Podcast appearances and mentions of kasia niewiadoma

View This Week's Show NotesWe're back from one of the most bonkers trips of our lives. Juliet and I just finished hiking the Haute Route, the classic alpine traverse from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland, roughly 90 miles over 10 days with our daughters Georgia and Caroline. Caroline's senior trip. Years of mental infiltration paid off.Neither of us trained specifically for it. I spent the spring managing a torn ACL and calf. I skipped the surgery because we had this trip on the calendar, and I wasn't willing to miss it. Somewhere around day eight or nine on the trail, my knee actually started to feel better. That's the thing about movement as medicine: there's no substitute for the reps.The trip had other highlights. We've been telling Georgia since she was three that we would someday find wild Edelweiss in the Alps. On day four, crossing one of the high passes, she spotted a patch. She actually cried. It was one of the best moments of my life.We also dig into the news that Thorne, one of the most trusted names in supplement quality, has been acquired by Procter & Gamble for $3.8 billion, and why this deal raises real questions worth watching.Then there's the Tour de France Femme and Kasia Niewiadoma's historic climb on Mont Ventoux: 5.3 watts per kilo for 55 minutes. We talk about the coverage problem, the naming problem, and why this race deserves far more than it's currently getting.We close out with GLP-1 Watch: new data on cancer risk reduction, dementia, addiction disorders, and which grocery category is taking the biggest hit. Spoiler: it's chips.New episodes of The Ready State Podcast drop every Thursday.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat the Haute Route is and why it's one of the great alpine treks in the worldHow Kelly completed 10 days of hiking in Switzerland months after tearing his ACL and choosing not to have surgeryWhy going uphill is easy and the downhill will humble you, and what "tissue exposure" means for how you prepare for a big adventureThe story behind finding wild Edelweiss on a high alpine pass and why Georgia cried when she spotted itWhat Thorne's $3.8 billion acquisition by Procter & Gamble means for supplement quality, and what to actually watch forWhy Kasia Niewiadoma's 5.3 watts per kilo for 55 minutes on Mont Ventoux is one of the most extraordinary athletic performances in recent memoryWhat the current GLP-1 research shows about cancer risk, dementia, and addiction, and why all of it still needs to be taken with real cautionWhy where your GLP-1 is compounded matters and what the black market problem looks likeKey Highlights: (00:00) Welcome back to RECESS, and a recap of the hippo attack episode and puppet theater(01:30) Introducing the Haute Route: Chamonix to Zermatt, and how Caroline's senior trip idea came to be(02:22) The scale of the Swiss Alps: glaciers, wildflower valleys, and a moonscape where a glacier used to be(02:41) Meeting hikers at the mountain hut who ask "Have you been training for this?"(03:12) The bonkers 8-hour day: two 10,000-foot passes, extreme terrain, and extreme views(03:50) The $500 Edelweiss bounty, day four on the trail, and Georgia's emotional discovery(05:51) Fit but not prepared for the downhill: what tissue exposure means and why the kneecaps paid the price(06:07) Kelly's "sprain plus": tearing his ACL and calf in February and deciding to skip surgery for this trip(07:38) Working the plan: movement, swelling management, and a knee that improved over 10 days of hiking(09:45) The family dimension: hiking as a unit of four, bird launchers, and the mountain bike trike side trip(10:50) Thorne acquired by Procter & Gamble for $3.8 billion: what it means for supplement quality(12:12) Why NSF Certified for Sport matters and the precedent of P&G's 2012 New Chapter acquisition(14:28) Tour de France Femme: Kasia Niewiadoma's historic climb on Mont Ventoux(17:40) The coverage problem: Peacock picking up halfway, and why this race needs Phil Liggett on the mic(18:53) What 5.3 watts per kilo for 55 minutes actually means (and why you should try your local bike)(19:47) GLP-1 Watch: grocery data from 150,000 households, chips down 10%, and yogurt on the rise(24:18) GLP-1 and cancer: Penn Medicine study, breast cancer data, and why these are still observational studies(25:53) GLP-1 and dementia: 40–70% lower risk across large studies, and what the mechanisms might be(25:56) The caveats: observational data, socioeconomic skew, compounding quality, and the black market problem(26:32) GLP-1 and addiction: alcohol, cocaine, nicotine disorders, and rewiring the brain's reward center(28:20) What are we living for: Caroline's college move-in, the river trip, and whether Kelly needs an ACL for ski season

Plus, you'll get ad free listening, a weekly Applied show, and a community that argues better than the internet does!Show notesOn the show today, the physiology behind the best women's Grand Tour we can remember, and a doping ban that fits a pattern we have seen many times before.(00:01:00) The Tour de France Femmes was, we think, the best Grand Tour either of us has watched in years, and we explore the nine stages of unpredictable racing that had us intrigued, even if the record will show that Demi Vollering won four of them.(00:05:56) Kasia Niewiadoma's ride on Mont Ventoux, at somewhere between 5.3 and 5.6 W/kg for the climb, is arguably the greatest climbing performance in the history of women's cycling, and we place it against the published power duration curves to show just how far outside the 90th percentile it sits.(00:17:19) Niewiadoma also posted 9.9 W/kg for 86 seconds, and from that single Strava screenshot we work out her FTP and her W', the anaerobic "battery", which lets us answer the question everyone argued about, namely whether being blocked into that corner actually cost her time to rival Vollering. We think the answer is unequivocally yes, and the maths and the principle of pacing explains why.(00:25:50) Praise for Puck Pieterse, sympathy for Marlen Reusser and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and a wonder about the 'mature' podium, and the prospect of a handover to the next generation in good time, just not 'our time'(00:41:41) The World U20 Championships, where a 17 year old ran 7:28 solo for 3000m, Tate Taylor doubled up in 9.94 and 19.83, and the ever-turning carousel of youth talent that is sometimes derailed by injury and sometimes deposed by the next young phenom(00:45:46) Jakob Ingebrigtsen returns and wins the European 5000m title in 13:16, off a slow race that played into his hands, and he explains, correctly, that a 5000m is not a test of speed but of how much speed you have left. He also promises he'll be "astonishingly a lot better" next time.(00:52:32) Jonah Koech gets a three year ban after an adverse passport finding. We explain how the biological passport actually works, why two suspicious samples means the values must have been wildly out of the norm, and why his 3.2% improvement should have invited scepticism long before the blood results did. Performance is not proof, but pattern recognition lives on, with this its latest illustration.(01:07:46) The WNBA has no eligibility policy, so two former NBA players have declared for the women's draft to prove the point. We discuss why choosing not to decide is itself a decision, how people are choosing to pretend a problem doesn't exist (or that it doesn't matter if it does), and contrast this with the WTA who have implemented screening for eligibility, and just gotten on with it(01:15:29) And finally, the origins of the steeplechase, which begins with two blokes, an Irish pub, a wager, and two church steeples. Plus a nutritionist on social media who watched 96 seconds and decided we had lost all credibility. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

L'ultime bataille de Tour de France Femmes 2026 a tenu ses promesses. Le duel entre Demi Vollering et Kasia Niewiadoma sur le Col d'Èze a tourné en faveur de la Néerlandaise qui lâche la Polonaise sur la dernière ascension au-dessus de Nice et s'impose sur la Promenade des Anglais. Une victoire qui permet d'asseoir définitivement sa domination sur le Tour de France. Un Tour qui a mal terminé pour Marlen Reusser, troisième au départ de l'étape, qui a chuté dans le descente vers la cité des Anges et a perdu le podium au profit d'Elisa Longo-Borghini. Quelques minutes après l'arrivée, les équipes du "Peloton RMC" et de l'Intégrale Tour proposent les toutes premières réactions et le débrief de cette édition 2026 avec Maria Azé et Pierre Thévenet, envoyés spéciaux RMC sur le Tour, Camille Fahy, consultante cyclisme RMC, et Yohan Bredow à la présentation.

Com diferenças irrisórias na Classificação Geral, a etapa deste sábado teve cara de clássica - mais precisamente, de Milano-San Remo: controlada no começo e alucinante no final

Après la victoire de Demi Vollering, à Nice, et la prise du maillot jaune par la Néerlandaise, à la veille de l'arrivée finale sur la Promenade des Anglais, Marion Rousse, directrice du Tour de France Femmes, est l'invitée de l'Intégrale Sport avec Maria Azé et Pierre Thévenet, envoyés spéciaux RMC sur le Tour, et Camille Fahy, consultante cyclisme RMC, Christophe Pleynet et Yohan Huget.

Le Tour de France Femmes 2026 a donné - encore un fois - un scénario fou dans le final de l'étape entre Sisteron et Nice. A la veille de l'arrivée, Demi Vollering a tout fait exploser dans la dernière côte avant la Promenade des Anglais et lâché Kasia Niewiadoma pour s'imposer sur la Baie des Anges et prendre le maillot jaune pour huit petites secondes. Un coup de force de la Néerlandaise, alors qu'une étape compliquée - avec quatre fois le Col d'Èze - attend les coureuses ce dimanche. Maria Azé et Pierre Thévenet, envoyés spéciaux RMC sur le Tour, et Camille Fahy, consultante cyclisme RMC, débriefent l'étape du jour dans l'"Intégrale Sport" de Christophe Pleynet et Yohan Huget.

Alweer een spektakelrit in de Tour de France Femmes. Demi Vollering wacht niet op de laatste etappe, maar gaat vandaag al vol gas. Ze kraakt Kasia Niewiadoma en verdedigt morgen op de slotdag een voorsprong van acht seconden. En: we hebben een rel! Volgens Niewiadoma werd ze op de laatste klim gehinderd door een ploeggenote van Vollering. Frans kampioene Célia Gery zou de geletruidraagster bewust de hekken hebben ingereden. Niewiadoma verloor daardoor een paar posities en moest in de achtervolging op Vollering. De beelden waren niet op televisie te zien, maar werden later alsnog gedeeld. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel bespreekt Niek Goedvolk dit moment met Roxane Knetemann en verslaggever Maarten Teunisse. Deed Gery dit bewust? Wat was de impact op Niewiadoma? En wat had de jury moeten doen? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mal wieder geht ein Plan komplett auf - diesmal der von Demi Vollering. Ihre Vollgas-Attacke am letzten Anstieg vor Nizza bringt sie ins gelbe Trikot. Aber kommt Kasia Niewiadoma auf der Schlussetappe rund um Nizza noch einmal zurück?

Lance, Ali, and Mari break down an explosive Stage 7 on Mont Ventoux, where Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney launched a decisive attack, distancing Demi Vollering and Marlen Reusser to claim her first-ever Tour de France Femmes stage victory and take the yellow jersey. The crew analyzes what happened to Demi on the climb and how today's shakeup sets the stage for a thrilling GC battle heading toward the finale in Nice.

A etapa rainha do Tour entregou um dia fantástico de disputa pela Camisa Amarela, com Kasia Niewiadoma levando a melhor e invertendo completamente o pódio provisório da competição. Reusser e Vollering se marcaram e acabaram perdendo tempo juntas, o que deve obrigá-las a partir para o ataque nos últimos dois dias.Tota fala um pouco sobre a abordagem das adversárias e como a equipe está se organizando para tentar recuperar a liderança. Confira!

L'étape reine du Tour de France a couronné Kasia Niewiadoma. La Polonaise, victorieuse du Tour 2024, a lâché Marlen Reusser et Demi Vollering sur les pentes du Mont Ventoux et fait coup double : étape et maillot jaune, à deux jours de l'arrivée à Nice. Les trois coureuses se trouvent dans un mouchoir de poche : 39 secondes. Du côté des Françaises, Cédrine Kerbaol a résisté et conserve sa place dans le top 10, Marion Bunel s'est accrochée et Pauline Ferrand-Prévot a explosé. Maria Azé et Pierre Thévenet, envoyés spéciaux RMC sur le Tour, et Camille Fahy, consultante cyclisme RMC, débriefent l'étape du jour dans l'"Intégrale Tour" avec Yohan Bredow.

Niet Demi Vollering, niet Marlen Reusser, maar Kasia Niewiadoma staat na de Mont Ventoux in de gele trui. Terwijl er achter haar flink wordt gepokerd, rijdt de Poolse naar een schitterende ritzege. Als Vollering eindelijk versnelt, is het eigenlijk al te laat. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel bespreekt Niek Goedvolk met Roxane Knetemann en verslaggever Maarten Teunisse het rijden van Vollering. Heeft ze te veel gepokerd? Had ze meteen mee moeten springen met Niewiadoma? Of kon ze simpelweg niet beter? Dat laatste lijkt gezien haar snelle slotkilometer haast ondenkbaar, al speelde de wind vandaag ook een grote rol. Luister en discussieer mee onder de aflevering!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kasia Niewiadoma dominiert die Königinnenetappe zum Mont Ventoux - eine taktische Meisterleistung. Die Toursiegerin von 2024 überholt damit Demi Vollering und Marlen Reusser im Gesamtklassement und wird auf dem Weg nach Nizza zur Gejagten in Gelb.

Deportes 06/08/26: La neerlandesa Demi Vollering ganó en Belleville-en-Beaujolais la quinta etapa del Tour de Francia, al imponerse al esprint a la suiza Marlen Reusser, que conservó el maillot amarillo, y a la polaca Kasia Niewiadoma.Escucha SBS Spanish / Australia en español:Por radio o Internet 7 días a la semana de 1:00 a 2:pm (AEST)Escucha también por Apple Podcasts, Spotify y YouTubeExplora nuestra extensa colección de podcasts haciendo clic aquíEn redes: síguenos en Facebook e Instagram.

Een nieuwe In Het Wiel over de veerkracht van Kim Le Court en de grinta die bij Elisa Longo Borghini veranderde in dommigheid, maar bovenal over de mythische Mont Ventoux. Niek Goedvolk blikt met Roxane Knetemann en verslaggever Maarten Teunisse vooruit op de koninginnenrit. Welke favoriete ligt de Ventoux het beste? Op welk deel van de klim moet Demi Vollering toeslaan tegen Marlen Reusser? Kan Reusser nog terugkomen als ze gelost wordt? En waar staat Kasia Niewiadoma in dit verhaal? Je hoort het in deze aflevering, waarin Rox ook vertelt over haar eigen ervaring met de monsterklim. Spoiler: ze voelde zich intens gelukkig op de dag dat ze hem opfietste.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kim Le Court refuses to let her Tour de France Femmes slip away, producing an extraordinary comeback to win Stage 6 after a day where almost everything seemed to go against her.After being dropped, suffering a mechanical, burning matches to return to the peloton and then bridging across to the decisive break with Riejanne Markus, Le Court still had enough left to attack, chase again and somehow find one final gear in the sprint to beat Puck Pieterse and Cédrine Kerbaol.Tils, Verita and Sarah Gigante break down the countless sliding-door moments that made the victory possible, AG Insurance's complete commitment to Le Court, the sprint decisions that shaped the finish and Elisa Longo Borghini's puzzling tactics from the break.Then attention turns to the Queen Stage and the Tour de France Femmes debut of Mont Ventoux. With Marlen Reusser holding just 12 seconds over Demi Vollering, Kasia Niewiadoma lurking, brutal heat and crosswinds in the forecast, the race is perfectly poised for the Giant of Provence.Plus, Verita reports back after conquering L'Étape du Tour de France Femmes, riding much of the same course the professionals will face on Ventoux.The Domestiques Daily Tour de France Femmes is powered by Black Sheep and Join Cycling.Build your personalised cycling or running plan free for 30 days at join.cc/domestiques.Use code DOMESTIQUES for 20% off Black Sheep.

Lance, Ali, and Mari break down an action-packed Stage 5, where Demi Vollering outsprinted Kasia Niewiadoma and Marlen Reusser to claim the victory. The crew examines Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's continued decline at this year's Tour and what could be causing her struggles, weighs in on the ongoing "bra-maxxing" drama, and previews the relentless climbing awaiting the peloton in a very hilly Stage 6.

The Tour de France Femmes delivers a pure spring classic, with eight categorised climbs, relentless attacking and a brutal battle that tears the general classification apart.Demi Vollering finishes off a complete FDJ team performance to win the stage, while Marlen Reusser remains ice-cold under pressure and retains the yellow jersey by just 12 seconds. Kasia Niewiadoma reminds everyone why she can never be overlooked, taking third and moving onto the provisional podium.Behind them, the damage is enormous. Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Anna van der Breggen, Kim Le Court and Elisa Longo Borghini all lose ground as the race becomes a zombie march toward the finish. Tils, Verita and Sarah Gigante unpack FDJ's tactics, the decisive breakaway and the descending skills that separated the best riders in the race.The team also examines the shifting UAE leadership battle, Antonia Niedermaier and Isabella Holmgren's fight for white, the strange disappearance of neutral service bottles in extreme heat, and whether the GC contenders can recover before Mont Ventoux.Plus, Sarah explains exactly what she wants to hear through the radio during a time trial, and why too much encouragement can sometimes make things worse.The Domestiques Daily Tour de France Femmes is powered by Black Sheep and Join Cycling.

Get the waffle-o-meter out for one last time as Rose Manley and Lizzy Banks react to the the final Spring Classic of 2026, Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes.With the Ardennes Classics providing both surprise winners and familiar champions so far this season, which way will this tenth edition of Liège-Bastogne-Liège go? Could breakout star Paula Blasi go for victory once more this week? Might Demi Vollering make it a record-breaking third title at the race? Or could Kasia Niewiadoma finally take the top step after a season littered with podiums?Also on the agenda: a picnic's worth of puns and Preston Bus Station… obviously.

Na dertig jaar koersdirecteur te zijn geweest, eindigde deze glorieuze periode voor Leo van Vliet afgelopen zondag met de gedroomde winnaar in Remco Evenepoel. In een sprint-a-deux klopte de Belg de winnaar van vorig jaar Mattias Skjelmose. Bij de vrouwen was er een daverende verrassing met het Spaanse talent Paula Blasi, die de jagende Demi Vollering en Kasia Niewiadoma achter zich wist te houden. We blikten terug op een prachtige koersdag met de man die afscheid nam en in Tom Dumoulin vanaf komend jaar zijn opvolger heeft, namelijk Leo van Vliet zelf. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Nadat Le Samyn dinsdag het (verlengde) Openingsweekend helemaal afsloot, zijn alle vizieren op Strade Bianche gericht. Zaterdag vechten de tenoren op de Italiaanse grindwegen fikse duels uit, waarbij de vrouwenkoers bol staat van de spanning en het bij de mannen waarschijnlijk uitdraait op een one-team-show. Maar er is nog veel, heel veel meer. Je hoort het in de nieuwe WielerFlits Podcast!ADVERTENTIE | Deze aflevering wordt gevoed door MNSTRY. Ontvang 20% korting op je eerste Tasting Box met de code WIELERFLITS20 en ontdek waarom sportvoeding geen keuze hoeft te zijn tussen prestaties op de fiets en je gezondheid daarbuiten. Ga vandaag nog naar MNSTR.COM⁠.We staan uitgebreid stil bij de machtsverhoudingen in de komende Strade Bianche. Uiteraard is Tadej Pogačar de te kloppen man, maar met Tom Pidcock en de piepjonge Paul Seixas - van wie er een uitgebreid profiel te horen is in deze aflevering - zijn er wel een aantal uitdagers die het hem lastig kunnen maken. Ook in Pogačars eigen ploeg zitten serieuze kanshebbers. Wat te denken van Isaac Del Toro en Jan Christen? Beiden zijn enorm goed in vorm. Daarnaast zijn er ook nog mannen als Matteo Jorgenson en Wout van Aert, als ook debutant Tibor Del Grosso.Mathieu van der Poel ontbreekt en dat heeft vooral met de vele hoogtemeters te maken. Dat is ook de reden waarom de Sloveense wereldkampioen de huizenhoge topfavoriet bij de mannen is. Bij de vrouwen steekt dat helemaal anders in elkaar. Ja, Demi Vollering - die de nadrukkelijke interesse van Red Bull geniet - kan voor een derde keer winnen. Maar met onder meer Elisa Longo Borghini, Kasia Niewiadoma, Kim Le Court, Lotte Kopecky, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Anna van der Breggen, Marianne Vos én Puck Pieterse zijn de toppers meer dan aan elkaar gewaagd.In deze aflevering hoor je verder dus een uitgebreid profiel over het nieuwe Franse wonderkind Paul Seixas, zit er volgens Youri een heel andere theorie achter het ‘akkefietje' na de finish van Omloop Het Nieuwsblad tussen Mathieu van der Poel, Tim van Dijke en Florian Vermeersch, nemen we de sterkste Nederlanders uit het Openingsweekend nog even kort onder de loep en was Maxim bij de presentatie van de nieuwe crossploeg van Laurens ten Dam en onze collega's van de Live Slow Ride Fast-podcast. Kortom: heel veel redenen om te luisteren de WF Podcast!

Endlich wieder Klassiker! In der neuen Folge sprechen Bent und Lukas über die Rennen der vergangenen Woche. Im Fokus steht das Opening Weekend, mit dem traditionell die Klassikersaison eröffnet wurde. Sowohl beim Omloop Nieuwsblad, als auch Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne wurde alles geboten, was das Radsportherz begehrt - Wind, Regen und Kopfsteinpflaster. Geprägt wurden die Rennen von Stürzen, spannender Taktik und den Superstars wie Mathieu van der Poel, Demi Vollering oder Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney. Der Blick geht außerdem nach Frankreich, Rwanda und Sardinien, wo der Radsportzirkus ebenfalls in der vergangenen Woche Halt machte. Vor allem in Frankreich machte ein Jahrhunderttalent erneut von sich Reden.

Mathieu van der Poel schiet direct raak bij zijn debuut in Omloop het Nieuwsblad, maar misschien blijft zijn ongelofelijke uitwijkmanoeuvre van vandaag nog wel het meest bij. Hoe hij het doet weet niemand, maar MVDP blijft op miraculeuze overeind na een valpartij van landgenoot Rick Pluimers. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel raken Niek Goedvolk en Roxane Knetemann niet uitgepraat over de actie, wat meteen het beslissende moment in koers bleek. Maar waarom bleef Florian Vermeersch toch steeds overnemen, om er later op de Muur kansloos afgereden te worden? Tim van Dijke pakte het iets slimmer aan, terwijl zijn ploeg Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe sowieso heel goed voor de dag kwam. Is dat nu al het Roxane Knetemann-effect? Demi Vollering zette net als Van der Poel een vinkje op haar bingokaart. Weliswaar niet bij haar debuut, maar wel voor het eerst een zege in de Omloop. Hier was het niet Vermeersch, maar Kasia Niewiadoma die wel een heel fijne bondgenoot was. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, Robyn (and James, but just for the intro) is joined by Kasia Niewiadoma Phinney, winner of the 2024 Tour de France Femmes and all-round star rider at Canyon–SRAM zondacrypto. That is, Kasia can win stage races, one day races, Classics, national titles, World titles... you name it, the Polish ace has a trophy and a jersey for it. Here, Kasia candidly talks about dealing with disappointment at this year's TDFF, where she finished third, her evolving definitions of success, her fearlessness as a rider, her hopes for the upcoming World Championships in Rwanda and the legacy she hopes she and her fellow riders will leave future generations of cyclists.

Chef Biju Thomas made a major impact on cycling when he co-founded Skratch Labs with his friend Allen Lim, but these days, you're most likely to find him cooking for cyclists at large events. For example, he was part of the squad that fueled the US cycling team at the Paris Olympics last summer. More recently, he was busy making several thousand meals at Sea Otter. Biju sat down with Payson in Bentonville to chat about the logistics of cooking for Olympic athletes from such different disciplines of the sport, why meal times were so important for the riders to grow as a team, and what it was like watching them win so many medals. He also answers some listener questions, talks about his favorite moment at Sea Otter, and explains why he has Kasia Niewiadoma's Little Sugar trophy on his windowsill.Watch episode 2 of Ride With Pace here: https://youtu.be/3rMbJDoCxeQ?si=-gZU8TtFSrBa46PZGet tickets for the premiere of 'Crossing New Zealand' here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/crossing-new-zealand-film-premier-and-social-ride-tickets-1350916600919?aff=oddtdtcreatorInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen

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.

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.

Loren, Gracie, and Abby are back this week for the last episode of the year. We chat about Demi Vollering joining FDJ-Suez, what that means for the French team and how they might divide leadership between the Dutchwoman, Evita Muzic, and Juliette Labous. We also reflect on our favorite moments of the season including Grace Brown's Olympic and World Championship success, the Olympics in general, and of course Kasia Niewiadoma's Tour victory.Thanks so much for listening! This year has been insane, and we're so happy to have helped guide you through it. We will be back on January 7th with another Conversation episode (with Lauretta Hanson and Gracie) before we dive into the Aussie Summer of Racing with the National Championships and Tour Down Under. There is a lot to look forward to in 2025!

Join Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell as they discuss a thrilling Women's Elite World Championships Road Race which took place over a punchy 154 kilometres, finishing in Zurich. With an inter-team rivalry at SD Worx that has been building all year, the race was expected to be a showdown between defending World Champion Lotte Kopecky and all-conquering Demi Vollering. But also lining up were Tour de France Femmes champion Kasia Niewiadoma and Giro d'Italia champion Elisa Longo Borghini who come to the race with renewed confidence this year. Young stars like Puck Pieterse and Neve Bradbury also had the chance to prove themselves with a World Champion U23 title on the line in the same race. With the rainbow bands at stake, who will reign supreme?

We also hear from the likes of Anna van der Breggen and Kasia Niewiadoma about the stage 3 time trial which might prove vital in the GC battle. Plus of course, we continue Denny's quest to find more delicious local cheese and discuss which riders are worthy of the ‘Big Cheese' title.    Follow us on social media: Twitter @cycling_podcast Instagram @thecyclingpodcast The 11.01 Cappuccino Our regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

We're looking at the first ‘Grand Tour' of the season in this Arrivée episode from The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Rose Manley and Denny Gray of The British Continental pick out the big stories from a week of varied and exhilarating racing. SD Worx came to the race looking for redemption after being narrowly denied the Vuelta title in last year's controversial edition, but their leader Demi Vollering had a lot to prove after a disappointing Spring campaign. Her closest rivals - Kasia Niewiadoma and Elisa Longo Borghini - had both already taken landmark wins this year and were on confident form.  There's also plenty to discuss away from the GC race, in a course that offered up high mountains, a team time trial, breakaway success and chaos causing crosswinds.

In this final Arrivée episode from the Ardennes Classics, Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton take a close look at this year's Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes which was full of twists and turns both literally and figuratively. The scene was set for something of a final grudge match between some of the biggest winners and unexpected losers of the Ardennes week. Team SD-Worx came in hoping to rebuild something of their ‘invincible' status having not taken a win in the Ardennes. But with Elisa Longo-Borghini in flying form and Kasia Niewiadoma on a high after her Flèche Wallonne victory, last year's triple crown winners could expect challenges from all sides. And after a week full of surprises, Liège-Bastogne-Liège promised more of the same. buycycle Arrivée is brought to you by buycycle – the online marketplace for used bikes, where cyclists buy and sell pre-loved bikes with complete confidence.
