Customer Reviews
One of my favourite podcasts!
I’ve really enjoyed every episode to date. It’s existence has been timed nicely with the start of my own track adventure in masters racing.
An excellent and informative insight
An excellent and informative insight from the prodigal sons of podcasting into a niche sport with otherwise minimal coverage. As someone who is no longer part of the sport it’s been perfect to keep abreast of current track cycling events. I particularly like how it’s casual nature (along with familiar voices) makes it feel very accessible and the opportunity to hear and get to know riders from outside of the UK whom I otherwise wouldn’t know much about. Great daily roundup of worlds this week too, keep up the good work
Great podcast
I’m loving these shows, the Worlds round up shoes are a perfect overview of everybody with plenty of behind the scenes insights
