In this Cycling Life Story I am joined by Australian rider for AG Insurance Soudal Quick-Step, Anya Louw.

Anya grew up in Tasmania and we chat about what life was like growing up there, travelling by boat to races and how it felt to race in Europe for the first time as a young rider.

I'm really excited to be joined by one of my favourite female road riders and current European Champion, Lorena Wiebes.

After starting out racing cyclocross, Lorena progressed to road and track racing as a Junior rider winning National and European titles in both disciplines.
Lorena now focuses on road racing as well as taking part in a few cross races through the winter. With Team DSM, Lorena was the first ever wearer of the Yellow Jersey in The Tour de France Femme avec Zwift and was one of the most successful female road riders of 2022. As well as becoming Elite European champion, Lorena won 3 stages of The Women's Tour, 4 stages of the Baloise Ladies Tour and the General Classification in the Simac Ladies Tour.
Lorena now rides for Team SD Worx and has already started her season well with a stage win and a 2nd at the Women's UAE Tour.

I'm so grateful to Lorena for taking the time to chat with me and can't wait to watch her racing again this season.

This week I am joined by young British rider for Team DSM, Max Poole.

Max has been racing since he was under 10, starting out mostly on the track before road racing gradually became the number 1 discipline.  Max has already had a lot of success including winning the National Omnium title and Youth Tour of Scotland,  representing Great Britain in the Junior Road World Championships and winning the Junior Road British National title. 
As an Under 23, Max has spent a year as part of the DSM Development Team before moving up to Team DSM World Tour for the 2023 season.
I really enjoyed chatting to Max about the upcoming season and his future goals on the bike and I can't wait to see what he achieves.

Max starts his season with Team DSM at Tour Des Alpes-Maritimes Stage race and you can follow this and all of Max's road season on GCN+ and Eurosport.

For this episode I am joined by former Junior Cyclocross World Champion, Jens Dekker.

After hearing Jens commentate on the cross on GCN Eurosport this season, I really wanted to find out more about him and his life in cycling. I'm really grateful to Jens for chatting with me and I'm so glad to have heard his story.
Jens started out as a road rider before focusing on cross as a Junior where he won the Dutch National title, European Championships and World Championships.
Jens moved onto Under 23 with some strong results before illness and crashes affected his racing with poor health ending his cross career in 2020.
Jens now writes a blog where he reviews cyclocross courses and coaches youth riders as well as his commentary on GCN.

Alex and I chat about him growing up in Australia and being inspired by the Commonwealth Games and his early races before joining the Zwift Academy programme.  Alex talks me through being selected for the finals, training and riding with the Pro riders at Alpecin Fenix and how it felt to win the competition.
