This week on The Domestiques, we’re joined by Australian WorldTour rider Josie Talbot for a chaotic, insightful and occasionally internet-challenged conversation from Girona.We break down a wild Giro d’Italia Women, from Lorena Wiebes’ bike-weight disqualification to Demi Vollering’s final-stage heist, Anna van der Breggen’s heartbreak, Elisa Longo Borghini’s home victory, and the continued rise of Antonia Niedermaier, Celia Gery and Lauren Dickson.Josie gives us a rare look inside the women’s peloton, including her shift from sprint-focused rider to climbing domestique, life at Jayco AlUla, the rising level of women’s racing, safety in the bunch, Tour de France selection, Worlds ambitions, time trialling, altitude camps, and why doing a job for someone else is still an art form.Plus, Hollywood reviews Sydney, Marco wins Bendigo, Luke Tuckwell gets a shoutout, Talia Appleton takes a win, and we ask the big questions: is erg mode good, is Melbourne better than Sydney, and can we crowdfund Josie better internet?
