In the latest episode of the Cycling News Podcast from Sportful and Pinarello, we hear from Israeli start-up Nation duo Alex Dowsett and Kjell Carlström.

Dowsett discusses why he challenged the UCI Hour Record in December, while team director Carlström offers insight into the team's transition strategy, Chris Froome's path back to the top of the sport, and where the team's strengths lie in 2021.

Hosts Ed Pickering and Daniel Benson reflect on the conclusion of the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España, what went wrong in NTT Pro Cycling, and how the market will be for dozens of riders who will struggle to compete for teams next season. We will also take a closer look at what went wrong at NTT Procycling and how tough the market will be for the dozens of players struggling to compete for teams next season.

We will also discuss with Richard Kalapas whether the Vuelta runner-up is Ineos' best hope for success in the Grand Tours next season.
