In this episode, Christophe Mallet sits down with Grace Brown, fresh from the World Championships in cycling.
The episode opens on a personal note, as Grace reveals she’s expecting a baby, a moment that adds warmth and relatability before diving into the sport itself.
The pair reflect on the highs and lows of the recent Championships, with Grace sharing her perspective on no longer being the reigning World Champion and highlighting the grit required to compete on such a demanding course.
The discussion then turns to standout performances. Marlen Reusser’s victory gets special attention, along with Jay Vine’s rise to second-best rider in the world. The spotlight inevitably falls on Remco Evenepoel’s too, and his incredible feat of securing a third consecutive world title.
Grace and Christophe break down the mental resilience and consistency required to dominate at this level, exploring what such a milestone means for cycling as a whole.
Looking ahead, they speculate on the drama to come in the road race. Grace weighs in on the brewing rivalry between Remco and Tadej Pogacar, with the psychological battle almost as compelling as the physical one.
