There’s Pog in Lombardia, winning again, Ashleigh Moolman Passio makes history for Africa, and who knew the best way to win Gravel Worlds was to be a world tour road rider.

Kate and Joel return to The Wheelhouse Bunker after a trip to Wollongong for the World Champs with a spring in their cleats, buoyed after learning that new world champion Remco “Red Shoes” Evenepoel is a *loyal* Wheelhouse podcast listener. Joel is lucky to be here after yet another magpie assault, while Kate is wondering why on earth the Wheelhouse crew didn’t get a call up to Lance Armstrong’s hall of fame get-together in Mallorca. Also on the agenda are photo finishes in Croatia, bum slides in Rochester, and some serious questions about legal sock height.  Go on, get in the saddle. It’s wheelie good fun.  Show notes: Champion System: https://www.champ-sys.com.au/ Qlik: https://www.qlik.com/us/ Decision Inc: https://decisioninc.com.au/uci-event-predictions/ Wollongong 2022: https://wollongong2022.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From wrangling world champions to offending all of Denmark, or Switzerland, or both, Joel has been out and about in the Gong. There’s coffee that wasn’t paid for, local superfans, and birds that just won’t relent. Recorded with an audience at the Specialised House out on course, Kate and Joel discussed the medals that were won, the rainbows donned, and they somehow convinced a newly minted U23 Women’s world champion to drop in for a chat. Amongst all the excitement, they wondered if the machine beat the expert in predicting race outcomes.

All the colours of the rainbow (jersey) are on full display as the Wheelhouse with Kate and Joel dishes up an extra special Wollongong World's Road Race preview edition.Kate lists her top 5 picks out of the star studded women's and men's fields, with Joel forcing her to choose individual race winners, adapt to new rider nicknames, and embrace a fresh catalogue of worlds' themed puns. Joel tries to wrap his head around some of the UCI equipment rules, such as 'sock measuring' and 'bike motor screening' protocol, while Kate explains course intricacies and ponders whether the peloton will pause to snap selfies along the ridiculously picturesque route. No preview edition would be complete without respectful nods to the amazing array of great Australians, and race threatening magpies, that call the region home.

It’s ALL happening at the UCI Cycling world championships in Wollongong. Kate and Joel have a wrap up of the action so far with all the most important questions answered; was  Tobias Foss’ TT upset or inspired by a clan of Viking enthusiasts camped out in the national park, what does ice cream have to do with creating cycling champions, is anyone NOT afraid of a swooping bird, will junior mens TT silver medallist Hamish McKenzie be the next Richie Porte, and why don’t you tell us what you really think Annamiek Van Vleuten? On that note.. join us for a deep dive into the growing role of data and analytics in the pro peloton, as we ask the question; will machines replace human experts? Also.. some scheduling headaches for the UCI ahead of Filipino Gannas' crack at the hour record in Switzerland, and a surprise appearance from Amanda ‘Spratty Blue shoes’ Spratt in an amateur Penrith cycle group.

Wout Van Aert has been spotted in Wollongong, which means it must be time for the Wollongong World Champs to kick off, and Kate and Joel are excited! With Time Trials the first chance for gold medals, there is a lot of discussion about there being more corners than kilometres, and they wonder if the local place names will trip up the visiting commentators, is Joel's geographical knowledge as good as he thinks and what lays out on course for the riders? They dive into who's arrived on Aussie shores, and who's expected to be the time trial champions. From Ellen Van Dijk to Annemiek Van Vlueten, Filippo Ganna to Tadej Pogacar, all the big stars are here, and The Wheelhouse is ready to be amongst the action.
