Bobby and Jens

Matthew White has been a Director Sportif for Team Jayco–AlUla since they entered the World Tour as Orica Green-Edge back in 2017. But to Bobby and Jens, he’s still their old mate Whitey. We hear about his route into the professional peloton, from the tiny Australian team he shared with Jens to the mighty Discovery - hear about his Tour de France heartbreak as a rider… and victories as a team boss. We discover the truth about the team bus that got wedged under the Tour de France finish line and what he thinks needs to change in the world of professional cycling to keep the sport fair.

Matej Mohorič has built his reputation on his grit, determination and pioneering descents. He was pedaling in the super tuck on his way to winning the U23 World Championship in 2013... and later used a new innovation - the dropper post - to his first monument win, securing the 2022 Milan San-Remo title. His interview in the aftermath of his third Tour de France victory this year, united a peloton in admiration. Few had the ability to express the challenges Matej had faced in professional cycling but every single pro understood the feelings he expressed. In this conversation with Bobby and Jens we catch up with Matej shortly before his family holiday!

Professional cycling is a battlefield, it can be hard to stand out, harder still to survive. At the continental level it can be even tougher. Sponsorship issues and losing your best riders to the World Tour means bosses need to think outside the box in order to survive. Richard Pascoe certainly is a blue sky thinker - for the last five years Saint Piran have turned from a domestic club team into a powerhouse - dominating the podiums in the UK and giving the best track riders in Britain a shot at a road programme. We speak to Richard Pascoe about how his team is breaking the mould from keeping their jersey sponsor free, to their ambitious plans to become carbon neutral.. oh and how they plan to stop Wout Van Aert, Tom Pidcock and Co at the Tour of Britain.

Rob Hatch has been the voice of some of modern cycling's most incredible moments - Pogacar beating Roglic in the 2020 Tour de France finale; to the older Slovene's revenge in this year's Giro his words have become as memorable as the pictures that he married them to. But as Bobby and Jens learn, the role is far from straightforward. This eye opening conversation highlights the incredible lengths he goes to in order to prepare for a race, how he manages with remote broadcasts and the changes to his job as full day broadcasts become the norm. We get a full guide around his home studio, discover his route into the sport, why he loves the sport of cycling in the first place and how he kept broadcasting when tragedy hit the peloton.

Last year Dan Martin released his autobiography 'Chased by Pandas' which shared his unfiltered view of his career. While many autobiographies focus on their career highlights - Dan made the decision to focus on his fears as a cyclist - from the juniors to retirement. He joined us to reflect on his career - looking back on his junior career, racing with his dad and winning the British junior nationals before moving to represent Ireland. He also lifts the lid on following his cousin Nico Roche and Uncle Stephen Roche 'in the family business' sharing a room with Daryl Impey with La Pomme Marseilles and his steps into the peloton with Garmin. Plus why Liege-Bastogne-Liege is his favourite race, how he's helping pro athletes now and how you can ride with Dan

Bobby and Jens spoke to Kevin Vermaerke just days after the "hardest ever world championship road race" in Glasgow to discuss why this wunderkind is getting American cycling fans excited. We discover how he killed the time during the protest on course, his thoughts of leading the race and what it's like to tackle a challenging course that was raced so aggressively. He lined up at the 2022 Tour de France as the second youngest rider on the start line, by the tame his second shot at La Grande Boucle came around... he was still the third youngest.

Kevin shares his thoughts about growing up in USA cycling's youth programme and spending time as a teenager living in the nation of his father - Belgium. Winning Liege-Bastogne-Liege as an U23 rider for Axel Merckx team and we look ahead to his future as he reveals his plans for the future with DSM-Firmenich.

Filippo Ganna is utterly unique in the men’s peloton. At the time of recording Filippo was just a week short of his 27th birthday yet he has a palmares that is remarkable in its breadth and scale - he’s won six stages at the Giro d’Italia - including five straight time trial stages… and a mountainous breakaway. He’s the reigning hour record holder, yet finished second at this years’ Milan San Remo. He spoke to us just before winning his first week-long stage race at the Tour of Wallonie as he prepares for the Cycling Super World Championships in Glasgow and La Vuelta…. Where he’ll be looking to add to his six track world titles and his two world time trial titles… and did we mention he’s also a reigning Olympic champion? 

Filippo speaks to us of the brotherhood of cycling, his plans for the future in the sport and shares his thoughts about life on the road.
