DESCRIPTION: Hilarious Commentary on Documentary Film "Supersapiens"

Tim fills us in on the last week in the snow. First Wheel was founded by Daniel Barry, a mechanical engineer and endurance athlete. Daniel has spent years balancing life as a professional engineer with life on the road as a professional cyclist for a number of continental teams. The experience of racing in a team environment in some of the biggest races on the world cycling calendar has greatly influenced his approach to engineering and design. He now combines his sporting and academic passions in the development of high-performance sports equipment and product engineering. We chat to Dan about the incredible work he's doing on making bespoke front ends to optimise bike performance.

We ate some business PB+Js to fuel up for this great episode! The main training topic was on fueling like your athletic life depends on it. Erase all of your preconceived notions and ask this question: When you're already tired and you're still a couple hours away from home, what do you do? If you're anything like many of the best endurance athletes in the world, you learn to stuff down as many calories as you reasonably can stomach. We break it down in a fueling tutorial, through the lens of a 100-mile bike ride we did this weekend, mixing in lessons from performance science. What people think is an endurance limitation is often a fueling limitation. Disclaimer: if you're riding with Megan, you may still suffer, but at least you'll survive. Probably. We also talked about athlete contracts, and why there is so little transparency for professional runners. We're talking numbers, strategy, and some of the nitty gritty tactics that may be interesting for anyone who cares about business negotiations. Courtney and Jim are worth approximately twelve bajillion dollars. And the buffet was full with awesome topics! Other topics: at-home massage, parking lots loops, enhancing fatigue resistance, using bike training for run fitness, lessons from Megan's biggest training week ever, good doctors, a new study on supershoes for female runners, periodization of training for a world-class cyclist, the World Indoor Track Champs, Elle St. Pierre's postpartum swag, Supersapiens shutting down, AI agents, huge prize money at Tough Mudder, the Mark Cavendish documentary, and hot takes. Stick around for an incredible Listener Corner submission about faith. Just forgive us for what we say the water turns into.

Learn more about everything at our home page www.diabetes-connections.com  Reach out with questions or comments: info@diabetes-connections.com   Hello and welcome to Diabetes Connections In the News! I'm Stacey Simms and these are the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now XX In the news is brought to you by the T1D Exchange a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving outcomes for the entire T1D population. XX Big week of news following the 2023 ADA Scientific Sessions conference. What follows is just the tip of the information iceberg, so please follow the links in the show notes to much more. -- XX Top story though isn't from ADA – but a new FDA approval.. for a pancreatic islet cell therapy to treat type 1. It's called donislecel, developed from cadaver donors and giving as a single infusion straight into the liver. Immunosuppression is required to maintain cell viability, just as it is required to support a transplanted kidney or other organ. Approval was based on what seems to be a very small study – 30 people with type 1 who had hypoglycemic unawareness and who received between one and three infusions of donislecel. After one year, 11 people did not need to dose insulin.. 10 stayed that way for more than five years. But five people in the study were not able to stop dosing insulin at all. This method is different from what Vertex and Sernova are trying to do with stem cell therapy. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/993854 XX Vertex moves forward on their clinical trial of islet stem cell therapy. All six patients treated with VX-880 had undetectable fasting C-peptide (endogenous insulin secretion) at baseline, a history of recurrent SHEs in the year prior to treatment and required an average of 34.0 units of insulin per day. Following treatment, all six patients demonstrated endogenous insulin secretion, improved glycemic control as measured by HbA1c, improved time-in-range on continuous glucose monitoring, and reduction or elimination of exogenous insulin use. Two patient are completely insulin independent after one year – with an A1C of 5.3 compard to 8.6 at baseline.. the other 6.0 with a 7.6 at baseline – again the ”after” number is without taking insulin. As a result of these safety and efficacy data in Parts A and B, the independent data review committee has recommended moving to Part C of the trial, which allows for concurrent dosing of patients at the full target dose of VX-880. https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230623446641/en/Vertex-Presents-Positive-VX-880-Results-From-Ongoing-Phase-12-Study-in-Type-1-Diabetes-at-the-American-Diabetes-Association-83rd-Scientific-Sessions XX Sernova also reports good results with their cell pouch system. Five of the six patients who have completed implantation continue to experience insulin independence for periods ranging from six months to more than three years. The sixth patient only recently completed the protocol-defined islet transplants.. so no results yet. There is a second group testing a larger cell pouch. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/sernova-interim-data-cell-pouch-system/ XX Big news from ADA about all of the type 2 and obesity drugs you've likely heard about.. here are some headlines: SURMOUNT-2 clinical trial evaluating tirzepatide – brand name Mounjaro - for weight loss in adults with obesity or overweight and type 2 diabetes. Average weight loss was 15.7% at the highest dose, with many other health benefits such as lower A1C levels; reduction in waist circumference, and body mass index; and improvements in cardiometabolic disease risk factors such as lipid levels, cholesterol, and blood pressure. That 15 percent weight loss was about 34 pounds and the a1c reduction for half of those in the study went down to 5.7 which is considered nondiabetic. Mounjaro is currently approved for type 2 and the FDA could approve Mounjaro regardless of diabetes status later this year. https://diatribe.org/new-lilly-trial-results-show-big-weight-loss-results-positioning-mounjaro-obesity-drug-approval XX A study called PIONEER looks at oral semaglutides – some calling it the Ozempic pill. When compared to other anti-diabetic medications such as Jardiance, Januvia and Victoza, people taking the oral semaglutide say 1% or or more reduction of HbA1c compared to those treated with other anti-diabetic medicines. They also were more like to achieve a 5% or more reduction of body weight. Note: this was not a study comparing a semaglutide pill with the same type of injection. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20230607/Oral-semaglutide-outperforms-other-medications-in-type-2-diabetes-treatment-significantly-reducing-HbA1c-and-body-weight.aspx XX And look for two additional new drugs to treat obesity in the next few years.. orforglipron, is easier to use and to produce, and it will probably be cheaper than existing treatments. The second, retatrutide, has an unprecedented level of efficacy, and could raise the bar for pharmacological obesity treatment. Orforglipron and retatrutide both mimic hormones produced by the lining of the gut in response to certain nutrients. These hormones help to slow the passage of food through the digestive tract and lower appetite by acting on receptors in the brain — both effects that reduce people's desire to eat and help them to lose weight. Orfoglipron is a non-peptide molecule that researchers say is easy to produce and is a pill.. a lower price is anticipated for this one. Retratritude looks like it could help people lose even more weight than Mounjaro. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-02092-9 XX Dexcom announces a new product in the US – coming in 2024 – designed for people with type 2 who don't use insulin. This will be built on the G7 hardware, but with different software and a 15 day sensor. CEO Kevin Sayer also announced that the G7 will be able to share data direct to the apple watch https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230623025076/en/Global-Continuous-Glucose-Monitoring-Pioneer-Dexcom-Reveals-New-Plans-to-Bring-Sensing-Technology-to-Millions-More XX Abbott will partner with Weight Watchers - people who have been prescribed one of Abbott's FreeStyle Libre 14-Day or FreeStyle Libre 2 sensors and who are using the WeightWatchers diet plan to see their CGM data directly in the WeightWatchers app. This is also a study where Abbott will launch two pilot programs directed at using CGM data to help people with Type 2 diabetes adjust and manage their dietary habits, regardless of whether they're on insulin therapy. XX A little bit more news about Abbott's dual glucose and ketone sensor under development. Announced a last year's ADA, the company says it's moving forward through R&D Separately from the Type 2 CGM push, Taub also offered an update on the dual glucose ketone sensor that's currently under development at Abbott and that the company first announced at last year's ADA conference. The sensor will be aimed at catching rising ketone levels as early as possible to help avoid cases of diabetic ketoacidosis. An Abbot executive says – quote - “There's so much that we stand to learn about ketones because there hasn't been a continuous sensor for them before, so there's really very little we know about the evolution of ketones “ https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/ada-abbott-pushes-widespread-cgm-use-type-2-diabetes-weightwatchers-ada-collabs XX Commercial XX Beta Bionics has received FDA 510(k) clearance for the compatibility of the Fiasp Pumpcart prefilled insulin cartridge with the iLet automated insulin-delivery system. The iLet is a bionic pancreas that fully automates 100% of all user insulin doses, providing users with the choice of three insulins, Novolog; Humalog; and Fiasp Pumpcart. The device eases diabetes management in everyday life and almost eliminates the expertise that has been required in the past to set up and manage a traditional insulin pump. In May 2023, Beta Bionics was awarded FDA approval for the iLet device. The iLet manages glucose levels with just a meal announcement and is paired with a Dexcom G6 Continuous Glucose Monitoring System for glucose readings. All that is required for set-up is the user's weight. While there is a need for carbohydrate awareness, no carb counting is necessary. Bolusing, correction factors, insulin-to-carb ratios, and pre-set basal rates are also unnecessary. Beta Bionics president and CEO Sean Saint said: “Beta Bionics has been working tirelessly to create an insulin delivery system that offers less burden and more convenience for the type 1 community. Since launching last month, the iLet bionic pancreas is now available and clinics and users are being trained on its simple design and easy management features. “When Fiasp Pumpcart prefilled cartridges are available, users will save time not having to manually fill cartridges and will have more choice for their diabetes management.” https://www.medicaldevice-network.com/news/beta-bionics-gains-fda-clearance-for-prefilled-insulin-cartridge/ XX Oura – the ring that tracks your sleep – will start sending info to three CGM info companies.. January, Supersapiens and Veri. All three of these companies provide software based off of the Libre CGM.

How do you beat SD Worx? That's the question that Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks are looking to answer in this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. With the Spring Classics now at an end and with an Ardennes triple in the bag for Demi Vollering, SD Worx already have 13 victories from four different riders this season. What makes their dominance all the more impressive is the nature of those wins, coming from almost every racing scenario possible. The Cycling Podcast team look then to explore what has made SD Worx almost unbeatable, taking into consideration the tactics, riders and peloton psychology that has secured their winning ways. Of course, special mention is given to Paris-Roubaix, one of the few occasions where SD Worx were beaten. We hear from Lizzy's day at the race as she followed the action on the cobbles and witnessed first-hand her teammate Alison Jackson take the pavé in spectacular style. We also bring all the latest news from the professional peloton, including the fallout from the mass exodus from the Zaaf Cycling team.

It was billed as a clash of the Titans but Liège-Bastogne-Liège turned into the latest episode of the Remco Evenepoel show after Tadej Pogačar's early crash.  In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by former Liège winner and Pogačar team-mate Dan Martin to reflect on Sunday's race. We also consider what may be the respective postscripts to La Doyenne - for Evenepoel and his Giro d'Italia bid and Pogačar's chances of being fit for the Tour de France.  In the final part of the episode, we hear from the newly elected president of the Cyclistes Professionnels Associés, Adam Hansen. We also pay our respects to long-time friend of the pod and ex-Astana press chief Chris Baldwin, who sadly passed away last week.

Rose Manley and Lizzy Banks serve up their takes on an edition of Liege-Bastogne-Liege that ranks highly on the Belgian waffle-o-meter. SD Worx's Demi Vollering comes into the race with an Ardennes Classics triple on her mind. But with more teams taking more risks as the Spring season comes to a close, her ascension is anything but a forgone conclusion. Could her closest opponent in fact come from her very own team?

The spring classics draw to a close with the fourth Monument of the season, Liège-Bastogne-Liège. After a spring dominated by the sport's biggest names, La Doyenne, the oldest of the Monuments, was shaping up to be a showdown between Tadej Pogačar, winner of the Tour of Flanders, Amstel Gold Race and Flèche Wallonne, and reigning world champion and defending Liège champion, Remco Evenepoel. But how did it pan out? Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie discuss the action. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

In the time it takes to climb the Mur de Huy half a dozen times, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie discuss the uphill cheese roll, aka Flèche Wallonne. Is it the most predictable race on the calendar, or is there some hidden nuance to the final climb? We discuss how the race panned out and other associated Ardennes trivia before attention turns to the big one, Liège-Bastogne-Liège, on Sunday.

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie review the action from the first of the Limburg-Ardennes troika of Classics–- the Amstel Gold Race. To aid them in an ever more desperate scramble for superlatives to describe Tadej Pogačar's spring, the boys are joined by AG2R Citroën stalwart Larry Warbasse – who'll be among those trying to prevent a Pog clean sweep at Flèche Wallonne and Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

This episode of Service Course was recorded on location at the Hell of the North. Join Lizzy Banks and Tom Whalley for two breathtaking races at Paris-Roubaix and a closer look at some of the bikes being ridden. The pair hear about the rival adjustable tyre pressure systems being used by Team DSM and Jumbo-Visma at the race, Scope Atmoz and Gravaa Kaps respectively, as well as speaking to the creator of Gravaa Kaps, Gertjan van Ginderen. Despite both DSM and Jumbo-Visma having men's and women's teams, disappointingly the systems were absent from the women's race, and Lizzy finds out exactly why that was. Alongside that there are some other, literal, Easter Eggs, notably the one on John Degenkolb's top tube, and seemingly an almost complete absence of suspension systems. Peter Sagan was using one, but he also had a gash in his tyre as Lizzy points out to his team before the start. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

As the dust settles on another cobbled Classics season - and some who made it to the Roubaix velodrome on Sunday are still wiping the grit and in one or two cases tears from their eyes -  Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie take a last look back at the Hell of the North in the company of former WorldTour pro and cobblestone connoisseur Mitch Docker. We hear Mitch's thoughts on another superlative performance by Mathieu van der Poel and also speak to a rider who was making his debut in the race on Sunday - INEOS Grenadiers' teen marvel Josh Tarling. After that, we take stock after another huge race that concluded last weekend - the Tour of the Basque Country - and look ahead to the second half of the Classics season, starting with Amstel Gold at the weekend.   The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

In this week's regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by long-time contributor François Thomazeau to reflect on Tadej Pogačar's Tour of Flanders victory at the weekend and look ahead to Paris-Roubaix.  Since Flanders, debate has raged about whether Pog will one day complete cycling's “Monument Slam”. We discuss how much prestige should in fact be associated with such an achievement - and also revisit a few minor controversies thrown up by Sunday's race.  After that, it's time to look forward to “The Hell of the North” and hear about a febrile backdrop of social unrest in France.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Would the home favourite Wout Van Aert finally add his name to the roll of honour of Vlaanderens Mooiste? What if Tadej Pogačar thwarted them both?

Lotte Kopecky and Demi Vollering gunned it out at Strade Bianche with the Dutchwoman eventually crowned the victor after a tense photo finish. Despite being pipped into second, the Italian classic marked yet another chapter in Kopecky's extraordinary early season in which she has never finished lower than runner-up.  Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks discuss the race and its fallout, including the controversial disqualification of Kristen Faulkner for the wearing of a continuous glucose monitor.  Rose also speaks to Puck Pieterse, one of the unlikely stars of Strade Bianche. Cyclo-cross racer Pieterse finished fifth in her first ever Women's World Tour road race. She explains her approach to having fun on the bike and why we won't be seeing her at any more road races this season. The team also talk about a less acrimonious team one-two finish at Trofeo Alfredo Binda. Last month's interviewee Shirin van Anrooij took the win there, followed by her Trek-Segafredo teammate Elisa Balsamo. Orla closes the show with a beautiful tribute to our deeply missed friend Richard Moore, who passed away a year ago. The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, after our on-the-whistle analysis in Arrivée at the weekend, we revisit Milan-Sanremo in the company of Larry Warbasse of AG2r-Citroën, who was in the thick of the action right up until the moment of Mathieu van der Poel's race-winning attack on the Poggio. Larry takes Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie inside the peloton, dissecting and demystifying the wiles and vagaries of the first Monument of the season. We also hear the latest news from the Remco-Roglič battle in Catalonia - and look ahead to a weekend that signals the true start of the cobbled Classics season.   The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

In this year's first episode of Arrivée, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe review the action from Milan-Sanremo aka La Classicissima. Would Tadej Pogačar continue where he left off at Paris-Nice last weekend? Could Van Aert and Van der Poel thwart him?

In this week's regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by former Team CSC and Team Sky press chief and Leopard-Trek manager Brian Nygaard to review the two big WorldTour stage races that concluded at the weekend and look ahead to the first Monument of the 2023 season - Milan-Sanremo.  After the usual weekly news round-up, we discuss the latest Pogcineration of Paris-Nice and the Roglication of Tirreno-Adriatico. What do these two results mean for the Grand Tour season and, in particular, Jonas Vingegaard's chances of retaining his Tour de France crown? In the final part of the episode, we also look ahead to Milan-Sanremo, by many estimates the most boring Monument of the season and by Daniel's the best.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

This episode of Explore was recorded in March 2022, when Lionel Birnie travelled to Berkshire to meet Phil Cavell. Lionel fitted squarely into the demographic Phil was writing for in his book The Midlife Cyclist and, as one of the people behind Cyclefit, has spent years trying to make riders more comfortable, more efficient and more powerful on the bike. As the years tick by and the likelihood of aches and pains on and off the bike rises, the middle aged cyclist has to pay more attention to their position, their pre- and post-ride regimes and their diet. But getting old does not mean slowing down. In fact, many riders in their 40s and 50s – and even older – are riding better than ever thanks to advances in our understanding of how to keep the body in good condition. Over a coffee Lionel and Phil chatted all things cycling.

Lionel Birnie is joined by EF Education-Tibco rider Lizzy Banks and Edward Pickering, the editor of Rouleur magazine, to help see through the dust thrown up by Strade Bianche. Saturday was a day when teamwork came under the microscope. In part one we examine the women's race which was dominated by two SD Worx riders who had everything worked out except the ending. Demi Vollering seemed as surprised as anyone that her teammate Lotte Kopecky sprinted against her. Then we turn attention to the men's race, won in exhilarating fashion by Ineos Grenadiers rider Tom Pidcock who attacked almost 50 kilometres from home, overhauled the riders ahead of him and struck out on his own. Although his lead was barely ever more than a minute, and at one stage was down to a handful of seconds, the lack of cohesion in the chase and notably between the two Jumbo-Visma riders undoubtedly played into Pidcock's hands. In the final part, Lionel checks in with François Thomazeau, for an update on the opening couple of days at Paris-Nice and weighs up the brewing showdown between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard.

In this week's regular episode, Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch of GCN and Eurosport commentary fame reflect on two thrilling days of racing at Opening Weekend in Belgium.  On Saturday, a dominant Jumbo-Visma performance culminated in victory in Omloop Het Nieuwsblad for a rider whose winning moves typically display all the stealth, cunning and deftness of a gemstone heist. This was followed on Sunday by another Jumbo masterclass and success for one of the team's less prolific yet most versatile stars.  As usual, there's also a full round-up of the week's news and we also look ahead to Strade Bianche next weekend.    The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

Comebacks, controversy and new rivalries, there's plenty for Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks to discuss in this month's episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin. We hear from Charlotte Kool who caused a major upset in taking two stage wins over former teammate and sprinting superstar Lorena Wiebes at the UAE Tour. She tells us what it is like taking on the mantle of leadership in one of the world's best sprinting teams and going head-to-head against a rider you used to lead out. Newly crowned U23 cyclo-cross world champion Shirin van Anrooij talks to Orla about life at Trek-Segafredo and about enjoying some time off the bike before the Ardennes Classics. Plus we discuss all the main headlines to come out of Setmana Valenciana and the UAE Tour, including the rejuvenation of Ashleigh Moolman and the polemic surrounding Elisa Longo-Borghini's win on Jebel Hafeet.

In this week's episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by the young and ambitious chief of the Uno-X men's and women's teams, Jens Haugland, to discuss their unlikely journey towards the pinnacle of the sport - the Tour de France.  In a wide-ranging interview, Haugland explains why professional football and the priesthood could have been his alternative career paths - and revisits his team's very humble beginnings.  Before all of that, we round up the week's main headlines and zero in on key talking points from the Ruta del Sol and Volta ao Algarve, ahead of Belgium's Opening Weekend.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

In this week's regular episode, Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are joined by former Team Sky and Katusha ace turned gravel-racing maestro Ian Boswell.  After our usual round-up of the week's news, it's time to reflect on Tadej Pogačar's 2023 racing début at the Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior - and his scintillating victory on the white roads of what has already established itself as Spain's answer to Strade Bianche.  The Pogcineration on the Andalusian farm tracks is also our cue to quiz Ian about what's in store for him and the gravel scene generally in 2023. Then, in the last part of the episode, we hear from EF Education First - Easypost's Esteban Chaves about his recent victory in the Colombian national road race championship and what made it so poignant.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

This week Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back and joined by one of the most illustrious and recognisable voices in Belgian cycling, Sporza's veteran commentator and reporter Renaat Schotte.  After the usual news round-up, we review the action from the cyclocross Worlds in Hoogerheide, where Fem Van Empel and Mathieu van der Poel went double Dutch by taking the women's and men's titles respectively.  Defeat for Wout van Aert meant disappointment for Belgium, although spirits there will have been buoyed by the latest evidence of Arnaud De Lie's prodigious talent at the Étoile de Bessèges. With Renaat's help, we find out more about a rider who is already being hailed as a Tom Boonen-Philippe Gilbert hybrid.  Neilson Powless took overall victory at Bessèges - and the American would be most people's choice as the rider of the early season. We hear from the EF Education-Easypost man about his early-season success, why he'll try his hand at the cobbled Classics and why his Native American ancestry is so important to him, especially when things are going well on the bike.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.  The 11.01 Cappuccino  Our regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

Explore is about cycling with a sense of adventure, journeying into the unknown and setting off for a challenge not knowing quite what lies ahead. This episode is no exception, although it features a slightly different type of journey. Lionel Birnie talks to American cyclo-cross rider Ben Frederick, who made the trip of a lifetime to Belgium over the Christmas and New Year period. It was his first visit to Europe and he was there to take part in the big festive cyclo-cross races where he rubbed shoulders with Mathieu van der Poel, Wout van Aert and Tom Pidcock. There's nothing especially amazing about that, you might think. After all, Frederick, who is 32, has talent. He was eighth in the US nationals in December and had earned his place on the start grid. But Frederick's sojourn to Flanders was the culmination of an extraordinary journey. A few years ago, an innocuous crash while training on the trails caused a serious concussion. He had to re-learn how to do simple tasks, such as making coffee, and how to read before he could even contemplate getting back on the bike. It was almost two years before he could race again. He set himself a goal – to experience something most cyclists can only dream of. To line up with the stars of modern cycling, the giants of the sport, amid the feverish party atmosphere of a Flandrian Christmas.

In this week's episode, Daniel Friebe is joined by Rob Hatch and Lionel Birnie, fresh back from his trip to the GP La Marseillaise for the start of the French season.  We round up a flurry of racing over recent days, including that curtain-raiser in Marseille, and exchange hot takes about what we've seen so far in Argentina, Saudi Arabia and Spain. We also reflect in greater detail on an emphatic start to the season by two teams, Intermarché Circus Wanty and Team DSM, with contrasting approaches to rider recruitment in particular.  In the final part of the episode, we ponder the news announced by Peter Sagan last week - that 2023 will be his final campaign in the sport's biggest races. What was Sagan's impact, what is his legacy and what chance is there of a Monumental swansong? The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

In this episode of Service Course, Tom Whalley speaks to Ian Boswell about the upcoming gravel season, the rule changes made by Unbound, and his plans for a very podcast-y Cape Epic ride partnering Mitch Docker. Boz also talks about his plans to transition from the pointy end of gravel races to the party end at the back. Beyond that, Tom and Lizzy Banks discuss the UCI rule changes for road bikes in 2023, Artificial Intelligence doing us all out of a job, and that Lab 71 bike that no one is confirming the existence of.

After their first appearance to look back on the 2022 season a few weeks ago, we reunite Joe Dombrowski of Astana-Qazaqstan and Larry Warbasse of AG2R Citroën and turn our gaze and thoughts forward to their respective 2023 campaigns.  We ponder their hopes, dreams and fears for the coming campaign, and reflect on a broader question: to what extent is the grunt work that goes into arriving at and staying in peak condition science, and to what extent is it art? At the heart of the discussion are some of the points raised by the trailblazing triathlon coach Olav Aleksander Bu in a recent appearance on the Rich Roll podcast, which you can access here. https://www.richroll.com/all-episodes/ As ever, we also review the week's main news stories, including the shock non-retirement of Nairo Quintana. Colombian journalist Juan Carlos Berajano joins us to talk about how that plot twist has been greeted back in his and Quintana's homeland.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

The Cycling Podcast Feminin kicks off 2023 with a look at the racing that is already in full swing in Australia. Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks discuss the first Women's World Tour race of the season – the Tour Down Under – which returns to the calendar for the first time since 2020. We also hear from brand new Australian National Champion Brodie Chapman about finally winning the race that kickstarted her cycling career. Back in 2018, Chapman had a full-time office job and was competing in her first ever UCI race when she made the final selection at the National Championships. Her sixth place finish saw her land a pro contract, a move to Europe and even victory in the Sun Tour of Annemiek Van Vleuten. Now she has joined one of the biggest teams in the world, Trek-Segafredo and is looking to both bolster their team of champions as well as pursue some of her own ambitions this year.  Fellow Trek-Segafredo recruit Amanda Spratt also had a stand out performance at the Tour Down Under. Her explosive climbing on stage three left The Cycling Podcast team speculating if she might not be taking a step down from race leadership after all.  Plus we have the latest news from the women's professional cycling scene including an update on the collapse of the B&B Hotels team and the agreement of a new title sponsor for the former Drops Cycling squad.  The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.

The 2023 men's WorldTour kicked off with the Tour Down Under, and that race features heavily in this week's regular episode, with our roving reporter on the ground in Adelaide, Mitch Docker, bringing us up to date with the latest action.  Mitch is joined by Daniel Friebe and multiple former Monument and Grand Tour stage winner Dan Martin to also discuss the rest of the week's news. That includes the announcement that one of the most beloved riders in the pro peloton, Thibaut Pinot, will retire at the end of the 2023 season.  The existential void into which some riders disappear when their career ends is our big discussion point in the second half of the podcast. It is also a poignant one in the week when the former Astana rider, Lieuwe Westra, passed away at the age of just 40, after years of mental turmoil. In the episode we'll hear about those from Westra's friend and biographer, Thomas Sijtsma.  The Cycling Podcast is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.
