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?

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss today's stage of the Giro d'Italia, which Jayco-AlUla's Luke Plapp won with a long-range breakaway and saw Primož Roglič intentionally cede the race lead to XDS-Astana's Diego Ulissi. They discuss Plapp's impressive win, what this means for his career in the future, and what to make of UAE and Ayuso's aggressive riding during the stage, before previewing Sunday's critical Stage 9, which takes the peloton over the white gravel roads of Tuscany to finish in the Piazza del Campo. They predict who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.

Matt Stephens chats to Paul Double about his journey from development rider at Zappi's Racing Team to winning World Tour stages for Jayco AlUla. Unlike recent trends, Paul's route to the top tier of pro cycling has been a steady development over many years of racing through the ranks, only signing his first World Tour contract at 28. He's a gritty, determined climber with a decent sprint - so he's certainly one to watch if he's chosen for this season's Giro d'Italia. Not only is he a fantastica bike racer, but he can sing and play guitar too! Paul treats us to a rendition of Zach Bryan's “Something in the Orange” at the end of the podcast. Enjoy!

Letizia Paternoster e Anna Trevisi si confrontano sullo stato attuale del ciclismo femminile, analizzando la sua crescita e le dinamiche che lo rendono sempre più competitivo.Letizia Paternoster, una delle sprinter più talentuose a livello internazionale, ha conquistato titoli europei su pista e ottenuto successi importanti su strada. Anna Trevisi, ciclista professionista del team Jayco AlUla, è una delle lead-out più esperte, il cui ruolo è fondamentale per posizionare al meglio le velociste nelle fasi decisive delle volate.In questa conversazione approfondiamo il ruolo della lead-out, il rapporto tra chi lancia e chi finalizza e le innovazioni che stanno contribuendo all'evoluzione del ciclismo femminile.Un confronto diretto con due atlete che vivono il ciclismo da protagoniste, condividendo esperienze di gara, strategie di squadra e il percorso di crescita di un movimento sempre più strutturato e seguito.

The cycling world wondered what would happen to Caleb Ewan this season. Seemingly on his way out of Jayco Alula, where was he going to end up? INEOS swooped in, midway through January, and now have themselves a top level sprinter. Exciting, right? G certainly thinks so, and is delighted the team have signed a close friend. He called him up and, following the move, we thought it was the right time to get Caleb back to talk about it. Why did he leave Jayco? Did he ever consider stopping? What can we expect in 2025? Will he be at the Tour? He answers all of those - and plenty more besides. Enjoy.

Growing up in Ethiopia, Tsgabu Grmay was inspired to start riding by his father and older brother, who were both cyclists. As a teenager, he was selected to go to the UCI's World Cycling Centre in South Africa and signed with his first UCI team in 2012. Since then, he raced 12 years on the WorldTour with teams including Lampre-Merida, Trek-Segafredo, and Jayco-AlUla. He retired from road racing at the end of 2023, but joined Team Amani as a rider and coach. This year, he's on the roster for the Life Time Grand Prix. A lot of former WorldTour riders who turn to gravel are looking for a smooth offramp to retirement, or, at the very least, are hoping to professionalize the sport and bring more teams into the fold. But Tsgabu is fired up about all the things that make gravel different from road racing. He sat down with Payson in Girona this week to talk about his childhood in Ethiopia, the challenges he faced when he moved to Europe and joined the WorldTour, and why being on Team Amani and fostering cycling in East Africa is even more of a dream come true than racing the Tour de France.Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

In this episode of The Domestiques the team is joined by Matt White, the head honcho behind the shakers and movers at Jayco-AlUla. We ask the hard questions. What's the real story behind Caleb Ewan's departure? What plans are there for Ben O'Connor, Michael Matthews and Luke Plapp? Is The Pog beatable? We look back on the TDU and look ahead to the Cadel Evans one day classic. It's a deep in-depth discussion with Australia's most highly decorated Sporting Director.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP The 2025 road racing season has kicked off down here in Adelaide at the Tour Down Under, and that can only mean one thing; it's time for The Race Communiqué! It's been a long off season, but Southam, Durbo, and I are back on the mics having a yarn about bike racing, and boy is it good to be back. TDU is a special race. Not only is it my “home” race, but it's also one of the only times of the year that EF Education Easypost DS Tom Southam, newly crowned Aussie natty champ Luke Durbridge, and I are all in the same place. So, for the first episode of 2025, we decided to kick the pod up a gear and record it LIVE! We've also recorded a video podcast which you can find over on Life In The Peloton's Youtube channel - so make sure you go and give that a watch! Durbo, still riding high from his epic victory in Perth a few weeks back, kicks off the pod by talking us through his incredible ride that secured him the green and gold bands. It was a show of amazing team tactics, a little bit of luck, and a hell of a lot of hard work from Turbo Durbo - and it's awesome to get his insight on how the race played out. Obviously with the launch of MAAPs awesome collaboration with Jayco Alula, we discuss the new team kits in the peloton in ‘Pelo Chat'. We talk about how the style of the peloton has changed over the years, and how a good team kit can totally redefine a team's identity.  Tom's ‘Talking Tactics' segment dives into the new UCI rules that have changed the way riders will feed in the bunch this season. Trust me, it's way more interesting than it sounds, and will make a huge difference to team strategy this season.  Of course, it wouldn't be The Race Communiqué without the Communi-Quiz - a TDU special hosted by Southam.  I'm also stoked to announce that for the 2025 season, The Race Communiqué will be presented by TrainingPeaks. TrainingPeaks is a great piece of software for coaches, professional athletes, and amateurs alike that Tom, Luke, and I have all used religiously throughout our respective careers. It's great to have them on board helping bring The Race Communiqué to you guys this year.  Sit down, grab yourself a brew, and give this a listen; it's a great start to 2025.  Cheers!

Journey back to the height of summer and the Grand Départ in Florence with our Tour de France team of Mitch Docker, Richard Abraham and Graham Willgoss. They were there to witness Tadej Pogačar's domination, a record-breaking 35th stage win for Mark Cavendish, and a historic trio of stage wins for green jersey winner Biniam Girmay. They also endured the horror of ‘the kebab shop hotel', soaked up the sights, sounds and flavours of France, and almost ran out of gas before the Tour concluded in Nice.

It's beginning to look a lot like… a bumper Christmas episode from The Cycling Podcast Féminin. In the true style of an old Christmas TV special, this episode has a bit of everything: chat, music, cameos from a few familiar voices and of course the feared and revered Christmas quiz.  First up, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton pull out their favourite moments from an exhilarating and sometimes contentious year of cycling. The hosts are spoilt for choice in a season which saw the closest ever finish to a Tour de France, an Olympic road race which came down to the final kilometre and a Classics season which saw the spoils divided among comeback queens and breakthrough stars. Add to that more than a few moments of team in-fighting playing out on the road and the result is one of the best racing seasons in memory. Then Denny and Rebecca go head-to-head as we look to crown our 2024 Christmas quiz champion. There's a brand new round this year - the 'What's That Sound?' round to add to returning favourites 'Blankety Crank' and 'Cryptic Criterium'. And it wouldn't be our Christmas quiz without some squabbling, upset and a deterioration in professionalism from all involved. Also on the agenda: Mastermind board games, the Tour de Wandsworth and a Juliette Labous cocktail.

Giro 2022. Tom Dumoulin zit niet lekker in zijn vel en is al vrij snel kansloos voor het klassement. En ondanks dat 'ie absoluut niet mee wil zitten in etappe 7, zit 'ie toch mee. En hij is niet de enige Jumbo. Ook Koen Bouwman zit mee. Met een laatste krachtsinspanning loodst Dumoulin, Bouwman richting finish. Bouwman maakt het voortreffelijk af. Later die Giro laat Koen zien dat hij het ook alleen kan. Etappe 19 en de bollentrui zijn een feit. Een zaadje is geplant. Wat als hij wat vaker voor zichzelf mag rijden? Nu is het zover, hij gaat er voor bij Jayco Alula. Een mooi moment om nader kennis te maken...

Tom Pidcock is leaving INEOS Grenadiers at the end of the year, likely to join Q36.5. What does it mean for Pidcock, and what does it mean for his (potential) new team? Remco Evenepoel was injured in a crash with a mail truck and Jonny has invented a new quiz. Plus, Steve Cummings, a former INEOS rider and sports director, is joining Team Jayco AlUla. Cummings' press release throws some fantastic shade, while his tactical acumen will be a valuable asset to Jayco AlUla and its leader, Ben O'Connor.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Well, I don't know about you, but here at Life in the Peloton, we are still absolutely buzzing from yesterday's World Road Race Championships! I think we witnessed one of the greatest performances ever. I'm delighted to say that we've got a hot-off-the-press Communiqué pod for you. Joining me are Jayco Alula rider Luke Durbridge and EF Education EasyPost Sports Director Tom Southam. Together, we dissect the race faster than a group of Spanish commissaries heading to dinner… We couldn't wait to dive in and analyze the race, and what a race it was. As always, the Communiqué brings you our unique triple-pronged take on the event. I offer my armchair pundit's view of the action, which this time came from the commentary box in Australia, giving me a great vantage point. We've also got Durbo's ‘Pelo Chat' segment, where Luke explores interesting technical details and hot topics within the peloton, such as the impact of riders racing without radios and what that meant for the race. And of course, there's Tom's ‘Talking Tactics,' where we hear the DS perspective on the race's tactical intricacies, especially given the complexity of the national team format and how the peloton dealt with one of the greatest of all time. Just like a real communiqué wouldn't be complete without a page of fines, our Life in the Peloton Communiqué wouldn't be complete without a Communi-quiz. We have a special edition of that too. Don't wait for this one—grab your brew, sit back, and give it a listen. Cheers! Mitch ----more---- This episode is supported by our friends at The Escape Collective.

With the buzz of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift very much alive Rebecca Charlton is joined by more special guests this month to talk all things women's cycling. Her co-host this time is Olympian Lucy Martin. Having ridden at the highest level Lucy is now Communications Director of Jayco AlUla and Liv AlUla Jayco World Tour teams. We discuss her career, her role now, the progression of women into top roles in the sport and review the UCI Road World Championships which Lucy has commentated on seven times. We have an inspirational interview with Moroj Adi, the first Saudi woman to sign for a World Tour team. Finally we are joined by Shawn Clarke to look ahead at the world championships. So settle down with a coffee and enjoy! 

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP This episode is supported by our friends at The Escape Collective A little later than usual, but we are back this week with a hot-off-the-press Race Communiqué.  The Tour de France is the only race on the calendar where, myself and my two regular podcast guests, Luke Durbridge and Tom Southam are all on the ground at the same time.  After a month on the road doing our respective jobs at the race, we sat down and caught up on all of the action and shared our perspectives on the race.  While I was hitting the road every day with the press and sometimes doubling up doing the odd bidon hand up, Luke was guiding his team sprinter Dylan Groenewegen to his 6th TDF stage win for Jayco Alula, and Tom was behind the wheel of the team car helping Richard Carapaz and EF Education Easypost light up the race in the mountains in the final week.  It was an eventful race for all of us, and we wanted to catch up about the things that had stuck in our minds, from the great tactics, to the mood and the dynamics in the grupetto plus of course, plenty of insight on the things that you wouldn't have seen on TV or read about in the press.  This pod is always a fun one to make, but this one is packed with great stories, not to mention revealing our strategies for the Escape Collective Fantasy Tour, and of course, no Race Communiqué would be complete without a quiz.  Time to grab a cold one, and finally relax after an action packed month.  Cheers!  Mitch

El neerlandés Dylan Groenewegen, campeón nacional en ruta, brindó al Jayco Alula su primer éxito en el World Tour con una ajustada victoria al esprint en la sexta etapa del Tour de Francia, disputada entre Mâcon y Dijon, de 163,5 km, en la que mantuvo el maillot amarillo el esloveno Tadej Pogacar.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP In this week's episode of Life in the Peloton, I'm learning more about one of the most important parts of life; sleep. When I retired from the professional peloton a few years ago, we were already wearing sleep tracking devices and starting to tap into how we can improve our sleep and, therefore, our performance. Since then, professional cyclists have stepped it up another notch and are hunting out those 1% gains to help improve the quality & quantity of their sleep. I spoke to Dr. Ian Dunican - an expert on the topic - to find out more about how important sleep is, what we can do to get better quality sleep, and what happens to us if we neglect it. Dr Ian's a keen ultra distance swimmer and practices jiu jitsu, so he understands the importance of recovery and sleep better than most. We spoke about the increased societal awareness of sleep, and how humans today are so much busier than they were a few decades ago - stretching themselves even more thinly and putting even more onus on getting good quality shut eye to keep ourselves healthy. Sleep science is a relatively new discipline, and Dr Ian talked to me about the different phases and cycles of sleep, various sleep disorders that a huge percentage of the population struggle with, and seemingly minor environmental factors that can have a massive bearing on how well we're sleeping. I also wanted to know about sleep and pro cycling. Sometimes you're so tired from a stage race that no matter how long you sleep for you never feel truly wide awake. Dr Ian gave me some great tips about optimizing sleep around competition, and debunked a lot of popular myths around wearable devices and biohacking - which I found super eye opening. Next, I spoke to my old team mate; Lawson Craddock. Lawdog currently rides for Jayco AlUla and is one of the first riders I remember seeing pick up a wearable sleep tracking device and look more closely at his own sleep and what changes he could make to improve it. We spoke about how much things have changed in the pelo' in just a few years, and how things Lawson was doing earlier in his career have become the new normal amongst other pro riders. I was blown away by how much there is to learn about sleep, and what a massive difference it can make. I've always been someone who thinks they can get away with 5-6 hours sleep a night and still function pretty well throughout the day, but, after chatting to Dr Ian and Lawdog, I need to rethink my sleep schedule.

Lange war es ruhig im Inntal. Dann irgendwann hat man ihn wieder gesehen: auf unberührten Straßen hat er auch abseits von Asphalt neue Strecken entdeckt und die Lust am Rennen fahren wiedergefunden. Mit Lukas Pöstlberger ist alter Bekannter ist zurück im Besenwagen. Nach 7 Jahren beim Team Bora-Hansgrohe und einer Saison bei Jayco-Alula gab es 2024 für den Klassikerspezialist unerwartete Veränderungen.

In the May episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton look back over the recent Spanish stage racing from the comfort of their own cabaña. Questions may have hung over Demi Vollering's form after a consistent if lacklustre run in the Spring Classics, but the SD Worx rider answered in no uncertain manner with three dominant performances across the Vuelta Femenina, Itzulia Women and Vuelta a Burgos. Some unexpected rivals emerged though, most notably Evita Muzic who is priming herself to be France's great hope at this year's Tour de France Femmes. The team also discuss a huge comeback win for Lotta Henttala at the Vuelta a Burgos, her first victory in over five years after struggles with both her physical and mental health. This month's feature visits the topic of latecomers to the sport. These are riders who make the jump from regular jobs to elite racing careers in their late 20s and 30s. We hear from Jayco-Alula's Mavi Garcia, Movistar's Mareille Meijering and Coop-Repsol's Monica Greenwood about their journeys into cycling and the peculiar life lessons they've learned along the way.

This is a short excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. In this month's Chronicles Sveino and I have gone for probably our deepest dive yet - back to where we first got to know each other, taking a look at the formation of Australia's first ever World Tour cycling team, GreenEDGE.  Most of you will know the team - which is now known as Jayco Alula, already, and many of you may remember those first few years and big wins. These days it's easy to take it for granted but when this team arrived in Europe it was fresh and very new, and it delivered right from the start - taking out thirty races, including Milan San Remo with Simon Gerrans in its first year of existence!  As well as performing on the road the team had an amazing presence with guys like Dan Jones working to create the image of a real Australian team, and having a lot of fun along the way with a few unconventional ideas - like that infamous ‘Call Me Maybe' video from 2012.  For myself as an Australian being part of a team like GreenEdge was huge. It was as close as you could come outside of the World Championships to racing for Australia. The team represented a country and a culture, and for the international riders on the team like Sveino it was a chance to be brought in to the Aussie way and to be a part of a really special team.  As riders we had both experienced the team from the inside, and it played a huge role in our careers, so for this episode we wanted to really get behind the scenes and understand how the team was built, what was the idea behind it, and how and why it worked the way it did. We wanted to cover all angles and hear about the parts that even we didn't see or understand at the time.  We were lucky to get hold of the son of the founder and the man who helped make it all work, Andrew Ryan, as well as head DS Matt White, star riders Simon Gerrans and Daryl Impey and our good mate Luke Durbridge who is now in his thirteenth pro season with the team. On top of all of that we spoke to the man behind bringing a lot of that fun hardworking (occasionally pie-eating) Australian culture videographer Dan Jones.  Of course, Sveino and I also chip in with our own stories and experiences riding for and being a part of the team.  This is a really special episode for myself and for Sveino. GreenEDGE formed a huge part of our racing career and there are so many memories there that this was a real gift to be able to record. We both really hope that it comes through to you guys and you take the time to give it a listen, it's a big one but it's a good one!  Cheers! Mitch 

Well, we are coming towards the end of an absolutely action-packed month of pro racing, which can mean only one thing; it's time for another Race Communiqué! As you all know by now, this is my chance to dive back into the pro peloton with current Jayco-Alula rider, and former teammate, Luke Durbridge and my former DS (and even teammate - way, way back in the day!) EF Education - Easypost D.S. Tom Southam.  Both Tom and Luke have just arrived back from the Ardennes where they each had their own take to share about their experiences there. Luke can tell us what is like to race one of the most epic Flèche Walloons in recent history in freezing snow and ice, and Tom can tell us all about his struggles to get the heating just right while he was sat back in the comfort of the team car! In all seriousness, it was a crazy week of racing to wrap up the Classics and we had a great chat about the experiences at the Ardennes whilst wrapping up what we saw earlier in the month at the Cobbled Classics.  As well as the racing chat we have our usual segments, with Luke putting his theory on the table that the days of the old-school feed zones are over for good, and Tom gives us a rare glimpse at one of the most important parts of some real race communiques: UCI fines, who is getting what and why - you may be surprised to hear what goes on back there!  With the Giro only a few weeks away we also took some time to preview the upcoming action in Italy, as well as start to get ourselves ready for the Escape Collective's Fantasy Competition, which we will all be taking part in next month in the special Life in the Peloton league which you can of course join and take all three of us on whilst the race is going.  Catching up with these guys is always so much fun, and even though I don't miss the stress of getting rain jackets or feedbags in the races, I do I love hearing the insight as to how the peloton keeps evolving.  Sit back, relax and enjoy.  Cheers,  Mitch

It's full gas racing season in Europe, so I've been really looking forward to catching up with Luke & Tom for what I knew would be a pretty action-packed Race Communiqué! The boys have been on very different schedules; Luke has been with Jayco-Alula at Paris-Nice and then on to the cobbled classics, which he dialled in from this week. Meanwhile, Tom is on the Ardennes program with EF Education - Easypost (obviously avoiding having to drive his car over cobbles) in stage races in Spain and Italy.    For my part, I've been loving spectating and seeing the races that used to make up such a big part of my season from the comfort of my armchair at home. It's a different view from the outside, so it was great to catch up with these two and get the inside line on what is happening in the pelo at the moment. As usual, I take us through the races from the past month and get some insight on how things went down on the road, and what we all think that means for the big races that are coming up. Luke has some fascinating insight into race nutrition plans, and how riders are currently working to fuel in races whilst also keeping track of their race weight. I found this section fascinating, as it is eye-opening how much the sport has moved on in the short space of time since I retired. In Tom's segment, we go behind some of the more impressive tactical moves that he's noted down this spring, and there is even time for a gripe about UCI fines! It wouldn't be the Race Communiqué without our famous quiz and this month it was Tom's turn to be quiz master, pitting Luke and I against each other in a Classics death match quiz – with a cricketing twist! This was a real blast to make and I'm sure you guys are gonna enjoy it too! Cheers, Mitch

Lawson Craddock grew up in the flatland of Houston but fought his way onto the WorldTour feeder team Trek-Livestrong when he was still a teenager. After turning pro three years later, he raced for Giant-Shimano, Cannondale, and his current team, Jayco–AlUla. In his 10 years in the WorldTour, he's taken podiums at the Vuelta, won the Time Trial National Championships in back-to-back years, and had a standout performance at the 2018 Tour de France, but not for the usual reasons.Lawson caught up with Payson in Spain last week to reminisce about racing together in Texas as teenagers and his subsequent move to Europe and into the WorldTour. He talks about how getting pulled from the Vuelta in his first year in the pro peloton gave him extra fuel for a triumphant return the next year, and how a relentless training plan mandated by his team nearly derailed his momentum. He also details his viral performance at the 2018 Tour de France. After fracturing his scapula in the first stage, he went on the complete every remaining stage and raise $380k for his hometown velodrome in Houston which was damaged by Hurricane Harvey. Now in his early 30s and raising a young family, Lawson talks about whether he plans to move back home to Texas and whether he finally intends to fulfill his childhood dream of joining the family roofing business.Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

Chronicles is a new podcast that I'm excited to be bringing as exclusive member content for 2024. This is a short excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo.  For this series, I've got together with my good friend and former team (and room) mate Svein Tuft. As a few of you will know, ‘Sveino' is a fascinating guy, with a unique perspective on pretty much any subject out there.  Both Svein and I love to dive into new topics – take them apart and discuss ideas, theories, and trends from every possible angle. Back in our racing days, we would spend hours - in the saddle or hotel rooms, chewing over ideas, challenging each other, and looking at ways to learn and develop our understanding of the sport.  This is what we wanted to recreate with Chronicles. It's a chance for us to get together and get stuck into the topics that interest us in and around pro cycling. We'll be listening to people's stories, asking questions, doing the research, and gathering the information that allows us and you to get to grips with these key parts of the sport and the wider culture of pro cycling.  First up, this month we started with a question that we have both been looking for the answer to: how do you turn professional?  This was something that jumped out at us when we thought: why us? How did we make it, and not others? What did we do so differently or well? Or was it just luck?  To unpack this subject, we wanted to get as many angles of the conversation as possible, and we have a whole host of people with a range of opinions and expertise.  We kick things off with a man who wrote the book, ‘How to Become a Pro Cyclist', Jack Burke and asked the question, if turning pro really is something that you can engineer, or if it's too random even for people who ‘get' how the system works?  Svein spoke to a key figure in the US racing scene Jonas Carney, the former manager of Human Powered Health, to discuss what a team looks for when selecting riders, whilst I spoke to my old boss Matt White of Jayco Alula about how teams work with agents to find new talent.  Sticking inside the teams, we also caught up with Sebastian Langeveld from EF Education Easypost who oversees scouting riders for EF and asked him if it was all numbers and data these days or if there is such a thing as the X factor.  We also spoke to two current riders, James Whelan of Q36.5 and Riley Sheehan of Israel Premier Tech, who gave us opposing stories of what happens when you get to the World Tour too easily and how hard it can be to have to battle through the ranks.  Just as we hoped there was so much great stuff that we could get stuck into here, turning pro and how you do it is a massive topic that certainly doesn't have a simple answer. And as always with Svein, the fun part was exploring the subject! Have a listen as we do our best to understand all about it.  Cheers! Mitch

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Welcome to the first Communiqué for the 2024 season! First off, I'm delighted to say that my good mates Luke Durbridge and Tom Southam are back with me for another year. If you haven't heard it yet, the Communiqué is our pro racing specific podcast, and I couldn't think of a couple of better guys to have on board to get some great insight into the races. As well as being good friends of mine these two have years of experience in pro cycling with Luke currently racing for Jayco Alula and Tom who is a DS at EF Education Easypost. All through the racing season we will be diving inside the pelo with Luke, hearing the view from the team cars from Tom and, of course, I'll be providing my own armchair style take on the racing! For this first episode we've got an early season theme. After a good few weeks at home Luke is well settled in Perth, getting ready to start racing without having done any racing back in Australia – something he's – amazingly – never actually tried before! He reflects on the difference between starting early at races like TDU or kicking off in the more traditional European style. We discuss our thoughts on the way that the top riders tackle the off-season these days (or don't!). He also has some cracking tales from his legendary local bunchie - which I'll leave for you to enjoy.  I've been on the ground at the Tour Down Under of course, and I'll bring you up to speed with the latest racing news, as well as a few of the things that grabbed my attention at the first World Tour race of the season. It's also been a busy period for Tom, who was DS-ing the early season Australian races. He takes us a bit deeper into the world of the DS and talks about some of the tactical detail of the recent races, as well as getting our thoughts on the why recently retired riders do so well in the team car.  It was really great to get things going again making this pod. We all love the racing, whether we are doing it ourselves, talking about it, or even just watching and reading about it. Getting back together and getting into talking about the races was really exciting after the short break. Let's hope it's the start of a big year to come. Sit back, relax and have a listen to The Communiqué. Cheers! Mitch

JB Hager, Johan Bruyneel, and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter briefly break down how Israel-Premier Tech's Stephen Williams won the Tour Down Under, what Bora and Sam Welsford's sprinting dominance means for the rest of the season, and why Jayco-Alula underperformed at their home race, before getting into the breakout performance from UAE's 20-year-old Isaac del Toro, who won a stage and finished on the overall podium in his first career WorldTour outing. Afterward, they discuss Sunday's epic showdown between Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, and Tom Pidcock at the Benidorm Cyclocross World Cup in Spain, which produced what will likely be the defining race of the 2023/2024 CX season.

When, midway through last year's Tour de France, Caleb Ewan ‘celebrated' his 29th birthday, in fact far from rejoicing, the Aussie sprinter was enduring some of the most difficult days of his career - out of form and out of favour with his Lotto-Dstny team, so much so that his boss, Stéphane Heulot, would respond to Ewan quitting La Grande Boucle by questioning his professionalism.  Ewan's relationship with Lotto looked irredeemably broken - and indeed, three months later, Jayco-Alula announced that they and Ewan were to reunite in 2024. Another three months have now passed since that news broke - and Ewan is finally ready to set the record straight, as he did in this in-depth interview with The Cycling Podcast on the eve of The Tour Down Under: on why he and Heulot never hit it off; on whether, as reports suggested last summer, he even contemplated retirement; and, most importantly, on his new beginning with the team where for him it all started.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Science in Sport.

In this week's episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and ace commentator Rob Hatch examine one venerable Italian cycling institution's latest iteration - the newly revealed 2024 Giro d'Italia route - and look at the brightest, most ambitious upstart on the same nation's racing calendar: Filippo Pozzato and his races in the Veneto.  We deliver our own assessment of a noticeably less lofty-than-usual ‘Corsa Rosa' route before hearing Jayco-AlUla head DS Matt White's verdict. We, or rather Daniel, then literally travels to Italy to find out how Pozzato is trying to shake up an ageing, ailing Italian scene - and why he may need a bit more help from the Giro itself.  In the final part of the podcast, we reflect on the predicament of the many riders who find themselves jobless at the end of the 2023 season - and one in particular, the Ethiopian Tsgabu Grmay. He tells Daniel that, while his present plight looks bleak, his dreams and inner fire are very much still alive.
