Podcast 2013 Episode 6 - Polemica is delicious and tasty
The latest edition of Dan’s and my women’s cycling podcast. Dan describes it:
It’s a feast of treats for you this week! First off we recap last week’s racing, making sure to check in on Emma Johansson breaking her streak of 3rd places, fortunately for her she did it by snagging a win. We also take stock of who’s been crashing (and I take over Sarah’s usual role of being the bastard in the podcast for a few minutes). We invent the best tasting cycling cocktail ever! We also discover that Sarah is a failure at pop culture, shocking I know. We also talk through some Exergy news and Sarah tells us about her favourite team launch event of all time. There’s a lot to cover so you’d best get listening now! (1:01:55 MIN / 59:45 MB)

Poor, poor Sharon - heal fast
“Sharon had a horrible crash nearing the finish line of the Argus. She was out there having a brilliant ride, breaking away on Suikerbossie. She was in front, riding aggressively and unfortunately this meant she was the first in line when one of the guys went down, sending her rocketing over him and crashing badly.”
Booyens added that Laws had suffered a broken collarbone, an injury to her ribs and a serious back fracture. “(It’s) a great setback at the start of her European season and the end of our Cape Epic dream to ride the 10th together. Yes, she’ll need some time but she’ll be back!

Moolman-Pasio grabs double gold at National Cycling Champs
Congratulations Ashleigh Moolman, double South African national champion!
Dany Schoonbaert: “All our Belgian riders will attend the Omloop Het Nieuwsblad together with Marijn de Vries and the French champion Marion Rousse. We aim for a place in the top three. In the week after the Omloop we will ride two races of the Lotto Cycling Cup. In 2011 Sofie De Vuyst became second in the overall ranking at the end of the season and in 2012 Kaat Hannes did the same. It’s time we win it (laughs). The races are very diverse and it is a very nice initiative.”
“This year we want to have more than five victories and we want to set good results in the big races, so that some of our ladies can go to the World Championships in Italy. That’s one of the reasons they have to be good in the races of the World Cup. With Jolien D’hoore, Kaat Hannes and Marijn de Vries we should be able to perform well in de Ronde van Vlaanderen. And a place on the podium must be possible for Sharon Laws, Carlee Taylor or Ashleigh Moolman in the Flèche Wallonne. Last year Ashleigh finished on the fifth place. The Giro Donne is also a goal for her. Last year she was tenth in the GC and now she will aim for a higher place

Indeed - and congrats, Sharon, for the win!
