Spencer Martin is widely considered one of the sharpest minds in modern cycling analysis. As the creator of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter and podcast, Spencer has built a loyal following for his data-driven, narrative-rich takes on the world’s biggest races. He’s also the producer behind The Move, the popular WEDU podcast hosted by Lance Armstrong. In this episode, JP and Spencer explore how a kid growing up in rural Kansas in the early 2000s found cycling and built a career around it—eventually working with some of the sport’s biggest names.

This conversation is more than just power numbers and podiums. JP and Spencer dive into some of the most unforgettable races from the past two decades, sharing insight and personal memories that highlight what makes the sport so magnetic. And in true Stable Cyclist fashion, they close the episode with a spirited detour into Harry Potter—proving that you can be both a high-level tactician and a true fan at heart. Whether you're a hardcore roadie or just love great storytelling, this episode delivers.
