The €18million question
Season 9, Episode 193, Oct 28, 2021, 06:58 PM
In this episode, Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe discuss some of the latest stories from the world of professional cycling. After saving the team at the last minute a year ago, is this the end of the road for the Qhubeka-NextHash World Tour team? What’s behind the latest shake-up at Movistar, and does Tiesj Benoot really want out of Team DSM? And if he leaves, where might he end up?
In part two, we discuss Ineos Grenadiers. Geraint Thomas appears to be staying for another year, there are changes in the coaching and management department with Tim Kerrison leaving after 12 years and Roger Hammond considering an offer to join. And could one of the team’s brightest young stars be lured away by another team?
Finally, we discuss two doping stories. We’ll try to make sense of the WADA report into British Cycling running a private testing programme for nandrolone a decade ago in the run-up to the 2012 Olympics, and get to the bottom of the substance found in some Bahrain-Victorious riders’ hair samples.
Plus, which men’s World Tour rider had the most race days in 2021 – and how far towards the moon would that have taken him?
