Lionel Birnie is back on the Tour to join François Thomazeau and Ian Boswell as the second week draws to a close. It saw a big win for one of the sprinters who was hoping to find a chink in Wout van Aert?s armour, and a difficult day for the yellow jersey?s team.

S10 Ep88: Stage 14 | Saint-Étienne ? Mende | Tour de France 2022

After 192.5km from Saint-Etienne to Mende, Stage 14 of the 2022 Tour de France was won by Australian Michael Matthews, who produced a brilliant ride to win a tough and hilly stage.

Matthews duked it out with Alberto Bettiol on the final climb, but he was able to claim his fourth Tour stage win of his career.

And in tonight's Cycling Podcast, Rose, Francois and Ian discuss the winner and the almost winner as well as hearing from Matthews' bosses Matt White, David McPartland, our dear friend Ciro on Bettiol, Charly Wegelius, Alberto Bettiol himself and Louis Meintjes.

S10 Ep87: Stage 13 | Le Bourg d?Oisans ? Saint-Étienne | Tour de France 2022

On the road to Saint-Étienne it was not only love that could break your heart, if you were Fred Wright then it was Mads Pedersen who held that ability as he took the stage from the day?s breakaway, another great win for a Danish rider. This was one of the only stages between here and Paris that looked like ending in a conventional bunch sprint but that went out the window when Caleb Ewan?s heart was broken by a crash that left him nursing a knee injury and unable to regain touch with the bunch. On a harder than expected day, the absence of Caleb?s team at the front of the chase meant that the stage swung in favour of the powerhouse breakaway.
Rose, Ian, and Francois are joined by Ed Pickering for this episode.

Last Sunday, thousands of amateur riders rode L'Étape du Tour, a sportive organised by ASO over the route of Stage 12 of this year's Tour de France from Briançon to Alpe D'Huez, crossing the Col du Galibier and Col de la Croix de Fer en route to the finish.

S10 Ep77: Kilometre 0 ? Rog's cobbles rehearsal

This episode of Kilometre 0 is one of the last things Richard Moore recorded for The Cycling Podcast before he died unexpectedly at the end of March.

One day Richard noticed a couple of significant names on the start list for the Grand Prix Denain. It's not a particularly big race but this year it offered Primo? Rogli?, Jonas Vingegaard and a few other Tour de France hopefuls a chance to experience the cobbles in competition before the Tour's own date with the pavé.

Richard called Lionel when he spotted Rogli?'s name on the start list and said, 'It'll make a great episode of Kilometre 0.'

And so, here it is, the story of Jumbo-Visma's dry run on the cobbles at the Grand Prix Denain back in the spring.

S10 Ep71: Kilometre 0 ? Danish Dynamite, part one

The long-awaited Grand Départ in Denmark gets underway with Friday's opening time trial and Copenhagen, a city that celebrates the bicycle, has never been more ready.

Danish cycling is enjoying another wave of success with the likes of Mads Pedersen, Jonas Vingegaard, Kasper Asgreen among the ten home riders on the start list.

But, like most cycling stories, the history of Danish cycling is complicated. This two-part episode of Kilometre 0 borrows its title from a brilliant book about Denmark's football team that took the world by storm in the 1980s, and tells the story of the rise, fall and rebirth of Danish cycling.

In this part, Lionel talks to Brian Nygaard, who worked closely with Denmark's only Tour de France champion, Bjarne Riis. Of course, there is a heavy asterisk against Riis's 1996 Tour win because it was fuelled by EPO and came in the middle of the sport's darkest days ? although the depths of skulduggery were not truly brought to light until the Festina affair two years later. As CSC team manager Riis was then a key player in the next big doping scandal to blight Tour ? the Operacion Puerto blood-doping investigation which forced his team leader Ivan Basso out of the 2006 Tour on the eve of the opening time trial. Brian had a front row seat for that.

S10 Ep70: The Tour de France 2022 preview

Join Lionel Birnie, François Thomazeau and Mitch Docker in Copenhagen for an eve-of-the-Tour de France scene-setter before Friday?s opening time trial.
We ask Mitch if he would have picked Mark Cavendish if he?d been selecting the Quick Step team, we ponder how Tadej Poga?ar can be toppled, and ask if Ineos Grenadiers have fashioned their own version of the Bora-Hansgrohe quartet.
Thankfully, we stop short of naming all 176 riders in our preview episode as the speculation threatens to get out of hand.
Join Lionel, François and Mitch for daily coverage of the world?s greatest bike race after the opening time trial on Friday evening.

S10 Ep69: This Slovenian Life: part two

Part two of This Slovenian Life opens up on a rainy day in Ljubljana where Primo? Rogli? is waiting on the top floor of the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce. He'll (very colourfully) convey a few amusing anecdotes from his eventful past and the differences between coming up in ski jumping versus cycling. We then meet some of Slovenian cycling's youngest stars, the juniors racers in Tadej Poga?ar's incubator Pogi Team. The Cycling Podcast joins them for two important races ? a criterium in Italy and the Slovenian national road championships, one of their biggest tests of the season.

S10 Ep68: Les crus des flâneurs

A Frenchman, the poet Paul Claudel, once opined that ?wine is a professor of taste, a liberator of the spirit and an illuminator of intelligence?. Far be it for us to make the same claim of The Cycling Podcast ? though we can but try with our coverage of this year?s Grande Boucle, which starts from Copenhagen in Denmark on July 1.

To enhance your enjoyment ? and, who knows, aid your enlightenment ? we are once again teaming up with DVine Cellars of London to offer a selection of six wines celebrating the Tour route. As ever, from Alsace to the northern shore of Lac Léman in Switzerland, from the Valley of the Rhône to the Lot, the wines will surprise and hopefully delight.

In this episode, Daniel journeys to DVine Cellars HQ in South London to meet our resident wine guru and case curator, Greg Andrews, and discuss how Greg came up with this year?s selection. 

To order the case itself, head to DVine Cellars.

The Crus des Flâneurs
? Domaine Weinbach, Cuvée gentil, Alsace
? Cave de la Côte, Doral, Switzerland
? Stéphane Ogier, Le Temps Est Venu, Côtes du Rhône
? Olivier Coste, Rare, Carignan blanc, Languedoc

S10 Ep66: This Slovenian Life: part one

To many cycling viewers, the rise of Primo? Rogli? and Tadej Poga?ar may feel like it came out of nowhere. Longer-term cycling fans might remember the years of Tadej Valjavec and Jani Brajkovi? as the first time Slovenia registered for them on the world stage of cycling. But the reality is, Slovenian cycling has been around for a long time, as long as cycling itself. In this first part of a two-part series for The Cycling Podcast, Kate Wagner shares her travels to Slovenia where she tracked down recent stars like Matej Mohori?, Primo? Rogli?, and Jani Brajkovi?, long-retired ex-riders you may have never heard of such as Cantino Tollo rider Martin Hvrastija; historians, journalists and more to find the answers to the question we're all asking: how did Slovenia get to the highest echelon of professional cycling? In addition, Wagner mixes this account with history, culture, travel writing, and literature in order to paint a rich picture of Slovenia, her second home.

S10 Ep65: The Women's Tour 2022

Rose Manley and Orla Chennaoui are joined by Lizzy Banks for a packed episode to discuss the 2022 edition of the Women's Tour.

Rose and Lizzy were in Oxford for the end of the race and after the final stage Rose caught up ? literally ? with the overall winner as she headed to get her train. Rose also headed to the podium herself to present the inaugural Richard Moore Award to Clara Copponi. This prize was created by the race organisers, Sweetspot, to recognise the rider who goes above and beyond in their dealings with the media during the race. Everyone at The Cycling Podcast would like to thank Sweetspot for remembering Richard. We end this episode with some of the Buffalo's highlights from his time covering the Women's Tour with Orla and Rose.

S10 Ep64: The Best There Never Was

This episode of The Cycling Podcast features Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie talking about Daniel?s biography of the German cyclist Jan Ullrich.
Recorded over a glass of wine on the Giro d?Italia?s rest day in Abruzzo, Lionel starts by asking why Daniel wanted to write about the 1997 Tour de France champion.
In a way it?s a classic tale of partially fulfilled talent ? Ullrich burst onto the scene in 1996, finishing second in the Tour de France behind his Telekom teammate Bjarne Riis. The following year, while still aged only 23, Ullrich won the Tour by nine minutes. Cycling looked set for an era of total domination by the German.
But it didn?t work out like that as Ullrich?s vulnerability was exposed partly by the pressure of being the focal point of an entire nation?s cycling hopes and dreams. Lance Armstrong came back from cancer and won the Tour seven years in a row and Ullrich was regularly his closest challenger.
Then, after Armstrong?s retirement in 2005, Ullrich looked set to inherit the crown ? until he was revealed to be a client of the blood doping doctor Eufemiano Fuentes.

S10 Ep63: The stage race trilogy approaches

The Cycling Podcast Féminin returns just as the Women?s World Tour peloton prepares to tackle three stage races in the space of a couple of months. First up it?s the Women?s Tour in Britain, then the Giro d?Italia Donne and finally, at the end of July, the inaugural Tour de France Femmes. In this episode Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lionel Birnie look ahead to the racing.
Orla speaks to new World Hour Record holder Ellen van Dijk, who broke Joss Lowden?s distance which she set last year. How close ? or far away ? does the 50km barrier feel now? Lionel catches up with Lizzy Banks to discuss what?s in store for the Women?s Tour and finds it promises to be a much more dynamic battle for the general classification this year because of some tricky stages, not least the uphill finish at Black Mountain in Wales. And Rose speaks to SD Worx rider Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, who will spearhead her team?s challenge at the Women?s Tour in the absence of reigning champion Demi Vollering.

S10 Ep62: Service Course | The concussion protocol

In this month's episode of Service Course, Tom Whalley and Lizzy Banks tackle the issue of concussion recognition head on. Tom and Lizzy investigate the technologies already out there that could transform concussion recognition in both professional and amateur cycling. 

Lizzy speaks to HIT Recognition founder, Euan Bowen about their device which can be placed on the back of a helmet and which provides instant g-force data to assess the impact when a rider sustains a hit to the head. Dr David Stevens of Neuroflex tells us about their virtual reality headset that is already transforming concussion recognition pitchside in rugby. Could this have the potential to be a fast, accurate and independent method of assessing vestibular and ocular motor changes due to concussion roadside in cycling? 

Lizzy speaks to physiotherapist and coach, Tom Fallon, who is providing a concussion education program to the Cycling Ireland junior programme and has also performed research on athlete attitudes to concussion.

The last mountain stage of the 2022 Giro d?Italia promised fireworks. Three giant Dolomite passes & two determined opponents, Mikel Landa & Jai Hindley, stood between Richard Carapaz & a repeat of his 2019 Giro triumph tomorrow in Verona. 

In tonight?s episode, from the Passo Fedaia, we tell the story of a thrilling day made even more exciting by the preceding three weeks of mounting suspense.

S10 Ep59: Stage 19 | Marano Lagunare ? Santuario di Castelmonte | Giro d?Italia 2022

The penultimate mountain stage of the 2022 Giro d?Italia took the race into Slovenia, with the battle for the maglia rosa still delicately poised. Could Richard Carapaz consolidate his advantage - or might Mikel Landa and Jai Hindley attempt to finally break the deadlock that has turned this into one of the closest, most uncertain Giri in recent memory?

Breakaways have been consistently rewarded in recent days, and so it would prove again with Koen Bouwman taking his second stage win of the Giro. Meanwhile, despite numerous attempts from all three in the finale, Carapaz, Hindley and Landa still couldn?t be separated. In tonight?s episode, we discuss all the day?s action, welcome BikeExchange-Jayco directeur sportif Matt White for a drive-by cameo, and look ahead to tomorrow?s Dolomite blockbuster with some of the riders who?ll have to scale the San Pellegrino and Fedaia passes in just a few hours.

S10 Ep58: Kilometre 0 ? In fair Verona

The 2022 edition of the Giro d'Italia finishes in Verona ? just as the 1984 edition did, and it is that race which has long fascinated Lionel Birnie. It took place towards the end of the second great era of rivalry in Italian cycling. Francesco Moser was heading towards the end of his career and had yet to win the Giro. Time was running out but all of Italy was willing him to do it, including the race director Vincenzo Torriani.

This episode tells the story of the 1984 Giro and features the journalist Herbie Sykes, author of Giro 100, but it also explains the city of Verona and its place in Italy through the eyes of another writer, Tim Parks, who in the 1990s spent a season discovering Italy while watching Hellas Verona home and away.

Stage 18 of the Giro d?Italia took the riders from Borgo Valsugana to Treviso in the Veneto region. On paper, this looked like the last opportunity for the sprinter in this year?s Corsa Rosa. But a strong four-man breakaway group would upset the odds.

In tonight?s episode we are joined by the Acting American Ambassador to Italy, Thomas D. Smithham to discuss all the action, the dos and don?ts of ordering both apperitivo and desert in Treviso, the blockbuster weekend, and life as a foreigner in Italy.

S10 Ep55: Kilometre 0 ? Thinking pink

Professional cycling has until recently been slow to recognise the merits of sports psychologists and mental coaches, but that is changing in the age of marginal gains. Many riders now accept that brain power can add extra watts through the pedals ? and the team leading the Giro hopes that it can help them carry the maglia rosa all the way to Verona. The Ineos Grenadiers? sports psychologist Robbie Anderson has lived & consulted with his team?s riders through the Corsa Rosa. In this episode of Kilometre 0, he tells Daniel Friebe how he works, why cycling presents unique mental challenges ? and why strange rituals involving props like salt cellars have gained such traction in cycling.

The Giro made its way towards Aprica for what many have dubbed this year?s Queen Stage. Having set out from the western shore of Lake Garda, the peloton would scale the Mortirolo and the Valico di Santa Cristina ? to name just two of the climbs on today?s route ? before finishing in Aprica, the scene of many a famous Giro exploit. 
We hear from Valerio Piva, who helped steer Jan Hirt to a surprise stage win, and Pavel Sivakov, who helped steer Richard Carapaz through a stage that solidified his position in the maglia rosa. There?s also talk of citrons, Sforzato, pizzoccheri and ? again ? of local hero the Trout of Gavardo.

S10 Ep52: Kilometre 0 ? Poetry and motion

The Giro?s third rest day in Salò on Monday gives us pause to consider the curious intersection of the Lake Garda resort?s notorious history, one of the more scandalous films of the 20th century ? and why the Corsa Rosa is as much epic journey as bike race.

What happened in Salò? Who was Pier Paolo Pasolini? And do the Giro riders of 2022 consider themselves adventures and explorers or just racers?

Featuring interviews with Giro director Mauro Vegni, Chris Juul-Jensen, Guillaume Martin and others. Today?s Kilometre 0 ponders all of this and the allure of perhaps cycling?s greatest road trip, in the country they call Il Bel Paese.

S10 Ep51: Stage 15 | Rivarolo Canavese ? Cogne | Giro d?Italia 2022

The Giro finally journeyed into the Alps with Richard Carapaz in the maglia rosa and the peloton weary after Saturday?s blockbuster into Turin. Could Jai Hindley and Bora-Hansgrohe dethrone the Ecuadorian ahead of Monday?s rest day?

We hear from Hindley after a stage that elevated a great white hope of Italian cycling but saw the GC contenders cancel each other out. The episode also features a disappointed but hopeful Hugh Carthy, the inimitable Ciro Scognamiglio - and some very lively local fans.

S10 Ep50: Stage 14 | Santena ? Torino | Giro d?Italia 2022

Last night Daniel Friebe longed for some action from the general classification contenders ? today he got his wish with ? as he described it ? a ripsnorter of a stage in the hills around Turin.
Daniel is joined by Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard to make sense of a crazy day which whittled the number of potential Giro champions down to a large handful.
We?ll hear from the Bora-Hansgrohe management team about how they rode themselves into a strong position, we discuss the impact of the heat during this very warm edition of the Giro and we assess the likelihood of a close race for the pink jersey in the final week.

Join Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard in Barolo country for a discussion about the Giro d?Italia?s frantic chase between the break and bunch.
Expect some wine chat, general disgust at the idea of dipping focaccia into cappuccino, the merits of the Giro?s transitional stages, and a fierce debate about whether the overall race has been exciting enough. We hear from the riders, sports directors and there?s another installment of the Giro del Bufalo.

S10 Ep48: Kilometre 0 ? Popo's mission

For most directeurs sportifs, especially one who spent his most important years as a cyclist in Italy, taking and defending the maglia rosa might be a euphoric experience. It is indeed for Trek-Segafredo?s Yaroslav Popovych, but, to him, Juan Pedro López?s pink jersey may also feel more like a welcome distraction. In February, Russia declared war on Popovych?s Ukraine, and three months on their bombs are still falling. Watching on from Italy, Popovych felt helpless ? and yet soon swung into action. In this Kilometre 0, he tells Daniel about his extraordinary efforts to offer aid and in some cases salvation to his compatriots back home.

S10 Ep47: Stage 12 | Parma ? Genoa | Giro d?Italia 2022

Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard in a sunny square in Genoa after stage 12 of the Giro d?Italia.
We go on the hunt for focaccia, break down the way the breakaway captured the stage and ask whether a win for a team?s established superstar is worth ?more? in terms of PR than a victory by a less well-known rider.
Brian also talks about being team manager of Leopard-Trek when the Belgian rider Wouter Weylandt died in a crash at the 2011 Giro. Today?s stage went over the Passo del Bocco, where the accident happened.
