S11 Ep3: Touching the Void or (Down) Under Pressure
b'
The 2023 men\\u2019s WorldTour kicked off with the Tour Down Under, and that race features heavily in this week\\u2019s regular episode, with our roving reporter on the ground in Adelaide, Mitch Docker, bringing us up to date with the latest action.\\xa0
\\n
\\nMitch is joined by Daniel Friebe and multiple former Monument and Grand Tour stage winner Dan Martin to also discuss the rest of the week\\u2019s news. That includes the announcement that one of the most beloved riders in the pro peloton, Thibaut Pinot, will retire at the end of the 2023 season.\\xa0
\\n
\\nThe existential void into which some riders disappear when their career ends is our big discussion point in the second half of the podcast. It is also a poignant one in the week when the former Astana rider, Lieuwe Westra, passed away at the age of just 40, after years of mental turmoil. In the episode we\\u2019ll hear about those from Westra\\u2019s friend and biographer, Thomas Sijtsma.\\xa0
