With no World Tour teams currently riding Bianchi bicycles, Tom looks at the fascinating history of one of the world's oldest bicycle manufacturer. Not many brands inspire as much passion as Bianchi and so Tom seeks to understand why with the help of design historian and author Charlotte Fiell. He also speaks to Bianchi collectors and fans and learns the true origins of the brand's iconic celeste colour.

S10 Ep67: Service Course | Where's Bianchi?

A Frenchman, the poet Paul Claudel, once opined that “wine is a professor of taste, a liberator of the spirit and an illuminator of intelligence”. Far be it for us to make the same claim of The Cycling Podcast – though we can but try with our coverage of this year’s Grande Boucle, which starts from Copenhagen in Denmark on July 1. 

To enhance your enjoyment – and, who knows, aid your enlightenment – we are once again teaming up with DVine Cellars of London to offer a selection of six wines celebrating the Tour route. As ever, from Alsace to the northern shore of Lac Léman in Switzerland, from the Valley of the Rhône to the Lot, the wines will surprise and hopefully delight.

In this episode, Daniel journeys to DVine Cellars HQ in South London to meet our resident wine guru and case curator, Greg Andrews, and discuss how Greg came up with this year’s selection. 

To order the case itself, head to DVine Cellars.

S10 Ep68: Les crus des flâneurs

Part two of This Slovenian Life opens up on a rainy day in Ljubljana where Primož Roglič is waiting on the top floor of the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce. He'll (very colourfully) convey a few amusing anecdotes from his eventful past and the differences between coming up in ski jumping versus cycling. We then meet some of Slovenian cycling's youngest stars, the juniors racers in Tadej Pogačar's incubator Pogi Team. The Cycling Podcast joins them for two important races – a criterium in Italy and the Slovenian national road championships, one of their biggest tests of the season.

S10 Ep69: This Slovenian Life: part two

Join Lionel Birnie, François Thomazeau and Mitch Docker in Copenhagen for an eve-of-the-Tour de France scene-setter before Friday’s opening time trial.

We ask Mitch if he would have picked Mark Cavendish if he’d been selecting the Quick Step team, we ponder how Tadej Pogačar can be toppled, and ask if Ineos Grenadiers have fashioned their own version of the Bora-Hansgrohe quartet.

Thankfully, we stop short of naming all 176 riders in our preview episode as the speculation threatens to get out of hand.

Join Lionel, François and Mitch for daily coverage of the world’s greatest bike race after the opening time trial on Friday evening.

S10 Ep70: The Tour de France 2022 preview

The long-awaited Grand Départ in Denmark gets underway with Friday's opening time trial and Copenhagen, a city that celebrates the bicycle, has never been more ready.

Danish cycling is enjoying another wave of success with the likes of Mads Pedersen, Jonas Vingegaard, Kasper Asgreen among the ten home riders on the start list.

But, like most cycling stories, the history of Danish cycling is complicated. This two-part episode of Kilometre 0 borrows its title from a brilliant book about Denmark's football team that took the world by storm in the 1980s, and tells the story of the rise, fall and rebirth of Danish cycling.

In this part, Lionel talks to Brian Nygaard, who worked closely with Denmark's only Tour de France champion, Bjarne Riis. Of course, there is a heavy asterisk against Riis's 1996 Tour win because it was fuelled by EPO and came in the middle of the sport's darkest days – although the depths of skulduggery were not truly brought to light until the Festina affair two years later. As CSC team manager Riis was then a key player in the next big doping scandal to blight Tour – the Operacion Puerto blood-doping investigation which forced his team leader Ivan Basso out of the 2006 Tour on the eve of the opening time trial. Brian had a front row seat for that.

S10 Ep71: Kilometre 0 – Danish Dynamite, part one

Join Lionel Birnie, François Thomazeau and Mitch Docker in Copenhagen as they follow the opening stage of the 2022 Tour de France.

The weather forecast was wrong, the time trial result was surprising and this episode features perhaps the biggest edition of Corrections Corner in the history of The Cycling Podcast.

S10 Ep75: Kilometre 0 – Danish Dynamite, part two

This episode of Kilometre 0 is one of the last things Richard Moore recorded for The Cycling Podcast before he died unexpectedly at the end of March.

One day Richard noticed a couple of significant names on the start list for the Grand Prix Denain. It's not a particularly big race but this year it offered Primož Roglič, Jonas Vingegaard and a few other Tour de France hopefuls a chance to experience the cobbles in competition before the Tour's own date with the pavé.

Richard called Lionel when he spotted Roglič's name on the start list and said, 'It'll make a great episode of Kilometre 0.'

And so, here it is, the story of Jumbo-Visma's dry run on the cobbles at the Grand Prix Denain back in the spring.

S10 Ep77: Kilometre 0 – Rog's cobbles rehearsal

In this episode, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe are reunited to discuss a vintage Tour de France.

Every year, Daniel gives the Tour de France a rating of one to five wine glasses according to how good the race has been. The precise formula is, as you'd expect, a closely guarded secret but in this episode Daniel explains his mark for the 2022 Tour.

We look back at the battle between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar and ask whether it is the beginning of a long-running rivalry or whether the Slovenian will be back on top next year. We discuss why the racing was so intense – was it just the Wout van Aert factor or was there more to it? And while it was a classic edition of the race, we talk about why the Tour still lags behind the Giro in an aesthetic sense.
