Gruppetto - the Dutch cycling podcast
The podcast discusses the race and everything around it from the cosy cycling café Doetinchem. Stories from the past and present come together: the battle, the relaxation and much more. The podcast can be listened to via Spotify and Apple podcasts since 27 April 2020. Since March there has been an upgrade of the technical equipment, which makes it sound even better now!
The term 'Gruppetto' refers to a group of riders at the back of the race during the mountain stages of stage races. Usually, these are the sprinters and time trialists who have no interest in finishing in front or helpers who have dropped out and just make sure they reach the finish in time. In Dutch, the name for this is 'de bus', a term coined by Gerrie Knetemann. The Italian name was chosen as the name for the podcast.
In the latest podcast, you'll hear driver and former stage winner Jelle Nijdam, amateur rider and future groom Jesse Reith, power cyclist and young father Arno Daleman and pub owner and peddler Gerrit Geuvers talking. Together they discuss the race, the gossip and their own achievements.
