For The Love Of Cycling is exactly what it sounds like. Four people obsessed with cycling. Ned Boulting has spent decades narrating the drama from the commentary box, bringing the stories of the peloton to life, spotting the moments others miss and putting words to the madness. David Millar knows that madness better than most. A former pro who raced at the very top and brings a sharp, unfiltered view of how the sport really works. Pete Kennaugh brings the view from inside the bunch, a former Team Sky road captain who’s ridden through the chaos of Grand Tours and come out the other side with the kind of insight you only get from being there. And Lizzie Deignan adds world-class insight from the women’s peloton, with the experience of a champion who’s raced, won, and helped shape the sport. Between them, they’ve lived cycling from just about every angle. They’ll take you into the heart of the biggest (and smallest) races. Not just what happened, but what it felt like. The atmosphere at the start line, the tension in the bunch, the strange, brilliant, exhausting rhythm of the road. It’s as much about the stories and the people of the sport as it is the results.8f46aed0-4eb4-11f1-9aca-8f95c3745e2c

    Lidl-Trek Dominate Stage 4 of the Tour de France | Breakdown Podcast
    Jul 7 2026
    Stage 4 of the 2026 Tour de France was always expected to be a day for the breakaway, and that's exactly how it unfolded. A 34-rider move escaped early and stayed clear, setting up a fascinating tactical battle between some of the strongest breakaway riders in the race. Biniam Girmay bested rivals Jasper Philipsen and Mads Pedersen to the intermittent sprint points and then sat up. He was never interested in the stage, but Lidl-Trek were the team of the day. Mads Pedersen, Quinn Simmons and their teammates were in complete control. It was inevitable that one of them would take the stage. While Lidl-Trek celebrated the stage victory, the yellow jersey also changed hands as another rider moved into the overall race lead. Tadej Pogacar was clearly happy to allow this.

    Jonas Loses Yellow in Extreme Heat | Tour de France Stage 3 Breakdown
    Jul 6 2026
    Stage 3 of the 2026 Tour de France saw the race cross the Spanish border into France for the first time, with a 195.9km route from Granollers to Les Angles. Now the race really begins. On paper, it wasn’t expected to be a decisive GC stage, but that’s becoming increasingly rare in the modern peloton, and once the road pitched upwards, the biggest names were right at the front. UAE Team Emirates produced a tactical masterclass in the finale. Isaac Del Toro emptied the tank with a huge pull on the final climb before Tadej Pogačar launched to take the stage victory, the yellow jersey from Jonas Vingegaard, and the first real psychological blow of this year’s Tour.

Love the discussions between the three especially when they disappear down a philosophical rabbit hole. A brilliant mix of commentator/fan, ex pro/commentator, and ex pro/DS.

Top notch cycling and philosophical discussion.

Every episode feels like a day at school. Topics covered, Maths, History, Geography, Languages, English, Ethics and Politics and finally sport. A full timetable, and if Ned, Pete and David had been my teachers I might have gone to lessons more regularly. 🤣

A little bit of everything
