Tom Dumoulin was one of the most successful riders of his generation. A Giro d'Italia winner, a world TT champion, a stage winner at every grand tour and an Olympic medallist.

His decision to step away from cycling during 2021 shocked the sport, and Tom admitted he'd lost his passion for the sport. When he returned few expected him to return to his competitive best. But Tom was able to secure a second Olympic medal in Tokyo.

This wide ranging conversation with Bobby and Jens sees Tom explore his inadvertent entry into the world of professional cycling, why he lost his love and how he rediscovered his verve for the sport. He discusses what's changed since he left the sport, the riders he admires... and the radical solution to cycling's inequality problem that he picked up at this year's Tour de France.

This conversation sees Bobby and Jens pressing him on everything from the best way to fix a collarbone to carbon monoxide's use in the peloton and learn why you should never drive a friend to hospital with a concussion.

Riley Sheehan is in his first full year in the pro peloton. Last year as a stagiaire he lived every rider's dream - winning one of cycling's oldest classics, Paris-Tours. The result led to him being signed to a three year deal by Israel Premier Tech where he's followed up his strong first act with a solid performance in the spring classics.

But Riley's route to the world tour was far from conventional, battling through the French amateur system, returning to the US and racing alongside former Sky man Sergio Henao on the criterium circuit before returning to Europe.. hopefully for good. He spoke to Bobby and Jens from a pre-Vuelta altitude camp in Andorra.
