  • In episodes 121 and #5 of the Watch the Femmes series, we welcome Kasia Niewadoma on to the TPR Podcast.

    Kasia and I discussed how she deals with internal pressures, especially after experiencing numerous near misses and podium finishes in recent years. We explored the changes Kasia made in her training that led to her successful 2024 season, culminating in a significant victory at Amstel Gold.

    We also chat about the Tour de France Femmes and get her thoughts on the stage win versus GC podium dilemma, what the race may look like in 20 years, and what the race needs that it is missing now.

    There is plenty in this episode that will help you get to know and love the star that is Kasia Niewadoma.

  • In episode 102, we chat with Anya Louw from AG Insurance - Soudal. The 23-year-old Tasmanian quickly rose to the Women’s World Tour in 2022 and has established herself as a real captain within the team despite admittedly still learning the ropes herself. Anya and I chatted about her adaption to the European professional lifestyle, what aspects she is doing well, and what she still needs to work on. Anya gives her opinion on what can still be improved in the Women’s World Tour from a sporting perspective, and we even discuss the juicy rumours of current Tour de France champion Demi Vollering and where she might end up in 2025 and if her rumoured 1 million dollar multi-year contract is a good thing for the sport.

    Anya is an absolute delight and certainly one to watch at AG Insurance - Soudal in the coming years. Enjoy.
