Really great and mindful, and also entertaining thoughts and interviews with great respect for cycling. Also good to understand for me as non-native English speaker and Cycling fan without competitive ambitions.
Go on Jack, continue, I love the show so far. Also the mix of people you talk to.
I wanted always to hear about the motorcycle drivers at races. Maybe an idea for the future…
Cheers
