This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will are joined by Peter Sagan. When Sagan burst onto the scene in the early 2010s he was heralded as the greatest talent of his generation, and so he proved to be. 121 professional victories later he’d notched up three World Championships, seven Tour de France green jerseys, multiple Grand Tour stages and national titles plus a Tour of Flanders and a Paris-Roubaix cobble. Famed for his dry wit, flamboyant riding style and antics on and off the bike – from wheelies to running man celebrations – Sagan became cycling’s poster boy for the better part of his 15 year career. Now retired, Sagan reflects on a life at the top, from the heady highs to the soul-searching lows; explains the importance of team dynamics; gives us his thoughts on today’s riders; and opens up about a recently discovered heart condition that could have ended his life and has ended up costing him any further professional racing career. 0:00 Introduction 2:40 Life in retirement 9:45 Cycling today and the Pogacar-Vingegaard rivalry 12:28 Life as 'The Next Eddy Merckx' 21:51 The highs and lows of professional racing 33:50 Slovak star from humble beginnings 36:20 Heart condition 46:36 Afterthoughts Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
In this week’s episode of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, Robyn and James are joined by Connie Carpenter-Phinney, who is 1984 became the first ever Olympic Women’s Road Race gold medal winner. Connie charts her career from 14 year-old winter Olympic speed skater to champion road cyclist, a sporting career which saw her win multiple national titles and dominate races such as the Coors Classic. Married to fellow American cyclist Davis Phinney, mother to ex-pro Taylor Phinney and mother-in-law to reigning Tour de France Femmes champ, Kasia Niewiadoma (Taylor’s wife), though Connie has long since retired she’s still very close to cycling, and here contrasts her experiences competing in 1980s with life on two wheels now, from her near non-existent racing budget to building her own wheels, burning out after the Olympics and watching her son race, including witnessing the horror crash that nearly cost him his life. An irrepressible spirit, Connie has no sporting regrets, and today puts her energy into the charity she founded after husband Davis was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s. The Davis Phinney Foundation aims to raise awareness, money, and crucially to provide support and resources to those living with, and caring for, people with Parkinson’s. 0:00 SloVelo Escapes 1:37 Introduction 3:00 Interview with Connie Carpenter-Phinney 1:09:14 Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will are joined by Dr Aron D’Souza, president of the Enhanced Games. Billed as ‘the ultimate demonstration of what the human body can do’, the Enhanced Games seeks in part to answer that age-old pub question, ‘What if athletes were allowed to dope, how much better would they be?’ It’s a divisive topic unlike any other in sport, but having secured funding – including from Donald Trump Jnr – D’Souza and his team are confident the first edition of the Enhanced Games will run within the next two years. Unlike the Olympics, athletes will be directly paid to participate and will receive bonuses for breaking records, and thus the edges of human limits will be smashed through. There’ll be input from pharmaceutical companies, profits will be recycled into the research of newer drugs to push boundaries ever further, and the trickle-down effect will be that one day, that drug you saw on TV that helped that 69-year-old woman run a sub-10 second 100m will be available to you. 0:00 Interview 1:42 Interview with Aron D'Souza 48:42 Discussing the Enhanced Games Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
In this week’s episode of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast James is joined by Phil Burt, former head of physiotherapy at British Cycling and Team Sky and the man who literally wrote the book on bike fit. They discuss micro adjusters and macro absorbers, how riders’ needs and wants are changing, and the affect of indoor cycling on the body. Phil also explains the theory behind the use of shorter cranks, the advantages, and how Bradley Wiggins was already on 165mm cranks at the Rio Olympics in 2016.
