On Yer Bike Cycling Podcast

Saint Piran announce they're folding and with that, the British men's professional road racing scene is down to just one team, INEOS Grenadiers. Just how bleak is it for cycling in the UK and are there any silver linings? Cycling writer and editor Daniel Benson gives his thoughts and we talk Tom Pidcock and INEOS, after Daniel broke lots of news on that situation. There's room for transfers, the women's peloton, Pogacar and online impersonators, all that and more with Sanny and Katy on, On Yer Bike!

Presenters:

Pidcock stays, Cummings leaves, and a development team in the works - but they're German? It's all change at Britain's top team - we chat INEOS, Demi Vollering to FDJ Suez, the Tour de France routes for 2025, goodbye from Cavendish as Romain Bardet has his say on the pro peloton, will Blue Sky change cycling social media and much more on this edition of On Yer Bike!

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?
