Summary

In this week’s regular episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel and Lionel are joined by Team Jayco-AlUla Director of High Performance and Racing Matt White to reflect on the UCI ‘Superworlds’, Jayco’s Tour de France and the start of cycling’s transfer window - and look ahead to the Vuelta a España.

Before that, we recap a busy week of news, including the announcement that former British Cycling and Team Sky doctor Richard Freeman has been handed a four-year ban for possession of a banned substance and twice lying to UK Anti-Doping investigators. We ask the question - are some or even all of successes amassed on Freeman’s watch now tarnished?

0:00.0	Hello and joining you on the 18th birthday of Robert De Niro, star of the dear hunter,
0:24.2	the godfather part, two raising bull taxi driver, silver lining's playbook and a multitude
0:29.0	of other silver screen classics, also speaking of other virtuoso acting performances by American
0:36.4	lead males welcoming you on the 25th anniversary of Bill Clinton infamously telling a grand
0:41.9	jury about his in his words in proper physical relationship with his intern Monica Lewinsky.
0:48.3	My name is Daniel Friba, I'm the co-host of this week's episode of the cycling podcast,
0:52.4	which I'll be engaging in an entirely appropriate non-physical relationship with my running
0:56.7	mate Lionel Bernie and also a bit later welcoming a good fella who will hopefully play the
1:02.7	Robert De Niro to my Ray Leotter and Lionel's Joe Pesci. Wow, convoluted, convoluted that
1:11.5	down here, yeah very well. It's like you're grieved to be cast as Joe Pesci in this pantomime
1:17.5	of a podcast. The angry one on the hair trigger, so I mean I don't know, maybe it's type
1:23.9	casting, who knows Lionel, what's been going on last week? What has been going on? Well,
1:29.1	the last week is just a cue for the news roundup, which could be bumping, not so sure. These
1:36.6	were the social platitudes that we traditionally engage in before the news roundup. I kind of feel
1:41.0	all at sea really. The world championships is over, the Vuelter is still to come. We're in a very
1:47.1	odd week of well four stage races all running concurrently. I just don't know what to watch and
1:53.7	when to watch it, how to plan my afternoon. There needs to be some kind of thought go into this.
1:59.1	If we're going to have so many races all taking place at once, there needs to be some kind of
2:02.9	context. Maybe there needs to be a sort of an overall classification of some kind, a subjective.
2:08.9	I've been watching the cycle ball and the artistic cycling from the World Championships at
2:13.6	cycle ball, pretty easy to tell who wins. It's a team that scores the most goals. But the artistic
