Summary

The Cycling Podcast Féminin returns just as the Women’s World Tour peloton prepares to tackle three stage races in the space of a couple of months. First up it’s the Women’s Tour in Britain, then the Giro d’Italia Donne and finally, at the end of July, the inaugural Tour de France Femmes. In this episode Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lionel Birnie look ahead to the racing.

Orla speaks to new World Hour Record holder Ellen van Dijk, who broke Joss Lowden’s distance which she set last year. How close – or far away – does the 50km barrier feel now? Lionel catches up with Lizzy Banks to discuss what’s in store for the Women’s Tour and finds it promises to be a much more dynamic battle for the general classification this year because of some tricky stages, not least the uphill finish at Black Mountain in Wales. And Rose speaks to SD Worx rider Ashleigh Moolman Pasio, who will spearhead her team’s challenge at the Women’s Tour in the absence of reigning champion Demi Vollering.

0:31.0	Hello and welcome to the Cycling Podcast Femina. My name is Rose Manley and this month I'm joined by two faces fresh from the duo, fresh faces from the duo definitely.
0:46.0	Alla Chenouille, alla Chenouille from the duo, pulling her least fresh face at me as we speak.
0:53.0	Do you know I can't remember the last time I felt less fresh but we'll go with it anyway to podcast. Nobody needs to know.
0:59.0	No one knows. No one knows. And Lionel Bernie. Hello, fresh is ever rose, fresh is ever rose.
1:05.0	Yes. I skipped the final week of the duo so I'm fresh as a daisy.
1:09.0	Yeah, tell us your, well I was going to get you both to work. I think the key, the big duo moment, the key racing moment for the duo is quite obvious.
1:18.0	But what was your best, what's your best meal? That's the key question.
1:23.0	Oh, we had a really, really good meal in a very pretty little town just across from the straight of Messina the night we came over from Sicily.
1:37.0	The town's name was Silla. I think I'm right in saying the restaurant was spectacular. It was all fresh pasta, seafood, just delicious, lovely small portions but everything really hit the spot.

2:12.0	I did a fake laugh at something Daniel said rock backwards and my sunglasses slipped off my head into the sea.
2:22.0	I'm sorry to say, I know that that was my highlights of podcast coverage. I just find it so amusing.
2:32.0	Such a pain to me. We suffer for our art or all that.
2:36.0	All of what was your best? Obviously you weren't out at the jury, but you could still have your best meal. Can you best meal in bath? I guess.
2:42.0	Yeah, I guess my best meal is probably a good old English Indian. Oh, what is that?
2:46.0	Which is what I miss when I'm in Amsterdam. A good old British Indian. So I had a few of those.
2:52.0	We did have a few Italian nights as well. Of course, in honour of the Geodotallia. A few pizzas.
