In episode 112, I chat with the absolute A1 huma, Kim Cadzow. In just her second year on the WWT, Kim has already amassed amazing results, such as 6th in LBL, 10th on GC at the Vuelta, and 8th on GC at Suisse. Not only is Kim Cadzow a huge talent, but she is also an awesome chat!

Kim and I discussed EF’s new co-sponsor, Oatly, and what it’s like to be on the EF team. We laugh about the weird gifts the team receives and chat about New Zealand and what Kim enjoys most about her hometown.

In episode 111, we chat to Antonia Niedermaier, the young climbing sensation from Canyon-Sram. Antonia burst on to the scene this time last year, winning a mountain stage at the Giro at just 20 years of age before winning the U/23 ITT World Title. We learn more about Antonia’s road to the World Tour, her hometown and hobbies, and how ski-mountaineering played a big part in her development.

In episode 107, I catch up with the loveable sprinter Jensen Plowright from Alpecin–Deceuninck. We catch up after a long time between drinks, and the result is very entertaining. We discuss the Giro and whether Caleb Ewan will get back to the top step this month, and Jensen explains the stresses of hectic sprint stages. We chat a bit about tech and the end-of-year China races, and I throw Jensen a couple of “would you rather" that I know will have you all in stitches. Enjoy.
