Race Coverage and Analysis
The Cycling Podcast, founded in 2013 by Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie, and Daniel Friebe, is the default English-language companion to the Grand Tours. Daily episodes land within hours of each stage during the Giro, Tour, and Vuelta; weekly shows carry the rest of the calendar. The chemistry is well-tuned, the books extend the brand into print, and the archive is now over a decade deep.
Escape Collective launched in 2023 from the team that left Cyclingtips after its sale to Outside Interactive. The flagship Escape Show covers racing weekly; Nerd Alert does gear and tech; Wheel Talk covers women's racing. A subscriber tier funds daily race coverage that the free feed does not.

Coaching and Performance
Fast Talk from Fast Talk Labs is the podcast for training science. Episodes run 60-90 minutes, often with researchers or coaches — Andrew Coggan, Stephen Seiler, Hunter Allen — and the in-house trio keeps the science grounded in practical application. If you want to understand why zone two works, start here.
Marginal Gains, hosted by Josh Poertner of Silca, goes deep on equipment: tyres, drivetrain efficiency, tyre pressure, ceramic bearings, aero. It is the closest cycling has to a mechanic's audio book, and the back catalogue is a reference library.

Long-form Interviews
Mitch Docker's Life in the Peloton features hour-plus rider conversations, often with teammates or ex-pros, in a relaxed Australian register. After retiring from EF Pro Cycling, Docker has continued the show independently.
The Cycling Podcast's Friends of the Podcast feed carries interview specials and subscriber-only series, including drops from inside team buses. Cyclist Magazine Podcast and BikeRadar Podcast offer magazine-style breadth — gear, ride reports, reader questions.

Personality and Opinion
Lance Armstrong's The Move is the most controversial podcast in the sport. Daily Tour coverage is co-hosted with George Hincapie, JB Hager, and Austin Lumpkin. Listen for the inside-peloton tactical breakdown, weigh the man separately.
For niche scenes, The British Continental covers the UK domestic calendar; Recon Routes covers gravel and bikepacking; The Inner Ring's sporadic podcast feed is worth the wait. Pick two for race week (one daily, one weekly) and one for the off-season (coaching or long-form).
