In episode 114, I catch up with besties Alex Manly and Georgia Baker ahead of their Paris Olympics campaign on the track for Australia. We discuss the interesting things about the Olympic games such as the rooms, kits and strange items the athletes receive. Alex and Georgia explain the preparation for the games that the Teams Pursuit squad have been undertaking, is it harder than preparing for a Tour de France? As always, there is plenty of banter and random topics covered, too. Be sure to cheer on the Australian track team next week when the events begin.

In episode 112, I chat with the absolute A1 huma, Kim Cadzow. In just her second year on the WWT, Kim has already amassed amazing results, such as 6th in LBL, 10th on GC at the Vuelta, and 8th on GC at Suisse. Not only is Kim Cadzow a huge talent, but she is also an awesome chat!

Kim and I discussed EF’s new co-sponsor, Oatly, and what it’s like to be on the EF team. We laugh about the weird gifts the team receives and chat about New Zealand and what Kim enjoys most about her hometown.

In episode 107, I catch up with the loveable sprinter Jensen Plowright from Alpecin–Deceuninck. We catch up after a long time between drinks, and the result is very entertaining. We discuss the Giro and whether Caleb Ewan will get back to the top step this month, and Jensen explains the stresses of hectic sprint stages. We chat a bit about tech and the end-of-year China races, and I throw Jensen a couple of “would you rather" that I know will have you all in stitches. Enjoy.
