Het voorjaar zit erop, en dat kan maar één ding betekenen: tijd om de balans op te maken. Max, Jappe en Dirk krijgen daarbij deze week versterking van niemand minder dan Patrick Lefevere. De man die nooit om een mening verlegen zit, blikt met ons terug op het voorjaar van The Wolfpack, zijn grootste spijt rond Mathieu van der Poel en zijn bewondering voor Kim Le Court.Maar het blijft niet bij terugblikken: we hebben het ook over de commercialisering van de koers, de stand van het vrouwenwielrennen en de vraag of Remco écht bij de ploeg blijft. Patrick deelt zijn ongezouten visie, terwijl Jappe zich aan een quiz over Afrikaanse coureurs waagt. Verder passeren ook Visma-Lease a Bike, de nieuwe CEO van Soudal Quick-Step en een ode aan Frank Vandenbroucke de revue.00:00 Intro05:41 Nieuwe CEO Jurgen Foré10:40 Het voorjaarsrapport van The Wolfpack14:55 De commercialisatie van de koers16:53 Blijft Remco bij de ploeg?19:20 Het voorjaar gefileerd24:15 Weinig spanning in Luik-Bastenaken-Luik29:50 Grootste spijt is Mathieu van der Poel 34:05 Kim Le Court wint bij de vrouwen 41:20 De rendabiliteit van het vrouwenwielrennen45:50 De quiz over Afrikaanse coureurs52:30 (Niet) geslaagd voorjaar van Lotte Kopecky55:27 De Tour de France nooit gewonnen57:18 Het voorjaar gefileerd1:03:50 Een minder dominant Visma-Lease a Bike1:09:17 Mooiste herinnering aan Frank Vandenbroucke1:18:10 De leugen van Vlad

Visma | Lease a Bike heeft de plannen voor 2025 aan de pers gepresenteerd en ook Soudal-Quick-Step deed dat voor het weekend. Hoog tijd voor een nieuwe aflevering van de WielerFlits Podcast (tevens de eerste van 2025), want er werd nogal wat nieuws geraapt in Spanje. Wat viel onze mannen op en hoe gaan we dat terug zien in de koers komend jaar? Maxim Horssels en Youri IJnsen praten je bij.Het opvallendste wapenfeit van de presentatie van Visma | Lease a Bike was de vaststelling dat de Nederlandse ploeg zonder Nederlanders naar de Tour de France gaat. Schrale troost: in de Giro d'Italia zien we er wel vijf stuks terug, maar met kopmannen Simon Yates (klassement), Wout van Aert (lastige sprintetappes) en Olav Kooij (massasprints) is van die vijf slechts één een uitgesproken leider voor de geelzwarten. Hoe uniek is een Tour zonder Nederlanders voor deze ploeg en waarom zijn die keuzes gemaakt?Er was echter meer. Zo evalueerde de ploeg de veel besproken Control Room, kiezen ze voor een ander programma vanwege het vele talent binnen de selectie en zoeken ze naar antwoorden om Tadej Pogačar te verslaan. Naar dat antwoord zoekt ook Remco Evenepoel, die eveneens slecht nieuws had op zijn persconferentie. De dubbele olympisch kampioen is nog dermate geblesseerd, dat hij nog minstens een kleine maand moet wachten voordat hij buiten kan trainen. Daarnaast is er nog vers nieuws van Spaanse bodem, dus luister snel!

Het mag begin december zijn, maar nieuwsluw is het allerminst in deze off season-week. Patrick Lefevere die plots zijn afscheid aankondigt, Picnic dat als nieuwe naamsponsor in Team dsm-firmenich PostNL stapt, Tadej Pogačar die het Vlaamse voorjaar gaat verslinden, zo kunnen we nog wel even doorgaan. Met andere woorden: praatstof genoeg voor een nieuwe WielerFlits Podcast. Na meer dan twintig jaar neemt Patrick Lefevere afscheid als CEO van zijn Soudal-Quick-Step. Raymond Kerckhoffs kent hem al jaren en vertelt wat Lefevere voor de wielersport heeft betekend. Daarnaast bracht Raymond woensdagavond de primeur dat Picnic de nieuwe hoofdsponsor van Team dsm-firmenich PostNL is. Hij vertelt ook wat die verandering teweeg gaat brengen bij de ploeg van Iwan Spekenbrink. Ook de eerste mediadagen van de wegploegen ligt achter ons, zo ook die van UAE Emirates. Of beter gezegd: die van Tadej Pogačar. De Sloveen presenteerde een wedstrijdprogramma voor de liefhebbers om duimen en vingers bij af te likken, met heel veel voorjaarsklassiekers. Hij twijfelt daarnaast tussen de Giro d'Italia en de Vuelta a España, maar Maxim en Youri stellen vast dat  de Giro met zijn huidige programma - dat loopt van de UAE Tour tot een met Luik-Bastenaken-Luik - eigenlijk op voorhand al een gesloten boek is. Daarnaast verdwijnt de Topcompetitie uit het Nederlandse wielrennen. Een hard gelag, of toch niet? Onze verslaggevers laten er hun licht over schijnen. Tot slot bespreken de mannen ook de terugkeer van Wout van Aert, Puck Pieterse en wereldkampioen U23 Tibor Del Grosso in de cross. Hun rentree laat niet lang meer op zich wachten en dat geldt ook voor Mathieu van der Poel. Onze mannen hebben een aantal zaken opgevangen en denken te weten waar de wereldkampioen op korte termijn zijn eerste opwachting maakt. Kortom, alle redenen om te luisteren!

On the eve of Time Magazine naming its ‘Person of the Year' for 2024, we offer absolutely no surprises by naming Tadej Pogačar our man of the year just past.  ‘Pog' has been briefing the media on what to expect from him in 2025 - and Fran Reyes has been on the ground in Spain taking notes. In this episode, Fran tells Daniel Friebe and Richard Abraham what he's heard from the Slovenian and some of those who either masterminded or assisted his all-conquering season.  Before all of that, we also discuss the two main news headlines of the week: Patrick Lefevere leaving his CEO position at Soudal-Quick Step and Tom Pidcock signing for Q36.5.  The Cycling Podcast presented by Shokz The Cycling Podcast is proudly brought to you by Shokz, pioneers of bone-conduction headphones.

Net voor de start van het nieuwe wielerseizoen kondigt Patrick Lefevere aan dat hij afzwaait als CEO van Soudal-Quick Step. Zijn nalatenschap is indrukwekkend. Met 22 monumenten, 7 wereldkampioenen op de weg en meer dan 1000 zeges in de koers mag hij zich “The Godfather” van de koers kronen. Sporza Daily blikt terug op zijn illustere carrière met wielerverslaggever Renaat Schotte, ex-renners Tom Boonen en Johan Musseeuw, maar ook Patrick Lefevere komt zelf aan het woord.

Het mocht niet “het jaar te veel” worden. En dus heeft Patrick Lefevere besloten om definitief te stoppen als CEO van Soudal Quick-Step. Lefevere speelde in op het verrassingseffect, want niemand had die aankondiging verwacht. Waarom was dit nu het ideale moment voor Lefevere om afscheid te nemen? En wie is zijn opvolger?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is de druk op jonge wielrenners te groot? Die vraag rijst nadat twee beloftevolle renners uit het ontwikkelingsteam van Soudal Quick Step, Gabriel Berg en Cormac Nisbet, aankondigden te kappen met het wielrennen. Xandres Vervloesem, zelf een groot wielertalent die er vroegtijdig de brui aan gaf, vergelijkt zijn verhaal met dat van nu, terwijl we met Francis Van Mechelen en Natascha Knaven-den Ouden bekijken hoe zij jonge wielertalenten optimaal proberen te begeleiden.

It's the final Tour de France episode, we're taking a deep dive into the most crucial job in cycling—the soigneur. Are they a butler? A friend? A rider's mum?We chatted with Kevin Verstaen, an experienced soigneur working for Soudal Quick-Step, who described the role as looking after the welfare of team members and being a "cyclist laborer."Soigneur stories often include humorous and challenging moments, and they usually see the riders more than their own family. Ultimately, a good soigneur is worth their weight in gold.Despite the long hours and demanding tasks, the role is fulfilling for those who love the sport, with good soigneurs being invaluable to the team.Hope you'll enjoy this episode!

His name is Phil Lowe, Press Officer for one of the sport's biggest and most historical WorldTour cycling teams, Soudal Quick-Step.I brought Phil on to the show because I believe many of us often find ourselves sitting on our couches, watching cycling races, Grand Tours, Classics, and Monuments, and wondering: what really happens behind the scenes at a WorldTour team? How do they handle the pressure from the outside world, especially in today's always-on social media environment, where a PR disaster can strike at any moment?Not to mention, they've got to plan, execute, and coordinate communication activations, social media, partner marketing campaigns, and more.We also talk about the team's mental health awareness campaign and the need to break the stigma surrounding mental health in sports and daily life. We conclude the interview by discussing the future of professional cycling and the changes we would like to see in the sport.I hope you'll enjoy the episode.Chapters00:00 Introduction02:11 Phil Lowe's Journey11:45 Remco Evenepoel13:30 Wolfpack Mentality16:03 Park of the Pack Mental Health Awareness22:12 Most Difficult Decision25:32 The Future of Pro-Cycling27:32 Ending – LINKS –Phil LoweMental Health CampaignSoudal Quick-StepHost: ⁠⁠Soren Jensen⁠⁠SEND US YOUR QUESTIONSIf you want your questions to be answered on air, be sure to submit your questions by sending us a message on social media or by email to⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast@castelli-cycling.com⁠⁠Follow Castelli on social:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram Triathlon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠We're also on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠STRAVA⁠⁠⁠ Hosted on Acast.

We're only 15 days into the 2024 Giro d'Italia, and already Tadej Pogačar has the race in his pocket. He leads second-placed Geraint Thomas by almost seven minutes. Before the Giro began, he had already won Strade Bianche, Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Volta a Catalunya. Soon he will be turning his sights to the Tour de France. Is he going to win every race he turns up to this season? In order to get perspective and context on his achievements, shortly after the Slovenian's Grand Tour masterclass on stage 15 to Livigno we caught up with Greg LeMond, a three-time winner of the Tour de France, who finished third on his Giro debut in 1985. The American tells us why he already puts Pogačar in the same class as Eddy Merckx, why he expects him to better and faster at the Tour de France, and why he loves to watch him race. Going into the Giro, Antonio Tiberi was renowned primarily for his disgraceful shooting of a cat. Over the race's opening fortnight, he's shown a very different side of himself, holding the pace of the GC favourites as he's taken a firm grip on the white jersey of best young rider. To get an insight into Italian cycling's new GC hope we hear from Tuttobici journalist Carlo Malvestio, who tells us that the rider dubbed "The Sniper" by some of his peers still has some way to go to redeem himself, but is winning the tifosi over with his performances on the road. The Giro sprints have dominated by one man, Lidl-Trek's Jonathan Milan, a towering presence who can produce equally towering power outputs when he gets a finish line in his sights. Milan's team director Gregory Rast tells us why the Italian phenomenon is already one of the leading sprinters in the sport and that he's only going to get better. Sticking with the sprinters, we focus too on Fabio Jakobsen. Last winter, the Dutchman moved from Soudal QuickStep to dsm-firmenich-PostNL on a three-year deal tasked with scoring enough wins to keep his team in the WorldTour. However, in 39 race days Jakobsen has only won once and has been forced to quit the Giro after crashing. Team director Matt Winston tells us why Jakobsen has struggled and why he will come good. Finally, we hear from Cofidis climber Harrison Wood. In his Giro diary, the young Briton talks about his time in the break on the epic stage over the Mortirolo and into Livigno, about helping Simon Geschke pick up points for the mountains jersey, and reveals the awfulness of the last 1.5km of that stage on a super-steep dirt road.

Tadej Pogačar has a convincing lead in the Giro d'Italia as the race pauses for the first rest day. With nine stages completed he's already won three stages and could easily have bagged five. Imperious on every terrain, he's even turned his hand to providing a devastatingly strong lead-out for his UAE team's sprinter, Juan Sebastián Molano. He's racing for fun and for victory. So, we ask, can anything stop him from cantering away with the maglia rosa as the race nears its Roman finale? In order to answer that question, we speak to the directors on the two teams that have pressed Pogačar hardest over the Giro's opening nine days. We hear first from Bora-Hansgrohe DS John Wakefield, who's full of praise for Bora leader Dani Martínez, and tells us "if the opportunity presents, we'll definitely go for it". The Ineos Grenadiers have signalled their determination to be aggressive since the opening day, when their Ecuadorian champion Jhonatan Narváez outsprinted Pogačar to become this Giro's first leader. After Narváez went oh so close to a second win in Naples, we spoke to Ineos team manager Steve Cummings, who explains why his team have been "excellent" since the race started and why cycling's history suggests that there's still a chance of Ineos leader Geraint Thomas taking the title. After Lewis Askey last time out, it's the turn of Harrison Wood to update us on his Giro progress. The Cofidis rider reflects on the stage victory taken by teammate Benjamin Thomas, the awful state of the Neapolitan roads, and how he's quickly learning how to save his personal "bullets" for exactly the right moment to fire them. We also reflect on the decision to select Richard Virenque as a torchbearer for the Olympic flame, which has arrived on French soil and is now being zig-zagging its way northwards from Marseille to Paris. A doper who consistently lied about his actions until the evidence of his cheating was overwhelming, does Virenque really embody the values of the Olympic Games? Last time out in our regular "How to Make Cycling Better" feature, Soudal QuickStep sprinter Luke Lamperti suggested getting rid of time trials in stage races. Now we hear from his former team boss at the Trinity Racing team, Pete Kennaugh, who explains why he'd do away with "cognitive gains".

Defending Tour de France champion Jonas Vingegaard is talking up his chances of being at the Grand Départ of this year's race in Florence on 29 June after the crash at Itzulia Basque Country that left him with serious injuries and complicated his Tour preparations hugely. But will he make it? And if he does, will he be in good enough shape to challenge for the yellow jersey yet again? At the end of a week in which Vingegaard made his first outdoor foray on two wheels since that horrific crash, we hear from Frederik Gernigon, a journalist for the Danish newspaper BT Sport, who has been closely following the Visma | Lease a Bike leader's progress. Gernigon outlines Vingegaard's likely programme going into the Tour, the shocked reaction to his crash in Denmark, and the likelihood of the Dane defending his title. We also speak to Israel-PremierTech coach Liam Holohan, who outlines the processes that comes into play when riders suffer serious injuries and are then guided back to the elite competitive level. Holohan explains why riders tend to push too hard too fast in these situations and how the backroom staff on pro teams ensure that riders recover fitness and form at a rate that doesn't affect their short- or long-term health. Going into a big weekend of racing at the Giro d'Italia, we analyse who are likely to be the most satisfied campaigners come the first rest day at the start of next week – it'll be no surprise at all that we're all tipping Tadej Pogačar to have a very happy Monday. Plus, we hear from our diarist Lewis Askey, who talks through his first week at the Giro, admitting that he's learned an awful lot in seven days, and not only from his evening viewing of Clarkson's Farm with roommate Laurence Pithie. While the Giro peloton were battling through the dust on Tuscany's white roads, a few hundred kilometres away, at the Tour of Hungary, Mark Cavendish clinched his second victory of the season. In the wake of that timely success, we caught up with his coach and Astana team director Vasilis Anastopoulos, who reveals the Manx sprinter's recent struggles, details Cavendish's intense training and racing programme going into the Tour de France which includes a start at the Tour de Suisse, and explains why the British sprinter's Hungarian success is a boost for the whole Astana team. In our regular "How to Make Cycling Better" feature, Soudal QuickStep sprinter Luke Lamperti proposes a radical way to make the action even more aggressive in stage races, a suggestion that will raise the hackles of fans of one particular racing discipline...

At 21 years old, Luke Lamperti is already riding for one of the biggest teams in the WorldTour, Soudal–Quick-Step, and he's hit the ground running. Since the season began, he's racked up podiums at the Challenge Mallorca, the Muscat Classic, and the Tour of Oman, solidifying his place as a young rider to watch. Before signing with Quick-Step, he raced alongside Tom Pidcock on the Trinity Racing development team where he honed his reputation as a formidable sprinter, but he's still figuring out where his skills lie. At the start of the season, Quick-Step manager Patrick Lefevere invoked Tom Boonen's name when speculating about Luke's potential as a Classics rider, and the team has already given the newcomer plenty of opportunities to flex his muscles.Luke sat down with Payson in Girona earlier this month to talk about his first few months in the WorldTour, including what it's like to have your idols become your teammates, coming to terms with just how good riders like Wout van Aert are when you have to race alongside them, and why his lifestyle hasn't changed much despite having joined the highest echelons of the sport. He also talks about growing up in a ranching family, his love of motocross, and keeping a level head despite the breathless media coverage surrounding his first season. Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter break down why the proposed merger between Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep failed to come to pass and how the two teams will move forward into the 2024 season as a result. They discuss how a major power player behind the scenes stepped in to end the deal and how the abrupt end of the saga has created an odd situation where almost everyone involved came out a winner.

Cycling clothing has come a long way in the last few years, both in terms of comfortable construction and our understanding of how it can speed us up or slow us down. On this podcast, Castelli team liaison Alvin Nordell joins Ben Delaney to talk about what the world's best atheltes use now and when, and also what all of us cyclists can and should do for clothing in various conditions. In warm weather, it's pretty easy: get a snug-fitting jersey and bibs. In cold weather, it's a bit trickier, and Alvin shares some tips from his decade-plus of experience in the clothing industry, including working with teams like Soudal—Quick-Step.

This week's episode features a comprehensive look back at the last monument of the season, Il Lombardia, and the latest example of Tadej Pogačar in just his latest annus mirabilis.  Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch also reflect on Thibaut Pinot's very noisy and memorable farewell, plus the full-stop on a few other notable careers last weekend. There's also the latest on the merger that apparently will now never be, between Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quickstep. The former's most decorated alumnus, Primož Roglič, is of course on his way to Bora-Hansgrohe, and their team boss, Ralph Denk tells us how he got his man.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter discuss the news that Mark Cavendish is returning for the 2024 season and why this is a win for his Astana team, Cavendish, and fans of the sport. They also speculate on what is going on behind the scenes with Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep, where Primož Roglič and Remco Evenepoel are headed for the upcoming season, and if there is more to the situation than we initially thought. 

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter discuss the growing rumors of a looming merger between the Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-QuickStep teams for the 2024 season, before attempting to break down how it would play out, the implications for each team's stakeholders, riders, and staff. They also go over how it would affect the off-season transfer market and the balance of power in the sport as a whole.

The Cycling Podcast returns this week with an in-depth look at the news story that has rocked the sport over the past few days: the revelation by Dutch website Wielerflits that the existing Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quick Step teams may be about to join forces. Daniel Friebe and ace Eurosport commentator Rob Hatch hear from the journalist who broke the story, Raymond Kerchoffs, and go on to discuss both the likelihood and the implications of any such move. Does it spell the end of the road for Primož Roglič at Jumbo-Visma ad the start of a new journey for Remco Evenepoel, perhaps alongside Jonas Vingegaard? We weigh up those possibilities and various permutations. There's the usual round-up of the week's other news, including results of last weekend's European Championships.
