  • An insider cycling podcast that has humor and heart

    Edit: I am updating this review almost a year later and I still adore it! I laugh so hard and I learn so much! I love these people so much.

    This podcast has heart. I’m a listener from the US who found the pod after hearing Matilda Reynolds as a guest on another podcast earlier this year. It’s great to get insight into both men’s and women’s cycling on one pod and feel the enthusiasm for cycling in Australia. I’m already talking to my husband about coming out for the Tour Down Under!

    Sorry, this is my last episode. I get that you all have your own opinions and you don’t have to be unbiased in a podcast, but I’m looking for overall overseas knowledge with more diplomacy, Matilda.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Harry Leask: From Olympic Silver to America’s Cup Suffering
Q: What's the view on national championships and potential citizenship changes for Australia?
There's interest in pursuing national time trials and possibly switching eligibility if needed, as it could open doors to wear the national jersey, though it's expensive and requires coordinating tests, equipment, and timing.
Harry Leask: From Olympic Silver to America’s Cup Suffering
Q: What does the crew do for preparation and heat management in the sailing box?
We do a lot of heat training and mostly train on static bikes to simulate the physical demands, because the actual boat environment requires adaptation; we gradually integrated into the sailing aspect while maintaining a strong cycling base when possible.
Harry Leask: From Olympic Silver to America’s Cup Suffering
Q: What was the process like transitioning from rowing to INEOS Britannia and the America's Cup?
I connected with an ex-rower who was already in the team, did initial trials on the bike, and after proving I could perform, I joined the program and eventually transitioned my training focus from rowing to sailing, eventually earning a contract while still in the process.
Harry Leask: From Olympic Silver to America’s Cup Suffering
Q: Harry, how did you end up on the foreshore of Australia's most famous cycling road here in Melbourne?
I followed a path where my partner's decision to move to Australia offered better weather and a lifestyle, and cycling fit naturally with that move, leading me from rowing into sailing and now focusing again on cycling here in Melbourne.
The Giro D'Italia with Josie Talbot
Q: Do you feel the level in racing is getting higher each year, and how does that affect training and selection?
Josie confirms increasing performance levels across teams, noting higher standards, volume, and the need to balance VO2 work with recovery.
