S11 Ep20: Whole Lotte Love
b'
This month, The Cycling Podcast F\\xe9minin team get what they wished for: a fiercely fought battle between two teammates. Lotte Kopecky and Demi Vollering gunned it out at Strade Bianche with the Dutchwoman eventually crowned the victor after a tense photo finish. Despite being pipped into second, the Italian classic marked yet another chapter in Kopecky\\u2019s extraordinary early season in which she has never finished lower than runner-up.\\xa0
\\n
\\nRose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks discuss the race and its fallout, including the controversial disqualification of Kristen Faulkner for the wearing of a continuous glucose monitor.\\xa0
\\n
\\nRose also speaks to Puck Pieterse, one of the unlikely stars of Strade Bianche. Cyclo-cross racer Pieterse finished fifth in her first ever Women\\u2019s World Tour road race. She explains her approach to having fun on the bike and why we won\\u2019t be seeing her at any more road races this season.
\\n
\\nThe team also talk about a less acrimonious team one-two finish at Trofeo Alfredo Binda. Last month\\u2019s interviewee Shirin van Anrooij took the win there, followed by her Trek-Segafredo teammate Elisa Balsamo.
\\n
\\nOrla closes the show with a beautiful tribute to our deeply missed friend Richard Moore, who passed away a year ago.
