Show Notes

Christmas is coming but there's still enough time for us to squeeze in one final podcast before we're all submerged in discarded wrapping paper. These are our headlines...

Tours of Britain reach the end after Sweetspot mainstays retire: The breaking news is that Mick Bennett and Hugh Roberts, promoters of the men’s and women’s Tour of Britain, are to retire. We reveal what's known so far, discuss what it could mean for UK cycling and whether the British Cycling federation has a new strategy for the country's two national tours.

Tadej Pogačar talks Giro d'Italia and Tour de France: We hear from the peloton's most multi-talented and exciting racer as he reveals his plans for a Giro debut and his hopes that he can follow success in Italy with a third victory in the Tour de France. We also talk pizza toppings with Pogi, who reveals a taste for the exotic – kiwi fruit anyone?

RadioCycling's wrap of the year: Before thinking ahead to the new season, we’re looking at the one we’re leaving behind and picking out a few of our highlights, featuring our Ukraine special, Sylvan Adams on Chris Froome, a tribute to Gino Mäder, the One Cycling saga, and the Pinot Ultras on their passion for Thibaut.

We've now got another highlight too as RadioCycling has just been shortlisted for Best Sports Talk Podcast 2023!! You can vote for us (and we'd be extremely grateful if you would) at sportspodcastgroup.com, just look for RadioCycling under the ‘best sports talk podcast’ category.
