In this episode of Zone2Speak, I sit down with Sjors Beukeboom, journalist, filmmaker, and founder of Nafent Magazine, to explore the stories behind the sport.

Sjors has worked both inside and outside the pro peloton, including with Movistar Team, giving him a rare perspective on what cycling looks like from within and how it is presented to the world.

Because cycling is not just what we see on race day. It is the quiet moments, the unseen struggles, the human dynamics that rarely make it into highlights.

We talk about how he found his way into storytelling, the creation of Nafent, and why places like Girona have become cultural hubs for riders and creatives alike.

This is a conversation about perspective. About what we choose to show. And about the moments that define the sport, even when no one is watching.
