  • Episode 7 - Looking Back, Looking Forward
    Sep 27 2020
    We reflect on an incredible Tour de France 2020 - a race that had just about everything; thrills and spills aplenty, shock stage wins, a fierce battle for the green jersey and the yellow jersey changed hands in the final mountain time trial. BORA-hansgrohe came to the Tour with ambitions for the yellow and green jerseys and fell just short. We focus on key stages of the Tour for the team, bringing you both commentary and rider interviews. We are also delighted to welcome former British national champion Matt Stephens to the podcast to help us mull over the remarkable three weeks we’ve just been treated to!

  • Episode 6 - Mind Over Matter
    Sep 24 2020
    In this episode, we take a step back from the racing and look at an issue that is increasingly important within our society and our sport - mental health. To deliver the very best elite sporting performances, riders must be in top physical shape. But it is also vital to ensure their minds are in good health too. We speak with Max Schachmann, Lennard Kämna, and Peter Sagan about pressure, media scrutiny, and confidence. Team manager Ralph Denk talks about how the team supports the riders and coach Dan Lorang explains how he keeps the riders motivated and focused, despite the extreme pressure of professional cycling. We also hear from team nutritionist Robert Gorgos, who talks about the risk of eating disorders in a sport that demands extreme weight management.

  • Episode 5 - The Finish Line
    Sep 17 2020
    In this episode we look at the build-up to the final three stages, and their impact on the race. It was the most mountainous race in history, and the weather - be it rain or wind - played its part. But this year, there was another factor; as the coronavirus pandemic added layers of tension and drama we have never seen before in the biggest bike race on earth. We will speak to lead-out man Daniel Oss on what it is like to help Peter Sagan fight for another green jersey in the sprints. Plus, we hear from Sagan himself on what it is like to wear the green jersey riding into Paris, and how prestigious a finale it is. We also speak to the riders who reflect on their memories of Paris - the inevitable joy, euphoria, exhaustion, and disappointment as one of the greatest sporting events in the world comes to a close.
