Since we last recorded Justin has taken up the role of head sprint coach at USA cycling and we peel back the curtain on why the sleeping giant has never really realised it's potential and what the plans are for the upcoming home Olympic Games.

On this weeks episode we speak to recent double world champion, Olympic silver medallist and now retired, Julie Norman Leth. Julie, by far, has had one of the most interesting stories of 2024, from having a baby in January to winning two world titles at her home track in Denmark. But before that, we understand the journey that led up to that moment and how little support there was for Julie coming out of juniors and how despite this she ultimately realised her success. Very few are as lucky to have such a perfect send off, we had a great time chatting with her and we hope you enjoy!
