In this weeks episode I chat with the popular cycling journalist and talented writer, Kate Wagner. Kate and I discuss what it was like getting to know Primoz Roglic, Matej Mohorič & Gino Mader on a deeper level during her profiling quests. We talk about her very Tour de France as a cycling journalist and what it was like featuring on the #1 cycling podcast as an audio diarist, The Cycling Podcast.

The Roglic Article - a must read!

In this weeks episode I catch up with Australian ITT champion and our own Aussie super talent, Sarah Gigante. Sarah talks us through her first season as a full time pro in Europe, competing at the Tokyo Olympics, stepping up to the World Tour with Movistar and what her fastest time on the Alp Du Zwift is. 

In episode 2 I catch up with Brenton Jones, the 2019 Australian Criterium Champion and former Pro-Tour cyclist with Delko-KTM. Brenton shares his stories of his journey to a pro contract in Europe. We hear about the racing the UK domestic scene at its prime, competing with the best sprinters in the world, winning his National title and of course, what it's really like racing Paris Roubaix.

The Press Room Podcast kicks off with Ride WA's own Brendon Morrison and Rebecca Cotton. Brendon and Rebecca two are the masterminds behind the biggest race in Western Australia. The Tour of Margaret River (TOMR).

TOMR is a 4 stage race where teams of 6 compete for teams and individual classifications. Over the years, as the race has grown in popularity it has lured some of the best riders in the world to attend, race and even commentate. That list includes two of the GOATS, Marianne Vos,  Annameik Van Vluten, Robbie McEwan, Jens Voight, Luke Durbridge, Mitch Docker, Jess Allen and many more.

The purpose of this episode is to shine a light on how a race like this starts off the ground. We learn how the race grew to what it has become today and some great stories along the way.

I hope you all enjoy this episode and I will see you down at the TOMR. For those listening outside of WA or even Australia. Get in touch, TOMR is open for any rider from anywhere, and there isn't too many places more beautiful to ride than our south west.

Enjoy my friends,
