On this week's episode of The VeloNews Podcast, Fred and Andy discuss the recent news that AEG has cancelled the 2020 Amgen Tour of California. Why is the race cancelled? The guys take a deep dive into the business of North American bike racing, and explain why the revenue model has always been challenging for big races like the Tour of California. The guys also discuss what the race meant for North American riders, and what its absence means for the WorldTour riders. Then, we hear from Tejay van Garderen, who won the 2013 edition of the race. Van Garderen discusses his own history at the Tour of California, and how it shaped him into the race he is today. All that and more on today's episode of The VeloNews Podcast.

Last week AEG Sports, organizers of the AMGEN Tour of California announced a one year hiatus after 14 successful editions. For Danny and Matt, who look forward to their yearly lycra-spotting trip to NorCal this is a huge disappointment. What does this mean for bicycle racing in the US and how it will impact the next generation of riders? This weekend hosted two of the most excited cross races of the season, DVV's Koppenbergcross and Superprestige Dumbledore. Iserbyt and Pidcock battled it out over the multiple climbs up the cobbles and rutted descents, and MVDP asserted his dominance as the worlds number 1 cyclist in all disciplines by taking victory in his first race back. In the women's 777 team took the podium on Friday and Alverado lead from the start with dominance, with strong performances from Cant, Compton, and Keough.

PYSO episode 6: 2019 Tour of California, Stage Six by VeloNews

In its thirteenth, and arguably hardest edition, the 2019 Tour of California, was conquered by Slovenian climber Tadej Pogačar of UAE, ahead of Neo pro Sergio Higuita, in his first race with US Based EF Education First, and Flanders Runner Up Danish Kasper Asgreen of Deceuninck–Quick-Step. The race was won on the Queen Stage to Mt Baldy, where the diminutive climbers dropped the field in a slo-mo battle up the steep climbs. Dutch Superstar Anna Van Der Breggen took the win on the first stage and the overall, matching the pace of team-mate and overall runner up Katie Hall on the stage to Mt Baldy. South African Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio came third after a strong performance. Matt and Danny discuss their week and get started talking about diet, protein, and easy healthy. Finally, with another Slovenian Primož Roglič in a commanding lead in the GC competition, things are starting to look pretty certain. The sprinting competition is wide open with wins by Ackermann, Gaviria, Demare, and Ewan. Only Elia Viviani, the Italian champion, is lacking a win. He has one more chance in tomorrow's sprint stage.

Laura Winter and Abby are finally reunited for this rundown of Stage 1 at the Amgen Tour of California!  voxwomen.com/podcast rawvelo.com

Coach Bobby Julich does a deep dive into all things aero and wind related including but not limited to whether or not riding with your forearms on the tops and your hands dangling off the front in a mock TT position is good idea, Superfan's true identity is almost accidentally outed, Gus talks about playing Grand Theft Auto vs actually racing on the Speedway along with some very poignant thoughts on which side of the bike front and rear brakes should be mounted, and of course the team gets into yesterday’s crash and subsequent questionable "Van Garderen" ruling.

Coach Bobby Julich and Gus morton discuss what happened in the race and the Art & Science of Descending from the supertuck to the #pantanidangle. Superfan weighs in with a question about style as it relates to the topic of going downhill fast. Producer MFS shares his thoughts about slog vs slouge. Interviews with Alex Howes and Peter Stetina.

This is our last recap podcast from the Amgen Tour of California.

Stage 2 of the Tour of California: Rancho Cordova to South Lake Tahoe. "It’s one of the few stages that I’m actually scared of in cycling. It’s not very often that you go from sea level to 2,500-2,800 metres without ever having a break in the pedals. It’s virtually uphill for 110km, and for those power geeks out there you’re average power is exactly the same with or without zero, because you are always on the pedals.” - Nathan Haas. On course shaped like a ramp into the sky, today's show is all about power.

This week we talk all about burnout, the signs of burnout and how to manage burnout. It's something we all experience and feel like we can get through but when it happens something needs to change. We also talk highlights of the Giro D'Italia and the Tour of California. All that and more on this episode of Bike Race Weekly.

Ep 1: This is a test of the US Podcast Service This morning we got the guys together for a practice session of the US Podcast Service. The plan was for a test recording, sort of like not posting a training ride on Strava, to iron out technical difficulties, shake off rust and get in the flow. The kind of thing that doesn't get published because Floyd butchers the name of a WorldTour team racing the Tour of California, dropped a few f-bombs, and strayed to topics like Dave's dream of a mattress sponsorship. And that's exactly why we're sharing it. Because perfect is the enemy of the good, and more importantly, your entertainment. Hope you enjoy this test and tune in for next episode.

Simon Yates hat das Wochenende beim Giro d'Italia genutzt, um sich vor dem heutigen Zeitfahren im Gesamtklassement einen noch etwas größeren Vorsprung herauszufahren. Aber reicht das, um Titelverteidiger Tom Dumoulin in Schach zu halten? Oder schafft der es, Yates das Rosa Triko, das er seit der 6. Etappe trägt, noch abzujagen?

We further discuss the bike packing gear, from Revelate, that both Wes and Rocco are planning on running for Dirty Kanza. Rocco makes Wes very jealous with his new bike shoes.

Auf der 11. Etappe des Giro d'Italia hat Simon Yates seine Führung ausgebraut - und das mit einem beeindruckenden Antritt am steilsten Punkt der Etappe. Einzig Titelverteidiger Tom Dumoulin konnte noch halbwegs mit ihm Schritt halten, verlor zwar etwas Zeit im Rennen um das Rosa Trikot, aber hielt den Rückstand akzeptabel. Denn seine Stunde kommt ja noch beim Zeitfahren. Und wenn er da einen nicht zu großen Rückstand auf Yates mit hineinnimmt, kann noch einiges passieren, ist sich unser Experte Lukas Kruse sicher. Er blickt mit Malte Asmus auf den Giro, aber auch die Tour of California. Dort sicherte sich Tejay van Garderen im Einzelzeitfahren die 4. Etappe. Nach fünfjähriger Pause ist er wieder zurück bei seinem Heimrennen - etwas ganz besonderes für ihn, wie er im O-Ton berichtet. Auch der Blick auf das Gesamtklassement darf natürlich nicht fehlen. Ebenso wenig wie der Blick auf die Tour of Norway, die mit dem Sieg von Dylan Groenewegen in ihre neueste Auflage startete. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?

Wouter Wippert on Stage4 of the Amgen Tour of California.

Beginners. There are some special times in our lives when we come into contact with greatness, with people who have done great things. My husband experienced one of those special moments about a week ago. He had flown down to California with a couple of friends to watch the Tour of California. He was fortunate enough to have a friendly, business connection with Rabobank which is a major cycling sponsor. Because of this connection, he and his friends were able to travel in a Rabobank car close to the professional riders. They were able to get close to these famous athletes before and after the rides. One other thing that they did, was to ride some of the same routes as the professionals, but several miles behind them. This gave my husband and his buddies firsthand experience of the difficulty of this competitive sport. I think the trip will become an annual event, something to look forward to and to plan for during the year. I might go with him next year, even though I am not a cyclist. The tour obviously takes place along some beautiful countryside, so it would be worth going at least once. Grammar notes. Useful expressions: to come into contact (with), a business connection, before and after, firsthand experience, annual event, even though, at least. Related vocabulary: sponsor, tour, connection, route, professional, event. Verbs: To come into contact.Ex: The diver came into contact with the strangest kind of squid that he had ever seen. To be able. Ex: I will not be able to come to the party. She had not been able to find her passport in time for the flight. *Subjunctive: It would be worth going, even if it rained. ( you can swap the clauses). Even if it rained, it would be worth going. Advanced.  What does it mean to be a fan, to be an enthusiastic follower of a personality or activity? Have you ever experienced the thrill of hero worship? It's quite common. My sons are fans of certain sports personalities and actors, and my daughter is a fan of Hello Kitty. My fifth child, my husband, also has certain idols, but he hides his enthusiasm better than the children. On his recent visit to the Tour of California he was lucky enough to see some of the big names in cycling like Lance Armstrong, Levi Leipheimer, and David Zabriskie. It was, of course, a complete thrill for him and his group of friends who accompanied him. I'm sure that being a fan shows a desire to have achieved that which we are admiring. The funny thing is, last year when he went to the Tour, they did actually experience being worshipped by fans. Let me explain. They had spent a large part of the day cycling behind the peloton,-a long way behind. Nevertheless, they crossed the finish line where fans were still applauding, yelling, and waving flags. Little did the fans know that these very late athletes were nothing to do with the race. So, my husband and his buddies were celebrated as professionals who had just completed the Tour of California. Cameras were flashing and devotional pats on the back were given. It was like an accidental dream come true. Hey, if you can't be a professional cyclist, you can always trick a few fans into believing that you are..... Grammar notes. Related vocabulary: fan, personality, hero, thrill, worship, idol, recent, the finish line, buddy, devotion. Verbs: To hide (hide, hid, hidden); to accompany (reg); to admire (reg); to applaud (reg.).
