Cycling Legends Podcast

In the latest episode, Chris, David and Gary look back on a Vuelta a Espana that saw Slovenia wrap up its clean sweep of this year's men's Grand Tours. After Lotte Kopecky and Demi Vollering go the line again in Romandie, the team ponder their favourite cycling in-house spats. Plus Paralympic Gold for Lizzie Jordan and Danni Khan in Paris and Gary's even been to an actual bike race.

All this a more in a whopping NINETY-SEVEN MINUTE (count 'em) Feed Zone from Cycling Legends Media.
