A strange and extreme mountain standing alone in the south of France, prone to high winds and baking heat, Mont Ventoux is unlike any other climb. And this year on stage 11, the Tour de France rides it not once, but twice, tackling two different routes up the mountain.Whether it's a great champion like Eddy Merckx needing oxygen on its steep slopes, or Chris Froome literally running up the road, there's always drama whenever the Tour visits Ventoux. And it has played part to truly tragic moments. Infamously, its summit was the site where Tom Simpson collapsed and died in the 1967 Tour de France.In this special episode dedicated to this mountain that beckons like few others in cycling, we speak to riders who love it, and those who would rather never visit it again. EF Education–Nippo team boss Jonathan Vaughters, who once held the record up the climb, joins to discuss his days racing the climb and what to expect this year. Later, Tom Simpson's daughter, Joanne, shares memories of her late father.OJ Borg hosts this in-depth look at the mountain, and is joined by Tour de France correspondent for the Guardian Jeremy Whittle, whose obsession with Ventoux dates back decades and led him to write a book, “Ventoux: Sacrifice and Suffering on the Giant of Provence.” Later, his colleague William Fotheringham shares an excerpt from his book, “Put Me Back on My Bike: In Search of Tom Simpson.”This is a can't-miss episode for any cycling fan as we head into the stage 11 double ascent of Ventoux on July 7. Aérogramme is presented by Hyperice.

In this special bonus podcast, we dig into the mythology of the mountain ascents that define the Giro d’Italia—the Stelvio, Zoncolan, Col de Fenestre and more.

The longtime Cycling Correspondent of The Guardian newspaper, launch editor of Procycling magazine and author of biographies of Tom Simpson, Eddy Merckx and Fausto Coppi discusses his life as a cycling writer (and fan) , including his most recent works, 'Sunday in Hell: Behind the Lens of the Greatest Cycling Film of All Time' and 'The Greatest: The Times and Life of Beryl Burton'. Hosted by Duncan Steer.

Do remember what race was supposed to run this Sunday? It was supposed to be Paris-Roubaix. But more important, do you remember who won Paris-Roubaix on April 8, 1990? Well, when Belgian Eddy Planckaert and Canadian Steve Bauer crossed the line on the Roubaix velodrome 30 years ago, neither of them was sure. After a lot of deliberation by race officials, the win went to Plankaert. After 265.5 km of hard racing, Planckaert beat Bauer by millimetres. In March, Canadian Cycling Magazine editor Matthew Pioro spoke with Bauer. The CCC Pro Team sports director had recently returned home to St. Catharines, Ont., from Europe and was in self-isolation. We discussed the Monument that almost, almost went to a Canadian. This Sunday, as you face absence of Spring Classics in 2020, do re-watch A Sunday in Hell, Jorgen Leth’s documentary of the 1976 Paris-Roubaix. Also, highly recommended is William Fotheringham’s book about the making of the documentary called Sunday in Hell. Wouldn’t that be just hellacious? In the good way. Enjoy both Hells! Thanks to Ontario Creates for its support.

At a Guardian Live event in London, the Guardian’s cycling supremo William Fotheringham meets one of the most decorated men in British cycling, David Millar, to discuss his career and the pumped-up world of competitive cycling. Contains strong language.

Our long distance pedal panel – Oli Broom, Tim Moore, Hannah Reynolds and William Fotheringham – took to the stage at 2pm. Between them they've cycled the distance from Earth to Mars. Probably. Listen to the talk in full below to find out why getting saddle sore is worth it. Listen to the whole talk below:

The Truth About Britain’s Greatest Cyclist Long before Bradley Wiggins took the world by storm, British cycling already had a hero. Tom Simpson was world champion and the first Briton to wear yellow in the Tour de France. In 1967 Simpson died during a stage of the Tour while climbing the monstrous Mont Ventoux. Today, Guardian writer William Fotheringham discusses Put Me Back on My Bike - his superb account of Simpson’s life and death.

Long before Bradley Wiggins took the world by storm, British cycling already had a hero. Tom Simpson was world champion and the first Briton to wear yellow in the Tour de France. In 1967 he died during a stage of the Tour while climbing the monstrous Mont Ventoux. In this event, recorded live at the 2014 Edinburgh International Book Festival, Guardian writer William Fotheringham discusses Put Me Back on My Bike - his superb account of Simpson’s life and death.

Cycling was a hot topic during the summer of 2012, with British success in the Olympics and the Tour de France, and the breaking of the Lance Armstrong scandal, and it was against this backdrop that sports journalist William Fotheringham came to the Book Festival to talk about one of the cycling world’s lesser-known legends. Eddy Merckx is to cycling what Ali (or Tyson) was to boxing and Pelé (or Messi) is to football: quite simply, the best there has ever been. Throughout his professional career the Belgian amassed an astonishing 445 victories and, along the way, dealt with horrific injury, a doping scandal and tragedy. Fotheringham shared the details of this remarkable sporting life during this event, which was recorded live at the Edinburgh International Book Festival, with festival Director Nick Barley.

Cross Elvis Presley with Muhammad Ali, raise him in a grocery shop in post-war Belgium, put him on a bicycle and what do you get? The greatest cyclist of all time: Eddy Merckx. Cycling journalists Daniel Friebe and William Fotheringham have both treated us to new books about Eddy Merckx, the Cannibal, winner of 525 professional races, five Tours de France, five Giri d'Italia and countless Classics. He was world champion and broke the hour record. We talk about his career, his motivations and the challenges of telling the story of the greatest racing cyclist who ever lived. Continue reading →
