Inside The Race - Ep.8 - Stage 2 of the MyWhoosh Championship review & more

Episode 8 of Inside The Race – The MyWhoosh Racing Podcast is the second of the post stage shows for the 2026 MyWhoosh Championship stage race. Stage 2 of the MyWhoosh Championship stage race saw both the men and women take on exactly the same course with what turned out to be 12 different races unfolding over the roads of California. With the first of the big ascents, the Cat 1 Country Climb, offering three times as many points for the win compared to any of the previous climbs. Would it provoke the GC favourites out or would the climbers take advantage for GC? – we highlight the big movers and shakers on the day! We go behind the bars with climbing specialist Kristen Kulchinsky who joins Hayley in her love of the Endurance climb and with Ruben Dhont who weighs up a top 3 GC or a Sprints win overall. We then get Hayley’s take on stage 3 when we head to the home of MyWhoosh in the Abu Dhabi and get her advice for the men on a climb they have never raced on!
