BEYOND THE RIDE #7 : THE VOICE OF THE PELOTON with Steve Chainel

In this episode of Beyond the Ride, we sit down with Steve Chainel, former professional cyclist, French cyclo-cross champion and now one of the most recognizable voices in cycling.

From the intensity of racing at the highest level to stepping behind the microphone with Eurosport, Steve shares the story of his journey through the sport: the victories, the challenges, the emotions, and the passion that has always driven him. 

We also dive into the heart of the biggest race in cycling — the Tour de France — exploring what it takes to understand the peloton, tell the story of a race, and bring fans closer to the action. With his unique perspective as both a former rider and a commentator, Steve gives us his inside view on the upcoming Tour de France 2026.
