Podcast 6 Feb 2014: Track Nats, Sun Tour, NZ and more

There’s plenty of history being rewritten of late in road cycling circles, but with former Australian Institute of Sport rider Scott McGrory recently demystifying the ‘legend’ that is – or was – Charlie Walsh, the annals of Australian track cycling are also getting a thorough workout.

In this week’s Cycling Central podcast, we – that being Al Hinds, Phil Gomes and Anthony Tan – speak to Jonathan Lovelock, author of ‘The Human Cost Of Gold Medals’, published today on the CyclingTips website, which follows up from the fallout created by McGrory’s nervy but stirring retrospective.

We also get on the blower to Kevin Tabotta, performance director at Cycling Australia, to review the Cyclones’ medal tally-topping haul following the track world championships in Cali, Colombia, and ask what we can expect down the (pun alert!) track (at least we warned you!) as we move inexorably closer to the 2016 Games in Rio.

The 72nd edition of the ‘Race to the Sun’, Paris-Nice, begins this Sunday. With no prologue, no time trial, and no hilltop finish it’s a surprisingly open parcours that could favour a puncheur like Simon Gerrans or Sylvain Chavanel or GC contender like Richie Porte or Tejay van Garderen; the only certainty, it seems, is that the cycling world will be watching.

Aside from Strade Bianche and Roma Maxima also on this weekend there’s the Australian MTB championships – yes, we know, it’s only March and you’re already glued to the couch! – so Al and Tanny defer to the Wisdom of Phil, who guides us through the contenders hoping to book themselves a seat to Glasgow for the upcoming Commonwealth Games.

Ye up for that, laddies and lassies?

If yoos say aye then press ‘play’!


Podcast 6 Mar 2014: Paris-Nice, the Charlie Walsh years, and Track Worlds

Was Flanders the best race you’ve seen so far this season?

They think so.

That’s about the only thing Al Hinds, Phil Gomes, Anthony Tan and RIDE Cycling Review’s Rob Arnold fully agreed upon in this week’s Cycling Central podcast.
w
Certainly, no consensus came over Cound – Michelle, that is, partner of one defending Tour champ – and her tweet that was laced with more innuendo than a Victoria’s Secret nightie.

Tweeteth she: ‘Maybe an “ex” doper can win the tour this year, at least he would be qualified to answer all the doping questions’.

A day later, she tried to backpedal, saying she wasn’t tweeting about you-know-who.

Michelle, honey… It’s a bit hard to backpedal when you’re responsible for a thousand- car pile-up and switched off the airbags!

Red and yellow cards in cycling?

Well, that’s what Belgian cycling president Tom Van Damme is proposing, catching – and penalising – misdemeanours on the fly.

Both football and cycling have Euro-centric roots, but really, could the Belgies think of anything more intractable?

Phil and Al see some merit; Tanny thinks it has about as much efficacy as throwing a wet mattress up a spiral staircase, to borrow a line from John Cleese.

They began the pod with cobbles, and with the Queen of the Classics on this Sunday, so it must end with cobbles.

Yes, Paris-Roubaix is on le week-end, and everyone sans the peloton is praying for mud, glorious mud.

Alas, it’s been a dozen years now since we’ve had a muddy Hell…

Will our dreams come true – but perhaps more importantly, can anyone roadblock the juggernaut that is Fabian Cancellara?

Ms Cound, calling Ms Cound, we may just have found some use for you…

Podcast 10 Apr 2014: A Ripping Ronde, Curious Cound, Red and Yellow?, Roubaix

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.
