Welcome to The Mettleset Podcast! This is Episode 2 of our special three-part series taking you behind the scenes at the UAE Tour Women—the Middle East’s first and only Women’s WorldTour race, held from February 6-9, 2025.  

I go BTS in Human Powered Health  team’s support car during Stage *, the final stage of the race. Riding alongside Communications Director Oscar Skarsbrook and Soigneur Jose Leite—also known as a swanny,the ultimate Swiss Army knife of a cycling team—I get an exclusive look at the inner workings of a pro cycling team on race day.  

In our support van chat, we discuss: 

• 🚲 The role of a support team in pro cycling  
• 🚲 The dynamics of race-day logistics  
• 🚲 Human Powered Health’s mission and team culture  
• 🚲 The importance of soigneurs in keeping a team on the road  
• 🚲 The Embrace Every Moment  series by Wahoo  

A huge thank you to Oscar, Jose, and the entire Human Powered Health team for this unforgettable experience.
