Locking down a date and time to record podcasts with Dakotah Norton could be one of the most challenging endeavors Vital has taken on. He's a busy man, and we love him for it. The time crunch between the La Thuile and Andorra World Cups was tough on everyone, so we decided to wait until Dak returned to Tennessee to discuss how his first four World Cups went and what his plans are for the rest of the season. It'd been a few weeks since the crew caught up, so the first 40 minutes of this podcast cover plenty of non-racing topics, like the wall of responsibilities that hit Dak when he returns from Europe, how fun flying with bikes can be, and some insight into a rad bike packing trip Tanner just did up in Canada. We hope you enjoy the banter, and thanks so much for listening to these podcasts!0:00 - The B practice crew is haggard2:00 - The B practice crew hates the dentist 6:30 - Dak's struggles of life on the road9:24 - Airline baggage fee debacles 13:24 - Flying with bikes pro tips16:29 - Hobbies are too expensive now23:20 - Tanner's hut-to-hut bike packing trip in Canada28:12 - E-biking adventures30:54 - Dak's not going to Crankworx, stop asking31:45 - Dak's house prep before leaving for two months36:00 - The fear of not having a ride next year37:34 - Dak's self-evaluation of his first four World Cups back46:31 - Last corner issues in Andorra47:35 - The pace this year is so high50:59 - Andorra vs. La Thuile track comparison 57:41 - Loic's shift in focus at Andorra - gotta win1:00:00 - Jackson vs. Loic riding style1:05:04 - We got a V10 to add weights to 1:09:52 - New Mondraker DH Bike1:16:38 - Frida gets into back-to-back finals!1:19:41 - Tanner still hates Juniors1:23:48 - The struggle of getting UCI points at World Cups1:24:38 - Aaron Gwin's elbow injury1:27:52 - Reece + flats = finals1:28:53 - Schedule changes in Andorra1:36:00 - Gracey is hooking this year. 1:38:16 - Davide Palazzari - what could have been1:42:42 - Valentina Roa Sanchez first final of the year1:43:22 - Martin Maes is going crazy fast1:44:19 - First team overall victory for FMD (Orbea)1:46:41 - Juanfer on fire1:47:48 - Junior Women Overall Standings1:48:50 - Junior Men Overall Standings1:50:03 - Elite Women Overall Standings1:51:49 - Elite Men Overall Standings1:53:53 - Burgtec Labour of Love Awards1:55:43 - What's on the horizon race-wise?1:58:09 - Dak's new mechanic this year

Cervelo debuts new aero and climbing bikes at the Tour de France that couldn't be more different, yet also match in one very important way, and we've also spotted the Visma–Lease a Bike squad rolling on prototype Reserve wheels laced with carbon fiber spokes. Tadej and the rest of the UAE team won't feel left out, though, as they're using the just-released ENVE SES 4.5 Pro wheels. But what about that kinda-hook bead rim? Alvin Holbrook and Mike Levy delve into the details as they discuss tire retention and UCI-mandated width regulations that likely played a role in the new rim design. They also agree to disagree on Mathieu van der Poel's newest sponsor signing with a private jet company that has many fans up in arms, and Levy talks about his first bikepack race adventure at the BC Epic 1000 that included all the heat, not enough calories, and plenty of time spent laying on the ground.

No exorbitant fee, no toilet paper advert every 510min, and access to hundreds of listeners who share great advice, insight, training strategies and opinion. Join now!The showThis week on The Real Science of Sport Spotlight world records fall and big questions rise. Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet lit up the track in Eugene—how fast can they go, and what happens if (or hopefully when) they clash over 5000m, 3000m, or possibly even 1500m? Their record-breaking performances headlined a meeting that showed track and field can be exciting, modern, and appealing to younger fans. Is the sport in better shape than critics thought? From spikes to strings, we then turn to Wimbledon, where Electronic Line Calling has come under fire. Is the system flawed, or just misunderstood? We break down the tech, the myths, and why perfection was never the point.In our Center Stage (27:44), we focus on the Tour de France, where concussions, broken bones, and questions of responsibility have again reared their head. Do race organizers or riders bear the blame? We explore the UCI's priorities, enforcement of their own rules, and creation of new rules with marginal benefits. We also discuss the race. Jonas Vingegaard says he's heavier, more muscular, and more powerful than ever. Will that close the gap to Pogacar? The early signs, after the Stage 5 TT, suggest an emphatic "no"? Is he solving the 'wrong' problem, and how will that increased mass play out against a relentless Pogacar in the mountains?We also Spotlight listener insights in Ross Replies (52:00), with a focus on David Roche's Western States DNF and his pre-race transparency. You wondered whether he created mental and emotional pressure on himself by being so open, and we discuss. In Listener Lens (58:25), we celebrate some Discourse success stories.

a un delito de abandono de familia. ¿Qué más sabemos, Marta López? Según ha podido saber COPE, ambos tienen antecedentes por agredirse mutuamente, aunque no consta ningún episodio contra el menor. La policía científica está trabajando en la vivienda. Homicidios se ha hecho cargo de la investigación. Hay que saber, para empezar, cuánto tiempo llevaba el niño solo en casa. El menor está ingresado en la UCI en estado grave. Los bomberos lo encontraron en parada cardiorrespiratoria, lo han reanimado en una ambulancia y de allí lo han llevado al hospital. Todo apunta a que la causa ha sido una ...
En el año 2020, en plena pandemia de COVID-19, una enfermera italiana llamada Arianna escribió una carta abierta desde una UCI saturada en Milán. En ella narraba su agotamiento, sus miedos y su fe. Publicada en un diario local, fue traducida a más de diez idiomas y replicada en medios de todo el mundo. Terminaba diciendo: “No sé cómo terminará esta historia, pero sé que no estoy sola. Dios está conmigo”. No necesitas un púlpito para predicar. A veces, tu testimonio vivido con autenticidad y fe puede impactar más que mil sermones. En medio del caos, Arianna eligió confiar. Su carta se convirtió en refugio y consuelo para miles que también estaban luchando. El apóstol Pablo dijo que los creyentes somos “cartas abiertas”. Lo que escribimos con nuestras decisiones, actitudes y palabras es leído por quienes nos rodean. ¿Qué está leyendo el mundo a través de ti? ¿Qué carta estás escribiendo con tu fe? La Biblia dice en 2 Corintios 3:2: “Nuestras cartas sois vosotros… escritas en nuestros corazones, conocidas y leídas por todos los hombres” (RV1960).

Lenin Díaz: Sobreviviente al Colapso del Jet SetLa familia Díaz Patricio quedó marcada para siempre la madrugada del 8 de abril, con lesiones que a casi tres meses de la tragedia en la discoteca Jet Set son perceptibles de forma física y otras internas imposibles de borrar.Todo inició como una noche bailable con su artista favorito en el centro de diversión para Lenin Díaz Patricio. Ella acudió a la fiesta con su hermana Manny Arisleydi Díaz Patricio y su cuñado Agustín René Méndez Suberví, a quienes llama sus hermanos y llora su recuerdo al ver las fotografías que adornan su sala.Manny y Agustín eran un matrimonio de 25 años, a quienes la familia nunca vio discutir. Sus tres hijos de 24, 20 y 17 años de edad quedaron en la orfandad con el desplome del techo de la emblemática discoteca.Lenin aún lleva consigo las secuelas de esa fatídica noche, movilizándose únicamente por una silla de ruedas, ya que aún no puede caminar. No oye correctamente de su oído derecho, fue sometido a dos operaciones craneales, tiene cinco costillas rotas, sufrió lesiones en la espalda, pierna derecha y tiene una parálisis maxilofacial en el lado izquierdo de la cara que también se refleja en su brazo izquierdo.Con el impacto de la tragedia, su madre fue diagnosticada con el síndrome del corazón roto y sometida a un cateterismo; su padre duró dos meses en una unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) con pronóstico de vida reservado y a la fecha recibe terapia para retomar la movilidad de su cuerpo. Su progenitor debe ser auxiliado por sus familiares para suplir cualquier necesidad.Todo esto genera en Lenin un nudo en la garganta y ojos enrojecidos por el llanto, al recordar cómo terminó bajo los escombros y perdió a “su confidente” y su cuñado, en una noche que suponía sería maravillosa.“Cuando fuimos a comprar la boleta, que yo fui con mi hermano Agustín René Méndez, nosotros fuimos al Jet Set, donde estaba el señor Gregory Adames despachando las boletas. Cuando yo llegué, yo compré cuatro boletas: mis hermanos, que son tres con mi hermano Agustín, íbamos a pasar una noche maravillosa entre familia”, inició el relato.
Florian Vermeersch is a Belgian cyclist with some very impressive palmares to his name. 2nd place in Paris-Roubaix as a 22 year old, a pair of silver medals at the UCI gravel world championships, a handful of wins, a whole bunch of podiums, not to mention he's often the right hand man to Tadej Pogacar in plenty of races on the UAE Emirates squad. This was a really fun conversation to learn more behind the scenes with Florian on his ride through the World Tour ranks.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP It's July, which means we're just days away from the Tour de France. I don't know about you, but I am absolutely frothing for this year's race to kick off. My heart is racing just thinking about it…and that's exactly what this month's episode is all about; my heart. Guys, this month's episode of Life In The Peloton is one for all you training geeks out there. It's time for me to take another look ‘under the hood' and get my ticker checked out, so I headed back to the lab for a catch up with my old mate Dr. Andre Le Gerche. If you don't recognise that name, Andre is one of the world's leading experts in Sports Cardiology, whose research and clinical work focuses on the effect of exercise on the human heart. Since the start of my professional cycling career all those years ago, I've been seeing Andre every few years to take part in a study he's conducting on elite athletes' hearts, heart function, and heart health. I last recorded with Andre back in 2022, so if you haven't heard that ep get across and bring yourself up to speed on the study, and what my last round of testing showed just after I retired from Pro Cycling. If you don't know, the UCI makes sure that every pro rider undergoes a series of heart tests on their heart every off season ‘with an aim to reduce - as far as possible - the risk of sudden cardiac death during sporting activity' - scary stuff, right? Andre's study goes one further, looking to understand the longer term effects of a life of endurance sport. I won't lie, guys, this is a big topic - and I won't pretend I'm an expert on Sports Cardiology! But, what I really love about working with Andre and his team is the way they explain the results of their findings to nuffies like me. I hope you like this episode, guys - hopefully, you get a better idea of what goes on under the hood of these elite athletes you're about to watch rip around France for the next month. My next round of testing with Andre isn't until 2030, now, so I'll see you in 5 years, Andre! Cheers! Mitch ----more---- If you didn't catch it, Andre and I first sat down about a couple of years ago to chat all things athlete's heart — what years of racing does to it, how it recovers (or doesn't) after retirement, and why some ex-pros might need to “de-train” their hearts. That ep lays the groundwork for this follow-up, so if you're keen to hear how it all started, you can check it out here.

Whether it's race passes, streaming services, or random apps you forgot you signed up for, Saily tracks it all in one place and even helps you cancel the ones you're not using.

Podcast Episode 149: Funding the Commons: A Deep Dive into ReFi, DAOs, and the Future of Regenerative Economics Description: What if our financial systems were designed to heal the planet instead of extracting from it? This isn't a far-off dream; it's the emergent reality of Regenerative Finance (ReFi) and Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs). In this roundtable discussion, host Joshua Prieto and co-host Noam Rifkind are joined by Stefan Fiedler-Alvarado, a leader in the ReFi space and the Director for the Certificate of Regenerative Entrepreneurship at UCI. Together, they dive deep into the mechanics and philosophy of this new financial frontier. The conversation unpacks how ReFi is moving beyond the broken models of venture capital and philanthropy, using blockchain technology to create transparent, democratic, and direct funding flows to the frontline communities doing the essential work of regeneration. This is a must-listen for anyone who believes we need to fundamentally rewire our economy to support a thriving, life-affirming future. [View the full show notes and description on the Seeds of Tao Website] Show Notes: (7:13) Stefan Fiedler-Alvarado introduces the core idea that modern regenerative practices are a rediscovery of ancient, indigenous wisdom and a deep connection to place. (15:10) A critical look at the flaws of traditional funding: how venture capital's "unicorn" model is wasteful and why philanthropic aid can create dependency and neocolonial dynamics. (17:30) The Promise of Web3: How blockchain technology and DAOs can disintermediate finance, removing costly middlemen and empowering direct, peer-to-peer capital flows. (23:28) Who governs the new system? A discussion on where ReFi protocols come from, blending top-down standards with bottom-up, hyperlocal community validation. (33:32) A crucial clarification: Who is ReFi for right now? Stefan makes the case that these funds are for frontline, marginalized communities and common-good projects, not for conventional for-profit businesses. (38:40) How it Works: A real-world example of using Gitcoin and Quadratic Funding, a mechanism that algorithmically rewards projects with the most community support. (51:30) The Future of Finance: The panel explores what the next 10-20 years could look like, from blended financial models to bioregional funding facilities and the rise of "DMRV (Decentralized Measurement, Reporting, and Verification) as a service." (1:01:10) Noam's "Beaver" Analogy: How the ReFi movement acts like beavers in an ecosystem, carefully channeling capital to create widespread vitality and avoid the mission capture seen in traditional philanthropy. (1:10:00) From Scarcity to Abundance: Joshua challenges the scarcity mindset that still exists even in the ReFi space and poses the vision of truly funding "the commons." (1:15:00) A Call to Action for Listeners: The episode concludes with powerful questions about building organizational capacity, crafting culturally-resonant narratives (like using Dragon Ball Z!), and the role every stakeholder has in building this new economy.

He explained that the most successful projects connect with people on a deep, story-based level. Your regenerative vision is powerful, but if you can't articulate it in a way that captivates your audience—be it customers, investors, or community members—your impact will be limited. That's why we created the StorySeed Marketing & Messaging Course. This course is designed specifically for regenerative entrepreneurs like you. We guide you step-by-step to unearth your core message, define your unique brand story, and craft a narrative that inspires action.

Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss for the final instalment of their pre-Tour de France 'attitude camp'. In this episode they recap the final major preparation race, the Tour de Suisse where UAE Team Emirates – who else? – took the overall honours. But while João Almeida's overall victory had a feeling of inevitability about it as soon as he reached the midway checkpoint in the final time trial, the week was perhaps more revealing about the two riders who joined him on the podium. We hear from third-placed Oscar Onley, who won a stage and put together the best stage race performance of his career as he prepares to head to the Tour for Picnic Post NL. And we discuss Kevin Vauquelin's credentials as a potential star for the home nation at the Tour. He won a stage during the opening weekend in Italy last week and he very nearly delivered a huge result for an Arkea-B&B Hotels team that has been struggling in the World Tour this season. There's a recap of the other races, including two events on the calendar in Copenhagen and Andorra, a brush with the UCI rules and analysis of Tadej Pogačar's foray into the world of children's books with his partner Urška Žigart. Next up – our XL Tour de France Preview episode will be out in the middle of next week.

Foi com emoção, sim! Mas foi também com grande superioridade que o português João Almeida (UAE) venceu o Tour da Suíça. Três vitórias de etapa e mais uma importante volta na conta do gajo. Agora é ajudar Pogacar no Tour e - quem sabe - brigar por um pódio. Afinal, João Almeida está entre os melhores voltistas da atualidade. Papo para o RADIO dessa semana que traz também a UAE brilhando no Baloise Belgium Tour, Merlier e Wiebes voado, Giro Next Gen, MTB, UCI sendo UCI e muito mais.Neste domingo com um convidado especial: Pedro Barbosa, já colocando a Gregario no clima do L'Étape Rio 2025.

TRP's new Vistar drivetrain combines a 12-speed cassette with a Classified internally geared hub to give you the benefits of a front derailleur without the hassle and complication, but does it work in the real world? Senior Tech Editor Josh Ross has spent months using it and explains the benefits, drawbacks, and how the hybrid 1X system compares to a traditional drivetrain. Josh has also been riding the new SRAM Force and Rival drivetrains that aim to bring the performance of Red down to a lower price point; he describes the differences between each group and tells Levy why Force is the answer. Cervelo also just released their Aspero-5 gravel race bike that trades tire clearance and comfort for pure aero-focused speed, which is the opposite approach that we're seeing with most new designs. Alvin has been testing the fresh Aspero and explains why this new "gravel bike" might be the ideal all-road machine for many riders. Lastly, the crew debates the UCI's strange new tech mandates that limit handlebar width, fork leg geometry, rim height, and aero helmets, all of which are intended to slow racers down and increase safety. But are yet more rules really the answer, and how do the UCI's decisions affect what consumers can purchase?

Caroline Livesey is an adventurer, extreme triathlete, ultracyclist, elite gravel cyclist and triathlon and life coach. Caroline started her journey into triathlon while serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army. After 10 years service she left as a Major in 2013 and pursued a career as a professional triathlete (while working full time as a geotechnical design consultant), originally in Ironman events. In 2019 circumstances conspired to throw her into her first extreme triathlon, Canadaman XTRI. Winning this event was the catalyst for her to work on her mindset and physical adaptations to take on the gruelling climate conditions which are typical for the Extreme Triathlons such as Norseman and Celtman. She has since won numerous extreme events, and has just returned from winning Patagonman in Chile for the second time. Caroline is also an elite gravel cyclist, competing for Team GB at the last two World Championships (where she thinks she was the oldest on the start line by some 20 years). She loves single day UCI gravel races but also ultra distance, and has competed at Badlands (3rd), finished Transcordilleras (Colombia), and completed coast-to-coast across Costa Rica in less than two days. She completed the 1000km Transcordilleras, an 8-day stage race, in February this year. Caroline's husband Mark is a documentary / film maker and they make films about their adventures (YouTube, Amazon Prime - The Brick Session). Their purpose is to provide information and inspiration to others so that they might break down their own false beliefs to take on their own challenges. Caroline and Mark have founded Peak Education Nepal - a charity bringing education to the children of poor families in Nepal who cannot afford to go to school. They became involved in this while in Nepal for an event in 2022, and plan to go back this year to develop the charity and do another mountain trail running adventure.

The UCI has announced sweeping controversial changes to its technical regulation, including new limits on handlebar width, helmets and tyre size. Due to take effect from 2026, officials say the rules are designed to level the playing field and ensure “sporting fairness”, but the response from riders and industry figures has been mixed. In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, digital editor Jack Luke and senior tech writer Simon Von Bromley explain the key details of the changes, and how the experts and racers have reacted to the changes. https://www.bikeradar.com/news/uci-tech-rules-2026 https://www.bikeradar.com/features/tech/uci-handlebar-width-rules-2026 https://www.bikeradar.com/features/tech/uci-handlebar-width-womens-impact https://www.bikeradar.com/news/uci-rejects-one-cycling Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Discourse for moreDiscourse is the best Sports Science community on the internet, and yes we are biased. But if you want to see for yourself, membership is a monthly pledge away, and then you too can gain access to opinion, insight and analysis from The Real Science of Sport army!Show notesThis week in Spotlight, we kick of with a Discourse Digest exploring the UCI's equipment rules — most notably, 40cm minimum handlebar width. It may seem like a technical tweak, but the implications are significant: many female cyclists will now have to widen their bars to comply, sparking criticism that the rule is not only arbitrary but discriminates against women. We dig into what it says about decision-making at the UCI, and how governance in the sport appears to be crying out for systematic, deliberate and openly communicated processes.In Listener Lens (11:56), we tackle a great Discourse question from Liam, a coach working with a 13-year-old female runner whose progress has stalled. We explore why this happens to young athletes, especially girls, and how the short-term incentives we create in youth sports cause challenges for the most well-intentioned coaches and parents. It's a conversation about patience, perspective, and reframing our expectations to accept that sporting development is very rarely linear.Then, in a new Ross Replies segment (29:20), a question from Nicol on how the body switches from fat to carbs during exercise opens the door to a deep dive into metabolic regulation. We break down what controls fuel selection during exercise, and why a new paradigm has emerged: instead of trying to promote fat oxidation to spare carbohydrates, elite athletes are now trying to minimize it. Why? To enhance performance by maximizing oxidation efficiency with carbs.In Center Stage 51:57), we discuss some of the tech details that have emerged in support of Faith Kipyegon's sub-4:00 mile attempt, and wonder what the quiet collapse of the Grand Slam Track series means for the sport? And finally (64:54) Gareth notes that Mondo Duplantis' pole vault dominance shows no signs of abating, leading us to wonder why some dominance is lauded, while others are doubted, and to reflect on huge sporting mismatches.LinksArticle on the UCI's handlebar decisionPaper from Norway comparing how boys and girls improve in athletic events during the teenage yearsThe article that shows how rare it is to be top 100 ranked at 18, 20 and as an adult, and that most successful adults aren't at the same level as juniorsArticle covering fundamentals of adolescent development and its implications for sportHow the body shifts from fat to carbs (Discourse member access only)Sean Ingle described some of the tech Nike is putting into the sub-4 mile attempt Hosted on Acast.

Well, some of the knee-jerk predictions made last Friday didn't last very long, did they? Tadej Pogačar showed everyone who's boss at the Dauphine, and we wait with baited breath to see if he somehow messed something up going into the Tour de France. Caley's back from a successful foray into lobstering and is joined by Jonny and Kit to break down the weekend's racing. Then the three turn their attention to the other big story from the weekend, an incoming ban on a number of go-faster gear, including narrow handlebars. Has the UCI even lost Caley on this one, a man who thoroughly hates the narrow bar trend? Seems so.

The duo also goes through a few key takeaways from performances earlier in the race, including the shocking Stage 1 GC sprint-off, the Stage 4 time trial showdown, and predict what will happen in the brutal remaining stages over the weekend.

However, on Thursday the UCI confirmed the calendars for the men's and women's World Tours for the next three-year cycle and there was no place on it for the One Cycling project, effectively kicking it into the long grass if not killing it completely. Much of the second half of the episode was about where the sport goes from here, including Jonathan's hope that the One Cycling project might finally give some coherence to the professional sport's structure. Jonathan asked if we could make this conversation available more widely and so, for a limited time, it will be on our free feed, with our thanks to our Friends of the Podcast subscribers who help to fund our coverage. Jonathan Vaughters is the general manager of the EF Education-Easy Post team and in this conversation with Lionel Birnie, he begins by talking about the conclusion to the Giro d'Italia. Richard Carparaz finished third overall after that thrilling stage over the Colle delle Finestre but Jonathan explains the tactics were designed with only victory in mind. From there, it's a freewheeling discussion about the state of pro cycling in 2025. Is Tadej Pogačar's dominance good for the sport, the One Cycling project, the Netflix effect, even the possibility of AI's influence on racing.

The second round of the 2025 World Cup from Loudenvielle, France, produced some of the fastest racing we've seen in recent memory and was (somehow) filled with more funny drama than the first round in Poland. But it turns out a dry, straight track makes for iconic Hail Mary race runs, and the UCI/Warner Bros/Discovery not knowing how to enforce their own rules makes for good podcasting banter. We had fun this week chatting about the ongoing #polegate disputes, Dak's panic after watching racing from the sideline and rushed last-minute prep before Leogang, the Henry Keifer situation, the Stan Nisbet situation, Ronan showing why we ride with tires on our rims, track safety and the need for more turns, and most importantly, the tightness of riding pants. We have been treated to some iconic racing thus far this season, and Leogang this weekend will surely be exciting. Now let's just hope our co-host-extrodinare can make it past Q2! 0:13 - The Dak Update3:10 - Dak's panic from watching people ride in Loudenvielle6:05 - UCI trying to copy our post-race show9:05 - More insight into Dak's prep before Leogang14:13 - Has the field gotten faster this year?16:30 - #polegate again17:50 - Henry Keifer's start hut pit stop19:39 - Stan Nisbet stopped from racing24:15 - Ronan doesn't need tires.

Are the UCI about to ban narrow handlebars, Jesse might have a fee regrets about his new position. Some bike brands might be moving home in 2026 and we have 4 Dogs or Fast Bikes.

He's already racking up wins taking two UCI wins, the prestigious Traka 200 title, and now he's here on North American soil to try his hand at Unbound. Mads and I met up two days shy of the boiling hot Gravel Locos for this face to face conversation. Covering his time in rainbow stripes, his World Tour career, struggles with physical and mental setbacks, how therapy helped him rebound to the incredibly positive (and productive) place he is now.
