  • Consistently Good

    Amanda is a great host, intelligent, thoughtful, and easy to listen to. I especially enjoyed the most recent episode with Big Tall Wayne, really fun to hear from someone in the bike world from a different angle than the bike racer perspective, keep the variety coming!

  • Great Team Effort

    This group as a unit is one of the best in the business. Amanda guides the group and guests with care and precision. There is no superfluous banter. The questions are direct, fair, but hard-hitting; kindness and appropriate doses of humor wins the day.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 120 | Skyler Taylor
Q: What led to Skyler quitting his job in 2024?
A combination of a significant wrist injury in 2024 creating urgency, a desire to dedicate himself fully to racing, and a belief that there was real potential to progress further if he focused entirely on cycling.
Ep 120 | Skyler Taylor
Q: How did the experience at the opening Euro gravel race influence his race selection going forward?
Performing well there showed that quality in a world-class field mattered more for sponsors than the absolute placing in a big name race, leading him to optimize calendar choices for sponsor value rather than chasing every high-profile event.
Ep 120 | Skyler Taylor
Q: What prompted Skyler to pursue racing more seriously after years balancing work and sport?
Skyler noticed that his results were improving but sponsorship and full-time opportunities were limited while he was working full time, so he decided to take a year or two to race full-time to see what could be achieved, which eventually evolved into a longer commitment.
Ep 116 | core4 and Lauf Gravel Worlds
Q: What's the lay of the land for the Core Four race?
Core Four was inspired by a similar event and offers a unique challenge with various surface types to test rider abilities.
Ep 106 | Russell Finsterwald
Q: What are his thoughts on the new U23 program in cycling?
He thinks it's a fantastic opportunity to help young racers, recognizing the challenges they face in gaining exposure.
