Cyclist Magazine Podcast

This week, Will and James talk to ex-pro, team ds and race director Scott Sunderland. Today, Sunderland is race director for the RideLondon Classique and Tour of Flanders among others, but during the 1990s and 2000s he rode professionally for TVM, Lotto and GAN before taking on sports director roles at Team CSC and Cervélo Test Team. Here, Sunderland talks racing through the troubled 1990s; a near career-ender when he got hit by a team car; orchestrating Classics wins with Fabian Cancellara; and breaking tens of thousands of pounds of kit in the Arenberg Forest, all in the name of science. Honest. We also discuss the upcoming RideLondon Classique WorldTour women's race, which takes place on 24th-26th May.Interview begins at 9.28.For details of the RideLondon Classique, hit this link---This episode is brought to you by ketones experts deltaG. deltaG makes a variety of ketone drinks to use for different situations, so head over to deltaGketones.com to explore the science, and use the code CYCLIST for 20% off your first purchase.---Did you know Cyclist is also stunning monthly magazine?

Today, Burton runs De Ver Cycles in Streatham, London, and has just had his biography published by Bloomsbury, The Maurice Burton Way, which is out on 28th March and available to pre-order now.--This episode is brought to you by ketones experts deltaG. deltaG makes a variety of ketone drinks to use for different situations, so head over to deltaGketones.com to explore the science, and use the code CYCLIST for 20% off your first purchase.--This episode is also brought to you by JOIN, the training platform that sets you up with training plans that adapt on the go.

This week Will and James are joined by Shane Williams, Welsh rugby union legend, Ospreys star winger, RFB Player of the Year and MBE. After nearly 20 years at the top of his sport, Shane retired in 2015 and quickly (like within a week) took up Ironman.

Shane talks about training, winning, the difficulties of life after pro sport, and how he came to cycling. And most importantly answers that question: how many watts can a superstar rugby play push on a bike?Contact AGILIS to find out about its bespoke kit design service for clubs and charity events and check out agilissport.com for the full range, from jerseys to bibshorts to gilets – and enter CYCLISTMAG20 at the checkout for 20% off your order.  --This episode is brought to you by ketones experts deltaG. deltaG makes a variety of ketone drinks to use for different situations, so head over to deltaGketones.com to explore the science, and use the code CYCLIST for 20% off your first purchase.--This episode is also brought to you by JOIN, the training platform that sets you up with training plans that adapt on the go.

This week James and Will talk to Daniel Troia, who cycled coast-to-coast across America (and back) with no food or money, then made a film about it: We Are All In This Together.With only basic camping gear and his trusty Surly tourer, Daniel begged and borrowed his way across the States in the hope of answering the question of the age: as a society, how divided are we? Along the way he met some extraordinary characters, made extraordinary connections and undertook some extraordinary feats, from sleeping in toilets to riding through deserts to living out of dustbins. It's an incredible tale, and one we know you'll love too.Interview begins at 5.26We Are All In This Together is available to stream now on Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video and Google Play.Follow all Daniel's adventures on Instagram @the_travelin_dude--This episode is brought to you by JOIN, the training platform that sets you up with training plans that adapt on the go.

On the latest episode of the podcast, James and Emma are joined by Maria Leijerstam, a British adventurer and world record holder.

Maria also talks about her other adventures, including taking on the Siberian Black Ice Race which included cycling across Lake Baikal the deepest frozen freshwater lake in the world.

This week James and Emma are joined by Simon Mottram, the founder of cycling clothing company Rapha. You might have heard of it.  Mottram is the former corporate branding specialist and lifelong cycling fan who set up Rapha in 2004 at a time when the sport had yet to experience the explosion of interest in Britain.  You could say, he made cycling cool.  In this episode Mottram delves into his decision to step down as CEO in early 2022, and what it has been like slowly letting go of the reins, this may or may not be where his new love of gardening comes in.  He also shares his views on the current state of the cycling industry and what needs to be done to progress forward. He is unsurprisingly positive about it all, his relentless passion for the sport is unwavering.  Plus, as a bonus Emma and James share their New Years resolutions.

When stored carbs are depleted, your body starts to convert fat into ketones. Studies show that ketones are 28% more efficient than glucose, making them a super-efficient fuel source for the brain and the body.These benefits led H.V.M.N to create Ketone-IQ: a drinkable ketone designed to support energy, focus and endurance.Developed alongside the U.S. military, Ketone-IQ is one of the most powerful ketone supplements on the market.
