Between here and the third week of July, it's hard to think of a more interesting and exciting week in the sport of professional cycling, to use a classic Sherwenism. The inaugural Women's Tour and the Giro d'Italia are both up for discussion. Is this the start of something big for women's cycling? Can the Giro defy expectations yet again?
After too much coffee and - appropriately enough - a Belgian bun, I rattle though some choice morsels in episode 5 of the eternally delayed and somewhat infrequent Chasing Wheels podcast: Paris-Roubaix, betting, Women's World Cup coverage, Fleche Wallonne coverage, Contador back on form, and Great Britain gets ready to stand by its roadsides.
There's plenty to look forward to in 2014, including the possibility of this podcast happening more than last year. So here's a run down of ten things, in no particular order, that you should be looking forward to in cycling this year.
Track Worlds reviewed; Het Nieuwsblad in brief; RCS starts a revival in Rome; World Series Cycling, will it never go away?; Truth and Reconsiliation, what does it really mean?; The UCI's secret life as a Russian doll; Death on the public highway in Central London - the solutions are obvious.
Farewell Sandro Carrea; Nicole Cooke retires; Wiggle Honda - new teams, great, but what about the infrastructure?; Tour of Qatar - Al-Jazeera runs women's race live, so why is it so difficult for others?; Yet another chance to talk about Lance Armstrong; Parliamentary Inquiry - will it get Britain cycling or put it on the wrong path?
For your listening pleasure: A change of kit for teams and riders, some more significant than others; More races fold, organisers follow the money to Arabia - The Tour of Qatar, more interesting than you think; Armstrong, in brief, very brief; Why I'm excited about MTN-Qhubeka and their Algerian hardman; Commuting, casual riding, whatever - are there more of them out there already?
An interview with David Millar from June 2011 about his book, Racing Through the Dark: The Fall and Rise of David Millar, which charts his career up to his return to the sport after his doping ban. We discuss his own career, doping and what the future holds for cycling.
