On Yer Bike Cycling Podcast

How many times will we say Tadej Pogacar is victorious on the road in 2024 - no more - the season is over as the Slovenian blows everyone away in Lombardia. Is road racing now the battle for second or even third when he’s racing? No Tom Pidcock present - has he thrown his toys out the pram one too many times at INEOS Grenadiers?! We have a big old chat on what's not been working for the Brit and whether we'll see him in an INEOS jersey again - could even end up privateering in cyclocross?? Lotte Kopecky bounces back from a stage 5 crash in the Simac Tour to show her domination of the women's peloton, We say goodbye to Christine Majerus in Holland and to the great Grace Brown in France as she bows out of cycling, with glory in the Chrono des Nations. Africa's road championships misses it's champion from the women's race, there's a spotlight on cyclocross for all the wrong reasons... and in the age old battle of Man v Horse, Tim de Clercq comes out on top.

It’s a Dutch domination at the Gravel Worlds as Marianne Vos and Mathieu van der Poel take gold. How much gravel do you need for a gravel race and should more events take in multi-story car parks? 

Looking at the finish photos from Paris-Tour - should that be called a gravel race instead?! 

There’s deja vu at Giro dell'emilia as Tadej Pogacar takes the win with a strikingly similar attack as  Matteo Jorgensen shows he’s a once AND twice bitten sort of person.

And as F1’s Valtteri Bottas swaps four wheels for two, which other sports stars should get on their bikes?

Tadej Pogacar - wow. The third man ever to win the Giro, Tour de France and World title in the same year, as if you didn't already know! We look back at a mad 100km solo in the men's race. We reflect on Demi Vollering choosing violence that ultimately opened the door for Lotte Kopecky to defend her title and we bring you the para cycling headlines as the Netherlands top the table but GB's Dame Sarah Storey is just one of the show-stealers.

We've had the blistering Time Trials and the World Championship Road Race awaits! It's a bumper episode, we open talking cycling transfers as riders get their moves in and Bora boost their youthful line-up. We review the time trials for juniors, U23s, Elite Women and Men with Remco Evenepoel emulating Grace Brown with World and Olympic success in the same year. Can they both make it a double double? Pogacar's going for the triple crown, can Mathieu van der Poel stop him? Where's Lotte Kopecky at in her quest to defend her crown and which of at least three Dutchwomen will be taking her on?! And speaking of doubles by the way, what about 18-year-old Cat Ferguson - we shine a light on a star in the making winning TT and RR world gold.

The World championships are upon us! We look ahead to the time trials ahead of another episode we'll do on the road race. Can anyone stop Remco Evenepoel and Lotte Kopecky? There's Euro road champs to review, Tadej Pogacar reminds us with 20km to go in Montreal why he's the one to place your bets (of course) in the Worlds roads but wait... is that Mathieu van der Poel winning a spring in Luxembourg? Plus why is everything so 'SUPER' in cycling??!
