Summary
We hear from Charlotte Kool who caused a major upset in taking two stage wins over former teammate and sprinting superstar Lorena Wiebes at the UAE Tour. She tells us what it is like taking on the mantle of leadership in one of the world’s best sprinting teams and going head-to-head against a rider you used to lead out.
Newly crowned U23 cyclo-cross world champion Shirin van Anrooij talks to Orla about life at Trek-Segafredo and about enjoying some time off the bike before the Ardennes Classics.
Plus we discuss all the main headlines to come out of Setmana Valenciana and the UAE Tour, including the rejuvenation of Ashleigh Moolman and the polemic surrounding Elisa Longo-Borghini’s win on Jebel Hafeet.

| 0:36.0 | This Husky voice is Rosemannie Still, you haven't actually turned in. |
| 0:40.0 | Tuned in to like a late night jazz show, so it's lucky that I'm with two of the most talkative people in cycling. |
| 0:48.0 | To do the heavy lifting, all the Chenery and Lizzie Banks. Hello, how are you both? |
| 0:53.0 | Hello, hello. |
| 0:56.0 | Oh, Lizzie, you got silent. Oh, you crawl. |
| 0:58.0 | Well, no, no, I'm sorry. |

| 1:26.0 | Because we were just in talking. |
| 1:28.0 | We're too busy catching up. That's why. |
| 1:30.0 | Okay, Lizzie, come on. Tell us how you been. What you've been up to. |
| 1:33.0 | I'd be pretty good, actually. |
| 1:35.0 | I've been in Gerona, actually, for a week at a very secret event, which I will reel all on next week's service course podcast. |
