Episode 73.

An absolute must listen episode.

I've known Marcus Bloomfield since we were kids and his story is incredible.

From Bristol BMX Club beginnings, Marcus worked his way to Elite British Championship titles and onto Team GB. That's an incredible story in itself for most people.

He then moved onto the coaching team at British Cycling before landing not one but two Olympic medals with his athletes Bethany Shriever and Kye Whyte.

Prepare to laugh, cry and be inspired.

Bloomy. One of the good guys.
