This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James is joined by none other than Bradley Wiggins and cricket legend Ian Botham. In this episode, Ian and Brad compare notes on 1980s cricket versus 2010s cycling (spoiler: there was more beer and misbehaviour in cricket), their experiences in the limelight, their greatest achievements, and how to deal with pressure, from the legendary 1981 Ashes to the 2012 Tour de France and Olympics. Brad opens up about his time at Team Sky, tells us what he really thinks of the Dave Brailsford regime and the cycling media, and gives a candid account of his struggles on the bike and off it. Meanwhile, Ian recounts sharing changing room beers with the Aussies, why he was never into sledging, how to keep a cool head in the middle of a storm, and the long-term impact of his charity work. 0:00 Introduction 4:45 Welcome Bradley Wiggins and Ian Botham 7:16 Comparing cycling and cricket 15:20 Discussing Ian Botham's charity work 20:49 Wiggins and Bothan talk about sporting stardom 27:38 Wiggins on former teams and rivals 32:10 Botham on his 1981 Ashes victory 36:45 Team relationships and the evolution of sports science 40:45 Life post-sports and Lance Armstrong 56:56 The impact of family relations and finding belonging 1:02:21 The atmosphere in the peloton 1:07:21 Afterthoughts Thumbnail images: Juan Trujillo Andrades/Cyclist Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
Take a look at everything you need to know about Bradley Wiggins career.
This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will are joined by bike design visionary Dimitris Katsanis. Dimitris worked alongside Chris Boardman in the Secret Squirrel Club, creating the pioneering bikes and kit that helped Team GB dominate the London 2012 Olympics. Ever wondered where the term ‘marginal gains’ came from? Yep, Dimitris and his colleagues, whose work at the time was so secret not even his boss, one Dave Brailsford, was allowed to know. Across a career spanning three decades and counting, Dimitris has had a hand in winning over 100 gold Olympic and World cycling medals, and right now his components and creations can be seen on four national teams’ Olympic bikes (though he won’t say which ones). Today he runs his own company, Metron A.E, which 3D-prints cutting edge parts for sport, aerospace and the medical industry. He also 3D-printed Fillipo Ganna’s Hour record Pinarello Bolide F. The entire bike. This is a man who has a story about everyone from Wiggins to Ganna, and who can explain aerodynamic drag with just his hands. So pop the kettle on or jump on the turbo, and prepare to be enlightened. 0:00 Introduction 8:05 Interview with Dimitris Katsanis 1:21:34 Discussion between Will and James Subscribe to Cyclist magazine: http://store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod You can find more articles on our website: http://cyclist.co.uk/ Follow us on Twitter: http://x.com/cyclist Like our Facebook page: http://facebook.com/CyclistMag/ Find us on Instagram: http://instagram.com/cyclist_mag/
