Israel Start-Up Nation's transfer plans, Dowsett's Hour, NTT's struggles - Podcast
We also discuss whether Carapaz is now Ineos' leading Grand Tour hope
In the latest episode of the Cyclingnews podcast – brought to you by Sportful and Pinarello – we hear from Israel Start-up Nation duo Alex Dowsett and Kjell Carlström.
Dowsett talks about the reasons behind his December attempt on the UCI Hour Record, while team director Carlström provides an insight into the team’s transfer strategy, Chris Froome's path back to the top of the sport, and where the team’s strengths lie in 2021.
Hosts Ed Pickering and Daniel Benson recap the endings from both the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España but also take an in-depth look at what has gone wrong at NTT Pro Cycling and how difficult the market is for dozens of riders struggling for teams next season.
We also discuss Richard Carapaz, and whether the Vuelta runner-up is Ineos’ best hope for Grand Tour success next season.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
