Stage 4 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift saw the riders take on a crucial 21km individual time trial from Gévrey-Chambertin to Dijon. After Sigrid Haugset's stunning solo victory the day before, all eyes were on whether she could defend the Yellow Jersey against the race's strongest time trial specialists. Marlen Reusser lived up to her status as the reigning world champion, producing a dominant ride to win the stage and take over the overall lead. Demi Vollering delivered an impressive performance to finish just 18 seconds behind Reusser, while Haugset fought hard but lost more than three minutes to surrender the race lead.

Stage 3 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift exploded into life with attacks from the opening kilometres. Lucinda Brand was among the first to go on the offensive before a powerful 10-rider breakaway formed featuring Lotte Kopecky, Liane Lippert, Lucinda Brand and several other big names. Kopecky later launched a solo attack with 76km remaining, but it was Norwegian champion Sigrid Haugset who held the race in her hands, leading the road and putting herself in contention for both the stage victory and the Yellow Jersey. We also cover the key moments from the day, including attacks from Lippert and Adegeest, Demi Vollering's crash, Dina Boels' abandonment, and how the battle unfolded heading into the final climbs.

Lorena Wiebes made it two wins from two at the Tour de France Femmes, but Stage 2 was anything but routine. The road to Geneva was animated from the outset, with repeated attacks over the climbs before Lidl-Trek threw a late tactical punch through Riejanne Markus, whose solo move asked serious questions of SD Worx-Protime. As Markus continued to dangle just ahead of the peloton deep into the finale, SD Worx were forced to commit everything to the chase, leaving Wiebes to fend for herself when the race finally came back together. It didn't matter. The yellow jersey found a gap exactly when she needed it, producing another explosive finish to beat Elisa Balsamo and Marianne Vos, strengthening her grip on the race lead in the process. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 2 of the Tour de France Femmes. Plus, Ned meets up with David Millar to talk about one of the more surprising partnerships in cycling this year: Factor Bikes' collaboration with SpongeBob SquarePants.  _______________________________________________________________

The Tour de France Femmes is underway, and Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan are on the ground bringing you daily coverage the roadside. The opening stage from Lausanne to Lausanne was set to be a sprint, but the race delivered plenty of drama before the finish. A series of attacks, a reduced peloton and a technical run into the final climb put the pressure on early, with some of the biggest names in the race forced to show their cards. Lorena Wiebes proved she can do far more than just survive a tough finish, riding the final climb with the GC contenders before launching a brilliant sprint to take the first stage win and the first yellow jersey of the race. Behind her, Demi Vollering claimed third place and four valuable bonus seconds, an early reminder that every second could matter in the fight for the overall title. Ned and Lizzie break down the opening day, including the huge effort from breakaway rider Nikola Nosková, the crashes that disrupted the stage, the tactics from the major teams, and what we can already learn about the riders aiming for the podium in this year's Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

The spring Classics are over and the Grand Tours are looming, starting with the Vuelta Femenina, which kicks off this weekend. But before we get into the Vuelta Femenina and ask if Demi Vollering can win for the first time this season, there's another huge women's story in town: that of world champion Lotte Kopecky deciding to bypass the Tour de France Femmes in August — something which would have been unthinkable even a year ago — in favour of the Paris Olympic Games. We examine the reasons behind the world number one's decision to miss the biggest race of the season in order to target gold in three events at the Paris Olympic. We hear from her French rival Audrey Cordon-Ragot, who explains why she isn't surprised to hear the news about Kopecky's change of focus. This leads us on to a wider issue... With reigning Tour de France Femmes champion Demi Vollering reportedly set to move from SD Worx to FDJ Suez next season on a salary rumoured to be around one million euros, we ask whether this growth rate of women's cycling is sustainable? Is it going to create an even bigger divide between the rich and poor in the women's peloton? Next up is a preview of the week-long Vuelta Femenina, where Vollering will be chasing an elusive first win of the season. Movistar team director Tim Harris tells us what he's expecting from the season's first Grand Tour and also reveals his hopes for his own team, which will feature Movistar leader Liane Lippert for the first time this season after her recovery from a December leg break. Staying with the women's elite, we speak to Britain's Lizzie Deignan, another rider who's on the way back after breaking a bone, in her case an arm in a crash at the Tour of Flanders. The Lidl-Trek rider also has her focus on the Olympics, where she hopes to better the silver medal she won at London 2012. She outlines her programme leading into Paris, talks about her confidence in her ability to get into the form she needs, and about Britain's emerging strength as a road race power, which could benefit her this summer. In our 'How to Make Cycling Better' feature, we hand the microphone to French veteran stage racer and recent Liège-Bastogne-Liège runner-up Romain Bardet, who offers an intriguing proposal that he believes would help to reduce the control of the major teams on racing, making the sport more unpredictable and exciting. And, finally, was there ever a time when French financial services company Cofidis was not sponsoring a bike team? Once again, the team's contract has just been renewed, ensuring that there will be a Cofidis jersey in the peloton until at least 2028. So what's the secret of their staying power? We ask French journalist Pierre Carrey, the cycling correspondent Swiss paper Le Temps, about the French team and whether there's anything to those widespread rumours linking them with French star Julian Alaphilippe, whose contract is up at the end of this season.

With Pogačar not defending his title and Wout van Aert and Jasper Stuyven now sidelined by broken collarbones sustained in this week's Dwars door Vlaanderen, the world champion is the outstanding favourite for a third Ronde success.We hear from Mads Pedersen, Michael Matthews, Jordi Meeus and Matteo Trentin on if and how Van der Poel can be beaten.And, finally, as Tour de France Femmes goes from strength to strength, what is happening with the British women's scene?

A world champion on track and road, an Olympic silver medalist and winner of the most prestigious races in professional cycling, she has consistently been among the peloton's strongest riders in a period of exponential growth and transformational change in women's cycling. In a wide-ranging interview, Lizzie describes pivotal moments in her career, from being recruited as a teenager to British Cycling's Talent Team to winning the inaugural women's Paris-Roubaix with an extraordinary solo victory equal in significance to such a monumental occasion.   Speaking in the week before Christmas from Lidl-Trek's pre-season training camp in Spain, Lizzie provides fascinating insights into some of the biggest victories of her career and offers an insightful commentary on the female sport's continuing battle for parity. From her earliest days as a professional cyclist in Belgium to the 2023 World Championships in Glasgow, Lizzie describes her continuing motivation, her legacy as an inspiration to a new generation of British female cyclists and her return to Yorkshire, where she combines family life with the demands of international sport.

The pair shared a table with former world champion Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) and her husband Phil, a Grand Tour stage winner, and key members of the Foundation's organising committee.  Despite enjoying the awards ceremony, charity auction and key note speeches, Phil and Tim found time to gather insights from this unique event: one that unites many of the decision makers in domestic and professional cycling with the stars of tomorrow. The Rayner dinner is at once glamorous and authentic. Committee members Serena Meakin, Tim Harris and Josh Cutler describe their practical and emotional investment in the Foundation and the importance of the dinner to its excellent work. This year's event attracted 301 guests: a higher turnout than last year, but still below pre-Covid levels. It must continue to grow. Listen out for insights and observations from Giles Pidcock, Lewis Askey (Groupama-FDJ), and Oliver Knight (Team Cofidis), the Foundation's Rider of the Year. Charlie Paige (TDT-Unibet) and Tom Portsmouth (Bingoal WB), other graduates to the professional ranks from the class of 2023, describe their experiences of living and racing abroad.   Hear too from the talented juniors joining prestigious development teams and the young female riders excelling in a new landscape for women's cycling shaped to a large degree by Lizzie Deignan. And enjoy Tim and Phil's extended discussion on the Foundation's work and its intersection with the domestic road scene. The pair consider the seemingly insatiable appetite of WorldTour development teams for young British riders. They discuss the explosion in British women's racing too, with as many as seven UCI Continental women's teams mooted for next season. And they reflect on the purpose of the elite men's National Road Series.  Hear from those at the heart of the most respected charity in British cycle sport: its tireless volunteers, influential supporters and shooting stars.

On cycling's Super Sunday as the Tour de France finishes and the Tour de France Femmes gets going, these are RadioCycling's headlines...As Jonas Vingegaard completes the most dominant Tour victory of recent years, we pick out the race's highlights including an unforgettable first week, the return of the Puy de Dôme, Bora's poignant tribute to Gino Mäder, and, last but not least, Thibaut Pinot's tremendous swansong in the mountains.British riders were also to the fore during the Tour, from the start in Bilbao, where Adam Yates won the day, to the finale in Paris when the Lancastrian and his twin brother Simon finished third and fourth overall.  Tom Pidcock was also in the thick of the action, and we get the Ineos Grenadier rider's take on the ups and downs of his three weeks, and what it all means for his future Grand Tour hopes. Does Pidcock think he's got what it takes to be a contender?"Beergate" or "Fizzy Watergate"? Whatever you call it, Jumbo-Visma boss Richard Plugge's claim that a French team (it was Groupama-FDJ!) were drinking beer on the second rest day was vociferously rebuffed by Marc Madiot. We examine the spat that led to the Dutch team coming under fire from French fans and that also highlighted the difference between the cutting edge and the traditional approach to the sport.One of the most open and engaging riders in the Tour peloton, Jai Hindley had an unforgettable Tour debut. "A left-hander who likes smashed avo on toast,” the Australian leader of the Bora-Hansgrohe team tells us about his rollercoaster three weeks that included a stage win, a spell in yellow and a GC-damaging crash.Having hot-legged it from the Tour's finale to the Tour de France Femmes' Grand Départ, we speak to another debutant, Lizzie Deignan. The Lidl-Trek rider tells us about her fight for racing fitness after the birth of her second child, what she's hoping for over the course of the next week, and why teammate Elisa Longo Borghini is very much a contender for the yellow jersey.Support the show

La Parigi-Roubaix esiste dal 1896, ma fino al 2021 quei ciottoli e quel fango erano un'esclusiva maschile. D'altronde, la bicicletta è stata considerata per molti anni un oggetto sconveniente per le donne. La prima donna a tagliare il traguardo nella cittadina del nord della Francia è stata Lizzie Deignan. Deignan è il cognome del marito, anche lui ciclista. Quando hanno avuto la prima figlia, Orla, lui le disse: tu vai, continua a correre, pedala, resto io a casa con la bambina.

Alasdair Hooper hosts the latest episode of SportSpiel with rising Scottish cycling star Anna Shackley. The 20-year-old seemingly came out of nowhere back in 2021 when – then aged 18 – she signed for esteemed cycling team SD Worx. Prior to that she had mostly been focusing on the track with the British national programme, winning multiple Scottish junior national titles before winning the elite British points race and team pursuit titles in 2020. But during lockdown her coach reached out to the SD Worx team manager and that's where the journey, and subsequent upward trajectory stemmed from. Fast forward to now and the rider is focusing on the road and has an Olympics appearance under her belt, after she was picked as the only support rider for Lizzie Deignan at the Tokyo games.  But there is no doubting Shakley's talent and enthusiasm for learning as she aims to develop her skills even more. In this interview the rider talks all about that quick rise, being involved at an Olympic Games unlike any other as well as her love for scotland – and the scottish weather – among plenty of other topics.

As for the new year, Peter considers whether the pure cyclo-cross racing bike's days are numbered as manufacturers continue to focus their efforts on gravel. Aero is making a return to the fore. And power measurement grows increasingly sophisticated, alongside integrated electronics with applications outside of the gearing-only systems. Meanwhile, Dan's hot take is that one-piece bar and stem combos are on the way out. Crazy guy… or maybe not. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

She has also won the prestigious trio of races consisting of the Tour of Flanders, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, and the inaugural women's Paris-Rubaix earlier this year. In this conversation, Lizzie recounts her experience at Rubaix, including what it was like encountering the infamous cobbles for the first time, being pursued by Marianne Vos, and vomiting in the final miles of the race. She also talks about how becoming a mother midway through her career was a liberating experience. At a time when cycling wasn't bringing her joy, she says that she “wanted to do something that was just an emotional, non-logical decision.” She talks about balancing family life with racing, and why having a child has actually extended rather than shortened her career.
