I have a somewhat long commute by train so I listen to a lot of podcasts every week. I just listened to a string of fantastic interviews and wanted to share them.
Here’s the list:
Abby Wambach on The Bill Simmons Podcast - Abby Wambach talks about her career, next steps, gender pay disparity, and more. Love her honesty. *Update: I don’t agree with Wambach’s “foreign guys” comment. An American is an American but there’s probably more nuance to that statement or I hope there is.
Katie Nolan on Re/code Decode - I didn’t know much about Katie Nolan and only saw her on some short clips on the Fox Sports app. She’s got an interesting story on how media personalities are starting on the Internet first more often these days (still don’t understand Vine stars).
Lance Armstrong on the Joe Rogan Podcast - This might be the most honest interview I’ve heard Lance Armstrong give. He talks about how the doping scandal (everyone was doping on the Tour back then) has affected his family and seems to have some remorse about everything.
Jacques Anquetil in Tour de France Time Trial. by Robert Via Flickr: Jacques, with the No. 1 race number signifying the previous year’s winner, shown here in the 1964 Tour de France wearing the yellow jersey of the race leader. He won the 1964 Tour de France, the last of his five victories in the event.
There’s an article on VeloNews wich is so interesting I couldn’t not not sharing it on the blog, about the late Sean Yates, here in action during a time-trial in the 1988 Tour de France, and who recently retired in rural Spain!
Ashley and Jered Gruber captures some of the action from a Sunday in Hell that will probably go down as the most exciting stage of this year’s Tour de France. Catch more photos from Stage 9 over on CyclingTips.
Happy birthday Greg LeMond, seen here looking rather perky after taking the Tour de France out of the grasp of Laurent Fignon in 1989 in the final stage. Photo comes from Velonews’coverage of past winers.
