Podcast 8 Oct 15: Tracing the 2016 Giro d'Italia, Velocio-SRAM's end, Basso's divisive legacy by SBS
This week on the show, racing in Richmond begins with a heap of action across the men’s women’s and junior’s fields. The TTTT’s kicked thing’s off on Sunday, with more chrono action following on Tuesday and Wednesday and we’ll recap all of that, including Vasili Kiryenka’s career milestone win, and yet another medal for that ever-impressive Danish-Kiwi Linda Villumsen. And with the big races to come on the weekend, we’ll look ahead. Just who might and might not win those coveted road race rainbows.
This week on the show, the autumn leaves are falling, the Vuelta’s over and with season 2015 entering its twilight, there’s only a trickle left to talk about. Well. Except for the Road World Championships, starting Sunday in Richmond. A guy called Jack, heading to a team called Trek. An Australian journeyman calls it quits, and what to make of Fabio Aru’s Vuelta victory.
After two hard-fought weeks of racing the Vuelta enters its final four stages and it’s poised to be a battle of three riders. We’ll look at the state of the race and gaze into our very hazy crystal balls to deduce the winner of the 2015 event; recap the action since last week, including a win for a forgotten Schleck, and a bad break for an Australian. Plus have a gander at what’s still to come at the Vuelta, including a cobbled finish in Avila and one final mountain test to Cercedilla.
This week on the show, the Vuelta’s second week of racing sees a Colombian, a Dutchman and an Italian in the race lead, to say nothing of rampaging motos and a rather displeased Peter Sagan. Michael Rogers finally gets his 2004 Olympic medal - only 11 years late - after the IOC finally agreed to re-assign the podium. But is this a satisfying result for the sport, or a job half-done? And Australia announces its teams for the Richmond world championships, with a view to delivering a couple of those so vaunted rainbow jerseys.
This week on the show, from the sandy shenanigans of the Vuelta’s opener to an Italian taking the proverbial piss. It’s been a strange old week in the world of cycling, but aren’t they all? We’ll be wrapping the Vuelta’s first five stages, including Caleb Ewan’s maiden stage victory, ask whether Duncan Gay truly is a bike-lane vandal when we speak to Fairfax journo Michael O’Reilly, ponder the Thomas Kerr case, and some other odds and ends worth wondering about.
This week on the show, there’s action aplenty all across Europe with racing in Poland, Spain, Portugal, and Denmark, which, hopefully, we’ll do our best to wrap up. Matt Brammeier shocks the world as dramatic footage emerges of a horror crash at Utah. Orica-GreenEDGE’s changing of the guard sees the end of a number of team stalwarts, but can Australia’s only WorldTour team fight it out with the big guns of the sport on the smell of an oily rag? And we'll talk that CX incident. You know the one.
This week on the show, a dopey week for Tom Danielson who reveals he’s registered a positive result for synthetic testosterone, but is there more to the story? The Sunday Times reveals some distressing news about the IAAF; and we’ll discuss whether cycling is unfairly demonised amid other sports problems; is the sport doing enough to develop younger talent? AND, how bout this year’s Vuelta, is a Tour 2015 2.0 in the offing?
This week on the show, the Big Lebowski is over for another year, the Tour that is, with Chris Froome the winner. We’ll look at the winners and losers, reflect on this year’s course, and ask is the Brit the best stage racer in the world? On the transfers turnpike, all sorts of big names are weighing their futures, including Mark Cavendish and Vincenzo Nibali, and we’ll discuss their next moves; and after Oleg Tinkov’s latest ramblings we’ll mull the prospect of equalising the sport’s top teams.
With sore heads, droopy eyelids and tempers frayed, we’re down to the final podcast for the Tour de France. It’s episode 7. It’s the Monday after. And we’ve seen a cracking final four stages to close out this 102nd edition of the great race. Chris Froome of course the winner, but, there were oh so many stories, Quintana on the Alpe, a pair of French stars getting their stage delights, and last year’s Tour winner showing his mettle on the brutal finish of La Toussuire.
Be it the rugby style descent off the Col du Manse, Simon Geschke’s beard or Tejay van Garderen’s painful to watch abandoning of the Tour’s 17th stage, we’ve got it all and more in Episode 6 of the SBS Tour de France Cycling Podcast. Thank you for joining us.
Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Michael O'Reilly.
It’s been awhile since last we spoke, four stages no less, with all sorts of shenanigans taking place. MTN-Qhubeka got the win they’d been chasing, and on Mandela Day no less; Sagan kept on missing out on stage wins, but what’s new, and Froome kept on wearing yellow; although, not always the tinge he’d prefer. So there’s that. We’ll be discussing all that and more on today’s show. Plus a new episode of Froomie and Roomie, so buckle in. With Al Hinds, Annabelle Drew and Anthony Tan.
In a revised format for the duration of the Tour de France, Al Hinds, Anthony Tan, Annabelle Drew and Michael O'Reilly discuss everything from the serious to the downright bizarre. Mondays and Thursdays throughout this year's race, proudly supported by SBS.

This week on the show - who exactly is going to win the 2015 Tour de France? A Spaniard, a Colombian, a Brit and an Italian are all in with a shot in what’s thought to be one of the most tightly fought Tours in a generation. And continuing a legacy that’s nearly as old as the Tour itself, we’ll look at the Australians carrying the torch at this year’s Tour and what we can expect from each of them. Plus of course the usual dose of revelry, lengthy monologues, and non-sequiturs.
This week on the show, it’s high time we actually fleshed out what’s in this year’s Tour de France, and so we shall, with a comprehensive looks at the shape of the 102nd Grand Boucle. And, with the ASO and the UCI locking barbs once more we’ll review the tensions behind the two major cycling stakeholders and why ASO is looking to distance itself from reforms currently before the UCI’s management committee.
Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Philip Gomes.
This week's SBS Cycling Podcast goes deep on the Dauphine, welcomes back Anthony Tan, and asks what's up with Marcel Kittel. And more.
This week on the show, Bradley Wiggins delivers a stunning hour record attempt in London, breaking the 54km mark for the first time since the Hour has been re-invented, but could he have gone faster, and was it a legal attempt? The Criterium du Dauphine, that classic Tour degustation that gets us in the mood for July is underway and we’ll wrap the action so far. And closer to home, we’ll look at some racing in the UCI’s Asian Tour at the Tour de Korea.
Kath Bicknell speaks to Katie Sue Gruener of Specialized Bikes about their development of bicycles to suit the needs of women riders.
This week on the show it’s lights out at the Giro d’Italia; but what to make of it all with a polarising podium. More broadly is Alberto Contador the greatest ever after collecting Grand Tour number 7, or is that nine, and can he back up at the Tour? Will Wiggins make good on his hour rhetoric or is he set for a rude awakening in London, and goodbye to one of our lesser known but no less hard-working colleagues Sarah van Boheemen.
That’s all this week. Hosted by Al Hinds with Phil Gomes, Rob Arnold and Sarah van Boheemen.
This week on the show, the Giro d'Italia takes a dramatic turn as Fabio Aru explodes on the road to Aprica, and Richie Porte pulls the pin, what to make of sport when the cheats always prosper, and we’ll get dirty as we discuss the weekend’s opening round MTB action at the Nove Mesto World Cup.
Hosted by Al Hinds with Phil Gomes and Kath Bicknell.
This week on the show, it’s week two at the Giro d’Italia, and what a week it was.. An amateur photographer brought down the peloton in Catiglione della Pescala leaving Danielle Colli a sickening sight, and the rulebook was thrown at Simon Clarke and Richie Porte for a wheel change. Plus, we’ll wrap up the Amgen Tour of California, where an unlikely Slovak pulled off quite the coup. And wonder whether ‘-gate’ is an overused suffix.
Hosted by Al Hinds, with Phil Gomes, and Ride Media’s Rob Arnold.
Mark Renshaw spoke to Cycling Central at the end of the Tour of California where he delivered Mark Cavendish to four stage victories.
This week on the show, it’s go-go at the Giro with a frenetic opening five stages and no shortage of action. The Amgen Tour of California is in full swing, notwithstanding an absence of any big American names, but with Mount Baldy just a few days away it’s nicely poised, and well, we end back in Italy, as week assess the next five stages of racing.
Hosted by Al Hinds, with Rob Arnold and Philip Gomes.
This week on the show we’ll wrap up the Tours of Romandie and Turkey, hail the new world hour record holder, Alex Dowsett, and with the Giro d'Italia looming we’ll put our money where our mouths are as we preview the race.
This week on the Cycling Central Podcast the team wraps up the action from Liege-Bastogne-Liege and asks whether Alejandro Valverde is still a divisive winner, discuss the apparent 'bike-motor' problem in the peloton, and with Davide Rebellin leading the Tour of Turkey we poke some fun. That's all in this week's show, with Al Hinds, Rob Arnold, and Philip Gomes.
This week on the show, we keep an eye on the Ardennes wrapping Sunday’s Amstel Gold Race, Wednesday at Fleche Wallone and preview the big one, Liege-Bastongne-Liege. As the Giro approaches we pore over the form of Richie Porte as he tackles the Giro del Trentino and considering the T-Dawg will be away en vacances for the next six weeks, we’ll speak to Anthony about his career covering cycling.
Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Rob Arnold.
This week on the show, the cobbled season comes to a close at Paris-Roubaix where Giant-Alpecin’s John Degenkolb collected the first MSR-Roubaix double since the days of Sean Kelly, we’ll also be talking train timetabling; in tech news, the UCI has unveiled plans to ‘explore’ the possibility to institute disc brakes in the road cycling peloton, we’ll discuss their possible merits, and just as the cobbles are behind us, the Ardennes are still ahead. Amstel Gold is on this Sunday and we’ll preview the race. Hosted by Al Hinds, with Anthony Tan and Rob Arnold.

This week on the show, we wrap de Ronde, the first time a Norwegian has stood atop the podium in Flanders; breakdown three avoidable, and positively dumb incidents at the Ronde and Pais Vasco, and finally it’s Paris-Roubaix time, the cobbled monster finale to the classics, this Sunday. Finally, and going full circle, we ponder, who can beat the unstoppable force that is Alexander Kristoff, perhaps, Bradley Wiggins?
This week on the show, we answer the question is it April already with an emphatic, but considered, yes. We wish you happy Easter! (If you’re into that kind of thing).... And we talk about cycling. Gent-Wevelgem, Astana’s WorldTour quandary and looking ahead we preview the Ronde van Vlaanderen.
This week on the Cycling Central Podcast we talk Milan-San Remo and Johnny Degenkolb, the battle of wills and ways that is Bjarne Riis and Oleg Tinkov, and as the Volta a Catalunya rages on, we talk about a guy we don't talk much about. Hosted by Al Hinds with Anthony Tan, Rob Arnold, and Philip Gomes.
This week on the show, we’re under a directive to talk all things racing and so we shall. We’ll wrap up Paris-Nice, Richie Porte’s second time on the top step of the race to the sun. Further south than not-so sunny Nice, in Tirreno-Adriatico, Quintana shrugged off a wild day on Terminillo to vanquish his rivals and tick another box in his bloated palmares, we’ll review the racing there; and ahead of the first monument of the season, Milan-San Remo we’ll all look into our crystal balls to try and unearth a likely winner.
This week on the show, Tom Boonen goes down in Paris-Nice which means classics season over, and potentially advantage Fabz; the CIRC'us is in town, Cycling’s Independent Commission that is, but what does any of it really mean?; We’ll take a peek at Paris-Nice’s current state of affairs, have a gander at what’s to come at Tirreno, and pay homage to the fallen, Melbourne cyclist Alberto Paulon.

This week on the show, has hell frozen over or has the UCI finally grown some balls? With the UCI examining the future of Astana’s WorldTour license the Kazakh squad is in very hot water but will it matter, we’re back on the cobbles after the longest of times, but what’s up with Etixx-Quickstep, and looking ahead at the Race to the Sun, with our preview of Paris-Nice.
This week on the show, the E3-Harlebeke is a little bit naughty and gets a reprimand from the UCI, Bert and Froome battle for top-dog status in Spain, Thomas Dekker rides the Hour but falls short even while on Pajote, and are we unfair on MAMILs?
Hosted by Al Hinds, with Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan, and Ride Media’s Rob Arnold.
BMC's Tejay van Garderen describes the events which led to the cancellation of the fifth stage of the Tour of Oman - Audio courtesy of Team BMC.

Hosted by Al Hinds, with Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan, and Ride Media’s Rob Arnold.
This week on the show, the world has a new fastest man, on a highly specific bike, for a pre-determined time period, in finely controlled conditions. Yes it’s the Hour, Rohan’s Hour that is. The Sun Tour, Australia’s oldest stage race wrapped up over the weekend and we’ll muse on how Cameron Meyer rode to the big V, and keeping things in Australia - apologies in advance to our international listeners - we’ll be speaking to CyclingTips Edtior Matt de Neef on an article he published this week about Drapac.

This week on the show - it’s literally the final last hurrah farewell thingo for Cadel with the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race. God that’s a mouthful. The Sun Tour is on. There’s people racing in the desert, and we’ve got another hour to talk about. The Hour Record that is. With Al Hinds, Rob Arnold, Philip Gomes and sadly, no Tan man. It’s the Cycling Central Podcast.
We’re geed. This week on the show, it’s the endgame for Evans, as Australia’s only Tour winning, dog protector, from Barwon heads calls time on his career. Dennis defends Porte’s punches Ali-Foreman style on Old Willunga to win the Tour Down Under, UniSA shines bright under the unusually cool Adelaide summer sun, and - on that note- Jacky Bobby - Bobridge that is, readies to ride his bike for 60 minutes.
Presented by Al Hinds, with Philip Gomes, Anthony Tan, and Rob Arnold.
This week we’ll discuss Australia’s road national championships, with wins from Heinrich Haussler and Peta Mullens in the road races, we’ll chat the Santos Tour Down Under, a race Tom Southam describes as the season’s alarm clock, and there will be plenty of our normal, run of the mill revelry.

Avanti Racing's Brenton Jones extended his Tour of the Murray River lead after the third stage.
A stage win by Avanti Racing Team rider Brenton Jones gave him the lead at the Tour of the Murray River.
Nine more sleeps. Nine more sleeps till Le Tour begins, and shuteye becomes a distant memory.
Anthony Tan wanted to talk about the 2014 Vuelta a España, but found himself besieged by host Al Hinds, Phil Gomes and Rob Arnold, he of the RIDE Cycling Review cycling empire. (Other than the behemoth that is Cycling Central, of course.)
Taking a leaf of the Team Sky handbook, the quartet methodically work their way through the five chapters of this year's Grande Boucle - beginning with the UK experience, moving onto the Vosges, then the Alps, the Pyrenees, and, a day before Paris, the Bergerac time trial, the only timed test of the 2014 Tour.
Next, we talk of the five main contenders - Chris Froome, Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali, Alejandro Valverde, and Tejay van Garderen - otherwise known as Froome-dog, Bert-dog, Nibble-dog, Piti-dog, and Gard-dog - and vacillate on just who will be the Top Dog come 27 July.
When it comes to picking a winner it's split 2-2 - but you'll have to listen to discover who they are and which way the pod quartet go. (You may be surprised.)
The green jersey also gets a mention, though it is brief.
Because combined, Peter 'Tourminator' Sagan's speed and versatility, not to mention the points structure of the competition, make the Slovak's quest for a third maillot vert a near forgone conclusion.
If the Critérium du Dauphiné is an experiment for the Tour, then July will be a roaring success.
But with so much more to lose, will we see B1 and B2 - that being bravado and bravura - play like they did at the Dauphiné?
It's up for debate by Al Hinds, Anthony Tan and RIDE Cycling Review’s Rob Arnold in this week's Cycling Central podcast.
The trio gauge the form of the GC riders, potential chinks in Sky's armour, and Dauphiné winner Andrew Talansky overtaking Tejay van Garderen as American cycling's Next Big Thing.
What to make of Belkin's premature exit from cycling?
The old adage 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it' surely does not apply to professional cycling - the system is completely broken!
Is cycling a good investment, or do you still need two million to make a million from the sport?
And what ado about TUEs, or Therapeutic Use Exemptions?
Defending Tour champ Chris Froome hurryingly applied for one just prior to the Tour de Romandie, before winning said event.
Given the culture of suspicion still within cycling, shouldn't TUEs be applied for and approved/disapproved prior to the start of each season, and subsequent to that, if you do fall ill, you either man up or take the bench?
Are recent events at the Critérium du Dauphiné a sign of things to come in July, or are Alberto Contador, Vincenzo Nibali and Tejay van Garderen keeping their cards close to their chest?
That’s the question Al Hinds, Anthony Tan and RIDE Cycling Review’s Rob Arnold, back after finishing off his twelfth official Tour de France guide, first ask themselves in this week’s Cycling Central podcast.
From what we saw in the opening time trial and first mountain top finish, it appears the defending champ Chris Froome is so confident he doth not need team-mates…
Well, not Bradley Wiggins, anyway. Or maybe he’s riding that way to tell his boss Dave Brailsford that he doesn’t need a former Tour winner by his side to repeat his feat of yesteryear.
Logic says you would absolutely want a guy like Wiggo – back to his 2012 best, says the Kid from Kilburn. Yet logic doesn’t seem to be part of the conversation at Team Sky when it comes to his selection.
We talk about that, too.
Something not on every Aussie cycling fan’s lips, however, is the National Road Series.
Sadly, unless there is nothing else on, our domestic road calendar is all but forgotten.
In a blog this week, Alex says it should be a summer thing and Rob tends to agree. But if it was, Tanny thinks it would curtail a prospective rider’s ability to score a Pro Conti or WorldTour contract since teams don’t look for new blood in March or April.
Glad the Giro's over, or are you like Garmin-Sharp's Ryder Hesjedal, whose sport director Charly Wegelius said that if there was a fourth week, he'd probably be in pink?
(Never mind the fact that the Canadian lost 5'39 to Nairo Quintana in the Cima Grappa time trial and the next day to Zoncolan, ceded three-and-a-half minutes more to the Colombian.)
Whatever!
By almost all accounts, the 97th edition of La Corsa Rosa provided a spectacular three weeks' racing - and perhaps best of all, it looked like one that, 5, 10, 20, or 100 years from now, won't ask to be rewritten.
The Inimitables - that being host Al Hinds, together with Phil Gomes and Anthony Tan - recap the first Grand Tour of the year with typical aplomb, unscripted and uncensored.
From looking back to gazing forward, the trio then get stuck into the Tour Contenders' pre-Tour warm-up, also known as the Critérium du Dauphiné.
This year - and by the way folks, it starts this Sunday! - it plays host to a veritable selection of TdF favs - Froome, Contador, Nibali, van Garderen. La Grande Boucle is still a month away, so will the aforementioned their legs on the card table, play down (or up, if they're creeping) their form, or target a stage in which to test themselves?
To complete proceedings, the Hour Record gets a(nother) run. Ho hum.
Recent changes by the genuises at the UCI tech committee mean Hour aspirants no longer need use a conventional bike. Yet it seems to have turned its only protagonist, Fabian Cancellara off, who wanted to go 'old-school'.
BMC's Cadel Evans speaks of his performance on the Stage 19 26km uphill individual time trial which saw him move from ninth to seventh on the general classification.
Cadel Evans speaks after Stage 18 of the Giro d'Italia which saw him slip from third to ninth overall.
On this week's Podcast the quartet of Al Hinds, Anthony Tan, Dave Mckenzie and Matt Keenan discuss the week that was, 'Stelvio-gate', Colombia's ongoing renaissance, and how the GC will be decided on the Giro's final arduous journey through the high mountains.
Australian XCO champion Daniel McConnell worked his way to a 4th place overall at the UCI MTB World Cup in Nove Mesto na Morave, Czech Republic.

BMC's Cadel Evans lost the race lead to Rogoberto Uran of Omega Pharma-QuickStep after the Stage 12 time trial.
To pay homage to La Corsa Rosa, we have decided to conduct this week's podcast 'in Italiano'.
Yes, that's right, all of it. Inglese is out, Italiano in.
Joking.
How could we do that when the Australians are taking the Giro by storm?
Actually, they're not just taking the Giro by the scruff of the neck. Rohan Dennis was killin' it in Cali, and Drapac has been doing the biz at the tours of Azerbaidjan and Japan.
Should we be surprised, or is this the new norm in one of two truly globalised sports?
The podcast quartet - that being Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan, Matt Keenan and Dave McKenzie - also speculate on who Orica-GreenEDGE sport director Matt White has his eagle eye on, after he let it out that the team intends to sign a Grand Tour contender before too long.
Dennis? Bradley Wiggins? Cadel Evans? Someone else?
Of course, they wonder what may happen in the first of two individual time trials in this year's Giro, and the back-to-back stages in the Italian Alps this weekend.
As for the language used by certain media outlets that at times appears to be a de-facto anti-bike lobby, which vacillates from the profane to the insane - what to do about it?
The latest edition of the Cycling Central Podcast, where we're joined by special guests Matt Keenan and Dave Mckenzie to talk the week that was. Regular Anthony Tan returns, with Al Hinds hosting. The focus this week is the Giro d'Italia, but after the phenomenal response to Matt Keenan's midweek blog on cycling in Sydney we talk cycle safety and we end in sunny California talking Wiggo-Dennis.
Benvenuti al Giro!
This week’s podcast is all about the hardest, most storied, most climb-heavy, most sadistic, but perhaps most importantly, most impassioned, Grand Tour of all: the Giro d’Italia.
Hosted by Mike Tomalaris, a guy who looks Italian but is in fact a Australian-born Greek whose parents were born in Romania; and ably supported by Al Hinds, a guy who appears your archetypal Australian but could pass for Italian if his eyebrows were a bit closer together and who has one Greek grandmother, as well as Anthony Tan, an Australian-born Chinese Italophile fluent in la lingua Italiana, the motley trio first get stuck in to the thirteen Australians down to race the 97th edition of ‘La Corsa Rosa’.
Orica-GreenEDGE taking out the Belfast team time trial and putting their Italian champion Ivan Santaromita into pink. Michael Matthews nabbing the next road stage, taking the maglia rosa himself. On stage five, the first hilltop finish to Viggiano, Bling then passes pink to Pieter Weening after the Dutchman finishes in the top three.
And all entirely possible.
They should have talked about il percorso first but Tomo, the OGE patriot he is, went off-topic so dissecting the course gets second billing. By analysing the key stages and key climbs, they unlock the door to overall victory.
And, of course, they talk up the contenders: Evans, Rodriguez, Quintana, Uran, Pozzovivo, Martin, Roche… A one-horse race this Giro is not.
