257,7 km davon 60 km Kopfsteinpflaster, die Hölle des Nordens, die letzte große Schlacht im Radsport - Der Sieger erhält einen Pave als Trophäe.

Für Andi Rottler ist Paris Roubaix das absolute Lieblingsrennen, von dem er seit 25 Jahren keine Auflage verpasst hat. Als Direktor Sportsmarketing von Merida, ist er heute ganz nah dran. Sonny Colbrelli, Bahrain/Merida erkämpfte sich bei Regen und Matsch den Sieg und verwirklichte damit Andi seinen größten Kindheitstraum, den 17 kg Sieger Pave einmal selber in Händen zu halten.

Wie sich das angefühlt hat und über den langen Weg zum Sieg erzählt Andi mit vielen spannenden Hintergründen.

Tom Ritchey has something very special to celebrate - his 50th anniversary of building his first bike frame. This is not the typical Tom Ritchey interview about how he started his company.

This conversation is about the inspiration and motivation a 15-year-old boy, living in Palo Alto/California had in 1972, thinking and doing it. What and who drove him to fix used things and make them better, instead of buying new ones? How did he find out, to do all this, in times without Google and YouTube? Since Tom has many great stories to tell, his anniversary story comes in two episodes.

Enjoy the ride, going back to Tom’s future.

Mit der Silbermedaille bei der WM in Durango/USA 1990 startete Thomas Frischknecht seine außergewöhnliche und erfolgreiche Mountainbike Rennkarriere. Vor 20 Jahren legte er als Teammanager mit dem Scott Swisspower Mountainbike Team den Grundstein für die Erfolgsstory Nino Schurter.

Die Saison 21 war voller Herausforderungen und Druck für Frischi und sein Team. Corona, World-Cup Rennen ohne Zuschauer und ein 4-ter Platz von Nino bei Olympia in Tokyo. Der Europameistertitel von Lars Forster brachte die Wende. Der harte Lernprozess wurde am Ende mit dem 9-ten WM-Titel von Nino belohnt. Ende gut - alles gut und darauf ein Glas Bocca di Lupo.
