Join Lionel Birnie, Graham Willgoss, Rob Hatch and François Thomazeau for the first part of The Cycling Podcast's bumper Tour de France preview. This episode focuses on the first half of the 112th Tour, which will take the riders from Lille in the north east, across to Normandy and Brittany before cutting down through the heart of France to the Massif Central. The head-to-head battle between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard is currently tied at 2-2, with the Slovenian winning in 2021 and 2024 and the Dane taking back-to-back victories in 2022 and 2023. But, as closely-matched as they often seem, none of those four clashes has been particularly close and, as we saw at the Dauphiné last month, Pogačar seems to have the upper hand at the moment. So, will we see a battle royale between the Three Tenors – © Rob Hatch – with Remco Evenepoel one of the riders most suited to a punchy, scrappy opening week, especially with a time trial to contend with? François breaks down the route and explains what we have to look forward to before the first rest day after ten stages. Part two of The XL Tour de France Preview will be online soon... INTRODUCING VAN RYSEL, OUR TOUR DE FRANCE SPONSORS We are very pleased to welcome Van Rysel as our sponsors for the first half of our Tour de France coverage. The Tour gets underway in Lille, the city where the company was founded and has its headquarters. The city is steeped in French cycling history and heritage, not least because the cobbles of Paris-Roubaix are on the doorstep. Van Rysel supplies bikes and kit for the Decathlon-AG2R La Mondiale World Tour team, who feature Felix Gall, Bruno Armirail and Aurélien Paret-Peintre in their line-up for the Tour. If you are going to Lille for the opening weekend make sure to drop in at Van Rysel House, a pop-up venue and hub for cycling fans. It's located at Hein Estaminet in Place Saint-Hubert a short walk from the Euralille train station. It's a place to have a drink or something to eat and watch the race on TV and there'll be lots going on over the weekend with a quiz night to test your cycling knowledge each night at 8pm. There's also some group rides setting out from there. A chance to see the Van Reesel bikes and the innovation that goes into their design. Visit www.vanryselcycling.com to find out more.

This episode of KM0 from the Friends of the Podcast feed is available for all for a limited time. As we count down to the start of the Tour de France on Saturday, we're releasing episodes new and vintage throughout the week. First up, to mark the tenth anniversary of the creation of our spin-off show we're adding the very first episode of KM0 to our free feed. Join Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe in the car as they approach Utrecht, venue for the 2015 Grand Départ. This episode launched our KM0 series, which gave us the platform to tell a wide range of different stories we didn't have space for in the regular stage recaps. The KM0 back catalogue is available for Friends of the Podcast. Sign up at thecyclingpodcast.com

Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss for the final instalment of their pre-Tour de France 'attitude camp'. In this episode they recap the final major preparation race, the Tour de Suisse where UAE Team Emirates – who else? – took the overall honours. But while João Almeida's overall victory had a feeling of inevitability about it as soon as he reached the midway checkpoint in the final time trial, the week was perhaps more revealing about the two riders who joined him on the podium. We hear from third-placed Oscar Onley, who won a stage and put together the best stage race performance of his career as he prepares to head to the Tour for Picnic Post NL. And we discuss Kevin Vauquelin's credentials as a potential star for the home nation at the Tour. He won a stage during the opening weekend in Italy last week and he very nearly delivered a huge result for an Arkea-B&B Hotels team that has been struggling in the World Tour this season. There's a recap of the other races, including two events on the calendar in Copenhagen and Andorra, a brush with the UCI rules and analysis of Tadej Pogačar's foray into the world of children's books with his partner Urška Žigart. Next up – our XL Tour de France Preview episode will be out in the middle of next week.  EPISODE SPONSORS NordVPN Get NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.

They may not have made it to their Swiss chalet, but spirits are still high on this month's Cycling Podcast Féminin as the team tackle several weeks of lively racing. Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton set themselves the challenge of picking out some moments that made them say “Ooh!” from the Tour of Britain Women and the Tour de Suisse, which is no easy task after a number of memorable moments and breakthrough performances. Plus this month's mini feature offers up a sneak preview of an upcoming Friends of the Podcast special. Four time British national champion Lisa Brambani sits down with The Cycling Podcast producer Tom Whalley to talk about the first ever women's Giro in 1988. Brambani offers some rare detail as she battled convent dormitories and cold water showers as well as the race itself, all diligently recorded in her diary. We also look ahead to this year's Giro d'Italia and explore the punchy eight stage course which includes three summit finishes. Also on the agenda, Denny's imaginary Toblerone-inventing grandfather, Rebecca's 90s hip hop karaoke and a thousand ways of saying “ooh!”.

Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss as they review the Critérium du Dauphiné and ask whether it was a full dress rehearsal for the Tour de France. Get ready to check-in for another block of pre-Tour preparation at The Cycling Podcast's ‘Attitude Camp'. With Eddy Merckx about to celebrate his 80th birthday, Tadej Pogačar equalled The GOAT's tally of Dauphiné victories (one) and reminded everyone, including Jonas Vingegaard, he remains the number one favourite for next month's Tour de France. But what else did we learn from the Dauphiné? Brian Nygaard is on hand to remind us that although it wasn't a winning week for Vingegaard, the Dane and his Visma-Lease A Bike team need not press the panic button just yet. We ask Rod Ellingworth of Bahrain Victorious about Lenny Martinez's stage victory on the final day, as the long wait for a French Tour champion approaches 40 years. And we make a quick visit to Coorevits Corner to find out what Hugo made of Remco Evenepoel's Dauphiné.

Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss kick-off The Cycling Podcast's build-up to the Tour de France, which starts in Lille on July 5. The Critérium du Dauphiné began in spectacular style with fireworks at the end of the opening stage on Sunday. The three riders who finished on the podium at last year's Tour de France – Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard and Remco Evenepoel – lined up alongside each other for the first time since last July. And they all came alive on the final climb of the race, breaking clear with Mathieu van der Poel and Santiago Buitrago, to hold off the sprinters in Montluçon. It was a statement of intent from the three leading contenders for this summer's Tour as they begin their final preparations for the grand départ.

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?

On The Cycling Podcast Féminin this month, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton head back to their virtual cabana to talk about everything that happened in the Spanish racing block. With a win at Vuelta a Burgos, Marlen Reusser's ascendency continues. The Movistar rider has put a difficult 2024 behind her to become one of the very best GC stage race contenders in the world. Plus we can't agree on whether to put Team SD Worx's lacklustre GC stage racing campaign in Burgos and Itzulia down to overreaching team orders or plain old bad luck. And there are some new names to look out for in the peloton, with riders like Mie Bjørndal Ottestad and Celia Géry enjoying breakthrough performances. For this month's mini feature, we speak to two Irish riders who have joined the World Tour this season - Lara Gillespie of UAE-ADQ and Mia Griffin of Roland. The pair formed half of the quartet that made history at the Paris Olympics as Ireland's first ever female pursuit team, a feat all the more remarkable considering the country is yet to have an indoor velodrome. We hear from both riders as they turn their attentions to the road. Also on the agenda, week-long Nienke Vinke Fan Club celebrations, Denny's Union Jack bowler hat and how the TCP Féminin budget REALLY gets spent.

The hardest stage of the Giro d'Italia, by general consensus, takes the race into the Valle d'Aosta two days before its conclusion. Italy's smallest region has often played host to drama in the Giro - but exactly where is it and what does this mountainous & mysterious land represent.  In this episode, Daniel Friebe & Michele Pelacci ponder and answer these questions and look ahead to what could be this Giro's most spectacular day.

In this special Arrivée episode, Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton look back at the first Grand Tour of the year for the women's peloton, the Vuelta Femenina. The race marks the first World Tour stage race to see top rivals Anna Van der Breggen and Demi Vollering go head-to-head. Vollering may have had the edge so far this season but Van der Breggen has found further form since her comeback. And then there's fellow SD Worx alumnus Marlen Reusser who separated the two Dutch rivals on the podium at Setmana Valenciana earlier in the year. So where will the fabled red jersey land this time?

The first Grand Tour of the 2025 season is also our tenth Giro d‘Italia on the ground with daily episodes. We kick things off here, with Daniel Friebe, Brian Nygaard and Rob Hatch looking ahead to the next three weeks of action, first in Albania and then Italy. First, we examine a route that may lack summit finishes but should deliver excitement from the middle of stage one. The riders on the startline should also see to that, particularly the stacked field of GC contenders led by pre-race favourites Primož Roglič and Juan Ayuso. We also meet a new addition to the podcast team for the Giro, Michele Pelacci, and hear more about what we've got in store over the next few weeks.  NordVPN Get NordVPN two-year plan + four months extra ➼ https://nordvpn.com/tcp It's risk-free with Nord's 30-day money-back guarantee.

The Giro d'Italia rolls out from Albania on Friday and in doing so will introduce cycling fans to one of the more mysterious and probably misunderstood countries on the continent of Europe.  We, too, knew very little about the 'Land of Eagles' but, in January this year, were invited on a remarkable treasure hunt that began with a listener's enigmatic direct message into Daniel Friebe's Twitter inbox. The story that then revealed itself - without giving too much away here - was one of an epic cycling journey that also turned into an astonishing voyage of self-discovery, into the so-called ‘Accursed Mountains' of northern Albania.  This KM0 is exceptionally available to all listeners, whether Friends of The Cycling Podcast or not.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are your guides through the latest headlines and talking points from the world of pro cycling, this week assisted by Tudor Pro Cycling ace Larry Warbasse, fresh from his successful week at the Tour of the Alps.  We look back at the latest Tadej Pogačar tour de force at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and invite Larry to speculate about the rest of Pogačar's season. There's also a trip to Coorevits Corner, where Remco Evenepoel's underwhelming performance in La Doyenne gives Hugo food for thought.  In the final part of the episode, Larry takes us inside Michael Storer's masterful performance at the Tour of the Alps. We also ask: how far can ‘Storerčar' go at the Giro?  Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton dissect the final Classic of the 2025 Spring season, Liège-Bastogne-Liège.  With the first two Ardennes Classics - Amstel Gold Race and Flèche Wallonne - going to unexpected winners, all of the big contenders were looking for the victory in Liège. Puck Pieterse arrived looking to get her second win of the week, whilst Demi Vollering was hunting her first victory since Strade Bianche in March. Plus Anna van der Breggen returns from illness, looking to become the most decorated winner of the race having been victorious twice before. But with the stage racing season upon us, every rider will be vying for their last chance for a precious Spring Classics win.

Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray as they pick apart all the action from this year's Flèche Wallonne Féminine. After a surprise result for a late breakaway at Amstel Gold Race, everything was to play for at the second race of the Ardennes Classics. Despite a much-hyped expected comeback to the race, seven time winner Anna Van der Breggen didn't take to the startline after suffering from illness last week. But with defending champion Kasia Niewiadoma and 2023 champion Demi Vollering already proving to be in top form this season, the race was set to be fiercely contested. Or could a new champion be announced at the top of the infamous Mur de Huy? Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie for their post-race analysis following the best three minutes of the cycling season (that takes place on a Wednesday afternoon, in spring, in Wallonia). Yes, it's the annual uphill cheeseroll competition (copyright Friebos). But just how far can we stretch the cheese analogies? What would win? A giant Camembert or 30 Mini Babybels? And what has New Year's Eve in New York got to do with anything? There's serious tactical discussion and lots of nonsensical talk about sunglasses too. You wouldn't expect anything else.

The Cicle Classic is England's answer to the spring classics. Paris-Roubaix is the Hell of the North so perhaps this ought to be known as the Beast in the East. The race celebrates its 20th anniversary this month, with the 2025 edition taking place on Sunday, April 27. Held in the East Midlands, the race criss-crosses the countryside, taking in rough, rutted farm tracks. If it was created today it would be considered a gravel race. The Tour of Flanders has the Koppenberg, Gent-Wevelgem has the Kemmelberg, Paris-Roubaix has the Arenberg – the Cicle Classic has Somerberg. Lionel Birnie explores the history and character of the UK's highest-ranked one-day race and hears from the founder Colin Clews who had the idea, Matt Stephens, who was third in the first edition two decades ago, Conor Dunne, who won in 2016 and James McCallum, who was on the podium in arguably the most dramatic and certainly the muddiest edition in 2012.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back to examine the latest headlines and talking points from the world of pro cycling, this week aided by TNT commentator Rob Hatch. The Classics have migrated (slightly) south to the hills of Limburg and the Ardennes, with the Brabantse Pijl and Amstel Gold kicking off the final phase of the spring season last week. In the former, Remco Evenepoel completed a stunning return from injury to outsprint Wout Van Aert. Amstel saw an even more surprising denouement, with Mattias Skjelmose proving too quick - just - for Tadej Pogačar and Evenepoel. We ponder what this all means for the remainder of the Ardennes Classics, with a detour via Coorevits Corner. There's also a look back at the life and times of British cycling legend Barry Hoban.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to review the latest headlines and talking points from the world of pro cycling, this week in the company of Tudor Pro Cycling ace Larry Warbasse, aka ‘The Motown Maestro'. While the Classics leave the flatlands of Flanders behind and head south towards hillier terrain, Larry has been getting ready for his big goal of the spring, the Giro d'Italia, in Spain's Sierra Nevada. We hear what he's made of the duel that has provided the central plot of the Classics so far, Pogačar versus Van der Poel, and also about high-altitude Giro prep.  There's also Coorevits Corner and a look back at another remarkable week for team UAE Emirates, crowned by João Almeida's victory in Itzulia.  Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

We are hitting the road for this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray in their little Bar Tabac just a stone's throw from the famous Paris Roubaix cobbles. They'll be calling up Rebecca Charlton to collectively cast an eye over this season's early Classics. Talk inevitably turns to SD Worx who have been the most successful of the teams so far, although they certainly haven't had it all their way. Their stars Lotte Kopecky and Lorena Wiebes have managed some mighty solo wins, often without the powerful team support that we've come to expect. Plus we transport our listeners to the pavé of Northern France in our mini feature. Follow along with Rose and Denny in a mad dash to the velodrome as they cover Paris-Roubaix Femmes. Soak up the atmosphere and hear from the likes of Paris-Roubaix debutant Imogen Wolff, former men's champion Magnus Backstedt and former Pédaleuse de Charme Marthe Truyen. We'll also be looking ahead to what is set to be a thrilling Ardennes Classic season with the return of the gripping rivalry between Anna Van der Breggen and Demi Vollering. Also on the agenda: good luck high fives, a mystery butterfly and Denny's got his crystal balls out again.

Join Lionel Birnie, who is in the André-Pétrieux velodrome in Roubaix, and Daniel Friebe as they recap the 122nd edition of Paris-Roubaix. With Tadej Pogačar making his much-anticipated debut in the (senior) race, and Mathieu van der Poel aiming for a third consecutive victory – something that hasn't been done since Francesco Moser ruled the pavé (1978-1980), the Hell of the North was billed as a showdown between these generational talents. But with half-a-dozen other genuine contenders, it also promised to be an open race. Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week with ace TNT commentator Rob Hatch.   We revisit some of the big talking points after the Ronde van Vlaanderen at the weekend, including Mathieu van der Poel's disrupted preparation and what the result means for Eddy Merckx-Tadej Pogačar comparisons.  Of course on Sunday Pogačar could achieve a feat that no one since Merckx has managed - winning Paris-Roubaix as the reigning Tour de France champion. Can he do it? And if not, could the subject of another Coorevits Corner this week, Belgian sweetheart Wout Van Aert, be the man to thwart him?

Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie as they analyse the men's edition of the Tour of Flanders. With the three big stars of the spring – Mathieu van der Poel, Tadej Pogačar and Mads Pedersen – set to go head to head, who else could force their way into the reckoning, and would Wout van Aert and his Visma-Lease A Bike team be able to play a part in the latter stages?

Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton pick over what was set to be a fiercely contested Tour of Flanders. Defending champion Elisa Longo Borghini heads up the top favourites for the race and arrives in fine form following her Dwars Door Vlaanderen victory. Meanwhile, World Champion Lotte Kopecky comes to the race without a win to her name this season but on the lookout for a historic third title in De Ronde.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week with top TNT commentator Rob Hatch.   We discuss an intense weekend of racing, with a pair of key appetizers before the Tour of Flanders: E3 Harelbeke and Gent-Wevelgem. The two semi-Classics saw Mathieu van der Poel and Mads Pedersen in superlative form, so who, besides Tadej Pogačar, could possibly stop them in Flanders on Sunday?  Wout Van Aert's chances are the subject of this week's Coorevits Corner. We also look back at the Volta a Catalunya and the latest tour de force by Primož Roglič. This week's episode ends on a sombre note as we remember our late co-founder Richard Moore, who was the subject of a special tribute in Gent-Wevelgem on Sunday.   Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week in the company of former CSC, Sky and GreenEDGE communications maestro Brian Nygaard.  After our Arrivée episode at the weekend, we discuss one or two talking points that we missed in the immediate wake of Sanremo - and the hot breaking news that Tadej Pogačar will ride Paris-Roubaix.  There's also a look at the Volta a Catalunya, where Lennard Kämna is making his comeback after a career-threatening crash a year ago. The episode features an interview with Kämna and also our weekly trip to Coorevits Corner, where Hugo is expecting E3 Harelbeke to deliver a few home truths.  Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell cast their eye over one of the most hotly anticipated races of the year, Milano-Sanremo Donne. The last time the race was staged for women was 20 years ago, leaving plenty of intrigue over how it would be approached by this current crop of riders. This season's battle of SD Worx versus Demi Vollering was expected to continue into this race. The Dutch team boasted both World Champion Lotte Kopecky and super sprinter Lorena Wiebes in their line-up, making them the team to beat. However, former alumnus Vollering – now of FDJ Suez – got the better of them at Strade Bianche and looked to do it again on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio.  There were plenty of contenders for the inaugural Milano Sanremo Donne title elsewhere too. Trofeo Binda champion Elisa Balsamo heads up Lidl-Trek, Elisa Longo Borghini looks to make a big impression as Italian champion and Kasia Niewiadoma races for the first time since her Strade Bianche crash. Arrivée is The Cycling Podcast's quick-fire race analysis show offering a first take on the biggest races. Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie as they discuss their first impressions of the opening Monument of the spring, the longest one-day race on the World Tour calendar, Milan-Sanremo.
