Relegation woes, Fem and Wout get dirty, and Sagan’s got beef.

This week on The Wheelhouse we’ve got some big names confirmed for the summer of cycling in Australia, and the Tour Down Under.

There’s a shiny trophy coming back to Aus after UCI Champions League wrapped up in London, the Australian E-Sports team has been announced, and World Tour sponsor withdrawals are causing chaos.

There’s rumours about Remco and the Tour de France, the UCi have made some rules changes that Kate and Joel endorse (for once……) and what do we think about Qatar and the Olympics….

As usual it’s a lot of fun so like, share and follow!

Jai Hindley and Jay Vine vs the corkscrew, plus Remco plans his debut TDF

With the off season in full swing, how do the pros prepare for the January start of the World Tour, and why is Jay Vine so excited about the corkscrew at Tour Down Under?

Australia's queen of track cycling Anna Meares is back in the news, and Kate and Joel take a deep dive into how climate change will affect the cycling scene. Are bikes the solution, or part of the problem?

It's an off season chance to deep dive into the topics of the week from the comfort of The Wheelhouse Bunker. Join us, let us know what you think, like, share and follow. 

What happens in the off season, Australia loves Anna Meares & we're expecting a very hot TDF.

This is one of the most honest and no nonsense interviews with an athlete you’ll hear this year.

In 2022 Aussie Jay Vine  won TWO incredible stages at the Vuelta Espana, but he hasn’t had a typical ascent to Grand Tour stage winner.

Buoyed by the unwavering support of his best friend and wife, Bre, the Vines embarked on a European odyssey with eyes wide open, determined to make their mark.

Both revered e-sports racers, Bre and Jay talk Zwift tactics, and Jay delves into the highs of grand tour stage victories at La Vuelta, and wearing the coveted King of the Mountains jersey, to the lows of crashing out and having his life flash before his eyes.

From inside The Wheelhouse Bunker, Jay shares what’s behind his incredible drive and resilience, and the philosophy behind his raw, analytical approach. He opens up about his experiences at Alpecin, and tells us what really drove him to break his contract and head to UAE, and well as why he looks forward to racing alongside Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar.

Not afraid to tackle the big issues, the Vines talk about how tough it is for the Aussies to get noticed by international teams, Jay questions the recruitment tactics in the World Tour, shares his thoughts on why he skipped Aussie Road Nats and the mind set behind his meteoric rise + tells us which race he has his eye on in Season 2023.

The Vines have such a compelling story. If you love your cycling this episode is a must listen.

Aussie Jay Vine | From Zwift Racer to Grand Tour stage winner

This week Kate and Joel are enthralled by the Champions League Track Cycling and the antics of the sprinters. 

There's BMX Freestyle where Joel learns some new cycling lingo, there's E-Sports + Lachy Morton and Tegan Phillips have Mark Beaumont's epic world records in sight. 

The hunt is on for the best named cycling cafe's in Australia, with a clear state emerging as a lover of cycling puns. 

As always, it's lots of fun so join us to unpack the week that's been. 

Champions League, a full cab 360 with change, and the best cycling cafe names.

On this week episode, spirits are high as Kate returns from a mtb adventure, while Joel narrowly avoids a vicious snake bite.

Gerraint Thomas seeks public opinion to plan his race calendar after a disappointing Tour de France route reveal, what the heck is indoor cycling, and what are those moves called?

Tom Dumoulin reckons pro athletes are a little crazy, how well does Kate remember the 2022 road cycling season,  and why do athletes have to apply to be on an AusCycling (Cycling Australia) national team?

The team traverses thousands of kms around Australia for their Top 5 cycling regions for ride riding, and the AusCycling SheRides Zero to Hero program hits a high note.

For something new, there is no mention of Mark “Cav” Cavendish….

As usual it’s a lot fun with the cycling news of the week, so like, follow and share!

A failed quiz, indoor cycling, the five best places to ride your bike in Australia

This week there’s some excitement in the bunker as Kate and Joel welcome special guest Jordana Blackman, founder and chief chick at Chicks Who Ride Bikes.

Having just released a special app for women’s cycling, Jordana now has two things in common with Elon Musk, being a tech wizard, as well as a fan of bikes.

At least we assume Elon is a fan given the Model B ebike from Tesla which looks amazing, but leaves some confusion about how the non traditional handlebars work. Musks twitter takeover has us pondering what may happen if he were to buy the Tour De France, and closer to home soil, Aussie  Jay Vine exits his Alpecin team contract early.

Pauline Ferrand Prevot makes her Ineos team debut, but it’s a shocker where she easily out performs her faulty bike at Koppenberg cross. Jonas Vingegaard crosses the line first…. But did he win? Lachy Morton is fighting the good fight, and yet again the question gets asked, where is the world in Mark Cavendish going for 2023.

As always, it’s a fun one! Listen, like, follow and share!

What's Elon Musk got to do with cycling, facial recognition to find a ride buddy, and Jay Vine fly's the coup.

From the Basque Country, to Paris, via the five mountain regions traversing west to east across France, the 2023 Tour de France men’s route is a climbers paradise. Aussie hopes will be high with Ben O’Connor saying he prefers the 2023 course to years prior, but will Caleb Ewan be thrilled, Kate and Joel suggest not.

The Tour de France Femme route will create a suspenseful race, with something for everyone, including a finishing day time trial, and Kate isn’t too impressed by the non-traditional tour finish.

The Hashimi sisters fight back after their oppression, Fem van Empel is slaying the cyclocross season, sports funding remains in the spotlight, as ARA Sunshine Coast Pro Racing announce a new title partner, and will Gina Rinehart save the Jayco Herald Sun Tour?

Easily digestible, mostly factual, listen, follow, share! 

The 2023 Tour de France & Femmes big course reveal

Fillipo Ganna’s record breaking ways on the Velodrome make track cycling look glamorous but after the unearthing of a behind the scenes pic of Aussie track sprinter Matty Richardson,  Kate and Joel aren’t so sure. The Para athletes are racing in Paris, with Aussie hopes high.

Valverde and The Shark of Messina say au revoir to their competitive cycling careers, but will they leave the legacy they intended?

The Giro course for 2023 has been announced and it seems like it was custom built for Remco, Dan Martin thinks pro cycling is boring, but was he taken out of context, and French darling Benoit Cosnefroy is getting married….if his bride to be forgives him for his bucks party stunt. 

We run a sharp eye over the announcement of Shell as a sponsor of British Cycling, the backlash and the accusation of greenwashing to win community favour.

E-sports season is upon us with the 2023 World Championship format announced, Continental Qualifiers on the horizon, and Zwift Academy finalists announced, and as Joel warms into his new cycling regime, Kate is pleased to share some pro tips that shouldn’t be too imposing to help him on his journey.

A world record, a broken arm, and a shark on the way out.

On this week’s Wheelhouse, Kate’s back from her Tassie adventure and is excited about Matt Glaetzer and the Team Sprint gold medal for Australia, plus a ground shaking Hour record for Fillipo Ganna.

There’s Pog in Lombardia, winning again, Ashleigh Moolman Passio makes history for Africa, and who knew the best way to win Gravel Worlds was to be a world tour road rider.

MTB’s took over Cairns, and Crank Worx was a big success + what does a 2,560 pound pumpkin have to do with the Tour De France?

Kate and Joel get Cav’d

In this Special Edition of The Wheelhouse, Kate and Joel delve into some of the greatest comebacks in the sport of cycling over the past century.

Some you will be familiar with some you you likely won't, but every subject is fascinating and could be made into a movie. Actually one was!

We hope you enjoy this special episode of The Wheelhouse with Kate and Joel.

Kate & Joel's best EVER cycling comebacks

Kate and Joel return to The Wheelhouse Bunker after a trip to Wollongong for the World Champs with a spring in their cleats, buoyed after learning that new world champion Remco “Red Shoes” Evenepoel is a *loyal* Wheelhouse podcast listener.

Joel is lucky to be here after yet another magpie assault, while Kate is wondering why on earth the Wheelhouse crew didn’t get a call up to Lance Armstrong’s hall of fame get-together in Mallorca.

Also on the agenda are photo finishes in Croatia, bum slides in Rochester, and some serious questions about legal sock height. 


Go on, get in the saddle. It’s wheelie good fun.

From wrangling world champions to offending all of Denmark, or Switzerland, or both, Joel has been out and about in the Gong. There’s coffee that wasn’t paid for, local superfans, and birds that just won’t relent.

Recorded with an audience at the Specialised House out on course, Kate and Joel discussed the medals that were won, the rainbows donned, and they somehow convinced a newly minted U23 Women’s world champion to drop in for a chat.

Amongst all the excitement, they wondered if the machine beat the expert in predicting race outcomes.

All the colours of the rainbow (jersey) are on full display as the Wheelhouse with Kate and Joel dishes up an extra special Wollongong World's Road Race preview edition.

Kate lists her top 5 picks out of the star studded women's and men's fields, with Joel forcing her to choose individual race winners, adapt to new rider nicknames, and embrace a fresh catalogue of worlds' themed puns.

Joel tries to wrap his head around some of the UCI equipment rules, such as 'sock measuring' and 'bike motor screening' protocol, while Kate explains course intricacies and ponders whether the peloton will pause to snap selfies along the ridiculously picturesque route.

No preview edition would be complete without respectful nods to the amazing array of great Australians, and race threatening magpies, that call the region home.

It’s ALL happening at the UCI Cycling world championships in Wollongong.

On that note.. join us for a deep dive into the growing role of data and analytics in the pro peloton, as we ask the question; will machines replace human experts?

Also.. some scheduling headaches for the UCI ahead of Filipino Gannas' crack at the hour record in Switzerland, and a surprise appearance from Amanda ‘Spratty Blue shoes’ Spratt in an amateur Penrith cycle group.

Wout Van Aert has been spotted in Wollongong, which means it must be time for the Wollongong World Champs to kick off, and Kate and Joel are excited!

With Time Trials the first chance for gold medals, there is a lot of discussion about there being more corners than kilometres, and they wonder if the local place names will trip up the visiting commentators, is Joel's geographical knowledge as good as he thinks and what lays out on course for the riders?

They dive into who's arrived on Aussie shores, and who's expected to be the time trial champions. From Ellen Van Dijk to Annemiek Van Vlueten, Filippo Ganna to Tadej Pogacar, all the big stars are here, and The Wheelhouse is ready to be amongst the action.

They talk Wollongong 2022 World Championships, using pedal power to raise money for bikes in Africa, and some rider name pronunciations that people seem to find a little tricky.
