Was on this morning and on iPlayer now - interviews on puncture repair, 'saddle soreness', competition (road and MTB), history of women cycling... Well worth a listen.

I think she was the manager of the Wiggle team - I liked her idea of shorter women's races every day ending at the TdF finish line before the guys get there. Also interesting chat about peeing en route.

Why exclude taller women?

Missed the peeing which is always of interest. Liked the idea of daily races but shorter as the daily recovery is a big issue, hence the drugs

Found it a bit disjointed. Tried to cover everything from road and downhill racing to puncture repair to emancipation to "lady parts" (their words) in 45 minutes.Not much on cycle campaigning (unless that came on when I was buying my coffee when my DAB pocket radio cut out!). The dermatologist almost put me off my croissant.

I found it a good, did not realise women cant ride in the Tour de France, found it did go on a bit much about sport.
