Ian Whittingham co-founder of Sigma Sports - we talk bike business, bike racing and backs. What a story to go from doing bike mail orders in your bedroom to 29 years later being a massive online retailer and he talks us through the whole journey. We then cover bike racing, his IG Sigma team followed by Nuun Sigma Sports team and brief explanation of how Wiggo ended up on a Sigma Sports bike in the early days. Finally he was kind enough to declare chiro as a great tool for keeping his back healthy, esp as he doesn't get to cycle as much as he'd like. Enjoy.

After experiencing the painful symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis at just 17 years old Kirsty's life could have gone on a downward spiral. Instead she took up strength training with Mike, continued cycling and has not looked back.

A true star & very recognisable figure of British Cycling, there isn't much Matt Stephens hasn't achieved. From growing up racing across the UK scene in the 80s & 90s, turning professional & racing all over the world, through to becoming British Road Race National Champion in 1998, & more recently gracing our screens as a commentator & reporter for Eurosport's Cycling Coverage. We had the chance to sit down with Matt over a coffee here at G!RO to hear first hand what it was like racing in a scene that was a shadow of where we see cycling here in the UK today. Cycling is now a nationally celebrated sport, but for Matt to take the step to turn professional was a lesser trodden path in the 90s. Its clear that Matt still has the same passion now that he had as a youth racing for his local Hemel Hampstead Cycling Club & we loved sitting with him to hear his stories. This is hopefully one of a few more podcasts with this true gent! So sit back, grab a brew and enjoy!

Anything can happen on the Tour de France, as stage 19 proved. A dramatic, remarkable and astonishing day ended with a new leader of the race and the withdrawal of one of the French favourites. Richard Moore spent the afternoon in a helicopter, while Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau drove to Tignes – where the stage was supposed to finish – through a torrential rainstorm not realising that conditions behind them were even worse. Hail stones and a landslide caused the stage to be cut short and for a while no one knew what was going to happen. This episode of The Cycling Podcast captures the chaose and confusion of the day and we hear reaction from Team Ineos boss Dave Brailsford after his young rider Egan Bernal took the yellow jersey.

The hot weather finally broke and heavy rain fell on the run-in to Valloire but we are still none the wiser as to who will win the Tour de France. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau discuss the first of three Alpine stages and search for clues as to who is looking the strongest. What were Team Ineos’s tactics? Is Egan Bernal or Geraint Thomas their leader now? Can Julian Alaphilippe hold on? Can Thibaut Pinot launch an attack? And why does Daniel Oss keep saying “heavy rain”?  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.

What should have been a routine breakaway stage of the Tour de France turned into a dramatic day with the disqualification of two key support riders for Team Ineos and Jumbo-Visma. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau react to the decision to kick Luke Rowe and Tony Martin out of the Tour de France for an altercation on the road and have exclusive reaction from Team Ineos boss Dave Brailsford.

The Tour de France resumed after its rest day with a loop into the stunning countryside around Nîmes. With so many aggressive days of racing behind them, and with the Alps to come, it was hardly surprising that the day felt like a transitional stage – even if the race didn’t actually transition anywhere. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau reflect on the stage as Nîmes celebrates summer and the Tour, before looking ahead to the final stages in the Alps. We hear from Marc Sergeant, the Lotto-Soudal boss who signed Ewan at the start of the season, and his former sports director Matt White, who let him go from Mitchelton-Scott. There’s also news of Jakob Fuglsang’s withdrawal from the race following a crash and reaction from his Astana team. François explains when and why you should walk out of a bar in the south of France, Richard talks to AP journalist John Leicester about why today’s stage had special significance for him and his family and there’s another exciting episode of Outside the Team Bus.

If the finish to yesterday’s stage was exciting, stage 15 to Foix was a thriller from start to finish and leaves everyone going into the second rest day still wondering who is going to win the Tour de France. The momentum is with Thibaut Pinot, winner on the Col du Tourmalet yesterday and the man who made the biggest gains again today. And yet his fellow Frenchman Julian Alaphilippe still holds the yellow jersey and will have to be reeled in when the race reaches the Alps next week. With the rest day to come, Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau reflect on the best Tour for decades and ask what is going to happen next.

This most enthralling Tour de France took another twist on the Col du Tourmalet and Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau were there to witness the stage and record their thoughts as the race unfolded. The first big question asked of Julian Alaphilippe, the race leader, was whether he would cope on the first hors categorie mountain of the Tour, and the first time this race has gone above 2,000 metres. We asked a range of people whether they thought Alaphilippe could win the Tour, we ask what happened to Geraint Thomas and weigh up whether Alaphilippe or Thibaut Pinot are the most likely of the French contenders to win the race.

The Tour de France continues to intrigue and, with just over a week to go, the question of who is going to win the race is yet to be answered. Join Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau at their hillside retreat close to Pau where they reflect on the only individual time trial stage of the Tour. We expected Julian Alaphilippe to still be in yellow tonight but few thought he would win the stage and extend his lead. We ask what this means for the Tour now. Is Geraint Thomas still the favourite to win in Paris? Who were the other winners and losers in the race against the clock. We recap another absorbing stage, share some behind the scenes gossip and explain why there is no episode of Outside the Team Bus tonight.

With the rest day just 24 hours away, the peloton could have been forgiven for wanting a quiet day. No such luck for them because crosswinds in the final couple of hours of racing caused chaos and left several riders counting the cost of being caught out. Join Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau as they pick over the results and sort the winners from the losers. Why were several of the overall contenders caught out? How did Team Ineos manage to come out of it on the front foot again? What was George Bennett doing going back for bottles at the crucial moment? We discuss this and much more.

It’s Bastille Day in France - or as François reminds us, Le 14 Juillet, because no one calls it Bastille Day but there was to be no French stage winner in the Tour de France. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau recap the ninth stage, won by the South African Daryl Impey. We also hear from another rider outside his team bus and from Team Ineos doctor Richard Usher and the surgeon who operated on Chris Froome after the four-time Tour winner crashed heavily at the Critérium du Dauphiné last month.

After a snoozy stage on Friday, the Tour de France burst back into life with a barnstorming stage from Mâcon to St Etienne. Join Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau at their hotel – which they are sharing with the CCC, UAE Team Emirates, Sunweb and Cofidis teams – as they unpick a fascinating day’s racing. The stage was won by Thomas De Gendt in sensational fashion but behind them Julian Alaphilippe seized the initiative and took back the yellow jersey while Thibaut Pinot gained some time that might turn out to be important. Tune in for the usual mix of interviews and analysis, another episode of Outside the Team Bus with our first Pédaleur de Charme of the Tour, and a difference of opinion between Lionel and François regarding the way Pinot has attacked the first week of the race.

After the drama at La Planche des Belles Filles yesterday, the Tour de France settled in for a long, slow day in the sun. Heading into the Burgundy region famous for its snails, the peloton pedalled at a snail’s pace for much of the day. But there’s no such thing as a snoozy episode of The Cycling Podcast and so we join Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau at their hotel for a recap of the stage. The winner was Dylan Groenewegen – who is making a habit of winning stages like this having won the two least eventful stages of last year’s race – ahead of Caleb Ewan. We hear from Groenewegen and his Jumbo-Visma sports director Frans Maassen. We also hear from defending champion Geraint Thomas, current leader Giulio Ciccone and his Trek-Segafredo team-mate Koen De Kort and there’s another episode of Outside The Team Bus.

The Tour de France burst into life with a classic mountain stage on La Planche des Belles Filles, with the final gravel section seeming to put an element of doubt into the minds of the riders. Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau recap the sixth stage of the Tour which saw two debutants take the major honours. The stage was won by Belgian rider Dylan Teuns with his breakaway companion Giulio Ciccone pinching the yellow jersey by a fine margin despite a spirited late bid to keep it by Julian Alaphilippe. To begin with, we hear from a range of riders and team managers about what they expected from the stage and then discuss whether their predictions matched the reality. Spoiler: They didn’t. We ask why no one chased harder earlier in the stage, we weigh up who had a good day and who didn’t, and discuss the significance of Geraint Thomas’s strength in the final few hundred metres of the stage.

The Tour de France heads into the Vosges and Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau head to the Hotel Hassenforder to record their stage five podcast. The restaurant used to be owned by Roger Hassenforder, who won eight stages of the Tour in the 1950s. In fact, he presented the yellow jersey to Julian Alaphilippe on the podium after the stage. In another packed episode we discuss Peter Sagan’s 12th Tour stage win and hear from Team Ineos’s Egan Bernal. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Rapha and Science In Sport.

I’m joined today by Jason Turner. Jason and his business partner, Ian Whittingham, are the owners of Sigma Sports, an independent bike shop that has raised the bar for the industry. Jason and Ian's story is of two entrepreneurs, who began making their own luck as teenagers with freight ferry crossings from Belgium in a Vauxhall Nova filled with bicycle components. Their story is one of expansion, from Saturday morning sales from Turner’s bedroom, to a 9,000 square foot former office block - converted to a ‘destination store’ at a cost of £1m.  So whether you’re interested in the world of cycling, or want to know more about running a successful independent retail store, then I hope you enjoy this episode of the Inside Kingston™ podcast.    ~ LINKS & RESOURCES ~ Sigma Sports - Website & Twitter & Instagram Jason Turner - LinkedIn   ~ YOUR HOST ~  Hi, I'm Amyr Rocha-Lima.

From Champagne to quiche Lorraine, the Tour de France continues its journey, although the same team was celebrating again today. Elia Viviani followed his Deceuninck-Quick Step team-mate Julian Alaphilippe by winning the stage in Nancy. We discuss the sprint finish and dissect the tactics on the run-in to the line before hearing from Alexandre Kristoff’s lead-out man, and the youngest rider in the race, Jasper Philipsen in the latest edition of Outside the Team Bus. We also speak to Mike Teunissen, who spent two days in the yellow jersey but has returned to his regular Jumbo-Visma colours – coincidentally also yellow.
