Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP You can also watch this episode over on my YouTube channel here!   Guys, the Giro is rolling along, and what a race it's shaping up to be. Ahead of the final week of racing, it's still all to play for. We've got the mega-talented young Isaac Del Toro holding onto the Maglia Rosa, bookies' favourite Primoz Roglič dropping out of contention, and a handful of riders poised to go all out to try and unseat UAE's dominance before the finish in Rome. Tom Southam's been called up to bat for EF Education Easypost, so he's cruising around Italy in the team car, and he's already netted a pair of stage wins with Richard Carapaz and Kasper Asgreen! With Southam away, we've had a bit of a roster change for this month's Race Communique; we're joined by my old mate and fellow ex-professional, Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe sports director, the Flying Mullet himself - that's right, it's Shane Archbold. Shane'o joins me and Luke Durbridge - fresh off the back of the Tour of Hungary - to dissect the racing so far at the Giro and speculate what we might see in this last week of racing.  The Giro is known for being a pretty chaotic race, and the 2025 edition is no different. So far, we've seen some amazing stages, and the GC storyline has been incredible, too. From guys like Luke Plapp - the Plappinator - finally getting his hands in the air in Europe, Wout van Aert completing a monster comeback on the Strade Bianche gravel stage in dominant fashion, and unsung hero Daan Hoole taking some massive scalps in the stage 10 time trial. UAE are gripping the pink jersey pretty tightly, but guys like Simon Yates, Richard Carapaz, and our old mate Derek Gee are creeping up behind him, not to mention his own teammate Juan Ayuso waiting in the wings. Sadly for Shane, his Red Bull Bora Hansgrohe team are having some pretty rotten luck. First, they lost Jai Hindley - a former Giro winner - in the first week to a crash on the wet, slippery roads of Naples. Then, Dani Martinez, last year's runner-up, slipped out of the GC and hasn't looked like his former self so far. Of course, they went into the race with the defending champion Primoz Roglič, whose GC bid looks to be over after a brutal day of racing over the Monte Grappa. It's not all doom and gloom for Bora, though; young Italian super domestique Giulio Pellizzari has shown a hell of a lot of promise so far, and no doubt has a bright career ahead of him. In this week's PeloChat, Durbo shines the spotlight on XDS Astana and their ongoing hunt for UCI points to avoid being relegated at the end of the season. A change in tactics from the Kazakh team means they're no longer racing for the win, which sounds absolutely crazy for a pro cycling team. Instead, they're trying to stack the top 10 with riders to scrape together as many UCI points as they can. They've managed to claw themselves back up the team rankings and away from the relegation zone, putting other teams at risk and giving us fans a whole other narrative to follow this season. Finally, we have a Giro-themed CommuniQuiz. I'm Quiz Master this week, and I'll be testing Shane and Durbo's knowledge on all things Giro d'Italia. Which former ‘Junior World Champion' used to sell cleaning products, didn't turn pro until 26, and then went and won the Giro?! You'll have to listen to find out!  Enjoy this month's Communique, everybody. We'll be back at the same time next month, just a week or so out from the start of the biggest bike race of the year: the Sibiu Cycling Tour over in Romania…only kidding; of course it's the Tour de France!    Cheers, Mitch   The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

Après seulement 3 jours de course le Giro faisait relâche ce lundi histoire de permettre au peloton et aux suiveurs de regagner la péninsule italienne après son petit séjour albanais. 3 jours de course et un maillot rose installé sur les épaules de Mads Pedersen l'un des coureurs phares de ce début de saison qui après une campagne de classiques réussie, a décidé de poursuivre sur sa lancée dans ce premier Grand Tour 2025. Et les Français dans tout ça me direz-vous ? Eh bien nos coureurs ont débuté ce Tour d'Italie de manière pour le moins discrète. Une 16e place pour Bardet, premier français lors de la 1e étape, de moyenne montagne. Une 29e le lendemain lors du chrono pour Godon et enfin une 39e dimanche pour Nicolas Prodhomme coureur de Decathlon AG2r. Bref nos français sont pour l'instant abonné aux etcetera, alors peut-on espérer durant le reste de la course que l'un de nos 13 représentants décroche un bouquet ou va-t-il falloir se contenter de toutes petites miettes comme cela est le cas depuis le début de la saison. Avec seulement 3 victoires tricolore décrochées en world Tour en 2025, nous sommes loin du compte et cela se vérifie au classement UCI où pour la première fois depuis des lustres, aucun coureur français ne figure dans le top 40. Alors faut-il s'inquiéter de cette absence de résultats ? Comment l'expliquer et peut-on espérer une éclaircie durant la saison des Grands Tours qui a débuté avec ce Giro ? Production : Roxanne LacuskaRéalisation : Kevin Paugam

She discusses the complexities of diagnosing and treating long COVID, particularly focusing on the role of cranio-cervical instability (CCI) and its impact on patients' health. Dr. Brown emphasizes the importance of understanding the symptoms, the challenges in accessing proper care, and the need for collaboration among healthcare providers to improve patient outcomes. She also offers insights into treatment options and encourages both patients and doctors to take ownership of their health and care.BioDr Katie Brown: Katie Brown, MD has dedicated her career to learning how to treat ME/CFS and related conditions, including Long COVID. Her interest stems from her own experience with the disease which she developed during her first year of medical school. She is very grateful to now be in remission and have the chance to use all she has learned, both as a doctor and a patient, to support others with ME/CFS. The clinical uncertainty around ME/CFS should not mean that patients don't get help. In order to educate and encourage other doctors to treat ME/CFS, she is writing a book outlining best practices for primary care doctors.

In this episode of the WAB Podcast, we take a look at STEM learning at WAB. Grade 9 student Zane and Grade 10 students Anna, David, and Xander take us behind the scenes of their robotics, game development, and biomedical engineering projects. What they share isn't just about technology, it's about creativity, collaboration, and learning with real-world impact.  Building, Breaking, Rebuilding: Robotics in Action  Xander and David have been working together to design a competition robot using the VEX V5 system. David focuses on 3D modeling with Onshape, while Xander brings the mechanical build to life.  "Dex V5 is an educational platform where students design, build, and program the robots to compete in yearly challenges," explains Xander. "Every new season, a new game is released, which means teams must create brand-new robots to match updated growth in the field and objectives." When asked about challenges, David shares, "Testing parts and different designs of robots takes a lot of time, especially when you physically have to swap parts in and out. To solve this problem, we started using 3D modeling code Onshape, which has helped us reduce a lot of errors during the actual building process." Using AI for Health Innovation  Anna's project is a low-cost cardiovascular risk detection device that uses AI to assess and rank heart disease risk factors. “The device uses an AI algorithm to analyze your risk factors that we'll be extracting using the same device,” she explains. “It analyzes this risk factor and also ranks them in importance.”  The hardest part, she says, was sourcing reliable training data. “Algorithms need an unbiased and balanced dataset. Patient data is hard to get due to patient privacy, but at last we found two, one from Kaggle and another from UCI.”  Anna believes that accessible AI is opening doors. “A lot of the algorithms are open source, so you can get them from the internet, and you don't have to code them on your own. With the help of AI language models, for example, ChatGPT, you're able to code these things on your own.”  Code, Graphics, and Game Design  Zane is creating a top-down RPG using GameMaker Studio. “It's free and it's really easy to learn and use,” he shares. “It's comfortable coding software that can be picked up pretty easily.”  His biggest early challenge? "Getting used to the coding software. It has a lot of functions that are convenient once you learn how to use them, but don't make much sense initially." Working in a two-person team, Zane focuses on programming while his friend Nick handles the graphics. “In the last month or so, we've kind of switched around, which is a good experience for me, and I think he's having a good time working on his programming skills.”  Reflecting on the process, Zane says, “Developing using code, I learned that mistakes are going to happen, and if you expect them, then it's easier. Expecting mistakes, one of the best things I've learned.”  Learning That Feels Real  All four students shared how these projects have pushed them, technically and personally. They've built new skills, worked through challenges, and found confidence in solving problems that matter to them.  They also spoke about how this learning is shaping their futures. For some, it sparked a clear career interest, robotics, game design, or biomedical engineering. For others, it's the mindset that's sticking with them: creativity, resilience, and the power of working with others.  “I think more people can do this than they realize,” Anna says. “With open-source tools, AI models, and even things like ChatGPT, you don't need to be an expert to start creating something meaningful.” These stories reflect the kind of purposeful, real-world learning happening all across WAB. Students are exploring big ideas, applying what they know in new ways, and connecting their passions to real-world challenges.  STEM at WAB isn't about following a textbook, it's about curiosity, collaboration, and creating with purpose.  Listen to the full conversation in Episode 5 of the WAB Podcast.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP You can also watch this episode over on my YouTube channel here! Well, guys, it's that time again; The Race Communique is back and, of course, we kick this one off by unpacking an absolutely huge edition of Milan San Remo! Three absolute titans of the sport (me, Southam, and Durbo) come together to talk about the first monument of the season. We got to witness, as Pipo Ganna called them ‘Gods of cycling' go toe to toe on the slopes of the Cipressa and the Poggio and, boy, did it exceed expectations. The confidence and arrogance of Pog trying to go from the foot of the Cipressa, the absolute ice man that is Van Der Poel responding to his every move, and Ganna showing what an absolute animal he is to hang tough with the big boys on the climbs. We talk all about it and, I'll tell you what, I honestly think that's the best edition I've ever seen.  Durbo's Pelo Chat takes a look at the ‘Superteams' of the sport - the guys with cash to burn like UAE or Visma who can pick up the best riders; money no object. But are the superteams good or bad for the sport, and is riding for one of them actually all it's cracked up to be? In this month's Talking Tactics, Southam fills us in on the upcoming UCI meeting to discuss whether additional wild cards should be issued for the biggest races. Now that some of the biggest riders, the likes of Pidcock, Hirschi, and Alaphilippe, have stepped down to ProTeam level, race organisers are stuck between a rock and a hard place if they want to keep the classic second division teams happy whilst also getting the fan favourites at their races. Plus, the UCI undermining all the hard work the lower ranked World Tour teams over the last few years to avoid relegation - it's absolute chaos.  Of course, we wrap things up with the Communi-quiz. Southam's quiz master this month, and he's bought out the race commentary clips for Durbo and I to guess the rider and the race. This is a real toughy, but you racing nuts out there will love it.  You guys know by now how much I love sitting down with Luke and Tom to yarn about the races. As always make sure you sit back, relax, crack open a cold one, and enjoy this month's Race Communique.  The Race Communiqué is brought to you by TrainingPeaks!

No. 4 Hawaii flexed their muscle all-around on then No, 2 UCI-- and made a STRONG case as to why they should be in the discussion for the post-season. In Week 9, the Battle for Chicago and Battle for Jersey all occurred to name a few. From there, they guys pick their players of the week and matches to watch in Week 10.  As promised, we run into our "Fan Questions" segment of the show-- one that can always go long.

If you grew up or currently live and ride bikes in a town with any sort of population, we bet there's either a group ride of some sort that just happened or will be happening in a few days. Maybe it starts from the local bike shop, or maybe it starts from the go-to coffee shop. Some rides are a chill Sunday spin that's gone on uninterrupted for the past two decades, while others are the three-hour World Championship ride with 50 of the local meatheads. We do our best to define these group tries, describe what motivates these rides, and how to find your ideal group ride, even if that means starting one yourself. Of course, we also dig into the news. That means talking about how the UCI handed out a last-minute ban on a Kask helmet visor that the Ineos Grenadiers have used for years, and talking to the team to find out what happened. Then came the sealant conversation. Silca is so certain of its sealant working headache-free that the brand has promised to pay a $500 Bad Day Bonus to its sponsored athletes who get punctures that don't seal. We dove into why it is so confident in its new Ultimate Sealant. All of that and more in the latest podcast! See more from Velo: https://velo.outsideonline.com/featured

Growing up in Ethiopia, Tsgabu Grmay was inspired to start riding by his father and older brother, who were both cyclists. As a teenager, he was selected to go to the UCI's World Cycling Centre in South Africa and signed with his first UCI team in 2012. Since then, he raced 12 years on the WorldTour with teams including Lampre-Merida, Trek-Segafredo, and Jayco-AlUla. He retired from road racing at the end of 2023, but joined Team Amani as a rider and coach. This year, he's on the roster for the Life Time Grand Prix. A lot of former WorldTour riders who turn to gravel are looking for a smooth offramp to retirement, or, at the very least, are hoping to professionalize the sport and bring more teams into the fold. But Tsgabu is fired up about all the things that make gravel different from road racing. He sat down with Payson in Girona this week to talk about his childhood in Ethiopia, the challenges he faced when he moved to Europe and joined the WorldTour, and why being on Team Amani and fostering cycling in East Africa is even more of a dream come true than racing the Tour de France.Instagram: @theadventurestacheYouTube: Payson McElveen

No coração do Vale do Capão, na Chapada Diamantina, nasceu um jovem que cresceria em meio à natureza exuberante, carregando consigo os valores que moldariam não apenas sua carreira, mas também sua essência como ser humano. Filho de um francês e de uma baiana, seu sobrenome tem raízes russas, compondo uma mistura de culturas tão rica quanto sua trajetória. Criado em um ambiente artístico, ele participou das atividades do Circo do Capão, fundado por seu pai, um artista circense que chegou ao Brasil em busca da capoeira e encontrou na Bahia um novo lar. Além das atividades no picadeiro, ele praticou jiu-jitsu, capoeira, boxe e futebol. Em 2013, começou também a praticar o mountain bike. Foi no ano de 2014, ao acompanhar a ultramaratona Brasil Ride como espectador, que ele descobriu o mundo do mountain bike competitivo. Inspirado pelo seu então professor de educação física, deixou as outras modalidades para se dedicar ao ciclismo e deu seus primeiros passos no esporte competitivo, conquistando o campeonato baiano na categoria Júnior no ano seguinte. A ascensão foi rápida, e logo ele estava dividindo a pista com grandes nomes como Henrique Avancini, de quem viria a se tornar companheiro de equipe e aprendiz. Desde 2020, integra a equipe Caloi Henrique Avancini Racing, destacando-se no cenário nacional e internacional. Conquistas como o bicampeonato na Super Elite da Copa Internacional (2020/23), o campeonato brasileiro elite de maratona em 2021, os vice-campeonatos brasileiro de XCO em 2022 e 2023, as quatorze vitórias UCI na elite e um top 20 na etapa da Copa do Mundo realizada em Mairiporã, este ano, foram marcos em sua carreira, evidenciando sua categoria e capacidade de competir entre os melhores do mundo. Em 2024, garantiu sua vaga nos Jogos Olímpicos de Paris, conquistando a 21ª colocação no Cross-Country Olímpico (XCO), feito que ele atribui tanto à sua evolução técnica quanto à serenidade mental alcançada. O que começou como uma simples paixão por pedalar nas trilhas da Chapada Diamantina o levou a ser uma das principais promessas do mountain bike brasileiro. Agora, aos 26 anos, com seu espírito resiliente e sua conexão com as raízes, ele se prepara para enfrentar mais um ciclo olímpico, carregando consigo a bandeira nordestina e brasileira, bem como a leveza de quem sabe que sua história já é, por si só, inspiradora. Conosco aqui, um artista do mountain bike profissional, atual campeão brasileiro de XCO, um sonhador e ambicioso palmeirense, Ulan Bastos Galinski. Inspire-se!

This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! It's been a long, cold winter, but Svein and I are back for the 2025 season with a fresh ep of Life In The Peloton: Chronicles for you - the Pelo members.  Just like when we were pro cyclists, which feels like a long time ago now, we had ourselves a little off season to reset, freshen up, and make plans for the next year. It was great to catch up with Sveino for the first time since October, and this month we're talking all about kicking off a new season as a rider. That mental reset is just as important as the physical one, and after a little break, Sveino and I are itching to get going! Things have changed a lot since we were riders. Back in our day, we had a relaxed start to the racing season; plenty of base miles over the winter, then rock up to Tour Down Under ready to get some intensity in the legs and build towards the first “real” races in the Spring. Sveino even rode 2000km from Canada to California for an early season team camp in 2003 to build some fitness after a winter relaxing out in the snow and skiing rather than riding! I love hearing Sveino's wild, adventurous stories - he's like the original Lachy Morton. Nowadays, early season races like the Tour Down Under are real targets for a lot of riders. Whether it's a team hunting UCI points to avoid relegation, neo pros that need to start getting experience in the bunch with the big boys, or legendary riders targeting San Remo in March that want some race KMs in their legs before their competitors back in Europe. We've just had the 25th edition of the race, and I was down in Adelaide getting stuck into the action in the commentary booth, at the roadside, and - of course - behind the pod mic, catching up with some old mates. Svein and I listened back to some great chats with our old mates Michael Hepburn, Luke Durbridge, Sam Bewley, and Aaron Gate about the Tour Down Under and how it can set a rider up for the season ahead.  I also caught up with a guy I used to love spinning a yarn with in the bunch; the president of the CPA, Adam Hansen. We spoke about the new UCI rules that will impact the races this season. New feedzone regulations, changes to time gaps if you crash in the final, and the introduction of yellow cards for multiple infractions - it's going to keep the riders on their toes this year, that's for sure.   As always, Svein and I chat about a heap of other topics - with plenty of anecdotes from our time in the bunch and the years since we both hung up the race wheels. I love telling these stories, and I hope you love hearing them. Cheers! Mitch

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP The 2025 road racing season has kicked off down here in Adelaide at the Tour Down Under, and that can only mean one thing; it's time for The Race Communiqué! It's been a long off season, but Southam, Durbo, and I are back on the mics having a yarn about bike racing, and boy is it good to be back. TDU is a special race. Not only is it my “home” race, but it's also one of the only times of the year that EF Education Easypost DS Tom Southam, newly crowned Aussie natty champ Luke Durbridge, and I are all in the same place. So, for the first episode of 2025, we decided to kick the pod up a gear and record it LIVE! We've also recorded a video podcast which you can find over on Life In The Peloton's Youtube channel - so make sure you go and give that a watch! Durbo, still riding high from his epic victory in Perth a few weeks back, kicks off the pod by talking us through his incredible ride that secured him the green and gold bands. It was a show of amazing team tactics, a little bit of luck, and a hell of a lot of hard work from Turbo Durbo - and it's awesome to get his insight on how the race played out. Obviously with the launch of MAAPs awesome collaboration with Jayco Alula, we discuss the new team kits in the peloton in ‘Pelo Chat'. We talk about how the style of the peloton has changed over the years, and how a good team kit can totally redefine a team's identity.  Tom's ‘Talking Tactics' segment dives into the new UCI rules that have changed the way riders will feed in the bunch this season. Trust me, it's way more interesting than it sounds, and will make a huge difference to team strategy this season.  Of course, it wouldn't be The Race Communiqué without the Communi-Quiz - a TDU special hosted by Southam.  I'm also stoked to announce that for the 2025 season, The Race Communiqué will be presented by TrainingPeaks.

Who's Riding What? Alan Milway on the 2025 Downhill Roster

We're deep in the middle of the 2025 downhill team moves, and with all the structural changes the UCI has made to the downhill World Cup, things have gotten pretty complicated. This week, we're joined by Alan Milway, Norco Race Division team manager and coach to the stars, to help us break it all down. We'll go team by team, giving you the inside scoop on who's riding what and how we think it might shake out this season. Now, a quick disclaimer—this was recorded the day after the team submissions to the UCI, so not all the facts were available. In some cases, we've had to piece together the puzzle, and we might not have got it all spot on. Case in point: my biggest slip-up so far was speculating that Commencal Schwalbe by Les Orres might struggle to make the top-15 team cut. Turns out, I hadn't realised just how many points Lisa Baumann racked up outside of World Cup racing. Top work, Lisa, and apologies to the team for underestimating you! Alright, this episode has heaps of insight ahead from one of the sharpest minds in the business. So, it's time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Alan Milway.
