Buckle up for a truly epic episode of the road.cc podcast! We're delighted to be joined by legendary cyclist Pippa York and arguably cycling's most well-known journalist, David Walsh, for episode 115.

After York agreed to spend three weeks on the road with Walsh following the Tour de France back in 2020, the pair struck up an unlikely friendship, which culminated in a book about their adventures during that Tour, plus the 2021 and 2022 editions, published earlier this year.

Nothing is off the table in this episode, as we discuss the book, York’s struggles before, during, and after her career, the trans debate in sports, whether cycling has changed over the last 30 years, and a whole lot more.
