- Interesting how starting with “a clean slate” in 2018 shaped their relationship. Not being a cycling insider probably helped keep things grounded. Also, the balance she describes—privilege, sacrifice, and shared routines—captures the reality of living with an elite athlete better than most features do.
- The transformation arc is inspiring—Pilates, strength work, saunas, ice baths, and now cycling after a hip niggle? Respect. “33-year-old Roxanne would beat 25-year-old Roxanne” is such a great line. Also refreshing that she admits she’s not as driven as Mathieu but still finds her own path.
- Loved this peek behind the curtain. We always see MVDP’s results, but not the quiet structure around him. Roxanne’s honesty about the pressure during the Classics and the Whoop “yellow spike” made it so relatable. Support teams (partners included) really are part of the performance.
- Smart move to rest instead of chasing race days. Last year she was second in both Suisse and the Tour; maybe fewer race miles is the missing piece for that second yellow. Also, the pink jersey and shades on the training ride—chef’s kiss. Let the legs recover, keep the confidence high, and bring on August
- Van der Breggen’s resurgence at the Giro was such a twist—dominant in the mountain TT and so solid on the Finestre stage. It really forced Vollering to try something audacious on the finale. Love seeing those tactical battles at the top. Curious whether we’ll get a rematch in July and how the Swiss training block factors in.
- What a season Vollering is putting together. That Giro turnaround on the final day was pure race craft—long-range attack, perfect timing on the last climb, and ice-cold composure. Skipping Tour de Suisse for a recovery block makes total sense after going all-in for a week. If FDJ-SUEZ nail the taper, she’ll be terrifying at the Tour de France Femmes.
- - Crosswinds and hands off the bars are a brutal combo. Still, iconic photos incoming. Bet he never celebrates before the line again! Congrats, Liam—memorable doesn’t even cover it.
- - “Fail of the year” turned into “photo finish of the decade.” Glad he’s mostly okay—could’ve been so much worse. Big confidence boost for Lotto-Intermarché, they’ve been knocking all season.
- - The way he bridged to Carapaz and Vlasov and still had the legs for the sprint says a lot about his engine. The crash is going to get the headlines, but tactically that was a really mature ride.
- - That finish was wild. Honestly thought Carapaz might sneak it after the crash, but fair play to Slock—he was the strongest all day and still slid it home. Lesson learned on early celebrations, but what a way to take your first pro win.
