Owain and Veronica talk about the ups and downs they’ve experienced with mental health both as individuals and as professional athletes. We cover everything from the importance of being open about the times they’ve struggled, the ways in which they take care of themselves, how becoming a parent has changed Owain’s outlook, and the importance of community.

The second edition of the Tour de France Femmes just wrapped up and we thought we would do something a little different for this one. Instead of doing a deep dive with one or two riders, we talked with each rider – Alison Jackson, Sara Poidevin, Kathrin Hammes, Georgia Williams, Magdeleine Vaillieres and Letizia Borghesi – and asked them about their race, a bit about the highs and lows of Grand Tour racing and what their plans are for the final part of the season. So join us on this ride as we explore the world of cycling together.

James Shaw is over a week into his first Tour de France and it's been quite a week for the Tour rookie.

We are at the 2023 Tour de France. It's only stage 3 but a lot has already happened during our time here in the Basque Country. For Tour de France rookie James Shaw, it definitely wasn’t an easy road to get here. After numerous setbacks throughout his career and doubts that he would ever race professionally again, James earned his spot on our Tour de France roster and has already shown why he can be trusted as a super teammate and rider at the world’s biggest race.

We are talking with Lachlan Morton and Keegan Swenson about the ups and downs of racing at Cape Epic – the “Tour de France of mountain biking.” Featuring 8 brutal stages and some gnarly weather conditions, this year’s edition of the South African race proved to be one of the toughest editions in recent memory. It was a challenging week of racing, but one Keegan and Lachlan won’t forget anytime soon. So join us on this ride as we explore the world of cycling together.

This week, we are celebrating the biggest victory in EF Education-TIBCO-SVB’s history with a special episode with winner of the 2023 Paris-Roubaix Alison Jackson and team Sport Director Tim Harris.

This week, we have a very special episode in honor of Women’s History Month. While March has come and gone, we want to keep celebrating all the amazing work the women on our teams have done and are doing. EF Education-TIBCO-SVB rider Lizzy Banks and general manager Rachel Hedderman are trailblazers in women’s cycling and have advanced our sport both quietly behind the scenes and on the world stage. Their passion for the sport is contagious and the work they have done in advancing the sport is an inspiration to us all. So join us on this ride as we explore the world of cycling together.

Lachlan and Gus Morton are both legends of the cycling world in their own rights. Born and raised in Port Macquarie in New South Wales, Australia, Lachlan and Gus spent their childhoods chasing each other on dirt bikes, and then on road bikes before traveling the world racing for various teams both together and apart. While they have chosen different paths throughout their lives, the thread that has always connected them is the bike. Join us on this ride as we explore the world of cycling together.

This year, we will take you to the heart of our men’s and women’s teams. From the world's biggest races, to our backyards and favorite places, we’re exploring what motivates and challenges us.
