77. Orla Chennaoui, the face of pro cycling

Cyclist Magazine Podcast

Joining Emma and Robyn this week is Orla Chennaoui, lead presenter of Eurosport’s cycling coverage. Chennaoui has become synonymous with cycling, but it wasn’t always the case. She talks us through how she came to work in the sport, her favourite cycling rivalry and the growth of women’s cycling. She also shares her hidden talent (spoiler, it’s a good one), discusses sticking to her values and explains why her Instagram bio reads ‘balls may drop’.

Interview begins at 3m15

This episode is also supported by H.V.M.N, the creators of Ketone-IQ.

We hear a lot about ketones in the pro peloton, but what are they?

According to the experts H.V.M.N, ketones are a natural source of fuel for your body. When stored carbs are depleted, your body starts to convert fat into ketones. Studies show that ketones are 28% more efficient than glucose, making them a super-efficient fuel source for the brain and the body.

These benefits led H.V.M.N to create Ketone-IQ: a drinkable ketone designed to support energy, focus and endurance.

Developed alongside the U.S. military, Ketone-IQ is one of the most powerful ketone supplements on the market. It’s designed to elevate your ketone levels for up to 4 hours – much longer than other products. Plus, it’s vegan, caffeine free, and compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency’s guidelines. That’s a major win for athletes.

Ketone-IQ Shots are the best way to get your ketones on the go. They’re portable, convenient, and fit perfectly in your pocket during a ride or a race.

You can save 20% on Ketone-IQ using the promo code CYCLIST at https://hvmn.com/CYCLIST?
