The Cooldown Show

The Cooldown is a show based around the mens and women's Lifetime Grand Prix with Alexey Vermeulen, Keegan Swenson, Sofia Gomez Villafane and Ruth Holcomb . The goal is a very quick post race breakdown that allows all of you to get into the heads of two LTGP racers with different views and sponsor obligations and hear how we saw the course, how it raced and how we chose equipment.
