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

    Behind the Scenes at the Tour de France | Stage 1 Preview Podcast
    Jul 3 2026
    The Tour de France is here and For The Love Of Cycling is on the ground. In this special episode, Ned Boulting, Lizzie Deignan and Pete Kennaugh record from inside the XDS-Astana team bus on the eve of Stage 1, bringing you right into the heart of the biggest race in cycling. With Pete now working as a DS for Astana, the team gets a rare behind-the-scenes look at the atmosphere inside a Tour de France setup before racing begins, as they catch up, talk through the opening team time trial in Barcelona, and discuss what Stage 1 could mean for the general classification battle. How much can teams gain (or lose) in the opening TTT? Who does the route favour? And what is the mood like inside a team bus just hours before the Tour gets underway? It’s part race preview, part reunion, and part all-access look at life inside the Tour de France. And this is just the start - For The Love Of Cycling will be bringing you daily episodes from the road throughout the Tour, with Ned and the team following the race across France.

    The Most Stacked Field Ever? | Tour de France 2026 Preview
    Jun 30 2026
    The biggest race in cycling is here. With just days to go until the 2026 Tour de France rolls out from Barcelona, Ned Boulting, David Millar, Lizzie Deignan and Pete Kennaugh break down everything you need to know ahead of this year’s race. Can Tadej Pogačar make history with a fifth Tour de France title and join the legendary ranks of Anquetil, Merckx, Hinault and Indurain? And if he does, is there anyone in the current peloton capable of stopping him? The team dives into this year’s route - from the opening team time trial in Barcelona to brutal mountain stages featuring Alpe d’Huez, the Galibier and the Tourmalet - and debates how the parcours could shape the battle for yellow. They also analyse the stacked start list: UAE’s powerhouse squad, Visma’s bold Giro-to-Tour strategy, Remco Evenepoel and Red Bull’s options, and Lidl-Trek’s hunt for stage wins. Plus, David, Lizzie and Pete share their own Tour de France experiences from wearing yellow and riding as a domestique to what it really takes to survive the biggest race in the world. And this year, For The Love Of Cycling is on the road. Ned and David will be bringing you daily post-stage episodes from across France, recording from the race itself and bringing you closer to the Tour than ever before.

  • Pogačar Unstoppable, Reusser Reigns Again | Tour de Suisse Podcast

    Pogačar Unstoppable, Reusser Reigns Again | Tour de Suisse Podcast
    Jun 23 2026
    Tadej Pogačar once again proved why he's the man to beat, dominating the Tour de Suisse with three stage victories and the general classification. Ned Boulting, David Millar, Lizzie Deignan and Pete Kennaugh break down every key moment from the men's race, from Pogačar's astonishing long-range attacks and time trial victory to the performances of Richard Carapaz, Mathias Vacek, Mathieu van der Poel and the breakaway winners who briefly stole the spotlight. The team also turns its attention to a thrilling and far less predictable women's Tour de Suisse. Marlen Reusser secured the race for the third time in her career after a dominant time trial and final-stage performance, while Elisa Longo Borghini, Kasia Niewiadoma-Phinney, Cédrine Kerbaol and rising star Lauren Dickson all played major roles in an action-packed week of racing. Plus, the panel discusses dramatic crashes, wrong turns, breakthrough rides, and the biggest stories from Switzerland as the road cycling season builds towards its biggest races.

Cycling yes, but so much more: Philosophy, history, culture, comedy and the human condition. No other podcast can do this.

Life, the Universe and Cycling

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
