On this episode of Coffee and Van Chat - I sit down in my van and chat with ex world tour pro/ strava KOM hunter and my short lived teammate Phil Gaimon. I have watched Phil as I entered the sport of cycling and then I heard he was possibly going to join us on the track. Unfortunately Phil would gone on to have a horrible crash and miss out on our 2019 World Cup campaign chasing the 2020 Olympic Games which we would fall short of.
