    Adam Hansen on rider safety, the future of cycling, and his overflowing inbox

    This week on the GTCC we've got another racing debrief from G. He's fresh off Catalunya where he enjoyed a solid week and where Ambassador De Pluski rode to a strong second on the final stage and a top 10 overall. And then we've got a bumper interview for you. Adam Hansen, the President of the CPA (essentially, the riders' union), joins us for a lengthy chat about his role, how he helps the riders, and the sheer breadth of topics his job covers. It gives a fascinating perspective on the considerations at play for all types of major decisions in professional road cycling. We hope you enjoy this one.

    G's final Milan San Remo and a golfing lesson with Daryl Impey

    This week on the GTCC it's a hefty debrief of G's final Milan San Remo and a soggy opening day at the Volta a Catalunya. He's been a busy boy. Oh, and the team bus ran out of hot water. Long story. After G updates you all on that, it's time to head back a couple of months to sunnier times, and G's trip to Australia. While he was there, he headed to the driving range with his old, old teammate from Barloworld, Daryl Impey. Impey's a cult hero of the sport, a South African who wore the yellow jersey at the Tour and forged a brilliant career for himself. They chatted about the evolution of the sport across their careers, retirement transitions... and if G will ever get decent at golf. It's a cracker. We're just not sure we'll ever run Daryl's proposed GTCC Golf Day. Join us for this week's GTCC ROUVY ride right here: https://riders.rouvy.com/events/72d92560-01bc-4e07-b3d1-ce8a0f4f7d95.

    Ben Swift on his shared cycling journey with G, transitioning from sprinter to domestique, and taking a trip down memory lane

    Can you imagine racing against each other as kids round a park in Manchester and just a few years later you find yourselves at the top of the sport, winning some of the biggest races around? That's G and Swifty. With G's career coming to an end we thought it was time to finally welcome 'Swifty' to the GTCC - and take a big old trip down memory lane. It didn't disappoint. From leading Swifty out to his first major win at the Tour Down Under many moons ago, to Swifty becoming domestique deluxe to help G to a multitude of big wins over the years, these two have been through a lot together since those early days racing as juniors. And to be honest, Tom could have let them chat away for hours. Maybe we will one day. In the land of ROUVY, we're tackling part of the IRONMAN 70.3 Staffordshire route for this week's GTCC social ride.

  7. Caleb Ewan on joining INEOS Grenadiers, his ambitions for 2025, and how Pog can win Milan-San Remo

    Caleb Ewan on joining INEOS Grenadiers, his ambitions for 2025, and how Pog can win Milan-San Remo

    The cycling world wondered what would happen to Caleb Ewan this season. Seemingly on his way out of Jayco Alula, where was he going to end up? INEOS swooped in, midway through January, and now have themselves a top level sprinter. Exciting, right? G certainly thinks so, and is delighted the team have signed a close friend. He called him up and, following the move, we thought it was the right time to get Caleb back to talk about it. Why did he leave Jayco? Did he ever consider stopping? What can we expect in 2025? Will he be at the Tour? He answers all of those - and plenty more besides. Enjoy.

    De Pluski's back with some hot gossip and our 2025 season preview

    It's been far too long. GTCC members the world over have been writing in to ask: when will he be back? Well, he's back. Yes, Ambassador De Pluski is back on the pod - and he's back in action with G. The Volta ao Algarve kicks off this week and the duo will be tackling the climbs of southern Portugal against the likes of Roglic, Vingegaard and Wout van Aert. It should be a cracker. With De Pluski back on the pod, we thought we'd take the opportunity to pick his brain and hold our first GTCC preview of the season. Can Pog win San Remo? Will he ride Roubaix? Can Vingegaard reclaim his Tour throne? Why is Roglic riding the Giro? There's lots to discuss and boy oh boy are we excited for the 2025 season.

They’ve spent 20 years together at Leicester Tigers, toured together for the British and Irish Lions, and now podcast together every week. They'll bring you their ultimate guide to rugby's biggest games, give you a behind the scenes tour of Twickenham, and tell you what really happens inside an England camp.
