Lizzie Deignan is one of the world’s greatest ever female cyclists.

She’s won World, Commonwealth and National titles as a road cyclist and is an Olympic silver medallist.

Lizzie is now also changing the narrative around motherhood and elite sport. Having returned to cycling after the birth of daughter Orla, last October she won the inaugural Paris-Roubaix Femmes after pulling away from the peloton with more than 80km to go in what a spectacular race.

In this fascinating episode we talk about how Lizzie’s team, Trek Segafredo, are supporting her during her latest pregnancy, the importance of the Tour de France Femme this summer for the profile of women’s cycling and what can be done to ensure equal prize money in the future.
