For The Love Of Cycling
A panel of celebrated British cycling figures dissects the latest in professional road racing with insider anecdotes and friendly banter.
This is a roundtable discussion show where a seasoned broadcaster and three highly credentialed cyclists break down pro racing. It's a reunion of the 'Never Strays Far' podcast team, blending formal race analysis with the casual, informed chat of former colleagues. The format allows them to move fluidly between tactical breakdowns, personal stories from their racing days, and opinions on cycling world controversies.
“The show's strength is the chemistry and collective authority of its hosts. Unlike many analysis shows, it features a world-class active female rider (Lizzie Deignan), a recent team director (Pete Kennaugh), a key figure from the Armstrong/Garmin era (David Millar), and a veteran TV anchor (Ned Boulting), providing a uniquely comprehensive view of the sport.”
Who hosts this show
For The Love Of Cycling features sports journalist Ned Boulting alongside a rotating panel of former and current professional cyclists, including David Millar, Lizzie Deignan, and Peter Kennaugh. Boulting, a veteran ITV commentator for the Tour de France, leads discussions that analyze recent Grand Tour stages and one-day races. The co-hosts, all decorated champions, provide firsthand insight from their careers on and off the bike.
