We get into the festive spirit with an ‘Advent’ episode celebrating not the impending arrival of a king of kings…but the emergence of several would-be stars in the world of professional cycling in 2024.



Daniel Friebe is joined by award-winning commentator Rob Hatch and young Richard Abraham – plus there’s a début for ace ‘stato’ Cillian Kelly – as we review breakthrough seasons for the likes of Isaac del Toro, Oscar Onley and more. We also hear from Onley’s DSM Firmenich-PostNL directeur sportif Matt Winston and a man who has burst onto the scene in recent weeks…with the help of Strava.
