Helping to grow my love of cycling

I just wanted to leave a comment for you and the team Matt. I love this podcast, the cycling knowledge, coupled with the humour and randomness has me smiling often.

On a wider level, I’ve really got into my cycling since 2020, both watching and doing and I have to say you have helped my love grow. Whether it’s the podcasts, or clips from the Giro or your involvement at this years TdF you have certainly had an impact on this newbie.
(As well as the big GCN Eurosport team) Thanks again Tom.
