Going into Unbound this year as the defending champion, Rosa Klöser knew she was a marked woman. What she didn't expect was that the usual crashes and chaos of gravel's biggest event would start as soon as the first handful of miles. After a fall, a flat, and a wrong turn in the finish shoot, Rosa managed to walk away with fourth place. She caught up with Payson for a recovery spin the day after the race to talk about how her race went down, how she tried to combat the caginess of the chase group in order to catch the three-woman breakaway at the front, and how she set up her bike differently after last year. She also talks about the other half of her career, racing on the road with Canyon-SRAM. Earlier this year, she competed in Paris Roubaix, which provided her first opportunity to ride in a velodrome. Ride With Pace Ep3 - Unbound https://youtu.be/2_X38IkZehM?si=Vjw0fVvToCqCtHpM Silca.cc - use code WITHPACE for 15% off Maap privateer kits: https://maap.cc/us/products/privateer-p-m-pro-air-jersey-3-0-deep-purpleInstagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Herzlich Willkommen bei den JAN ULLRICH ULTRAS - dem einzigen Podcast, bei dem Höhentraining nicht bedeutet, dass man mit dem Aufzug in den dritten Stock fährt.Heute haben wir einen Gast, der im Radsport so tief drinsteckt, dass man ihn eigentlich mit Kettenöl taufen müsste. Ein Mann, der schon Kopfsteinpflaster geliebt hat, als wir noch dachten, Paris-Roubaix wär ein fancy Dessert.Er war Profi bei T-Mobile. Ja - DEM T-Mobile. Da, wo Jan Ullrich noch im rosa Trikot durch Frankreich geflogen ist und man dachte: Was soll da noch kommen? Antwort: Andreas Klier. Der Typ, der mit Sonnenbrille im Gesicht und Schotter unter den Zähnen durchs Feld gebrettert ist, als wär's ein ganz normaler Sonntag im Münsterland - nur eben mit 45 km/h.Flandern, Roubaix, Gent-Wevelgem - während wir uns beim ersten Nieselregen schon nach einer Wärmflasche umdrehen, hat der Mann gesagt: Jetzt wird's richtig geil.Und heute? Heute ist er sportlicher Leiter bei EF Education-EasyPost - das ist wie Lehrer sein, nur dass alle Schüler 6.000 Watt treten können und keiner die Hausaufgaben macht, weil sie gerade die Tour fahren.Also macht euch locker, schaltet in den großen Gang, und sagt hallo zu einer echten Radsport-Legende mit Carbon-Herz und Pavé-Seele: Andreas Klier!Lasst' gerne eine Bewertung bei Spotify oder Apple Podcast für uns da, empfiehlt uns weiter und/oder meldet Euch auch gerne bei Fragen/Anregungen über unseren Instagram-Account.Wie immer -> Bleibt' positiv.Das Leben ist schön!Eure JAN ULLRICH ULTRAS.

Fresh off hosting the 2nd annual Growler bike race and the 16th annual Levi's Gran Fondo, Levi sits down with Ted to talk about the state of cycling here in North America. The Growler has the crown of the highest purse of any one day race in the world... let that soak in for a second. Bigger than winning Paris-Roubaix or a Tour de France stage. $156,000 is up for grabs and the race draws road racers, the top gravel racers, mountain bikers, and more. Ted and Levi raced Tours of California together, lived in Girona at the same time, and were members of the same peloton so there's some interesting overlap that they can discuss and dissect in today's episode.

The Cicle Classic is England's answer to the spring classics. Paris-Roubaix is the Hell of the North so perhaps this ought to be known as the Beast in the East. The race celebrates its 20th anniversary this month, with the 2025 edition taking place on Sunday, April 27. Held in the East Midlands, the race criss-crosses the countryside, taking in rough, rutted farm tracks. If it was created today it would be considered a gravel race. The Tour of Flanders has the Koppenberg, Gent-Wevelgem has the Kemmelberg, Paris-Roubaix has the Arenberg – the Cicle Classic has Somerberg. Lionel Birnie explores the history and character of the UK's highest-ranked one-day race and hears from the founder Colin Clews who had the idea, Matt Stephens, who was third in the first edition two decades ago, Conor Dunne, who won in 2016 and James McCallum, who was on the podium in arguably the most dramatic and certainly the muddiest edition in 2012.

Dane Cash and Cosmo Catalano break down all the action from the men's Amstel Gold Race.

Plongée dans la vie fascinante de Mathieu Van der Poel. Ce coureur néerlandais, triple vainqueur de Paris-Roubaix, incarne l'excellence du cyclisme moderne grâce à son audace et ses attaques fulgurantes. Mais qui est vraiment Mathieu Van der Poel ? Portrait.

Josh, Alvin, and Levy unpack a massive week in tech that includes self-inflating tires winning Paris-Roubaix under a mountain biker, Pogačar's fresh V5RS, and an aero road bike that promises forward thrust in any wind conditions. The guys also dig into Allied's new Able that combines speed and tire clearance, the smart geometry of Norco's redesigned Search, and why (or why not) drop-bar mountain bikes make sense.

We've got a blockbuster episode of Spotlight for you today.We kick things off with an important discussion around women's sport and transgender athlete policies, following a landmark ruling from the UK Supreme Court on the legal definition of “woman” in the Equality Act. We know this topic won't be for everyone, so if you'd prefer to skip ahead to the sports performance and race insights, you can jump straight to that action at about 1:07:12 in the podcast.For those looking for insight on this important topic, Gareth and I unpack the Supreme Court decision—a ruling with far-reaching implications. We're joined by Helen Joyce, a leading women's rights advocate who was in the courtroom for the verdict. She explains why the decision matters, what it means for sports governing bodies, and how it could reshape the future of competitive sport.Then we shift gears into performance talk: world records fell in the pool and in the discus, and we explore how weather and tech have combined to break new ground. Paris-Roubaix delivered two standout races. In the women's event, race savvy beat strong legs (for once) as Pauline Ferrand-Prévot stormed to a solo victory in the Roubaix Velodrome. In the men's race, we got another much-anticipated clash between Pogacar and van der Poel. We break down the physiology behind their efforts, the tactics—including van der Poel's composed response to Pogacar's crash—and how plain bad luck robbed the race of a deeper duel.Gareth also dives into the UK's gym boom. With more people training than ever, we ask: is it all good news? Or is there more to the story? And finally, we celebrate our Discoursers—listeners and athletes around the world who've been tearing it up in races. Gareth shares some standout performances, and we invite you to join the community for world-class training insight and support.Show notesJoin our Discourse communityIf you enjoy the podcast, you'll love our Discourse community.

Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton Newsletter and Andrew Vontz of the Choose the Hard Way Podcast/The Better Lab break down the thrilling duel between Mathieu van der Poel and Tadej Pogačar at last weekend's Paris-Roubaix, debating if Pogačar's Richard Mille watch cost him the race and if there was anything the Tour de France favorite could have done to defeat Van der Poel, before previewing this weekend's Amstel Gold race.This episode is brought to you by Join Cycling. ⁠Get your first month free through this link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Beyond the Peloton newsletter⁠'s Tour of Flanders Preview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Choose the Hard Way Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

We are hitting the road for this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray in their little Bar Tabac just a stone's throw from the famous Paris Roubaix cobbles. They'll be calling up Rebecca Charlton to collectively cast an eye over this season's early Classics. Talk inevitably turns to SD Worx who have been the most successful of the teams so far, although they certainly haven't had it all their way. Their stars Lotte Kopecky and Lorena Wiebes have managed some mighty solo wins, often without the powerful team support that we've come to expect. Plus we transport our listeners to the pavé of Northern France in our mini feature. Follow along with Rose and Denny in a mad dash to the velodrome as they cover Paris-Roubaix Femmes. Soak up the atmosphere and hear from the likes of Paris-Roubaix debutant Imogen Wolff, former men's champion Magnus Backstedt and former Pédaleuse de Charme Marthe Truyen. We'll also be looking ahead to what is set to be a thrilling Ardennes Classic season with the return of the gripping rivalry between Anna Van der Breggen and Demi Vollering. Also on the agenda: good luck high fives, a mystery butterfly and Denny's got his crystal balls out again.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP You can also watch this episode over on my YouTube channel here! The chaos of the Cobbled Classics is over for another season. From Omloop, through E3 and Wevelgem, Flanders, and then the big one - Paris Roubaix; these are the biggest and best races on the calendar for me, so I was super excited to sit down with Tom Southam and Luke Durbridge to break down this year's edition of Paris Roubaix in this month's Race Communique. This year's Roubaix was an absolute cracker; totally flat out from the gun. Even before Arenberg - where the race used to really kick off back in my day - the bunch was strung out and the real favourites were taking huge chunks out of each other. Tom, Luke, and I run through the riders that really made this race such an epic edition. Of course, it was dominated by Mathieu Van Der Poel on his way to his third victory in a row, but what about Pogačar?! His first go at Roubaix and he's up there rubbing shoulders with the big boys, and I literally mean the big boys; he's ten kilos lighter than most of these guys! Southam made a good point actually; is he going to be carrying some extra timber into the Ardennes that kick off next week? Of course, we also had the women's race the day before. That's something I love about Roubaix; the men's and women's races being on different days means we get a whole weekend of Paris-Roubaix action! What a cool race, with absolute legend Pauline Ferrand-Prévot putting her immense off-road skills to use to become the first French rider to list that big cobblestone since Frédéric Guesdon in 1997. I absolutely loved to see the GOAT herself; Marianne Vos, riding in support of her Visma LAB team mate; for me, that's what makes her a true champion. Obviously, there's been other races going on aside from the cobbled classics. We wanted to talk briefly about the Tour of the Basque country, and for good reason; after a few years in the wilderness, Caleb Ewan is winning at the highest level again. What a move that transfer to Ineos turned out to be! It's so cool to see Caleb getting his hands in the air again, and I think it represents a real shift in mentality at Ineos - who have been looking a bit lost for a few seasons now.  Southam was actually down in the Basque country in the car for EF Pro cycling - who knocked out a stage win with young Ben Healy - so he gives us a quick breakdown of the race in this week's Talking Tactics. Healy's win came after a ridiculous 57km solo move, so this month Tom's talking about the art of the solo breakaway. We see these long range attacks sticking more and more these days; with everyone aero optimised and more and more data and information being fed to riders. Southam compared his view from the car to being behind a rider in a TT, and being able to feed him really accurate cues about the course ahead played a huge part in Healy's win.  Poor old Durbo got a bit cut off in this month's Pelo Chat, so we rolled it in ahead of the Communi-Quiz! Durbo wanted to talk about race programmes, and how the teams decide who's racing where. Of course, the Spring Classics is a savage block of racing; and plenty of riders don't make it all the way to the end owing to sickness or injury, which creates plenty of headaches for team directors trying to pull together squads at short notice.  As always, we wrapped up with the Communi-Quiz. Hosted by Durbo, it's a Roubaix themed ‘Who Am I?'. I've won a stage and the overall at the Tour of Beijing and Paris Roubaix - who am I?.....you'll have to listen to this month's Race Communique to find out. Well, guys, that's the Cobbled Classics done and dusted. The Ardennes are about to kick off to round out a monster Spring of racing which can mean only one thing; the next time I sit down to talk to Southam and Durbo will be in May just before the first Grandy of the year; The Giro d'Italia.  The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

Colnago has launched the V5Rs, claimed to be the lightest bike it has ever made. The new bike is the replacement for the V4Rs, which has just had an enviable send-off at the 2025 Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix under Tadej Pogačar. In this bonus podcast episode, digital editor Jack Luke sits down with road tech lead Ashley Quinlan to discuss Ash's early impressions of the new bike from a press event on Lake Garda, Italy. Of course, it's lighter and faster on paper, but is that enough to satisfy these two tech nerds?  Read the V5Rs news story here:  https://www.bikeradar.com/news/colnago-v5rs Read Ash's first-ride review here:  https://www.bikeradar.com/reviews/bike-reviews/colnago-v5rs-first-ride  Find out why Ash thinks Colnago might have missed an opportunity to be bolder here: https://www.bikeradar.com/features/opinion/the-colnago-v5rs-has-left-me-feeling-cold  Learn more about your ad choices.

We're back baby. That's right, Luke and G are reunited for the first official Watts Occurring of 2025. The season starts now. And, of course, there is a lot to catch up on - first and foremost, Sunday's Roubaix. And it was a cracker. Mathieu van der Poel won his third on the bounce (how nuts is that?) and Tadej Pogacar showed the world that one day he could well add it to his palmares. Luke's day was equally eventful and he told G all about his first Paris-Roubaix as a Sport Director. Attention now switches to the Ardennes - and G's eyeing up a final ride at Liege-Bastogne-Liege. What do you reckon: should he do it? Let us know by emailing gtcc@crowdnetwork.co.uk. We'll be back next week with a bumper pod. Want to try NordVPN?

George, Johan, and Spencer break down Mathieu van der Poel's stunning win at Paris-Roubaix, his third consecutive title at the brutal race, over race-debutant Tadej Pogačar and Mads Pedersen. The crew discusses the key moments of the race, where Van der Poel's win puts him amongst the all-time cobbled greats, how Pogačar's runner-up stacks up against other GC contenders' showings on the rough roads of northern France, and what Wout van Aert and Visma-Lease a Bike can take away from the race after missing out on the winning move.

Join Lionel Birnie, who is in the André-Pétrieux velodrome in Roubaix, and Daniel Friebe as they recap the 122nd edition of Paris-Roubaix. With Tadej Pogačar making his much-anticipated debut in the (senior) race, and Mathieu van der Poel aiming for a third consecutive victory – something that hasn't been done since Francesco Moser ruled the pavé (1978-1980), the Hell of the North was billed as a showdown between these generational talents. But with half-a-dozen other genuine contenders, it also promised to be an open race. Sponsored by Laka The Cycling Podcast's coverage of the spring Classics is supported by Laka.

There isn't anything else like the Queen of the Classics and, if this season so far is anything to go by, we've got an exciting weekend of racing in front of us. The women's field will face the thirty cobbled sectors under the sun on Saturday, while there's a chance of rain and mud for the men on Sunday as Tadej Pogačar aims to be the first reigning Tour de France champion to win the Hell of the North in decades. Velo's Andrew Hood, Jim Cotton, and Mike Levy sat down to chat about how to ride the cobbles like a pro, Roubaix bike setup, favorites and wildcards, the chances of anyone beating Kopecky in the velodrome (slim), and how van Aert, Pedersen, Ganna, and Van der Poel could tag team Pogi.

Yes, folks, the rider with 100% record at Paris Roubaix is back, the day before the big one.Claim your NSF/BIKMO T shirt here! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie return to discuss the latest racing and news in professional cycling - this week with ace TNT commentator Rob Hatch.   We revisit some of the big talking points after the Ronde van Vlaanderen at the weekend, including Mathieu van der Poel's disrupted preparation and what the result means for Eddy Merckx-Tadej Pogačar comparisons.  Of course on Sunday Pogačar could achieve a feat that no one since Merckx has managed - winning Paris-Roubaix as the reigning Tour de France champion. Can he do it? And if not, could the subject of another Coorevits Corner this week, Belgian sweetheart Wout Van Aert, be the man to thwart him?

In this Spotlight episode, Ross and Gareth tackle a provocative question: should sports embrace fatigue to make the show better? We kick off with rugby union, where fresh legs off the bench and player welfare are fuelling debates about injury risks. But things quickly get philosophical. Some sports are basically designed to test how much fatigue you can take. Others are compromised when fatigue creeps in — skills drop, mistakes rise — yet fatigue also cranks up the drama and emotion. So, which sports thrive when athletes are running on empty, and which ones fall apart? And what would happen if you dialed up fatigue across the board — would it wreck the sport or make it even better?We also take a quick spin through the opening Grand Slam Track meeting in Jamaica, and peek ahead to the LA Olympics, where a bunch of new sports and events just got announced. Plus, concussion protocols and management are in the spotlight: a study from Scotland provides the first results on the lowering of tackle height in the community game; cyclist Elisa Longo-Borghini was pulled mid-race at Flanders; and Aussie cricketer Will Pucovski retired after his 13th concussion. Finally, we throw out a few predictions for Paris-Roubaix this Sunday. Got thoughts on these topics?

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP I don't know about you guys, but I thought this year's edition of the Tour of Flanders was an absolute classic. It had everything: drama, excitement, chaos, and - of course - a worthy winner. I couldn't wait to catch up with our man on the ground, Laurence Pithie, to hear what happened between the barriers on the bergs of Flanders, and hear how he's feeling ahead of the Queen of the classics; Roubaix. Laurence went into Flanders after a pretty nasty crash in Dwars door Vlaanderen the Wednesday before. Fortunately, although he was a bit stiff and bruised, his legs came good and - after over 6 hours of brutal racing - he rolled home in an impressive 11th place. The TV cameras were pretty fixed on that leading group of Pog, Van Der Poel, Pedersen, and Van Aert for the last few hours of the race, so Pithie's ride went a bit under the radar - but that's one of the things I've loved most about getting these updates from him this season; hearing those stories the cameras miss. Although he's still only 22 years old, the way Laurence talks about these races shows just how experienced and mature as a rider he is. Hearing how he raced this year's edition compared to last year, and the changes he made to his tactics even just over the course of this classics season, it's easy to tell how professional he is; already a real seasoned pro. Laurence isn't racing Scheldeprijs - the midweek race between Flanders and Roubaix - so he actually made the decision to fly home for a few days of normality to reset before heading back to the cobbles for Paris Roubaix this Sunday. Flanders is such a huge event with so much build up, it can be pretty overwhelming - so breaking out the bubble for a few days should let Laurence reset and come back ready for all out war at Roubaix. I mean, just looking at the walls of fans on the roadside all the way around Flanders, I'd need a few days to get my hearing back, let alone my legs! I have absolutely loved these regular phone calls with Pithie and really trying to understand what those 3 weeks on the road are like from the inside. It's no secret that I absolutely love the Spring classics; the ins and outs, the crashes, the stories - I could talk about them all day. it's not all about the podium riders - every single rider in these races is giving absolutely everything, and I think that's why they mean so much to so many people; you've got 180 guys lining up ready to leave everything out there on the road.  Of course, it's not all over - the best is yet to come. This Sunday, the Queen of the Classics, the Hell of the North, my favourite race: Paris Roubaix. Last year Laurence bagged himself a classy 7th place, and he's looking to better that this time around. I could hear the fear in his voice when he told me the weather forecast; after one of the warmest, driest Springs on record - the rain is coming…oh, man, a wet Roubaix! It's the stuff of dreams…or nightmares. Whether the clouds break or not this weekend, I've got no doubt that Laurence is going to get to that iconic velodrome and round out a great Spring classics season with another pearler of a result. Who knows, he might even come home with a cobblestone of his own.  Guys, thanks for following along on this Spring Classics mini series. I hope you've enjoyed these updates from Laurence and the rest of the Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe team as much as I have. In fact, Laurence has actually agreed to give me a call after Roubaix so we can wrap up this series and hear about what went down on the pavé - a cheeky bonus ep. for you all.  Laurence; this is it now, mate, the big one. Go and get it. We're all rooting for you.  Cheers!

Lance, George, and Bradley, coming live from Mellow Johnny's in Austin, Texas, break down Tadej Pogačar's jaw-dropping ride to win the 2025 edition of the Tour of Flanders, which saw him ride clear of a truly elite group of one-day Galácticos to take his second career Flanders title, all in just three career starts. The crew discusses the key moments of the race, what this performance says about Pogačar's place in the sport's history, and how riders like Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert, Mads Pedersen, and Filippo Ganna can hope to challenge him next week over the cobblestones at Paris-Roubaix.

Paris-Roubaix is just around the corner and the geeks have been pondering just how wide we'll see the tyres of the pros go.
