The Rouleur Podcast

In this edition, we look forward to this year's Rouleur Classic event and revisit some of the highlights from last year - including Eddy Merckx, Fabian Cancellara and, of course, Kenny Van Vlaminck. Plus the results of the competition from Podcast 65 and your chance to win your own Maglia Rosa. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Chris Juul-Jensen of Orica-Bike Exchange joins Ian Parkinson to talk literature, the frustrations of social media and the strange life of the pro-bike racer. Plus the results of the Podcast 63 competition and your chance to win a Tour De France roadbook, the "bible" of the world's greatest bike race. (THIS PODCAST INCLUDES SOME STRONG LANGUAGE) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A Tour de France special for Issue 63 and, appropriately, two of the guests have worn the Maillot Jaune. Chris Boardman, David Millar and Ned Boulting join presenter Ian Parkinson to talk about the art of TV commentary, the Giro and, of course, the Tour. David Millar explains how Peter Sagan "defies the laws of physics" on a bike, Chris Boardman talks about the "compassionate ruthlessness" at the heart of the Medal Factory, and Ned Boulting reminisces about the time he met Davros the Dalek. Plus the latest Rouleur Competition. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a Giro d'Italia special this month, as presenter Ian Parkinson meets cycling legend Stephen Roche - winner of the Giro, Tour De France and World Championships in one memorable year. He talks about the famous duel in the 1987 Giro with teammate Roberto Visentini, which led to the "tifosi" turning against him and him fearing for his life. He also talks about THAT Phil Liggett commentary from the 1987 Tour De France. Yes, it's Roche, it really is Stephen Roche. Plus, Rouleur Editor Ian Cleverly has the Rouleur competition and looks suitably horrified at the other Ian's awful Italian accent. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Presenter Ian Parkinson pays a flying visit to the spiritual home of road cycling to meet the legendary "Lion of Flanders" Johan Museeuw. What does it mean to be a true Flandrien? Why is this small part of a small country so central to the history of bike racing? How do you ride steep cobbled hills? Lots of questions, and quite a few answers. Plus the Rouleur competition. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rouleur managing editor Andy McGrath joins presenter Ian Parkinson for a look at the strange world of the pre-season training camp. Featuring interviews with Sean "King" Kelly, and Liv-Plantur riders Molly Weaver and Leah Kirchmann. Plus, a tribute to Fabian Cancellara in his last season as a pro and the Rouleur competition. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Presenter Ian Parkinson and Rouleur Editor Ian Cleverly meet one of the most innovative and interesting of the new breed of bike manufacturers - Bob Parlee. Find out why he thinks carbon fibre, not steel, requires true craftsmanship, and why he's sceptical about "aero" shapes. Plus oyster farming, ski boots and boat design. And the return of the Podcast Competition. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The podcast comes from the Rouleur Classic, a three-day bike show like no other bike show. Presenter Ian Parkinson speaks to Eddy Merckx, Lizzie Armitstead, David Millar, Fabian Cancellara, Chris Boardman, Mario Cipollini and British cycling legend Malcolm Elliott. He also has an unfortunate encounter in a car park with Kenny Van Vlaminck and the Top Bonk-Schleppers team bus. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jack Thurston says farewell and ITV Cycling's Ned Boulting joins new host Ian Parkinson and Rouleur Editor Ian Cleverly to discuss the contents of Issue 57, and anything else that comes to their minds - including this year's Tour De France, Matt Rendell's stylish "doorstepping" of French national treasure Laurent Jalabert, the legend of Sean Kelly and why the humble musette needs a 21st century makeover. Or not, depending on who you listen to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
