Nikita and I talk about our biggest turn offs in cycling. We discuss Di2 being overrated, look at the new Colnago Steelnovo and talk about group riding vs solo riding.

Nikita asks me about my favourite long sleeve jerseys and we dive in to the story of Fred Schmid, the 92 year old gravel racer who took part in Unbound this year.

Bikefit James talks all things bikes, from going tubeless to expensive saddle bags and why your cranks are too long.Apologies for some slight audio bleeding in this video. I will make sure James wears headphones next time to avoid this!

Diego is the head of content production for one of the biggest brands in cycling - Kask. I owe so much to Diego for any success i've had over the past 4 years and in this episode we talk about what it's like to work for a huge cycling brand, making content with top athletes and ambassadors.

A very special episode of the podcast, with 2024 Tour de France Femme stage winner, Cedrine Kerbaol. Cedrine has won the Tour de Normandie, the french national TT championship, the White jersety in the Tour de France Femme avec Zwift 2023 and Stage 6 of the Tour de France Femme avec Zwift 2024. What an incredible career so far, with so much more to come!

Jack works in the RAF and found a love for Triathlon and making content on social media. The rise in his following and race results have been impressive and the future looks incredibly bright!
