Rory Patrick Townsend is a former Irish Road Champ and has been the most consistent rider on the Q36.5 Team this season. He excels in sprints at the end of a hard race day and we chat about how he prepares for these in his training (it’s probably not what you’d expect). He has finished inside the top ten an impressive 14 times this season so far.

Rory is also one of the very few pro cyclists to base himself in the UK throughout the season. He has some interesting answers to the standard training questions that are very relatable for listeners not fortunate enough to live in a sunny cycling hotspot year-round.

What surprised you most about Rory’s training?
