This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will are joined by bike design visionary Dimitris Katsanis. Dimitris worked alongside Chris Boardman in the Secret Squirrel Club, creating the pioneering bikes and kit that helped Team GB dominate the London 2012 Olympics. Ever wondered where the term ‘marginal gains’ came from? Yep, Dimitris and his colleagues, whose work at the time was so secret not even his boss, one Dave Brailsford, was allowed to know. Across a career spanning three decades and counting, Dimitris has had a hand in winning over 100 gold Olympic and World cycling medals, and right now his components and creations can be seen on four national teams’ Olympic bikes (though he won’t say which ones). Today he runs his own company, Metron A.E, which 3D-prints cutting edge parts for sport, aerospace and the medical industry. He also 3D-printed Fillipo Ganna’s Hour record Pinarello Bolide F. The entire bike. This is a man who has a story about everyone from Wiggins to Ganna, and who can explain aerodynamic drag with just his hands. So pop the kettle on or jump on the turbo, and prepare to be enlightened. 0:00 Introduction 8:05 Interview with Dimitris Katsanis 1:21:34 Discussion between Will and James Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
Bradley Wiggins, winner of the 2012 Tour de France, discusses his sporting idols growing up. He describes the likes of Paul Gascoigne and Shane Warne, and how he saw inspiration in their transcendent personality and relatability. 'There's no personality in sport these days,' Wiggins told Cyclist as he lamented the lack of reliability between the general public and elite athletes nowadays.

This week James is Fran Millar, possibly the most influential woman in British cycling. Today Fran is CEO at Rapha, but her long CV includes managing Geraint Thomas and Mark Cavendish; a decade at Team Sky/Ineos, in which she became ‘head of winning behaviours’; operations director for Eliud Kipchoge’s sub-2hr marathon record; and then CEO at clothing brand Belstaff. She is also David Millar’s sister, but really that’s just a footnote to a fascinating career. In this episode, Fran talks candidly about the problems at Rapha – and why they will solve them; life working alongside Dave Brailsford at Sky, including developing and propagating their famous winning mentality; what went wrong at Ineos Grenadiers (and it’s not what you might think); what it’s like having David Millar as a brother; and whether TNT’s new TV cycling deal is about to kill British cycling.

This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will are joined by Peter Sagan. When Sagan burst onto the scene in the early 2010s he was heralded as the greatest talent of his generation, and so he proved to be. 121 professional victories later he’d notched up three World Championships, seven Tour de France green jerseys, multiple Grand Tour stages and national titles plus a Tour of Flanders and a Paris-Roubaix cobble. Famed for his dry wit, flamboyant riding style and antics on and off the bike – from wheelies to running man celebrations – Sagan became cycling’s poster boy for the better part of his 15 year career. Now retired, Sagan reflects on a life at the top, from the heady highs to the soul-searching lows; explains the importance of team dynamics; gives us his thoughts on today’s riders; and opens up about a recently discovered heart condition that could have ended his life and has ended up costing him any further professional racing career. 0:00 Introduction 2:40 Life in retirement 9:45 Cycling today and the Pogacar-Vingegaard rivalry 12:28 Life as 'The Next Eddy Merckx' 21:51 The highs and lows of professional racing 33:50 Slovak star from humble beginnings 36:20 Heart condition 46:36 Afterthoughts Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
In this week’s episode of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, Robyn and James are joined by Connie Carpenter-Phinney, who is 1984 became the first ever Olympic Women’s Road Race gold medal winner. Connie charts her career from 14 year-old winter Olympic speed skater to champion road cyclist, a sporting career which saw her win multiple national titles and dominate races such as the Coors Classic. Married to fellow American cyclist Davis Phinney, mother to ex-pro Taylor Phinney and mother-in-law to reigning Tour de France Femmes champ, Kasia Niewiadoma (Taylor’s wife), though Connie has long since retired she’s still very close to cycling, and here contrasts her experiences competing in 1980s with life on two wheels now, from her near non-existent racing budget to building her own wheels, burning out after the Olympics and watching her son race, including witnessing the horror crash that nearly cost him his life. An irrepressible spirit, Connie has no sporting regrets, and today puts her energy into the charity she founded after husband Davis was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s. The Davis Phinney Foundation aims to raise awareness, money, and crucially to provide support and resources to those living with, and caring for, people with Parkinson’s. 0:00 SloVelo Escapes 1:37 Introduction 3:00 Interview with Connie Carpenter-Phinney 1:09:14 Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
