Joining me today is one of Australia's most iconic sports commentators - Mike Tomalaris. With 25 years of experience calling the Tour de France, Mike has become synonymous with Australian cycling and it was a pleasure to chat with him. We discuss it all, from the humble beginnings at his first tour to the powerhouse team at SBS including Robbie McEwen, Bridie O'Donnell & David McKenzie. Mike discusses cycling's checkered past and the era of doping and how that has impacted the sport today. Most importantly, we share our mutual admiration for Julian Alaphilippe... my favourite in the peloton.

As always, the focus of the episode is on exploring issues of mental health and what an amazing guest to discuss it with. Mike has done some amazing work to increase awareness of mental health in Australia with foundations like the Black Dog Institute & the 6 Minute Challenge.

I can't thank Mike enough for giving up some of his time, this was an amazing episode and I hope you enjoy it.
