Vollering vs Niewiadoma: Racing Dirty & Cycling’s History of Unsporting Behaviour
Description
When does racing hard become racing dirty? In this episode of the Roadman Cycling Podcast, we unpack the controversy surrounding Demi Vollering and Kasia Niewiadoma, and explore cycling’s long history of unsporting behaviour — from barrier battles and headbutts to Eddy Merckx being punched on the Puy de Dôme. It’s a look at intent, unwritten rules, controversial decisions, and the grey zone where competitive racing crosses the line.
