The March episode of The Cycling Podcast Féminin, with Orla Chennaoui, Rose Manley and Richard Moore, includes the latest racing news, including the first event of the Women's World Tour, Strade Bianche, won by a resurgent Annemiek van Vleuten.

There's an interview with Nicole Hanselmann, the Swiss rider who had to stop when, during her solo escape, she caught the men's field at Het Nieuwsblad. It was a story that made international headlines, but Hanselmann tells us what actually happened.

Orla meets Jip van den Bos, the young Dutchwoman who rides for Boels-Dolmans and was the recent winner of Le Samyn des Dames. 

And there's a tribute to Kelly Catlin, whose tragic death has shocked the cycling world. The 23-year-old, a world champion and Olympic silver medallist, was an early guest on the podcast. We revisit her interview and hear a tribute from her former coach, Andy Sparks.
