S11 Ep4: The Women's World Tour is back

<div>The Cycling Podcast Feminin kicks off 2023 with a look at the racing that is already in full swing in Australia. Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks discuss the first Women’s World Tour race of the season – the Tour Down Under – which returns to the calendar for the first time since 2020.<br> <br> We also hear from brand new Australian National Champion Brodie Chapman about finally winning the race that kickstarted her cycling career. Back in 2018, Chapman had a full-time office job and was competing in her first ever UCI race when she made the final selection at the National Championships. Her sixth place finish saw her land a pro contract, a move to Europe and even victory in the Sun Tour of Annemiek Van Vleuten. Now she has joined one of the biggest teams in the world, Trek-Segafredo and is looking to both bolster their team of champions as well as pursue some of her own ambitions this year. <br> <br> Fellow Trek-Segafredo recruit Amanda Spratt also had a stand out performance at the Tour Down Under. Her explosive climbing on stage three left The Cycling Podcast team speculating if she might not be taking a step down from race leadership after all. <br> <br> Plus we have the latest news from the women’s professional cycling scene including an update on the collapse of the B&amp;B Hotels team and the agreement of a new title sponsor for the former Drops Cycling squad. <br> <br> <strong>The Cycling Podcast Féminin is supported by Supersapiens and Science in Sport.</strong><br> <br> <strong>The 11.01 Cappuccino</strong><br> Our regular email newsletter is now on Substack. <a href="https://thecyclingpodcast.substack.com/">Subscribe here</a> for frothy, full-fat updates to enjoy any time (as long as it’s after 11am).<br> <br> <strong>Supersapiens</strong><br> Supersapiens is a continuous glucose monitoring system that helps you make the right fuelling choices.
