Con Anna, analizziamo la straordinaria evoluzione del ciclismo femminile negli ultimi anni, un cambiamento che ha portato alcune squadre a introdurre un salario minimo per le atlete, segnando un importante passo avanti. Ma non ci fermiamo qui: esploriamo anche aneddoti affascinanti della sua carriera, che ci regalano uno sguardo unico sul dietro le quinte di questo sport. Anna ci ha donato un episodio ricco e coinvolgente, offrendoci una prospettiva ancora più profonda sul ciclismo femminile.Questo episodio è offerto da Rouleur Italia, la rivista che racconta e celebra la passione per il ciclismo.

MILANO (ITALPRESS) - Da Saronni a Nibali, da Pozzato a Moser fino a Marta Bastianelli. Grandi campioni del ciclismo di ieri hanno raccontato dal palco de Le Village (si legge 'le villàsg') by Crédit Agricole, a Milano, le classiche di ciclismo di primavera che hanno vissuto e vinto. Storie, aneddoti e curiosità sono stati gli elementi di un talk show in cui hanno dialogato e interagito con l'Ad di Crédit Agricole Italia e Senior Country Officer, Giampiero Maioli, e con il presidente di RCS MediaGroup, Urbano Cairo.col/pia/fsc/gtr

ROMA (ITALPRESS) - “Per noi è stato un anno importante, perché è il preolimpico, l'anno nel quale si è investito nella ricerca e sviluppo. Ci sono state grandi soddisfazioni perché 121 medaglie sono tante. Quando si arriva a tre cifre, si è sempre orgogliosi del risultato. Abbiamo avuto anche sfortuna, con atleti di punta come Elisa Longo Borghini, Elisa Balsamo e Filippo Ganna”. È il bilancio del 2023 fatto dal presidente della Federazione Ciclistica Italiana, Cordiano Dagnoni in un'intervista all'Italpress, a proposito dei risultati raggiunti e dei progetti lanciati in questi dodici mesi (come “Gente di Bici”, presentata nei giorni scorsi per creare una community di praticanti con la stessa passione). Costante è stato anche il dialogo con le istituzioni: “Non perdo occasione per incentivare le amministrazioni locali ad investire sulle infrastrutture – spiega -, partendo dalle piste ciclabili, che siano vere e proprie carreggiate, per poi arrivare all'impiantistica dedicata allo sport, come piste da pump track, bmx, ciclodromi, o semplicemente dei tracciati fuoristrada”. Per quel che riguarda l'Oscar del ciclismo italiano nel 2023, Dagnoni preferirebbe assegnarlo alla “nazionale italiana con tecnici, meccanici e massaggiatori inclusi”, ma fa tre nomi in particolare: “Se dovessi scegliere, tra gli uomini potrebbero contenderselo Ganna per le imprese che ha fatto e Viviani per come sostiene e stimola i giovani. Per la parte femminile lo darei a Marta Bastianelli che quest'anno ha concluso una fantastica carriera e che credo possa mettere a disposizione la sua esperienza nello staff tecnico”. Sul 2024 e più in generale sul futuro, il presidente della Federciclismo si dice fiducioso: “Sappiamo che non abbiamo un atleta per i Grandi Giri, ma abbiamo tanti giovani che stanno crescendo bene – conclude -. Nel 2023 Giulio Ciccone ha vestito la maglia a pois al Tour de France. Inoltre ci sono tanti giovani che passano al professionismo e possono darci soddisfazioni. In questo momento i campioni all'estero sono dei fenomeni, ma noi confidiamo in questa generazione”.gm/mrv

Zij is ook voormalig profwielrenster en wielercommentator bij Sporza.Wij hebben er zin in! En we hopen jullie ook.

Zij keek gisteren vanaf de kant om Lotte en haar andere ploeggenoten aan te moedigen.Over de koers.132 km van Gent naar Ninove met 8 klimmetjes en 5 kasseienstroken. Met nog 16 km te gaan was het de Belgische Lotte Kopecky van Team SD Worx die flink gas ging geven op de Muur van Geraardsbergen en Sierra van Team Movistar opraapte die 10km daarvoor solo was weggereden. Op de Bosberg liet Kopecky de Cubaanse Sierra achter en soleerde de laatste 12 km. naar een prachtige overwinning. Als eerste Belgische staat zij nu ook op de erelijst van de Omloop Het Nieuwsblad! Haar ploeggenote bij SD Worx, Lorena Wiebes, sprintte naar plek twee voor Marta Bastianelli.

Aflevering #5 van Vera & Roxane Zien Af! Met daarin allereerst de bekendmaking van de prijswinnaars van de win-actie! Namelijk de Velokoffie koffiebonen én snelle Koerage sokken van onze partner Bioracer Speedwear.Maar dan over de koers: Ook in België was het evenals de voorgaande World Tour wedstrijden weer prima (en eigenlijk te mooi) koersweer. De vierde Women's World Tour wedstrijd van het seizoen werd verreden in West-Vlaanderen: Exterioo Classic Brugge-De Panne. Een lange vlakke wedstrijd over 163km en voor de vijfde keer verreden voor de vrouwen. Roxane reed de eerste twee edities ook mee in deze klassieker, en daar heeft ze ook weer anekdotes over! Het werd een waar sprintersbal waarin, evenals afgelopen zondag, de wereldkampioene van Trek-Segrafredo het zegegebaar mocht maken. De rappe Elisa Balsamo won het na een hectische sprint van de Nederlandse Lorena Wiebes van Team DSM en haar landgenote Marta Bastianelli. Verder blijft er nog steeds het gemis van Amy Pieters in de voorjaarswedstrijden en bespreken ze nog een paar actualiteiten.Wat was hét Koerage moment? Wie vonden ze de vrouw van de wedstrijd? En wat zijn hun voorspellingen voor de volgende Women's World Tour wedstrijd van volgend weekend; de vijfde Women's World Tour wedstrijd van het seizoen; de Belgische klassieker Gent-Wevelgem, waar Vera goede herinneringen aan heeft en ook op het podium wist te eindigen in 2014.

Join Rose Manley, Lionel Birnie and Lizzy Banks as they recap stage two of the Women's Tour, which tackled ten climbs on a tough circuit in grim weather. A break of 10 riders got clear to deny a second bunch sprint and at the finish we saw Amy Pieters of SD Worx win her fourth Women's Tour stage, while Clara Copponi of France took the race lead from Marta Bastianelli. In this episode, we hear from Pfeiffer Georgi and Juliette Labous of Team DSM, who were both in the break, Pieters' teammate Demi Vollering and new queen of the mountains Elise Chabbey. Lionel investigates the link between Walsall and Brooks saddles and in the final part there's an exclusive interview by Orla Chennaoui with Olympic silver medallist Elinor Barker, who shared some big news today… The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Join Rose Manley, Lionel Birnie and Lizzy Banks as our nightly coverage of The Women's Tour kicks off following the opening stage to Banbury. Hear from Sophie Wright, teammate of stage winner Marta Bastianelli, and Anna Christian, who launched one of the most persistent attacks of the opening stage. Plus there's Lizzie Deignan, who lines up as defending champion and newly-crowned Paris-Roubaix winner, Christine Majerus, Amy Pieters and Elisa Longo Borghini. Lizzy outlines what we can expect to see over the coming five days after a number of potential winners were ruled out. Will this be a race won by the sprinter who can time trial best or can someone gain enough time against the clock to hold off the time bonus chasers? We also ask what the impact of a brutal debut edition of Paris-Roubaix may have on the six-day stage race. Plus, we discuss Banbury Cakes and ask what the nursery rhyme is all about.

In this episode of the Cyclingnews Podcast, brought to you by Sportful, Floyds of Leadville and Pinarello, we kick off 2020 with an exclusive interview with Peter Stetina. The American rider turned away from the WorldTour at the end of the 2019 campaign, and is now preparing for a change in direction as he embarks on a season of gravel races. In late December, we sat down with Stetina, who enjoyed ten years at the top of elite racing at the WorldTour level.  He talks about his time in the sport, stage racing, almost losing his leg after a career-threatening crash, and how his accident forced him to take stock of everything around him. "I'm stepping away in my prime," Stetina tells us, as he looks back on a decade-long career that has spanned a number of high-profile teams.  Stetina also talks about his charity work and the causes close to him, before opening up about his hopes for the future, as he enters a new phase of his life. We hope you enjoy our discussion with Peter Stetina.   To subscribe to the Cyclingnews podcast, click here.     Sponsor message   Born in the Italian Dolomites, Sportful has been making athletes faster, more efficient and better protected since 1972.

Earlier this month the Cyclingnews Podcast team recorded their first episode in front of a live studio audience. Featuring expert knowledge from Philippa York and Yanto Barker - and podcast mainstays Edward Pickering from Procycling Magazine and Cyclingnews' Daniel Benson - we looked back at the last 12 months with a quickfire review of the cycling year, starting with the monuments of spring, on through the Giro, Tour de France and Vuelta and the World Championships. We even took questions from the audience.   Full of genuine insight into the racing season and anecdotes from York's career, the podcast provided a neat overview of the year with one eye also looking towards the future and the riders the panel expects to dominate in 2020.   This podcast was brought to you by Sportful, Pinarello, Floyds of Leadville and Wattbike.   To subscribe to the Cyclingnews podcast, click here.     Sponsor message   Born in the Italian Dolomites, Sportful has been making athletes faster, more efficient and better protected since 1972.

In the final Cyclingnews podcast from the 2019 UCI World Championships we look back at the final two days of action and the elite men's and women's road race. We hear from new rainbow jersey holders Annemeik van Vleuten and Mads Pedersen, along with Coryn Rivera, Amanda Spratt, Peter Sagan, Matteo Trentin, Mathieu van der Poel, and Jacob Fuglsang.  We also look back at the week as a whole and discuss the latest on Rohan Dennis, the farcical outcome in the U23 race and how the championships stacked up as a whole.

It's the morning after the U23 race at the World Championships and there's only one place to start and that's with the disqualification of Nils Eekhoff from the Netherlands and the decision from the UCI jury to award Samuele Battistella (Italy) with the rainbow jersey. Eekhoff had crossed the line first in Harrogate after a seven-man sprint but an hour after the finish it was announced that the UCI jury were investigating the result. Another hour went by before Eekhoff was seen leaving the race in tears. His crime, drafting after crashing with around 120km to race. The UCI only checked the footage after the race, which of course led to huge uproar from fans, journalists and fellow riders. It's fair to say that this has been the biggest talking point of the race so far. We hear from Eekhoff, his national coach, Tom Pidcock, who was bumped from fourth to third as a result, and the UCI.   To subscribe to the Cyclingnews podcast, click here. http://apple.co/32jXDgY .

Rohan Dennis (Australia) stepped up when it mattered most to deliver a resounding win in the men's elite time trial at the World Championships on Wednesday. The Australian decimated the field to defend his 2018 title and answered many of his critics after his controversial walkout from the Tour de France in July. Dennis beat starlets Remco Evenepoel and Filippo Ganna and we hear from all three riders in our podcast. We debate where this win leaves Dennis's career and if this opens the door for a return to Bahrain Merida or if his decision to snub trade team equipment was the nail in the coffin.   We analyse a number of other key performances, including several riders who underperformed and we hear from Vuelta a Espana winner Primoz Roglic.   This podcast was brought to you by Sportful, Pinarello, Floyd's of Leadville and Wattbike.   To subscribe to the Cyclingnews podcast, click here. http://apple.co/32jXDgY .

It's the first day of time trials at the UCI World Championships in Yorkshire and the Cyclingnews team analyse all the action from today's team time trial mixed relay in which the dominant Dutch brushed aside the challenge from Germany and hosts Great Britain to win the gold. We hear from Elisa Longo Borghini, Dan Bingham, Jan Bakelants and Lucinda Brand, while we also debate whether the inaugural mixed TTT was a startling success or if the UCI need to go back to the drawing board.

Not for the first time in this year's Tour of Britain Mathieu van der Poel showed a clean pair of heels to his rivals for a convincing stage win that extended his lead. And not for the first time the Cyclingnews team of Philippa York and Daniel Benson were left debating whether the young Dutchman can take the rainbow jersey later this month in Yorkshire. Joined by author and journalist William Fortheringham, the team look back at the stage and consider whether van der Poel has perhaps played his cards too early ahead of Worlds, while we hear from the rider himself during his stage-winner's press conference.  Fotheringham gives us his expert view on the Worlds course having ridden it earlier this year, while York puts to bed the notion that riding on home roads offers any form of advantage. The pair then talk about the similarities between Yorkshire's course and the one raced in Oslo in 1993.  There's also time to check in with Jose Azevedo and the latest problems at Katusha-Alpecin where the riders are still waiting on news over the team's future, and we catch up with Mikel Landa on whether the move to Bahrain-Merida will finally offer him the chance of sole leadership at a team.   This podcast was brought to you by Sportful, Pinarello, Floyd's of Leadville and Wattbike.   To subscribe to the Cyclingnews podcast, click here. http://apple.co/32jXDgY .

We also hear from Italian leader Matteo Trentin on his nations chances, a generation of riders now at their peak, and the merits of racing on British roads ahead of Yorkshire. There's a catch up with the British national champion Ben Swift on his time at UAE Team Emirates and how he is hoping to galvanize a team around him despite only having six spots on the start line. Finally, time trial specialist and super domestique Luke Durbridge gives us his take on the Australian team, Rohan Dennis' chances on defending his time trial title, and the merits of announcing squads as early as possible.

1999 had its highs and lows. For every No Scrubs by TLC there was a Mambo Number 5 or virtually anything from the Backstreet Boys' back catalogue. Bluetooth came about, we all played Snake on our Nokia 3210s, and a Texan shocked the world by winning the Tour de France. Whatever happened to him? But when it came to professional cycling, maybe the best thing about the sport was just how inaccessible it was. If you wanted to keep up with European racing, your options were either the four lines of text posted on Ceefax, loading up Cyclingnews on your parents' dodgy modem, or waiting a week for your favourite cycling magazine to hit the shelves. However you managed to follow cycling back then, the fact that you had work for it only added to the romance. And the final UCI World Championships of the 1990s were arguably the most romantic and beautiful of the entire decade. The setting was perfect, the line-up stellar, even the race-winning break was filled with a mouthwatering array of talent. And, to top it all, we had a shock winner. This is the story of Oscar Friere's 1999 Worlds win and how a complete unknown stormed to victory in one of the biggest upsets the sport had ever seen. Join us as we re-tell the race on its 20th anniversary, and head to meet with Friere at his home in Northern Spain.

Carrey gives us the rundown on the Tour de l'Avenir, which starts Thursday. The ten-day race is viewed as mini Tour de France with a raft of U23 riders and future stars taking part. We talk about the relevance of the race, how team managers use it as a hunting ground for talent; how the style of racing compares to the WorldTour, and who to watch over the next fortnight.    Sponsor message Born in the Italian Dolomites, Sportful has been making athletes faster, more efficient and better protected since 1972.

The latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast was going to be based around Matteo Trentin and his win on stage 17 of the Tour de France but then Tony Martin and Luke Rowe decided to steal the limelight by having an altercation on the final climb of the stage. The result of which was a disqualification for both riders after Martin tried to run Rowe off the road and the Ineos rider decided to retaliate by providing Martin with a close-up inspection of his right hand. The UCI regulators didn't take to kindly and booted both riders out of the race.  There was a joint video from Rowe and Martin in which they apologized but unless the UCI overturn their decision - and that's unlikely - both Ineos and Jumbo Visma will start stage 18 with a man less. This evening the Cyclingnews team headed straight to the Team Ineos hotel to soak up the atmosphere and try and talk to the riders and staff. The latter proved impossible but we debate the race rules, ask if Team Ineos have a discipline problem and discuss how the loss of two key riders effects the race going forward.  Don't forget you can win a signed EF-Education First jersey from this year's Tour de France.

In the latest edition of the Cyclingnews podcast brought to you by Sportful, Pinarello and Floyds of Leadville we look back at another blockbuster at the Tour de France after seeing Simon Yates win stage 15 and Thibaut Pinot put time into all of his GC rivals.  For the first time in this year's race Julian Alaphilippe looked vulnerable as the Tour reached its final summit finish in the Pyrenees. The Frenchman still has over a minute on Geraint Thomas, who in turn looked better than he did on stage 14 but still lost time to his teammate Egan Bernal. Emanuel Buchmann has now emerged as a podium contender, while the dynamic between all three of Movistar's leaders looks set to entertain us all the way to Paris.

What next for Australian after walking out of the race?  In the latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast, brought to you by Sportful, Pinarello and Floyds of Leadville, we looked back at Julian Alaphilippe's stunning victory in the Pau time trial. The Frenchman won ahead of Geraint Thomas and Thomas de Gendt and now leads Thomas by 1:26 ahead of the two key mountain stages.  Coming up we'll hear from Thomas and John Allert from MacLaren on the bizarre situation involving Rohan Dennis after he quit the race on stage 12. We ponder whether this is the end for Dennis at Bahrain Merida, and just how far Alaphilippe can go in the maillot jaune.   (itunes link http://apple.co/32jXDgY ) Don't forget you can win a signed EF-Education First jersey from this year's Tour de France.

  In the latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast – brought to you by Sportful, Pinarello and Floyds of Leadville - we ask whether Geraint Thomas has established himself as the favourite after his impressive performance on stage 6 of the Tour de France. The defending champion came into the Tour with questions over his form but he was the best of the yellow jersey contenders – albeit by a few seconds – on the first summit finish of this year's race.  We hear from the Welshman on that performance and his team boss Dave Brailsford.  With further revelations over Tom Dumoulin's likely split with Team Sunweb we ask what next for the WorldTour team? We listen to Michael Matthews on his struggles with leadership, and debate if Dumoulin's rumoured move to Jumbo Visma is the right decision. There's also time to hear from former yellow jersey Julian Alaphilippe as we summarize the action from stages 6 and 7.

The 2019 Tour de France is just a matter of days away but already the Cyclingnews team has arrived in Brussels for the Grand Depart. Wednesday saw the first set of team press conferences with EF Education First and FDJ Groupama holding court in front of the gathering media. After our exclusive behind-the-scenes podcast with EF last week we were back for more and we sat down with Michael Woods for a second time as he talks about his imminent Tour de France debut. We debate Thibaut Pinot's chances of ending the French nation's drought in their home race but also wind the clock back and discuss the controversial call from Dimension Data to leave Mark Cavendish out of their Tour de France squad. The Manxman has struggled for form and fitness for the last two seasons and despite a reputation as one of the fastest riders of the last ten years, team owner Doug Ryder saw no place for him in the squad's starting eight.  Team Sunweb held their pre-Tour press conference on Wednesday too, but it the Netherlands rather than Brussels. The event was dominated by news surrounding the squad's team leaders, with Michael Matthews announcing that he had extended his contract for a further two years, while Tom Dumoulin – who of course isn't racing the Tour – forced to deny speculation that he was on the cusp of breaking his contract and moving to Jumbo Visma.  To subscribe to the Cyclingnews podcast, click here: http://cyclingnews.podbean.com/ Sponsor message Born in the Italian Dolomites, Sportful has been making athletes faster, more efficient and better protected since 1972.

Exclusive and behind the scenes access with American WorldTour team In the latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast - brought to you in association with Sportful, Pinarello and Floyds of Leadville - we go behind the scenes with EF-Education First Pro Cycling team at their training camp in Girona, Spain, as they finalise their Tour de France roster. With exclusive access to the riders, including Rigoberto Uran, Michael Woods and Tejay van Garderen, we follow the team as they're put through there paces during two flat-out team time trial efforts.  The three-day camp took place last week and formed the backdrop for the team's final selection process for the Tour de France.  Present at the camp were Woods, van Garderen, Uran, Tanel Kangert, Mitch Docker, Lawson Craddock, Tom Scully, Sebastian Langevald, and Simon Clarke. Alberto Bettiol who was in the mix for a Tour de France spot was racing the Italian nationals at the time. Team director Charly Wegelius takes Cyclingnews through the process of team selection on the final morning of the camp and explains his goals and what he's looking for from the riders as they set out on their final test. He must narrow down a list of 10 to eight by the end of the day and over a 13-minute long time trial test - which the team ride twice - he watches on from the team car. Cyclingnews had the chance to follow in the second team car with the opportunity to listen and observe as Wegelius offers instructions over the radio before the team then begin their internal de-brief that provided a fascinating insight into team tactics and the morale within the squad. Wegelius then brings everyone together. He praises Woods and Kangert on taking shorter pulls on the front in order to keep the pace high, and he tells Scully that his skill in moving off the front of the line is so smooth that it's like watching an experienced pursuit rider in action.  Back at the team hotel, and under the baking sun, we sit down with Uran for a short interview.  It's rare moment to talk to the 2017 Tour de France runner-up about the camp and his season to date. We then look for a place to interview van Garderen. There are a set of benches in the shade a few meters away from the team buses but they are currently occupied with Wegelius and another director Andreas Klier, who are both deep in conversation with road captain Simon Clarke. It's obvious that a decision on the team is about to be made. Van Garderen  - no stranger to successful team time trial squads - takes us through how EF Education First communicates during TTT efforts. We also talk to the American about how much effort goes into the off-the-bike preparation at camps of this nature, and of course his aspirations at the Tour after his fine second place in June's Criterium du Dauphine. By the time van Garderen has left, Klier and Wegelius have done the same. They've retreated back inside the hotel for a final conference before going door-to-door at the hotel and breaking the news to the nine riders at the camp as to whether they have made the selection. For most, it's good news but for Craddock and Docker this is as far as it goes. Although  Bettiol has missed the camp due to the Italian nationals he will make the Tour team. After spending time with the riders we sit down with Wegelius. We ask him about how the team has gelled as a unit over the last three days and also how important the team time trial is in the balance of selecting their entire Tour de France Tour team. Wegelius' task is unenviable but he's selected a squad for the Tour de France that can fight on a number of fronts and even the riders who have unfortunately missed out have played their part in spurring on the eight who have been selected. Uran will challenge for the podium, Mike Woods will support and target stage wins and Van Garderen appears revitalised since his move to the team. Bettiol will have chances, and there's experience and horsepower with Langeveld, Scully, Clarke and Kangert running the engine of the team.  With the camp now over the team disperses. Some riders like van Garderen remain in Girona for extra training, while others like Uran head back to their European base in Monaco. Within a couple of hours everyone has checked out, the trucks are loaded up and the team has moved on. The next stop is Brussels and the Tour de France. However, there's one final chance to talk to Michael Woods. He's loaded up his car and is ready to head home but he agrees to sit down with us to talk about the camp and of course what will be his Tour de France debut. Overall, this was a successful camp for EF-Education First. There were some tough moments in terms of the selection process but the riders selected are of the highest caliber and they head to the Grand Depart with realistic goals. This podcast offers a rare glimpse into the minds of the riders and staff of a WorldTour squad on eve of a Grand Tour, and provides a more relaxed environment in which the athletes can talk about their training, the cohesion within the squad and their hopes for the Tour de France. With the team finally announced publicly on Tuesday, now all they have to do is deliver.

In the latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast we look back at stage 6 of the Critérium du Dauphiné. Julian Alaphilippe came out on top after winning from the early break and Philippa York gives her expert analysis on the Frenchman and who he compares to from the last two decades. We also hear from Dave Brailsford on the shock news that Juan Jose Cobo may be stripped of his 2011 Vuelta a España. Such a move would make Chris Froome the overall winner and as such the first British rider to win a Grand Tour.

Hear from Philippa York on whether Wout Van Aert is the next Sean Kelly For the second day in a row Wout Van Aert showed a clean pair of heels and dispatched with his rivals to win the stage at the Critérium du Dauphiné. The only difference this time around was that he won a messy bunch sprint rather than a time trial. However, the day was once again overshadowed by the latest news involving Chris Froome, who underwent eight hours of surgery after his horrific fall on Wednesday. We hear from Dave Brailsford who offered a medical update this morning. We also speak to Dan Martin who witnessed the crash. Martin was just a few metres behind Froome during the recon and was left shaken by the events. He talks to us about the scene on the road, his thoughts on what happened, and how precarious bike racing can be. We also have an interview with Servais Knaven who talks about the mood within the Team Ineos camp, Tour de France leadership, the plans for the rest of the Dauphiné and how the management will aim to pick the team up after the loss of their leader. Finally, we return to racing with Philippa York provider her assessment of Van Aert and whether he could in fact be the next Sean Kelly.

Hear from Brailsford, Poels, Dumoulin and Porte from the Criterium du Dauphiné   Wout van Aert won the stage, Adam Yates pulled on yellow but the major talking point on stage 4 of the Critérium du Dauphiné was the news that Chris Froome had crashed out with several fractures and will miss the Tour de France in July. Froome fell heavily and at high-speed during a recon of the stage 4 time trial around Roanne and after several hours of roadside treatment was airlifted to hospital in Saint Etienne for further treatment. It's not yet clear if surgery is required but what's clear is that Froome's hopes of winning a fifth Tour de France are over. We hear from a shocked and upset Dave Brailsford, and Wout Poels, who was with Frooome when the crash occurred, and GC riders Tom Dumoulin and Richie Porte. As throughout this year's Dauphiné, expert analysis is provided by Philippa York. The Cyclingnews podcast is brought to you in association with Sportful, Pinarello and Floyds of Leadville.

In the latest instalment of the Cyclingnews podcast Daniel Benson and special guest Philippa York look back at an exciting stage at the Criterium du Dauphine. They talk about the action and hear from a quartet of  Chris Froome, Tom Domoulin, Jakob Fuglsang, and Adam Yates but the trust of the podcast centres around Thibaut Pinot and the search for a French Tour de France winner and when riders face the reality of retirement.  Pinot takes centre stage after he attacked several times on the stage and split the GC group. It was a real sign of intent and although the Tour de France is still several weeks away his performance will have drawn attention. York talks about the pressure placed on French riders since the days of Bernard Hinault and the generations of riders who have grown up in the rider's illustrious shadow.  We also talk about retirement. Stage 2 saw Steve Cummings pull of the race and although there's no indication that the rider will hang up his wheels, at the age of 38 it's not beyond the realms of possibility either. We discuss the causes of retirement and what prompts a rider to eventually make that tough decision to stop.  To subscribe to the Cyclingnews podcast, click here.

In the latest edition of the Cyclingnews podcast we hear from Chris Froome, Richie Porte and Michal Kwiatkowski after stage 1 of the Critérium du Dauphiné. We followed the stage from start to finish and watched Edvald Boasson Hagen take a huge win for the struggling Dimension Data. We pose the question as to whether the team should focus their Tour de France efforts on the Norwegian or if Mark Cavendish and others deserve leadership roles.

(11.4.2019) Všadeprítomnú vôňu hranoliek s majonézou nakoniec prerazil hrniec plný domácich cestovín od mamy. Mužom dňa sa na pretekoch Okolo Flámska stal toskánsky gurmán Alberto Bettiol. Tím EF Education First dokonale nahradil tímovú prácu vlčej svorky a rázne diktoval scenár pretekov. Taliansky deň na Ronde podčiarkla víťazstvom v ženskej kategórii Marta Bastianelli. Po Ronde nasleduje v rýchlom slede druhý vrchol kockových klasík. Pavé sektory Paríž - Roubaix preveria celého človeka a v cieli uvidíme desiatky zničených mužov. Jeden z nich však bude mať tú česť, zodvihnúť víťaznú kocku nad hlavu. Foto: facebook.com/philgaimon

Al via la stagione delle classiche e ricominciamo esattamente da dove avevamo finito con la Deceuninck QS che fa ancora e sempre la parte del branco di lupi. Uno, Due tra OHN e KBK che detta decisamente i tempi dell'approccio alle classiche in attesa degli assenti. In mezzo un equilibrio di valori spezzato dalla strength in numbers dei lupi. Al via anche le classiche femminili con riflessioni sulle bellissime prestazioni di Chantal Blaak e Marta Bastianelli, ma anche il graditissimo ritorno di Annemiek Van Vleuten
