Join us in the back of the team bus as we road trip to the Vuelta Feminina. If you don’t know who Kim is yet, we think you should. Kim is brand new to the sport of cycling. Three years ago, she was a teenager in New Zealand who had never even raced a bike and if you had told her that she would be competing for the win at one of cycling’s biggest races, she probably wouldn’t have believed you. But a few weeks ago, at Liège-Bastogne-Liège, she did just that.
Kim tells us how she came to the sport of cycling, how she has gotten comfortable stepping out of her comfort zone, her favorite road trip snacks, and what her hopes and dreams are for her career.

This season you’ve seen our men’s and women’s squads wearing an unreleased helmet from our partners over at POC. Its look is definitely eye-catching and there’s no shortage of opinions about how it looks, but the numbers and results speak for themselves. Plus, to quote Alison Jackson, we think the squad looks great in them. POC’s all new Procen Air helmet has already earned wins at races like Milano-Torino and Omloop van het Hageland and has quickly become a favorite among our riders. The Procen Air is not only one of POC’s fastest road helmets ever, it does so without compromising on safety.
We speak with Magnus Gustavsson, POC’s Hard Goods Director and engineer behind the Procen Air, as well as Andreas Klier, our team’s technical Operations and Commercial Manager who oversees equipment for EF Pro Cycling. He also had a lot to do with the inception of our newest helmet but more on that later. These two share the story behind the Procen Air’s development, how POC always ensure they are going above and beyond on safety, and what the future looks like for cycling helmets.

Veronica Ewers and Owain Doull join us for this episode where we discuss mental health. Trigger warning, we briefly mention suicide. Owain and Veronica talk about the ups and downs they’ve experienced with mental health both as individuals and as professional athletes. We cover everything from the importance of being open about the times they’ve struggled, the ways in which they take care of themselves, how becoming a parent has changed Owain’s outlook, and the importance of community.
