S14 Ep72: Life is Suisse
6/26/202652 min
Donkeys beware, there’s enough chat about recent racing from Rose Manley and Lizzy Banks that they’re at risk of losing their hind legs.
Rose and Lizzy tackle some major talking points from the Tour de Suisse and beyond. Like how might Zoe Backstedt shape up against Lorena Wiebes in future? What might Kasia Niewiadoma’s rumoured transfer to Lidl-Trek mean for the Polish champion and for Canyon-SRAM? And who should Team UAE-ADQ pick for the Tour de France Femmes considering their huge roster of climbing talent?
Plus there’s a message for our listeners from co-host Rebecca Charlton after she made her cancer treatment public last week.
Also on the agenda: legless donkeys, Lizzy the richest-woman-that-never-was and how a poo could disrupt the Canyon-SRAM team camp.

Rose Manley· Host0:47
Yeah. Was that... How, how do you translate that into French? Did you have to translate that into French? A direct translation.
Lizzy Banks· Host0:53
Well, in French you would say, "You get put in a tunnel." Je me suis pris d'un tunnel. Uh, sorry French speakers. Yeah, I was put inside a tunnel, so completely different.
Rose Manley· Host1:05
If you're being talked to too much, you're put in a tunnel.
Lizzy Banks· Host1:08
Yeah, like you're put in, you're put in a tunnel so that you can't get out. Because I can't get a word in edgeways, it's like I can't get out of the tunnel.
Rose Manley· Host1:14

Lizzy Banks· Host1:27
Hmm. I'm not sure. Well, what I was thinking
