Cycling Legends Podcast

After a month spent following the racing around France, The Feed Zone is back. David has a shiny new laptop, the Vuelta is underway, the transfer market is bubbling nicely, and there’s plenty to discuss from the Tour of Britain Women. We also reflect on the tragic death of Fin Tarling and the wider questions it raises about rider safety.

📸 Monaco 2026 marked La Vuelta’s seventh start outside Spain - and its third in succession. The first came in Lisbon in 1997. Alex Zülle is pictured placing fourth in the stage 9 Córdoba time trial that year, enough to take the race lead and carry it all the way to Madrid. (Graham Watson/Getty)

From Boels-Dolmans to SD Worx-Protime, this is the story of the women’s cycling super-team that rewrote the rules of dominance. On the eve of the 2026 Tour de France Femmes, we trace the roots, riders, rivalries and rainbow jerseys behind a squad that shaped the modern era — from Lizzie Deignan, Anna van der Breggen and Chantal Blaak to Demi Vollering, Lorena Wiebes and Lotte Kopecky.

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened. Or something. What did happen? Time trial, a double helping of Alpe d'Huez and one final Parisian flourish over Montmartre.

The team picks over a decisive final week of this year's race. Who were the big winners (yes, apart from the one in the yellow jumper)? Who surprised us? And just how will this edition be remembered?

Let’s do it all again next year, huh?
