Team Sky’s edge was spotting riders with asthma
-
Great chat; I found Alex point about being tested so much very insightful. Whenever I either watch his channel or see him interviewed he always comes across has being very modest.
-
David Foster Wallace, in “How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart,” also advances the theory that the kind of athlete that can win under huge pressure is a person that inherently can’t process the immensity of the moment, because if they could, they’d choke. He believes this is why so many athlete autobiographies are boring and dry.
-
I've seen quite a few of his vlogs. A real star and such a gent.
-
It’s great to see a ex pro back in the amateur ranks not giving a shit if it’s going to get hammered or not.
-
Great chat. Deffo should have him on again. Fair play
-
There is always masters racing when you get older, and age group national champions! Don't under-estimate the importance of staying competitive! I look at former athletes and they are so plump, and I am like how did that happen? Something special about when you get older, and you can still consider yourself an athlete.
-
Did I miss them talk about the thumbnail ? I have always been curious as to what the riders are drinking right after stages in the grand tours
-
Rohan Dennis, that's a name I haven't heard in awhile. What a podcast guest that could be, litigation pending.
-
Anthony has a Dublin accent when he isn't even speaking.
-
Amazing chat 😮💨☝️
-
downloaded his book a few days ago..bloody minded...😊...fantastic read...
-
Great interview and interaction between you pair. I also follow Alex's YouTube videos, and thoroughly enjoy them. On the Lemond comment about Froome and 'motordoping', I understood his comment, in your interview will him, is that he was comparing Froome's power numbers falling as he was attacking on the famous 80km breakaway. Hence why he was convinced about him motordoping. Whatever was happening, if anything, it didn't stop me enjoying that attack.
-
Corking episode. LOve Alex and he always comes across well on "Soshul Meeja" but Ant brought out a really contempative, knowledgeable side of him too. Needless to say, since recording, Sir Cav has taken that record... :-)
-
Such good information. I truly enjoy your podcasts🥰
-
Alex's biography arrived a few weeks ago; it is a good read, unique story.
-
Such a gentleman and true professional to our sport.
-

The old ‘there’s so much testing they can’t be doping’ trope….where have I heard that before????
-
Chapeau to such a Gent
