For Graeme Brown, a dual-gold medallist, and three-time Olympian who won gold alongside Brett Lancaster, Brad McGee, Luke Roberts in the teams’ pursuit at Athens in 2004 before linking up with Stuart O’Grady to win the Madison is stoked the drought is over.

Despite the five Olympic cycles separating the two victories, Brown's passion for the track hasn’t wavered. We talk track and some road racing that’s been.

After the penultimate stage at this year's Tour of Qinghai Lake I cracked a beer with Australian Jensen Plowright. The 24-year-old had nabbed his first professional victory on the opening day of the tour and doubled up on stage 5, it's been journey for him to get to podium's top step.

Despite this monumental step forward in his career we unsurprisingly talked about the cutlery set Jensen was all to happy to be taking home before touching on the racing.

*FYI There's a few swear words, but that not that many.
