This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will are joined by Ned Boulting: commentator, pundit, author, stage performer and part-time comic.
Ned talks about the 2011 season (the star of his new Road Book 2011 almanac), from its knife-edge Tour de France with Cadel Evans snatching victory at the last gasp, to a Vuelta a España that announced a new star in the shape of Chris Froome. Conversation turns to this year’s Tour, from Cav’s history-making 35th stage win to the imperial form of Tadej Pogačar.
All that plus Primož Roglič the unsung hero, Alberto Contador, the man who flew too close to the clenbuterol, and Ned’s new touring one-man stage show, Ned’s Marginal Mystery Tour – all about his love affair with an unearthed newsreel from the 1923 Tour de France.
Chat with Ned begins at 8min 34sec.
The Road Book 2011 is out now, with essays from Chris Froome, Emma Pooley, Cadel Evans, Ned Boulting and many more. Edited by Andy McGrath. Order your copy here.
