The Cycling Podcast

This episode of The Cycling Podcast is a tribute to Richard Moore, who passed away last month aged 48.

Richard founded The Cycling Podcast in 2013 with Lionel Birnie and Daniel Friebe and with his passing we have lost our directeur sportif, team leader, road captain and super domestique deluxe all in one. But more than that, we have lost our very dear friend...

In this episode of Service Course, Tom speaks to Dan Craven, better known as Dan from Nam. Dan's career began in 2009 with the Rapha Condor team and he finished up in 2017 after a spell with Israel Cycling Academy, but that's probably less than ten per cent of the story.

Ever since 2020, The Cycling Podcast and Dvine Cellars of London have joined forces and united passions to offer a liquid accompaniment to our listeners’ Grand Tour experience. This year – after months of discussions and a highly contentious tasting session in March – we again settled on six bottles that hopefully represent the geography and the spirit of the upcoming Giro d’Italia. The name of the case – the Selezione Simpatica – is a nod to our great leader, Richard Moore...

Attila Valter is one of three Hungarian riders lining up at this year’s Giro d’Italia. The other two, Erik Fetter of Eolo-Kometa and Barnabás Peák of Intermarché-Wanty-Gobert, will also enjoy rapturous support over the weekend – but there is no doubt that Valter is the prodigious son of Hungarian cycling. At last year’s Corsa Rosa, he became the first Hungarian to ever lead a major tour, wearing the maglia rosa for three days...
