Amid the extreme weather conditions of this year's Tour of Italy, we witnessed Stage 15: the ascent of Col du Galibier. Just how bad was the weather? We interview Stefan Wyman about the current status of women's professional cycling in the UK and also find out what it takes to ride from one end of the country to the other. Are you eating the right things before and after rides - we get scientific about nutrition to make sure you get the most from your summer riding!
