Orla Chennaoui on overcoming L'Etape du Femmes, the explosion of woman's cycling, and harnessing her superpower | Watts Occurring Femmes |
Manon and Emma welcomed cycling royalty to the pod this week: Orla Chennaoui.
Orla was fresh off a remarkable day on the bike, taking on L'Etape du Tour de France Femmes.
Their chat started with that and then headed into incredibly inspirational territory.
Orla is a star, and it was our pleasure to welcome her to the pod.

Cycling speed guns, Deutschland diaries and Vuelta predictions | Watts Occurring
There was G, minding his own business on a leisurely training ride, when a flipping triathlete overtook him. Minutes later, the Cam Wurf wannabe had been pulled over the by the Gendarme for riding too fast.
A close escape for our Welshman, who's winding down now - but not before racing the Tour of Germany this week, and the Tour of Britain in a fortnight.
Luke's been busy too, DSing in Hamburg and now he's prepping himself for Renewi Tour. God speed, Decathlon AG2R.

Oscar Onley on his remarkable breakthrough Tour de France | Watts Occurring
Pre-Tour de France, a lot of names were thrown around for the top 10. Not many lists had Scotsman Oscar Onley on them.
And yet the 22 year old from Kelso enjoyed a breakthrough ride at the world's biggest race. Fourth place overall, with a remarkable eight top-10 finishes, Oscar announced himself on the biggest stage and finished just a minute off the podium.
We knew we had to get him on the pod - and of course, Luke had to crown him as our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Tour. Awards in cycling don't get bigger than that.
We know you'll love hearing from Oscar.
All being well, G will be back next week. See you then.

Tour de France Femmes review - and Emma got an MBE! | Watts Occurring Femmes
When Emma Finucane walked into the Watts Occurring Femmes studio yesterday, the team had to bow down at her feet. She's now an MBE!
Manon Lloyd got the inside scoop on what it's like to receive such an honour from Princess Anne. She also told Emma about her own recent brush with cycling royalty - when she interviewed G at the end of the Tour!
The girls also dig into the Tour de France Femmes and Pauline Ferrand Prevot's remarkable victory for France, before taking on a whole load of listener questions. And yes, that's where Emma revealed she once cried while at 1,000 watts. You need to stick around for that.
We'll be back next week with the incredible Amy Hudson, who's just finished a mindblowing cycling challenge of her own.
