Introducing Classified Connects
A new podcast is here, produced by Classified. It starts with a story worth hearing.
We've been telling stories since Classified began, but some stories don't fit in a caption. So we built somewhere for them to live: Classified Connects.
A new podcast celebrating what connects us through cycling. The connection to the ride, to each other, and to the stories that bring our community together.
Every episode brings together industry leaders, cycling legends, Classified riders, and the people behind the scenes of a sport we all love, for authentic conversations that don't have easy answers. One conversation at a time, every other week throughout the launch period.
Meet the Host
Kirstine Frida Rysbjerg
If you follow the Classified Collective, you already know her name. But you might not know her full story.
Kirstine is a gravel rider, a storyteller, and one of the voices behind Classified Connects. She is the kind of person who does not just ride hard but asks why, and then finds a way to share it with everyone around her.

July 22 2026.
Tom Boonen and Marcel Kittel sit down with Kirstine to talk about what it felt like to be in the peloton, the bond that forms between riders when the road gets hard, and the lives they are building on the other side of their careers.
Two careers that defined an era. One honest conversation.
