Diego Pablo Sevilla, ciclista del Polti VisitMalta: “El Giro de Italia y la Milan San Remo son mis momentos”

Het voorjaar voor Mathieu van der Poel zit erop. De focus van de Nederlander gaat nu op het WK mountainbiken en de Tour de France. Met zeges in Milan-San Remo en Parijs Roubaix is het weer een succesvol voorjaar voor de Alpacin-DeCeuninck ploeg. Tijd voor In het Wiel om in de achtergronden bij deze ploeg te duiken. Hoe kwam Van der Poel hier terecht en hoe houden ze de Nederlander uit de handen van partijen met meer geld? Marijn Abbenhuijs legt het uit.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

C'était peut-être l'édition la plus attendue, la plus scrutée et la plus excitante de ces dernières années. Un duel qu'on attendait entre Mathieu van der Poel et Tadej Pogacar, le Slovène qui participait pour la première fois à l'enfer du Nord. On a tout eu, les attaques incessantes de Pogi qui a pris ses responsabilités, une course de légende, puis la frustration. La frustration dans le 9e secteur pavé, à 38 km de l'arrivée, l'erreur et la chute de Pogacar dans un virage pris bien trop vite. Van der Poel a donc pu s'envoler vers un troisième titre consécutif dans le vélodrome de Roubaix. Son 2e Monument de la saison après Milan San Remo, son huitième en carrière, pour égaler d'ailleurs Pogacar. Yohan Bredow, Pierre-Yves Leroux, Pierre Koetschet, Maria Azé et Jérôme Coppel débriefent cette édition passionnante, de la Reine des Classiques ! Production : Roxanne LacuskaRéalisation : Julie Deroo

Joseph, Paul et Robin sont de retour pour débriefer le Tour des Flandres, et se poser la question à 100 millions : lequel des monuments est le plus grand ? Plutôt Paris-Roubaix ou Ronde ? Le romantisme de l'Italie avec Milan San-Remo et le Tour de Lombardie ? ou la doyenne ardennaise ?Programme

Il ne fallait pas l'énerver et surtout, il ne fallait pas le battre. Il est comme ça Pogacar, il n'aime pas rester sur une défaite comme celle concédée il y a 15 jours semaines à l'arrivée de Milan-San Remo ou il avait subi la loi de Mathieu Van der Poel. Mais ce dimanche sur les pavés et les monts du Ronde le champion slovène a tapé du poing sur la table pour s'offrir une somptueuse revanche en s'imposant en costaud devant tous les cadors à commencer par Van der Poel qui n'a pas pu suivre Pogi dans le vieux Quaremont. Une magnifique victoire qui permet au champion du monde d'ajouter une nouvelle ligne à un palmarès incroyable. Il en est désormais à 8 monuments décrochés et rêve d'en ajouter un 9e dès dimanche prochain sur Paris-Roubaix. Une course qui n'a plus vu de vainqueur du Tour s'attaquer à ses pavés depuis Bernard Hinault dans les années 80 alors coup d'essai, coup de maitre ?   Avec Christophe Cessieux, Pierre-Yves Leroux, Pierre Koetschet, Kevin Morand et Jérôme Coppel Production : Roxanne LacuskaRéalisation : Julien Velia

Il y a deux semaines, nous entamions notre podcast "On connaît nos classiques 2025" en évoquant l'un des plus beaux Milan-Sanremo du 21ème siècle et peut-être même de l'histoire. Et bien, on va se répéter dans ce septième épisode de la saison en revenant sur l'un des plus beaux Tours des Flandres du 21ème siècle et peut-être même de l'histoire. Autour de la table et de Samuël Grulois: Cameron Vandenbroucke, Jérôme Helguers, Axel Merckx, Gérard Bulens et Martin Weynants pour débrifer le succès de Lotte Kopecky chez les dames.Distribué par Audiomeans.

The world champion has dominated the headlines over the past month – crashing, winning, finishing third at Milan-San Remo and signing up for his debut Paris-Roubaix. The Toms look back on all the cycling in March, asking whether the Classics have become more dangerous, if Lorena Wiebes deserves more credit as one of the all-time greats, and if Matthew Brennan's nickname really is the 'Binman' (spoiler: it's not). They then cast their predictions for the upcoming cobbled Monuments – the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix – where Tom 2 believes Mathieu van der Poel will fire blanks.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP Our man, Laurence Pithie, is back for the second episode in our mini series following the young Kiwi star through the 2025 Spring Classics.  After a delayed start to his European series, Laurence kicked things off on the weekend at Milan San Remo. We kick this ep off with a quick voice note from him live from the hotel room, and man, with the weather those boys had right at the start, I can tell you I'm glad I'm not a rider anymore.  I caught up with Laurence after the race to get his insight into how things played out, and how his race went. If you've not caught up with San Remo yet, go and get yourself up to speed - but safe to say, it wasn't an easy day for any of the riders, let alone our man Pithie. I won't spoil the result, but hearing how Laurence's team got around him, and his ‘never say die' attitude was super cool. Of course, San Remo is just the kick off for Pithie's Spring. Next up, he's off to Belgium - the home of the classics - for De Panne, E3, and Gent Wevelgem; three absolutely massive races that lead up to The Tour of Flanders at the start of April. Oh man, these are some of my absolute favourite races. The Belgian fans, the chaos in the bunch; in a messed up way, I kinda miss it - so I can't wait to hear how Laurence finds them. Laurence had a great ride at Wevelgem in 2024, so we spoke about what his expectations are for these first races back in Belgium to find out if he's doing anything this time around. Of course, aside from the racing, it's good to hear the young gun is still looking forward to getting familiar with a few Belgian beers and really soaking in the culture; that's something I'm particularly jealous of.  Finally, I spoke to one of Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe's sports directors - another Kiwi, ‘The Flying Mullet' himself; Shane Archbold. He gave me some great background on Laurence, what it's like working with him, the mechanics behind his transfer to Bora from FDJ, and what he's capable of this season. Shane's a good mate, and a real good judge of character, so it was great to hear that Laurence has really fit in with the team and found his feet within the structure straight away, so he can focus on trying to win some of the biggest races in the world.  Right guys, enjoy this episode. Our next catch up with Pithie will come next week after he, with a bit of luck, has just won the E3 and Wevelgem double…don't let me down, Laurence.  Cheers! Mitch   I'VE WRITTEN A BOOK!

It's a bumper Spotlight in a bumper week of big sports news. To cover it comprehensively, Ross & Gareth are joined by Sean Ingle of The Guardian to discuss the election of Kirsty Coventry to lead the International Olympic Committee. We explore her path to victory, enabled by Thomas Bach's support, and how she might lead the organization through looming challenges, including the integrity of the IOC's bid/host city selection process, and women's sport. On the subject of women's sport, Sean also chats to us about World Athletics' announcement that it will introduce pre-clearance screening for athletes wishing to be eligible for the women's category. It's a move that forms part of Sebastian Coe's declaration to 'doggedly' defend women's sport. We explore how sex screening works, and issues it may raise, and solve.We then shift to cycling to discuss a remarkable Milan-San Remo performance by Tadej Pogacar, showcasing superiority and versatility not seen in cycling for a very long time.

Two days before Emilly Johnston won the Argentario instalment of the Internazionali d'Italia Series, she chatted about all the new changes that have occurred in the past seven months. As the 2024 mountain bike world championships began at the end of this past August, Johnston signed with the team she'd race with in 2025, Scott-SRAM MTB Racing, the squad of Nino Schurter and Filippo Colombo. The two-year contract came just as the rider from Vancouver Island's Comox Valley was nearing the end of her final under-23 season. Her first year in the elite level would truly be with the elites of the sport.Johnston covers a wide range of topics In this in-depth interview. How had the geography of her home region shaped her as a rider? Why did she do a cool trick in a high-stakes race? Does she tie her own flies for fishing? Johnston talks about some of the people who've had a big effect on her career, including an innovative bike builder on Quadra Island. She shares her insights about the current state of Canadian women's cross country mountain biking and how, in a sense, she has two lives: a European one and a Comox Valley one.Also in this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, editor Matthew Pioro and writer Jake Williams chat about recent races. Milan-San Remo, men's and women's, were stunning events. XC racers had many successes in the UC Cup races in Fayetteville, Ark. Gent-Wevelgem is coming up. It's a race that Williams, a Luca Paolini doppelganger, has a particular fondness for.For more on one of Johnston's cycling influences, head to the podcast's back catalogue. In August 2020, two-time world champion Catharine Pendrel was featured. The episode, quite rightly, is titled “Catharine Pendrel is awesome.” Check it out.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP You can also watch this episode over on my YouTube channel here! Well, guys, it's that time again; The Race Communique is back and, of course, we kick this one off by unpacking an absolutely huge edition of Milan San Remo! Three absolute titans of the sport (me, Southam, and Durbo) come together to talk about the first monument of the season. We got to witness, as Pipo Ganna called them ‘Gods of cycling' go toe to toe on the slopes of the Cipressa and the Poggio and, boy, did it exceed expectations. The confidence and arrogance of Pog trying to go from the foot of the Cipressa, the absolute ice man that is Van Der Poel responding to his every move, and Ganna showing what an absolute animal he is to hang tough with the big boys on the climbs. We talk all about it and, I'll tell you what, I honestly think that's the best edition I've ever seen.  Durbo's Pelo Chat takes a look at the ‘Superteams' of the sport - the guys with cash to burn like UAE or Visma who can pick up the best riders; money no object. But are the superteams good or bad for the sport, and is riding for one of them actually all it's cracked up to be? In this month's Talking Tactics, Southam fills us in on the upcoming UCI meeting to discuss whether additional wild cards should be issued for the biggest races. Now that some of the biggest riders, the likes of Pidcock, Hirschi, and Alaphilippe, have stepped down to ProTeam level, race organisers are stuck between a rock and a hard place if they want to keep the classic second division teams happy whilst also getting the fan favourites at their races. Plus, the UCI undermining all the hard work the lower ranked World Tour teams over the last few years to avoid relegation - it's absolute chaos.  Of course, we wrap things up with the Communi-quiz. Southam's quiz master this month, and he's bought out the race commentary clips for Durbo and I to guess the rider and the race. This is a real toughy, but you racing nuts out there will love it.  You guys know by now how much I love sitting down with Luke and Tom to yarn about the races. As always make sure you sit back, relax, crack open a cold one, and enjoy this month's Race Communique.  The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

This week on the GTCC it's a hefty debrief of G's final Milan San Remo and a soggy opening day at the Volta a Catalunya. He's been a busy boy. Oh, and the team bus ran out of hot water. Long story. After G updates you all on that, it's time to head back a couple of months to sunnier times, and G's trip to Australia. While he was there, he headed to the driving range with his old, old teammate from Barloworld, Daryl Impey. Impey's a cult hero of the sport, a South African who wore the yellow jersey at the Tour and forged a brilliant career for himself. They chatted about the evolution of the sport across their careers, retirement transitions... and if G will ever get decent at golf. It's a cracker. We're just not sure we'll ever run Daryl's proposed GTCC Golf Day. Join us for this week's GTCC ROUVY ride right here: https://riders.rouvy.com/events/72d92560-01bc-4e07-b3d1-ce8a0f4f7d95.

Full unpack of Milan San Remo.

Ce samedi, Mathieu van der Poel a remporté son deuxième Milan-San Remo, avec un scénario bouleversé par l'attaque de Tadej Pogacar dès la Cipressa. Dans ce podcast Chasse-Patate, Matthieu, Anselme (abzh35) et Titouan (ElRojo) font le bilan de cette Classicissima historique, qui a également vu le retour de sa course féminine, remportée par Lorena Wiebes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4vcY1Ls4DE Programme 0:00 - Introduction 1:55 - Le résumé de la course 4:05 - L'un des meilleurs Milan-San Remo de l'histoire ? 14:36 - Pogacar à l'attaque dès la Cipressa 32:43 - Van der Poel, la bête noire de Pogacar ? 48:07 - Ganna pouvait-il faire mieux ? 53:00 - Les Français et les autres coureurs 59:31 - Le retour du Milan-San Remo féminin 1:08:55 - Conclusion Photo : Capture d'écran Eurosport - RCS Générique : Peluda Production

He's Ganna Poel up the Pog-gio! And other Milan-San Remo puns. How good was that weekend of bike racing? This week's Spin Cycle kicks off looking at Pogačar's team tactics in light of a behind-the-scenes video that dropped after the race. Things seemed to go mostly to plan, but did they? Then, why can't cycling have more races like MSR? How do you build proper launchpads? We have some ideas. Plus, Mads Pedersen's gut is not a place you want to be,  the UCI Track Champions League bit the dust, Marc Madiot thinks France is best, and Vingegaard is back riding again. 

Monumental monument. Les passionnés de cyclisme que nous sommes avons vécu un moment trop rare dans le calendrier des courses cyclistes avec ce Milan-San Remo qui restera sans doute dans la légende. L'une des plus belles courses de ces dernières années et sans doute son plus beau vainqueur en la personne d'un Mathieu Van der Poel de gala. Le Néerlandais qui a su une fois encore dompter le roi Tadej toujours bredouille dans les rues de San Remo.La Primavera est redevenue dingue, comment expliquer ce retour de flamme ? Pourquoi Pogi n'arrive pas à lâcher ses poursuivants sur cette course ? Peut-on craindre que les organisateurs changent le parcours pour favoriser Pogacar ? Peut-il progresser sur le sprint ? Comment expliquer la domination de Van der Poel ? Peut-il aller chercher encore mieux ? Les équipes de Grand Plateau dissèquent ce final de folie, ces 25 derniers kilomètres qui nous ont fait dresser les poils, et hurler de joie ou de désespoir devant nos écrans ou derrière nos postes de radio. Avec en invité exceptionnel le grand Mauro Gianetti, manager de la formation UAE Team Emirates.Avec Christophe Cessieux, Maria Azé, Pierre Koetschet et Jérôme Pineau.Production : Killian VeroveRéalisation : Kevin Paugam

Difficile d'affirmer que nous avons assisté à la plus belle Primavera de l'histoire mais on va se lancer dans ce cinquième numéro de notre podast vélo "On connaît nos classiques" : ce Milan-Sanremo 2025 était le plus beau, le plus passionnant, le plus spectaculaire dans son déroulement, du 21ème siècle. Rodrigo Beenkens, Jérôme Helguers, Cameron Vandenbroucke et Axel Merckx entourent Samuël Grulois pour un défriefing complet de ce formidable premier monument de l'année.

Lance, George, and Johan break down Mathieu Van Der Poel's incredible ride to win the 2025 Milan-Sanremo, which saw him win two out of the last three editions by beating Tadej Pogačar and Filippo Ganna in a three-rider sprint after Pogačar re-wrote the modern history of the race by attacking and riding clear on the Cipressa. The crew discusses the key moments of the race, what this performance says about Van Der Poel's current form, and how it could affect his upcoming battles against Pogačar and Wout van Aert in the Cobbled Classics.

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.

Sign us up. This week's Spin Cycle previews the best 15 minutes in bike racing, the finale of Milan-San Remo, and makes some guesses about the return of the women's MSR for the first time in 20 years. But first, we dive headlong into the UCI's hatred of nipples, some strange man management at Cofidis, the Tours de France coming back to the UK, and the potential for a new stage race in Colorado. 

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP It's no secret that the Spring Classics are my favourite races. I loved racing them, and I love watching them as a fan. But, in my 10th year of doing Life In The Peloton, you've heard all the stories I've got about the likes of Flanders & Roubaix; it's time for me to pass the torch. This season, I'm going to be covering the cobbles classics a little bit differently. I'm going to bring you with me inside the 2025 peloton as we follow young Kiwi up and coming classics star - Laurence Pithie. Laurence burst onto the scene last year when he won Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race in January, and went toe to toe with Van Der Poel and Pedersen at Gent Wevelgem, rounding out his classics campaign with a stellar 7th place at Roubaix.  I'm going to be chatting to Laurence before and after all the big races for the next few weeks - San Remo, Flanders, and Roubaix - to get insider information on how he's feeling, how his team are planning on tackling the races, and just how it feels to take on the superstars at the pointy end. He'll be sending me voice notes straight from the team bus straight after the finish to share his raw, unfiltered thoughts, and I can't wait to bring you along and share Laurence's 2025 classics journey with you guys.  After transferring from FDJ to Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe in the offie, Pithie is heading into this season as a co-leader with a really strong team. He'll be supported by class riders like Oier Lazkano, Gianni Moscon, Maxim Van Gils, Danny Van Poppel, Jordi Meeus, and heaps more - plus he'll have the wise words of Bernie Eisel and my old mate Heinrich Haussler down the radio from back in the team car; Bora really aren't messing around at the classics this year, and Laurence is a rider they believe can go all the way and knock out a big result. Fresh off an altitude training camp and a delayed start to his 2025 classics campaign, Laurence is about to kick things off at Milan San Remo, so I spoke to him to kick off this mini series and get his initial thoughts on the Spring Classics in 2025. A lot has changed since I retired, and these races are almost unrecognisable to me now, so it's great to see them through the eyes of a fresh, young, motivated rider with a real shot of winning BIG this season. Guys, I hope you enjoy part 1 of this series. I can't wait to bring you more from our man Laurence over the next few weeks. Hopefully, you'll join me in really rooting for the young Kiwi after listening to this. And Laurence; go and get it buddy. We're all behind you.  Cheers!

They analyze Magnus Sheffield's masterclass on the treacherous final stage in Nice, Filippo Ganna's surprising climbing prowess and Jonathan Milan's dominance in the sprints in Italy. Plus, they debate what these performances signal for the season ahead—who's primed for Milan-Sanremo, Jorgenson's potential as a future Tour de France contender, and whether we're witnessing a shift in the sport's power dynamics.   Become a WEDŪ Member Today to Unlock VIP Access: https://access.wedu.team/   Pique: For a limited time, get 20% off for life plus a free Starter Kit (rechargeable frother and glass beaker) when you grab the Pu'er Bundle.

With old grudges and new rivalries playing out on the gravel roads of Tuscany, Strade Bianche offered up plenty to talk about in this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Rose Manley and Denny Gray are joined by cycling broadcaster Rebecca Charlton to discuss all the juicy details, plus they look ahead to the return of Milan-Sanremo with a mini-feature about the race's predecessor, the Primavera Rosa. Ever since Demi Vollering's move to FDJ-Suez and Anna Van der Breggen announced her return to the peloton last year, anticipation of a fierce rivalry between the pair has been rising. After Strade Bianche and their first meeting at Setmana Valenciana, it is fair to say that the match-up has already more than exceeded expectations. Van der Breggen has proven to be the only rider in the peloton capable of matching Vollering for power and tactical nous, although Vollering has thus far always come away with the spoils. Strade Bianche also saw former world champion Pauline Ferrand-Prevot take third place, in her first spring Classic since 2018. Plus the race was a welcome showcase for the top riders in the peloton after something of a stalemate at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad which saw a surprise victory for Lotte Claes.  In anticipation of the inaugural Milano-Sanremo Donne, we take a look back at the race's precursor – the Primavera Rosa – which ran for seven editions from 1999 until 2005. The race took place on the last 118 kilometres of the men's Milan-Sanremo, on the same day and included the same Poggio and Cipressa climbs and Via Roma finish. We offer up a potted history of those editions and hear some first-hand accounts from people that were there including Marion Clignet, podium finishers Chantal Beltman and Ina Teutenberg, 2005 champion Trixi Worrack and photographer Mario Prato. Also on the agenda, hippopotamus races, bumping into your ex with 30 toilet rolls and the battle of the names: Nienke Vinke vs Lotte Claes.

Sprinting against Jasper Philipsen, navigating a slippery go-kart track, powering up a climb in Spain trying to put out more watts than three other finalists—those were some of the challenges Noah Ramsay faced this past December as he competed in Zwift Academy for its prize of a spot on the Alpecin-Deceuninck development team. In the end, Ramsay won.The pro road contract marks a big switch in Ramsay's cycling career. For the past few years, cross country has been the focus of the 22-year-old rider. This past fall, he was 11th at the Lake Placid World Cup XCO race and fifth in the short track event at the Mont-Sainte-Anne World Cup. Despite Ramsay's promise on the singletrack, he didn't have a team that could help him further his racing career. In August, a friend of Ramsay's recommended he try out for the Zwift Academy, a talent-identification competition supported by the virtual training platform. Ramsay made it to the finals, which were held in Spain this past December.In this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, Ramsay tells the behind-the-scenes story of his Zwift Academy win. Also, Ramsay's coach Peter Glassford of The Consummate Athlete gives an account of the rider's talents that have gotten him to the Alpecin-Deceuninck development team. Ramsay looks ahead to his upcoming road season, discusses his hopes for the next few years and muses about where mountain biking might fit in with his new road career.Also in this episode, editors Matthew Pioro and Matt Hansen, as well as feature writer Jake Williams, discuss the men's and women's Strade Bianche, and look to Trofeo Alfredo Binda and Milan-San Remo. For the Classicissima, the focus is more on the women's race, which is back after a 20-year hiatus. What's the right length for a race called “Milan-San Remo?”Recently, on the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast, another rider making a cycling-discipline switch was featured. This season, Mathias Guillemette is making the switch from track to the road. Give that episode a listen, too.This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast is supported by MS Bike. Its first rides are in June. There are two in Alberta, Airdrie to Olds and another from Leduc to Camrose. The latest ride of the season is in Waskesiu, Sask., in September. And there are eight more—in B.C., another Alberta one, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia.

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.

The boys are back in town for the second episode of Race Radio! Harry & Stu have passed their probation and been let loose on the mic once again to talk about what they're most excited for in the 2025 season. These boys are fanatical about pro cycling, and their enthusiasm is infectious, so it was great to hear them giving their overview of the coming season. As always, Harry's given me a blurb for the episode so you know what you're in for:  “Are you excited for the road racing season to start yet? In the latest episode of Life in the Peloton's Race Radio, we'll get you ready for another rollicking, rollercoaster year of pro cycling with our top ten things to look forward to in 2025.  From the new stars set to shine, the first women's Milan-San Remo, comeback Queens, the first ever road world championships to be held in Africa, and much more, we guarantee that this'll get you ready to rock and roll. Let's go!” I do love the Tour Down Under as the kick-off for the racing season, but the lull between TDU and Opening Weekend has always been a tough one to fill. This definitely got me even more excited for the big races to kick off - as if I wasn't buzzing already. I hope you love this one as much as I did and, remember, you can drop the boys an email at raceradio@lifeinthepeloton.com to let them know what you think of this ep, what you want to hear them discuss, or just to tell them you think they're handsome young-ish men!
