Wout Poels: '2015 Froome could compete with Pogacar, Vingegaard and Evenepoel' - Domestique Hotseat Podcast
On the eve of the World Championships in Rwanda, we sat down with Wout Poels for this episode of The Domestique Hotseat. At 37, the Dutch veteran has spanned cycling’s modern eras, and few riders offer such perspective on the sport’s shifting landscape.
Poels reflects on life inside the peloton: from the ‘controlled chaos’ of Kigali’s streets to his memories of Team Sky’s dominance, where he rode alongside Chris Froome, Geraint Thomas and Egan Bernal. He shares his thoughts on the rivalry between Remco Evenepoel and Tadej Pogačar, the rise of all-rounders like Tom Pidcock, and how he ranks Froome against today’s ‘aliens’.
We also talk about the protests that disrupted the Vuelta a España, Astana’s relegation fight, and whether he’ll extend his career for one more year.
Listen now for a rare mix of honesty, perspective, and a touch of humour from one of the peloton’s most respected riders.
