De vierde etappe van de Tour de Femmes leek wel een kopie van die van gisteren. Weer Lorena Wiebes tegen Marianne Vos, maar nu met een triple lead-out van Anna van der Breggen. Hoe knap is het wat SD Worx doet nadat de aanvankelijke plannen volledig overboord moesten? En is er een gebrek aan respect in het vrouwenpeloton? Niek Goedvolk bespreekt het met Roxane Knetemann in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're welcoming Féminin listeners old and new to get into the Tour de France Femmes spirit with Rose Manley and Denny Gray as they meet up to preview the race over a platter of French cheeses.  In what proved to be a far longer “punchy” episode than anticipated, Rose and Denny share their top fives of the race to come. They discuss the top five things to look out for on the course, plus their top five GC contenders, interesting prospects and stage hunters. Plus they finish it off with some crucial guidance for new listeners to the Féminin pod: a top five of Féminin references so that everyone knows their Nienke Vinke Fan Club from their ‘Casio' Niewiadoma. Also on the agenda, the English for “fromagerie” and Denny gets trapped down a SD Worx vortex. 

Come and chow down on our Grand Tour sandwich episode! Deliciously filled with all the chat from a thrilling Giro d'Italia Women plus a look ahead to the imminent Tour de France Femmes in our mini feature about Breton cycling. Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton cover all the talking points from a Giro which saw the maglia rosa change hands several times. It took a daring strategy on the Queen stage from Elisa Longo Borghini to finally wrestle the overall victory from this year's breakthrough GC rider Marlen Reusser. And we ask a question rarely asked, where the heck were SD Worx? In our mini feature, we explore Breton cycling in light of next week's Tour de France Femmes Grand Départ in Brittany. The Cycling Podcast favourite François Thomazeau explains the history and heritage of the region, plus we hear from two Breton riders that have had outstanding Tours de France in recent years: Cédrine Kerbaol of EF Education Oatly and Maeva Squiban of UAE Team ADQ.  Also on the agenda: a café that floods once a day, Liane Lippert's many hats and a shocking revelation about Breton cheese that blows the Belgian cheese debate out the water.

In questo episodio abbiamo il grande onore e la straordinaria opportunità di portarvi all'interno del mondo di tre tra le atlete più vincenti del World Tour femminile: Lotte Kopecky, Anna van der Breggen ed Elena Cecchini. Tutte appartenenti alla potente formazione SD Worx, ci raccontano cosa significa allenarsi con costanza e umiltà nonostante la fama, cosa rende speciale un ritiro in altura a Livigno e quali sono gli obiettivi stagionali che le motivano ogni giorno. Un viaggio tra ambizione, sacrificio e spirito di squadra.

In questo episodio abbiamo il piacere di ospitare Elena Cecchini, ciclista della SD Worx, una delle squadre più forti del panorama World Tour.Con lei facciamo un viaggio esclusivo dentro la squadra: il rapporto con le compagne, il legame con i direttori sportivi e le emozioni che accompagnano i grandi appuntamenti della stagione, come il Giro d'Italia e il Tour de France Femmes.Un episodio da non perdere per scoprire il dietro le quinte del ciclismo ai massimi livelli.

SD Worx Ireland, a leading payroll and HR solutions provider, has announced the results of its latest survey which reveals one in five (21%) employees in Ireland confess to misusing leave policies and taking absences without a valid reason. However, 40% claim their team is experiencing issues related to employee absenteeism - suggesting employees are not owning up to it, or their colleagues are overly suspicious. The independent study was carried out by iVOX on behalf of SD Worx and surveyed 1,000 employees in Ireland to gain insights into the current job market and the concerns amongst today's workforces. Additionally, it exposes some common grievances among employees in Ireland and found that almost half (49%) feel they are underpaid for the work that they do. It also suggests that employees are feeling overworked, with 46% saying that their team is facing staff shortages and struggling to keep up with their current workload. This increases to nearly half (48%) of employees who expect their team to face worsening talent shortages over the coming years. Compounding these challenges, 43% of employees believe their team's skills gap cannot be easily filled. Despite this, 44% say they are strict with their workloads and schedules, solely focusing on what is necessary and not working overtime. Amidst these rising pressures, the survey found that 44% of employees in Ireland are currently looking for a new job, but 60% of those surveyed admit that it is difficult to find a job within the labour market right now. However, 63% of employees are motivated and passionate about their work, while 62% say that they would recommend their organisation to a friend looking for a job. Eimear Byrne, Country Leader, SD Worx Ireland, said: "This research highlights a growing sense of dissatisfaction among Ireland's workforce. With 39% of respondents saying their manager struggles with effective leadership, it's clear that many employees feel they're lacking valuable guidance and mentorship. As a result, we are now seeing a knock-on effect with more people actively seeking to change jobs and widespread concerns about staff shortages, as well as underpayment. This comes as the EU Pay Transparency Directive is due to be transposed into Irish law in June 2026 - if done right, this could be an opportunity to alleviate employees' pay concerns and help to build trust. "Ireland is at full employment and organisations are facing a critical need to re-evaluate how they engage and support employees. The changing economic landscape is making businesses more conservative and they are under increased pressure to keep operations running smoothly, while trying to retain talent. With skills shortages and rising absenteeism in the mix, it's becoming harder to strike that balance. Now is the time to invest in people strategies and provide employees with the support, development opportunities, and workplace culture they need to thrive. This will allow businesses to secure and retain top tier talent while also building more resilient and engaged workforces for the future." See more stories here.

In this special Arrivée episode, Rose Manley and Rebecca Charlton look back at the first Grand Tour of the year for the women's peloton, the Vuelta Femenina. The race marks the first World Tour stage race to see top rivals Anna Van der Breggen and Demi Vollering go head-to-head. Vollering may have had the edge so far this season but Van der Breggen has found further form since her comeback. And then there's fellow SD Worx alumnus Marlen Reusser who separated the two Dutch rivals on the podium at Setmana Valenciana earlier in the year. So where will the fabled red jersey land this time?

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.

On the men's side, Van der Poel was untouchable except for a water bottle on his way to a golden cobble hat trick, Tadej bonks, Mads breaks hearts, Wout diesels and sprinting at 140km to go.

Join Rose Manley and Denny Gray in the André Pétrieux velodrome as they record their post-race reaction to the fifth edition of Paris-Roubaix Femmes Avec Zwift.

Abby, Gracie and Loren have a lot to say this week about Sanremo Women. They dive into the tactics, how the race could have been won, and if it really needs to be longer. After, they look ahead to the two races on tap this week; Classic Brugge-De Panne and Gent Wevelgem. A full preview for those can be found in this week's Wheel Talk Newsletter.For more on Sanremo Women check out Matt's piece on EscapeCollective.com

Rose Manley and Jo Rowsell cast their eye over one of the most hotly anticipated races of the year, Milano-Sanremo Donne. The last time the race was staged for women was 20 years ago, leaving plenty of intrigue over how it would be approached by this current crop of riders. This season's battle of SD Worx versus Demi Vollering was expected to continue into this race. The Dutch team boasted both World Champion Lotte Kopecky and super sprinter Lorena Wiebes in their line-up, making them the team to beat. However, former alumnus Vollering – now of FDJ Suez – got the better of them at Strade Bianche and looked to do it again on the famous climbs of the Cipressa and Poggio.  There were plenty of contenders for the inaugural Milano Sanremo Donne title elsewhere too. Trofeo Binda champion Elisa Balsamo heads up Lidl-Trek, Elisa Longo Borghini looks to make a big impression as Italian champion and Kasia Niewiadoma races for the first time since her Strade Bianche crash. Arrivée is The Cycling Podcast's quick-fire race analysis show offering a first take on the biggest races. Join Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie as they discuss their first impressions of the opening Monument of the spring, the longest one-day race on the World Tour calendar, Milan-Sanremo.

Welcome back to Spin Cycle! We kick things off by diving headfirst into the opening weekend of the classics: Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.First up, Omloop. What a weird day of racing, especially from the women's peloton. How and why did FDJ and SD Worx let the break get 15 minutes? It was a game of chicken where everyone ended up as a chicken. In the men's race, the surprise came in the finale as small groups came back together, which they don't usually do, resulting in a bigger bunch sprint than we've seen in years. At least a lovely old lady got her Arnaud de Lie moment. At Kuurne, Kaden Groves got a yellow card and Jasper Philipsen was fastest. Is Caley's Jonathan Milan draft pick already looking foolish? At Tour du Rwanda, the final stage was cancelled due to bad conditions. Not a great sign ahead of the planned World Championships later this year.Finally, we like to end the show on a high note, so last up is the news that the 2027 Tour de France might start in the UK. Jonny is ecstatic. 

In the February episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Jo Rowsell pick over the UAE Tour, a race which often offers up some key insight for the season ahead. Plus we look at some of the junior world champions of the past in our mini feature. There's plenty to discuss from the UAE Tour, as Elisa Longo Borghini took a commanding overall victory while Lorena Wiebes went almost unchallenged as she swept up all three sprint stages. Some other big favourites didn't fare so well though. Pauline Ferrand Prévot has made no secret of her Tour de France Femmes ambitions since her comeback but was noticeably absent among the first finishers on the top of Jebel Hafeet. While the new line-up at FDJ-Suez failed to take home a top ten on any stage. In our mini feature we speak to former and present junior world champions and see how they've fared since hitting the elite ranks. We hear from Lucy Van der Haar nee Garner who retired five years ago, Canyon-SRAM rider Zoe Backstedt, current junior champion Cat Ferguson and Laura Stigger who was scouted by Anna van der Breggen to join SD Worx this year. Also on the agenda… more baby news, some deserved gloating by Jo and reminiscing over Orla's car sickness.

Geerike Schreurs spent nearly a decade as a WorldTour soigneur, taking care of some of the best riders in the world. Now, she's their teammate. The Dutch rider officially signed to SD Worx-Protime to race a combination of gravel and road this season, and even though she had a breakout season last year and snagged second place at Unbound, she says that this is the first time she's finally feeling like a pro.Payson caught up with Gee in Girona earlier this week to talk about how she made the transition to racing after so many years as a soigneur, what the team got up to during the non-training part of training camp, and her friendship with Anna van der Breggen. She also explains why being a soigneur is more physically challenging than being a pro cyclist, and discusses a gruesome injury she sustained last summer that she's still navigating.Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

SD Worx Ireland, a leading payroll and HR solutions provider, has announced the results of its latest research which found that 30% of employers in Ireland cite pay equity as a top challenge when it comes to rewarding employees. To tackle this, nearly three-quarters (74%) of Irish organisations say they are investing in pay equity initiatives. The independent study was commissioned by SD Worx and carried out by iVOX among 1,000 employers in Ireland to gain insights into how organisations are rewarding their employees and addressing gender pay inequity in a changing and competitive talent landscape. The EU Pay Transparency Directive, which came into force in 2023, requires Irish organisations to report and provide transparency across key areas including pay equity and gender pay gaps. SD Worx's research found that some 49% of employers in Ireland are committed to pay transparency, which would see the pay level of employees being made available to employees of similar grade in the organisation. Moreover, 43% of organisations cite pay transparency as a top challenge when rewarding employees. As the war for talent continues to rage, businesses are adopting more strategic approaches to rewards. More than half (51%) of employers say their reward policy plays an essential role in their reputation as an employer. As such, 31% are offering flexible wage payment dates, which could include paying employees early, or paying on special request. Some employees have the flexibility to choose how they would like to be rewarded, and 31% of employers say that workers can put together their own reward package based on an allocated budget. Aside from salary, employee rewards offered by Irish employers include bonuses and commission (53%), health and wellness benefits (48%), and vouchers (45%). The survey suggests that the rising cost of doing business is having a significant impact on employers. Over half (51%) say that their organisation is struggling to strike a balance between attractive rewards and manageable labour costs. The same number of employers state that total wage costs are on the rise, while 42% cited wage cost pressures as another key challenge when it comes to rewarding employees. Eimear Byrne, Country Leader, SD Worx Ireland, said: "Tackling pay inequity needs to be at the forefront of employers' agendas in Ireland, as equal pay for equivalent work should be the rule, not the exception. Businesses of all sizes must establish structures to effectively manage their pay transparency obligations, especially as mandatory gender pay gap reporting is extending to organisations with more than 50 employees in 2025. "Businesses must place their team members at the core of all business decisions - particularly in relation to rewards and remuneration. Not only will this lead to happier, engaged, and productive employees who are more likely to stay long-term, it will also set organisations apart as they look to attract new, skilled workers. "The ever-increasing cost of doing business is being felt across the board, and our research shows that Irish employers are finding it difficult to balance what employees want and need with what the business can reasonably afford to do. To navigate these challenges effectively, organisations need to be capable of delivering transparent reporting and supporting wage cost projections. These tools are essential for businesses to ensure sustainable success." See more stories here.

Riejanne Markus is a Dutch WorldTour rider who is currently racing with Lidl-Trek. She went professional over a decade ago and has moved from strength to strength, nabbing three national titles and finishing second overall at last year's Vuelta a España. Riejanne sat down with Payson in Girona this week to talk about her decision to join Lidl-Trek after four years with Visma-Lease a Bike, growing up in an athletic family (her dad and younger sister are speed skaters, and her other sister, Femke, races for SD Worx), and why she's still a staunch defender of race radios. She also talks about the highly publicized defeat of the Dutch team at the road World Championship last year, and how she broke the news of her team transfer to longtime teammate Marianne Voss. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

At only 21, Marie is already a star in the world of cyclocross and today we get the chance to learn more about her. We discuss the race in Namur and then dive into Marie's career; how she got her pro contract for team SD Worx, how she was inspired by Luxemburg hero Christine Majerus, and how she likes to work in team with the teammate Blanka Vas.

Joining Bobby in the Executive Chair this week is Eimear Byrne, Country Lead of SD Worx Ireland.

SD Worx Ireland, a leading payroll and HR solutions provider, has announced the results of their latest research which has revealed a trend of dissatisfaction with salary payments and processes among employees in Ireland. The research found that 21% of employees were paid late by their employers on several occasions in the last 12 months, while alarmingly, 27% reported errors in their salary calculations. The independent study was commissioned by SD Worx and carried out by iVOX among 1,000 employees in Ireland to gain insights into the efficiency and accuracy of payment processes in Ireland and how they are impacting the workforce. The findings point to a broader need for businesses to reassess how they manage payroll operations. The research also revealed that a significant portion of employees (39%) would prefer greater flexibility in choosing when they receive their salary, with the option for early access to better meet their financial needs. Moreover, transparency in payroll processes is a key issue with 10% of employees reporting that questions regarding their payslips remain unanswered, underscoring the need for clearer communication around payroll. This highlights the growing demand for payroll proficiency as employees seek greater autonomy over their finances. The survey suggests that as businesses continue to struggle with the hiring and retention of talented people, these issues could have a profound impact on their ability to do so. SD Worx's research found that 56% of employees consider salary to be the most important factor when choosing an organisation to work with. A similar proportion (54%), meanwhile, said that salary is a key factor for being engaged and motivated within an organisation. Given the motivational role that salary plays, unsurprisingly, some 40% of those surveyed said that dissatisfaction with their salary would be a main reason for leaving an employer. Eimear Byrne, Country Leader, SD Worx Ireland, said: "Getting payroll right and on-time is not just about compliance - it's about protecting the financial well-being of employees and sustaining a positive employer-employee relationship. A person's salary is deeply personal; it has a major and wide-reaching impact on employees' lives and enables them to pay their mortgage or rent, pay childcare costs, buy groceries, cover medical expenses, or even just buy a special gift for someone. "Payroll doesn't just impact the individual; it has a societal impact, too. By ensuring their payroll is clear and transparent, businesses can gain key insights into the equality and fairness of salary payments - helping them to determine areas for improvement. Part of this must include transparency for employees and ensuring that they understand how their salary figure is determined. This is also good for business, as our research underscores that an efficient and precise payroll process is crucial to fostering a motivated and loyal workforce. "At SD Worx, we see first-hand the influence that salary has on people's lives and encourage businesses to reassess their approach to payroll to ensure accuracy, openness and clarity for all employees. Our solution MegaPay empowers employers to analyse wage data, benchmark salaries, adjust pay frequencies and incorporate remuneration elements like travel allowances or performance bonuses, all while ensuring compliance with evolving payroll regulations. This helps businesses stay competitive while ensuring they can attract and retain top talent." See more stories here.

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

SD Worx, formerly Intelligo, a leading payroll and HR solutions provider, has announced the results of its latest research which reveals the high levels of financial stress being felt by employees in Ireland. It found that nearly half (44%) of employees in Ireland are experiencing financial stress, while a third (33%) do not believe that their organisation shows concern for their financial wellbeing or reducing this stress. The independent study was commissioned by SD Worx and carried out by iVOX among 1,000 employees in Ireland to gain insights into their financial concerns and wellbeing. As the cost of living continues to rise, 41% of those surveyed believe that their employer did not adequately compensate for inflation last year, while 44% said that they would like to be able to request a salary advance. Just 28% of workers feel like they have a significant influence in their salary negotiations. SD Worx, which has software solutions that can support dynamic salary adjustments, including inflation-based salary reviews, found that many employees in Ireland believe they are not adequately compensated. Some 27% say they are dissatisfied with their complete reward package, which includes their salary, bonus, and other fringe benefits such as health insurance. The same percentage are not satisfied with the monetary part of their package such as the base salary and bonus. Meanwhile, 29% reported that personal performance is not sufficiently rewarded within their workplace. The survey also suggests that financial stress among employees can have a major impact on businesses. Some 23% of employees say that they would leave a job if they were dissatisfied with their financial stability and job security. Eimear Byrne, Country Leader, SD Worx Ireland, said: "In the current economic climate, organisations must take into account the impact that adequate rewards packages have on employees' financial wellbeing. Our research shows that employees are grappling with rising costs and are concerned with their financial stability. When not reflected by proportionate salary increases, the increasing cost of living amplifies the stress and pressure that employees and their families are placed under. "It's crucial that employers take a step back and understand the influence that this stress can have on their employees, both inside and outside of work. Payroll shouldn't be a silo - payroll and HR are closely linked, and they must work together to ensure a happy and well-rounded workforce. SD Worx's integrated payroll and HR software can enable more efficient salary management to support cost of living adjustments, enhance employees' financial wellbeing through industry insights and benchmarking, and adjust rewards packages to more accurately reflect individual performance - providing a holistic approach to improving the employee experience."

The Cycling Podcast Féminin has everything you need to know about what has quickly become the biggest race in women's cycling - the Tour de France Femmes. Rose Manley and Denny Gray take a close look at the eight stages that will take the riders from Rotterdam to the Alps across a week of racing. Special attention is paid to the upcoming Queen stage in our mini feature on Alpe d'Huez. While the men's peloton have visited the iconic climb 31 times at the Tour, the women last raced there over 30 years ago during the Tour Feminin. We investigate the origins of the Alpe's legend and speak to some female racers who have competed there in the past. Plus Rose and Denny weigh up who might be the biggest contenders for the fabled yellow jersey. While Demi Vollering has looked unbeatable across this year's stage races, she lines up at the Tour with a somewhat depleted SD Worx team who are missing some of their strongest domestiques. Meanwhile Kasia Niewiadoma has enjoyed something of a resurgence this year, supported by a Canyon-SRAM squad which continues to discover new depths. Plus no-one can discount Giro d'Italia winner Elisa Longo Borghini, looking to make it a Giro-Tour double. And while the racing is highly anticipated, so too are the cheese possibilities as Rose and Denny prepare to embark on their own Tour de France, where they will be doing daily podcasts on-the-ground, beginning on 12th August.

In this month's episode of Féminin, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Orla Chennaoui cast their eyes over recent racing at the Tour de Suisse and come dangerously close to speculation as they ponder what it might mean for the year's biggest races and beyond.  Demi Vollering's winning run shows no signs of letting up after taking three stages and the overall win at the Tour de Suisse. But how much could her expected departure from SD Worx at the end of the season stifle her ambitions? And who are her likely rivals?  Plus, this month's mini feature follows four riders and their changing fortunes at the Tour of Britain Women. We hand the microphone over to SD Worx super domestique Christine Majerus, DSM-firmenich road captain Pfeiffer Georgi, youngest rider in the race Eilidh Shaw and Lucy Harris, a full time meteorological data scientist competing at her first ever WWT race. And lastly we look ahead to the forthcoming women's Giro d'Italia which hasn't been won by anyone other than Anna van der Breggen or Annemiek Van Vleuten since 2016. The route boasting time trials, sprints, hilly stages and a fearsome finish on Blockhaus, and with Demi Vollering not starting, we look at who might be capable of winning the maglia rosa. We discuss emerging talents Neve Bradbury and Kim Cadzow and Lidl-Trek's joint leaders of Elisa Longo Borghini and Gaia Realini.

In the May episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, Rose Manley, Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton look back over the recent Spanish stage racing from the comfort of their own cabaña. Questions may have hung over Demi Vollering's form after a consistent if lacklustre run in the Spring Classics, but the SD Worx rider answered in no uncertain manner with three dominant performances across the Vuelta Femenina, Itzulia Women and Vuelta a Burgos. Some unexpected rivals emerged though, most notably Evita Muzic who is priming herself to be France's great hope at this year's Tour de France Femmes. The team also discuss a huge comeback win for Lotta Henttala at the Vuelta a Burgos, her first victory in over five years after struggles with both her physical and mental health. This month's feature visits the topic of latecomers to the sport. These are riders who make the jump from regular jobs to elite racing careers in their late 20s and 30s. We hear from Jayco-Alula's Mavi Garcia, Movistar's Mareille Meijering and Coop-Repsol's Monica Greenwood about their journeys into cycling and the peculiar life lessons they've learned along the way.

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

Our mini-feature this month focuses on the final riders to complete Paris-Roubaix. Riders who have had to overcome difficult circumstances to reach the end of one of the most formidable races in cycling, even when they finished way outside of the time limit. We speak to Ilaria Sanguineti, Eluned King and Senne Knaven about what motivated them to push past crashes, injuries and calamitous conditions to reach the famed velodrome and what it is like to ride the famous cobbles once the race is already long gone. We also have plenty of race analysis from the first few Classics of the season. Rose Manley is joined by Denny Gray and Rebecca Charlton to pick apart what could be a changing of the guard at the top of the women's peloton. Elisa Balsamo outsprinted rider-of-the-moment Lotte Kopecky to take the spoils at Trofeo Binda after a huge effort from her team. With Lidl-Trek finally taking the top spot after improving results and rising confidence, we ask: what gave Lidl-Trek the winning edge and could it finally end SD Worx's winning dominance? We also discuss Ellen Van Dijk's victorious return from maternity leave, pick out rising stars Mareille Meijering and Puck Pieterse, and make a rare detour on to the track to reflect on Laura Kenny's golden career following her retirement.

Yes, it's the most wonderful time of year… Christmas quiz time! Reigning champ (or so she claims) Orla Chennaoui pits herself against quiz debutant Denny Gray in Rose Manley's fiendish Yuletide puzzler. Let your brain be bamboozled by humdingers like, how many corners were there in the World Champs course? Did Demi Vollering really explain her teammate's toilet habits in a post-race interview? And most crucially, which rider is “Orange Bumcrease”? As is only appropriate at Christmas time, prepare for a whole load of sledging on all sides. Before all that, Rose, Orla and Denny reveal their racing highlights of the year and in a Cycling Podcast first, Denny closes the show with his performance of “12 Days of SD Worx-mas”.  Merry Christmas to all our listeners!

Ali and Mari are joined by Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter to go through the recently unveiled route for the 2024 Tour de France Femmes, and break down the course, which features incredibly varied terrain through eight stages over seven days that will test every facet of the eventual winner's skillset. The crew dives into which riders are suited for this dynamic course, and who, if anyone, can seriously challenge defending champion Demi Vollering and her SD-Worx team. They also discuss if the new dates, which place the race in mid-August following the Olympics instead of directly after the Men's Tour de France in July, will help, or hurt, the effort to drive more viewers to the event.
