This week, James and Will are joined by the superest of super domestiques, Welshman Luke Rowe. As road captain at Ineos Grenediers (nee Team Sky), Rowe helped win countless Grand Tours over more than a decade at the British team. However complications from a crash forced Rowe to retire last season, and here he talks about how that decision played out, and about reconstructing his life after pro-riding.

In this episode, Luke also talks about the impact of team DS, Nico Portal's, untimely death at Sky; putting others' success ahead of his own; the dangers of cycling and crashing; getting stuck into his new role as directeur sportif at AG2R-La Mondiale; and writing his first book, Road Captain: My Life at the Heart of the Peloton, published by Penguin.
