Nine days in Spain, and the Cadel's Road Race has a new name...

Cadel's road race has a new name

Matthew Keenan joins Christophe and Grace Brown to debrief the Vuelta so far, and also Cadel Evans pops in on the podcast to talk about the new partnership that changes the name of the race


In the latest episode of the SBS Cycling Podcast, Christophe & Grace welcome commentator Matthew Keenan for a conversation recorded in Geelong. Against the cooler conditions, the discussion explores the Vuelta a España, where Grace and Matthew reflect on a surprisingly conservative opening week. They highlight Jonas Vingegaard’s cautious approach and unpack the wider tactical moves in the peloton, giving listeners a deeper look into the often-hidden layers of race strategy.

The episode also shines a spotlight on the Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race, which has secured a new title sponsor in MAPEI. Cadel himself joins the chat, sharing his pride in the race’s growth, the importance of inspiring younger riders, and the way sponsorship supports the future of Australian cycling.
