We start by eulogising Pog's career, and paying our respects to what he gave us and the sport. Yes we're all grieving, deeply sad, and grateful at the same time. Big feelings, big meaning.

We then shift into a conversation with Nick Owen!

Nick’s a sports scientist and cycling coach, based in Melbourne, Australia. He works with road and track cyclists at Olympic, Paralympic, and World tour level, the top domestic pro's in Australia’s newly formed ProVelo Super league, and also masters guns and emerging junior talent.

This conversation goes deeper into the coaching, training, sports science and performance aspects of cycling, and really is a rare chance to hear from the horse's mouth on the ins and outs of top cycling performance and what it takes.**

We also discuss recent races from more of a spectator point of view, and what us non-elite cyclists can do to bring out our best on the bike.**

Enjoy!
