Rouleur podcast: From the World Championships in Harrogate

Rouleur podcast: From the World Championships in Harrogate

We’re in Harrogate to hear Ned Boulting and Rebecca Charlton sing the praises of the biggest world championships to date. It’s glorious up north


Yorkshire is once again the centre of the cycling world and the podcast comes direct from Rouleur’s temporary home – the Corner Haus Belgian bar in Harrogate.


Ian Parkinson is joined by Ned Boulting and Rebecca Charlton, looking back at the championship so far and looking ahead to the star events – the men’s and women’s elite road races. Will Vos be unstoppable or will the home crowd cheer home Yorkshire’s own Lizzie Deignan for the win?


And can anyone stop Mathieu van der Poel from leading that last sprint past Betty’s Tea Room. One thing is certain, both races are going to be long, brutal and probably wet.
