In this episode we look at the opening week of the Giro & ponder who are the real men and who are the big girl’s blouses (not wanting to disrespect women, of course!) We are growing slightly weary of the Wiggo & Froomey Tour leadership spat & we welcome the return of the Cross Country [...]
In this episode, we are jam-packed with racing news. The single-day Classics & semi-Classics mingle happily with the multi-day stage races & we struggle to stay on-topic for 2 seconds! From Dan Martin’s win in Catalunya to Peter Sagan’s wheelie in Ghent-Wevelgem, it’s all here (well, bits of it, and not necessarily in the right [...]
Having almost forgotten we record a regular cycling podcast, we return unabashed with a show broadly devoid of any talk of pharmaceutical malfeasance. Things also get bumpy for the UCI as we examine the departure of Rocky Roads (who?) from the title sponsorship of the Mountain Bike World Cup, while Gary’s takes the absolute hump with [...]

There is SO much cycling going on at the moment – where to start? Well, we start by wrapping up the Olympic track results & move on to the Vuelta. Can Sky support Froome? Is he truly a pure climber? Just two of the questions that we will probably not satisfactorily answer! We then bring [...]
Welcome to our 2012 Tour de France preview episode. Jam-packed with ill-informed opinion, reckless predictions & downright anti-Spanish racism. In a brief diversion, we get side tracked into discussing the excellent interview of Stephen Roche, carried out by Jack Thurston of The Bike Show. Jack did an absolutely brilliant job of putting Stephen on the [...]
In this episode we round up the Giro with talk of Thomas de Gendt’s stunning breakaway victory on the Stelvio & Ryder Hesjedal’s win in the overall. We ask whether Garmin have come of age as serious Grand Tour contenders. (The Competitor Radio interview with Jonathan Vaughters that Gary mentioned, can be found here) [...]
In this latest episode we discuss the showing of Bradley Wiggins at the recent Tour of Romandie, not only on but off the bike. We give our inexpert analysis of the first week and a bit of the Giro d’Italia and also look ahead to the Amgen Tour of California, and not just to prove [...]
