In this week\\u2019s episode of The Cycling Podcast, long-time Grand Tour diarist Pavel Sivakov joins us to reflect on his 2023 season and look ahead to his imminent move to the world\\u2019s number one-ranked team, UAE Team Emirates.\\xa0
\\n
\\nThe winner of the Giro della Toscana in September and a top-10 finisher in six stage races, Sivakov enjoyed his best season ever in 2023 - and yet recognises that, in some pundits\\u2019 eyes, his Grand Tour results are still used as the single measure of his career trajectory. He and Daniel Friebe discuss why that is while also looking back at his time at INEOS, examining that team\\u2019s quest to build a new identity, dissecting his own issues with self-doubt - and casting thoughts ahead to the next phase of his career.\\xa0
