Customer Reviews
Informative cycling stuff!
And I appreciate they’re not too afraid to broach the doping topic.
Ain’t nothing wrong w/ a protest at a bike race
Climate change is a little more important than the Tour de France, don’t go all Wiggo and deny it.
If I bought a gun for someone that they then used to murder an innocent young person, due to my involvement with them: I would seriously consider offing myself. This makes me question the entire morality of the cycling world, is it that cut throat?
Really enjoyable podcast
Great conversation between two smart guys. They don’t seem jaded / bored like some of the other cycling podcast hosts. Instead of talking exclusively about the local grapes on the TdF, they focus on the races, teams and racers. I’ve listened to a lot of Tour focused podcasts, and this is my favorite.
