The former bassist of the Sex Pistols, long nails on race day and crosswinds all connect with Sidney Swierenga. Find out how in this episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast. In early May, Swierenga landed on the podium of the Grand Prix du Morbihan Femmes in France. While the second-place finish marked her first elite-level result, she’s no stranger to medals. In 2025, Swierenga was second overall at both the Redlands Bicycle Classic (one of her favourite races) and Tour of the Gila. She also won a stage and the GC of the Tour du Gévaudan Occitanie Femmes. Those 2025 results caught the attention of the Liv AlUla Jayco Women's Continental Team, to which Swierenga signed for this season. In this episode, you can find out about what’s ahead for the rider and, you know, what Sid Vicious has to do with it.
