About this episode
This episode features a discussion on the UAE Tour, ProVelo round, and an interview with Maeve Plouffe about her cycling journey.
Warny week is here and this episode is stacked. We break down the headlines from the UAE Tour, where Isaac del Toro impressed, Luke Plapp climbed with confidence, and plenty of questions were raised, before diving into the chaos and GC shake-up from the ProVelo round in Tasmania ahead of the Melbourne to Warrnambool Classic. To close, we sit down with Maeve Plouffe for an honest chat about Europe, burnout, rediscovering joy on the bike, and her renewed focus on the track as a home World Cup approaches.
