Next, Shoddy caught up with Joe Laverick, CyclingTips contributor and professional cyclist for Hagens Berman AXEON, who is currently navigating how he will get to Europe to race. 

And finally, Ronan talked to Myles McCorry of Galibier, a cycling clothing brand out of Northern Ireland, to see how the new rules have impacted business.
