    Episode 136: Sam Bewley -- the Tour de France (and more!) Episode

    It’s July so it’s Tour de France time! I’m thrilled to have our guest on the podcast, Sam Bewley. A Tour de France rider himself, a Tour commentator and sports director, we're here to shed light on what's happening now two weeks into a very exciting Tour.
    Sam is a New Zealander living in Europe, courtesy of the bicycle. He won a world championship medalist on the track, then  graduated to the World Tour and had a successful, lengthy, thirteen year career there. 
    Sam is now a sports director with Israel Premier Tech as well as a new father. Yeehaw!

    Episode 135: Daniel Oss -- World Tour Pro Turned Gravel Pro

    Episode 135: Daniel Oss -- World Tour Pro Turned Gravel Pro

    Daniel Oss is the man. This long time World Tour professional raced on some of the biggest teams alongside some of the biggest names in the sport. From Liquigas to BMC to Bora-Hansgrohe to TotalEnergies, he was easy to pick out from the bunch with his rock-star long hair. He was also nearly always at the front and often pulling Peter Sagan along to victory.
    He's now a gravel privateer as well as a commentator for EuroSport, taking on UCI races as well as Unbound. 
    Ted and Daniel were teammates for two years beginning in 2011 and this was a very fun catch up at a brewery in Emporia, KS a few days before Unbound.

    Episode 132: Matej Mohoric -- UCI Gravel World Champion, TdF Stage winner (x3), Coming to Unbound!

    Episode 132: Matej Mohoric -- UCI Gravel World Champion, TdF Stage winner (x3), Coming to Unbound!

    There are certain people to watch for the win on any UCI road race start line and Matej Mohoric is certainly among them. He's won the road world championships as a junior and then u-23 rider, he's won three stages of the Tour de France, plus one stages each in the Giro and Vuelta. He tallied a monument, dramatically winning Milan-San Remo, dramatically in the first known case of a race win on a dropper seatpost. Last fall he took home the rainbow jersey in the UCI Gravel World Championship and this weekend he will race his second ever gravel race at Unbound.
    Matej is a former teammate of mine and I loved talking to this young whippersnapper a decade ago with a new fresh perspective to cycling. He's always been wildly curious and brought a freshness to cycling well ahead of his time.
    And if you haven't seen his post Tour de France stage win interview, it's the kind of thing that will melt your heart. Watch that here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjTROQR9pHQ

    Episode 131: Geerike "Gee" Schreurs -- Pro Soigneur Turned Pro Cyclist

    Episode 131: Geerike "Gee" Schreurs -- Pro Soigneur Turned Pro Cyclist

    Many people who end up among the infrastructure of cycling begin as cyclists themselves. If they make it to the professional ranks, they often segue to professional cycling as mechanics, team directors, team managers, or soigneurs. It's rare that the timetable is reverse and they go from a professional soigneur to a professional cyclist, but that's exactly the scenario which "Gee" has experienced.
    Now one of the fastest women in gravel, Gee raced under the SD Works banner and has taken wins and podiums in UCI races and... well, quite frankly most of the gravel events she's raced. She podiumed at the Traka 360 this year, has bounced around between Europe and the United States this spring, and that allowed this meet up in Emporia, Kansas one week away from Unbound.
    Follow along with Gee at her instagram, @geegeertje

Great to hear Derek Teel

I always listen to King of the Ride and love the interviews, but this one was special. I “discovered “ Derek Teel on a podcast just before his accident and immediately added his content. I was horrified with his accident, along with everyone else he had touched. Thank you Ted for having Derek on so we could hear how he’s doing.

Top tier show. Great work - looking forward to all of the new episodes

Just discovered “King of the Ride” - Great pod

I especially enjoyed Ted’s interviews with Derek Teen (I actually joined Dialed Health based on the interview) and Alexy Vermeulen. Alexy’s commitment to service is something we should all cultivate.
