in the cycling. He's the man who gave his countryman Matej Mohorič the idea to use the dropper post in Milan-San Remo and has helped the likes of Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas to grand tour glory. Bobby and Jens find out exactly what a top level mechanic gets up to on a daily basis and discovers just how many bikes they have to build in a year (spoiler: it's a lot!), how their leader's bikes differ from the rest of the bunch and the incredible process that goes into building a one off bike when a rider wins a classification at a grand tour. Bobby and Jens is a Shocked Giraffe production for Velo. This episode was produced and edited by Mark Payne .

Lance, JB, and George break down a fantastic stage win from Tadej Pogačar, who outsprinted Jonas Vingegaard atop the Col du Platzerwasel to cap off an extremely difficult stage 20 that took the riders over multiple categorized climbs of the Vosges mountains. The crew discuss Vingegaard's decision to sprint, Thibaut Pinot's aggressive racing in an attempt to contest the stage win on the last Tour de France mountain stage of his career, and a series of bad crashes along the way involving Sepp Kuss, David Gaudu and Carlos Rodríguez. Also, make sure to listen until the end when Chris Froome joins the show as a special guest!

The shapeshifter of elite endurance sports, today's guest is by far one of the world's most remarkable all-around athletes. Meet Cam Wurf, an Aussie who has distinguished himself at the highest, most elite level, in three distinct sports. First in rowing where he represented Australia in the 2004 Athens Olympics. He then turned to professional cycling as a super domestique for Team Sky and now INEOS, where he played a crucial role in supporting guys like Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas, serving as a secret weapon to their Tour de France victories. Cam has simultaneously distinguished himself at the highest level of Ironman triathlon, collecting wins at IM Wales and IM Australia, and is most well known for setting and holding (until this past year) the bike course record at the IMWC in Kona. He can train and race with the best professional cyclists in the world, set bike course records at the world's most prestigious Ironmans, and even run a 2:45 marathon after a 2.4 mile swim and 112-mile bike. He doesn't seem to ever get tired. He absolutely loves training. And he's always smiling. So who is this guy? Like you, I have so many questions. And today Cam is here to answer them with an infectious enthusiasm I wish I could bottle. Enjoy!

Kilometre 0 Richie and Chris kicks off a seven-part mini series focusing on the 2013 Tour de France. To mark the 100th edition of the race, the Tour headed to Corsica for the grand départ. Lionel Birnie spoke to former teammates Chris Froome and Richie Porte about the race. Froome led Team Sky for the first time having been runner-up to Bradley Wiggins the previous year. Wiggins was somewhat controversially – although perhaps not surprisingly – left out of the line-up a few weeks before the start. There was drama from the start. On day one Froome crashed in the neutralised zone before the race had even started, then the Orica-GreenEdge team bus got stuck under the finish line gantry, almost bringing the entire Tour to a standstill. Froome laid down the gauntlet in the Pyrenees when, for 24 hours, everything looked to be going Sky's way. Then there was a date with Mont Ventoux, a double-ascent of Alpe d'Huez and some nervous moments in the final few days. The rest of the series The 100th Tour, 10 years On is the story of that 2013 race as told by The Cycling Podcast. We've delved into our archive to revisit the first Tour the podcast covered. The remaining six episodes will be released for Friends of the Podcast subscribers from Tuesday to Thursday. Our Kilometre 0 series for the 2023 Tour de France will be available to Friends of the Podcast subscribers. Sign up at thecyclingpodcast.com.
