Episode 10 of Inside The Race – The MyWhoosh Racing Podcast follows stage 4 the 2026 MyWhoosh Championship stage race.
We moved to Bhutan for stage 4 – Break the field, the first of 2 big climbing days that come before the rest day and with plenty of tired legs in the race fields we saw many riders looking to conserve energy while a select few sensed the opportunity to race to their strengths. Due to the huge volume of points available to riders in the climbing competition anyone who had ambitions for the KoM or QoM had to show their hand today, the sprinters were looking to see who was able to ascend as well as accelerate and the GC hopefuls now have utilised the terrain to reduce the number of contenders!
Hayley has an appointment with the Docter – Dr Francesca Tommasi who has been handing out the medicine the moment the gradient steepens and all the hosts get jealous of the spa like recovery set up of one of the nicest guys in racing Hayden Pucker.
In the last part of the show non-climber Matt throws an added dimension into Hayley and Emma’s thoughts on stage 5 where we head to Columbia for the biggest climbing stage of the MyWhoosh Championships!
