Cycling Legends Podcast

• Feed Zone 25-24

  Just to prove that it’s not just good things that you can have too much of, an impromptu Feed Zone takes to the ether barely a week after the last one. A new points system from the UCI, Wout Van Aert and news from Simpson Nouvelles Cycling are but three of the topics on the agenda as we try (and fail) to keep to time.Plus, get your nominations in for your favourites of the year. What was your cycling moment of 2025? Who was your hero, villain, favourite race, whatever? Drop us a line at [email protected] and we’ll throw it in the mix in our Christmas Special on 21 December!📸 Lucinda Brand’s win at this weekend’s World Cup in Terralba was her 52nd consecutive cyclocross podium, overtaking Marianne Vos’ previous record. But Brand is no slouch on the road either, with no fewer than 28 pro wins on narrow tyres. She’s seen here launching the attack that would earn her the very top spot on Omloop Het Nieuwsblad podium in 2017.

  The pros might now be returning to their training regimes but there’s no off-season for the Feed Zone. Obviously there’s plenty of off-topic but in our more lucid moments we talk about the new American pro team run by George Hincapie and ask whether we should let bygones be bygones or is is “once a doper, always a doper”? We also look forward to seeing Africa’s first UCI women’s team take to the stage in 2026, plus there’s other new team chat, World Cup cyclocross and we raise a glass to pro cycling’s latest newly-weds. Just not as big a glass as Fernando Gaviria apparently does tho’. The new Feed Zone: enjoy responsibly.📸 30 January 1966: the familar sight of Jacques Anquetil and Raymond Poulidor going head to head, but in a most unfamiliar setting at the Fontenay sous Bois cyclocross. The race itself was quite remarkable and not just for having two Tour de France legends competing. First run in 1961, Fontenay sous Bois, near Paris, was an "American-style" ‘cross race with riders competing in pairs, each riding alternate laps. Each team was made up of a cyclocross specialist and a routier, or all-rounder. Paired with Jean Graczyk, it would be Poulidor who prevailed over his great road rival, with Maître Jacques finishing third, riding with Jean Stablinski.

  Lord have mercy! It’s the vice episode! Drugs are back, tell a friend. Or at least biological passport anomalies are back. Is illegal betting the next bad thing for pro cycling? We wouldn’t bet against it (badoom-tsh!). Plus six-day racing, Euro cyclocross and recommendations to generally make your life better.📸 The end of the road season historically meant the end of regular earnings for a few months, so many riders headed to the velodrome and the lucrative six-day circuit. Patrick Sercu was the greatest six-day rider of all time, winning no fewer than 88 times in a track career that spanned 3 decades and saw him amass over 1000 victories on the boards. These also included an Olympic gold in Tokyo in 1964 and 2 professional World Championships in 1967 and 1969. Sercu was no slouch on the road either, winning 6 Tour de France stages (including the Green Jersey in 1974) and 13 stage wins in the Giro d’Italia. Here we see him at the Rotterdam Six in 1976, taking a slingshot from that other rider who was no slouch on the boards, long-term six-day partner and fellow Belgian, Eddy Merckx.
