Fast on the bike. Funny off it.

We talk racing, cycling culture, staying true to yourself, and why having fun might actually be one of the most underrated performance strategies in the sport.

And yes... there were plenty of laughs along the way.

We see the bikes. But what happens behind the bikes? 👀

The launches.
The press.
The journalists.
The creators.
The brands.
The very complicated logistics of getting all of them in the same place and making it look effortless ✨

This week on Zone2Speak, I’m joined by Simon Cittati and Giulio Neri, co-founders of @bikeconnectionagency to go behind the scenes of the cycling industry.

Who gets invited and why, what makes a good journalist or creator, the relationship between brands and media, and the rise of content creators.

It was such an interesting conversation because we spend so much time talking about bikes, but rarely about the people and businesses working behind the scenes to bring all of it together.

Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes of a cycling tour? 🚴‍♀️

This week on Zone2Speak, I’m joined by Lincon Zarbietti, a bike guide in Europe, for a very different conversation.

We get into the reality of the job: the planning, logistics, constant travel, weather, mechanical dramas, recovery… and the cyclists 😅

The good ones.
The demanding ones.
And the ones who perhaps have slightly unrealistic expectations of what a cycling holiday should involve.

We also talk about the highs, the moments that make all completely worth it.

Sooooo very excited about this episode. I am so grateful @r_mcgregor came to chat with me on the pod! I have been wanting to talk about this for a while.

In this episode of Zone2Speak, I’m joined by Renee McGregor to talk about RED-S, low energy availability, fuelling, hormones, recovery and the pressure to be lighter in endurance sport.

We also go beyond the female athlete conversation, talking about perimenopause, menopause and testosterone in men, and why hormonal health matters for everyone.

A really important conversation about looking beyond watts, weight and race results, and listening to what your body is telling you.

This week on Zone2Speak, I’m joined by Gerard Greene, the founder of Off Grid Girona, a place that feels very different from your typical hotel, and very much connected to the people, food, nature and cycling that make Girona special.

We talk about leaving behind the corporate world, starting over, why Gerard chose Girona, the evolution of its cycling community, entrepreneurship, sustainability, food, and the challenge of creating community in a world that often feels increasingly disconnected.

What happens when your cycling journey becomes bigger than your own results? 🚴🏾‍♀️

This week on Zone2Speak, I’m joined by Violette Neza, Rwandan cyclist, UCI-certified coach, mentor, and the founder of KOMERA New Cycling Team, a project helping young girls in Rwanda discover the opportunities that cycling can create.

We talk about her journey from Rwanda to racing in Europe, her work empowering the next generation of female riders, representation in cycling, and what it really means to build a career as a privateer.

Violette is racing for herself, but she’s also racing for the girls watching her and believing that they can do it too ❤️

What if getting stronger on the bike starts with getting stronger off it? 💪🚴

Derek Teel, founder of @dialedhealth joins me on @zone2speak to talk about strength training for cyclists, coaching ultra-endurance athletes like Lael Wilcox, recovery, longevity, and the biggest mistakes cyclists make in the gym.

But Derek’s story goes far beyond training.

Two years ago, he was lying on the pavement wondering if he’d ever walk again.

Today, he’s back on the bike and has completed an Everesting challenge, 29,032 feet of climbing in a single ride.

We talk about what it took to rebuild, what recovery taught him, and how the experience changed him as a coach and athlete.

And don’t miss the Fire Chat at the end 🔥 Some very quick, very honest answers about strength, recovery, training and cycling.

4,000 miles. One bicycle. One unforgettable reason. ❤️

Taylor Nichols didn’t ride across the United States to chase a record or stand on a podium.

He rode from San Francisco to Michigan to visit his 101-year-old father.

Along the way, he camped under the stars, met incredible people, invited strangers to ride alongside him, and experienced America one mile at a time.

This conversation isn’t just about bikepacking. it’s about family, slowing down, resilience, and discovering what really matters when you spend weeks living on two wheels.

It’s one of those episodes that reminds us why we ride 🚴‍♂️
