Interviews

Callum Thornley – Tour of Britain King of the Mountains!

It's unusual for us to interview someone so soon after our last chat, but when Peebles rider Callum Thornley took the lead in the Tour of Britain Mountains classification on Stage 1 of the race we knew another catchup was necessary.

Callum Thornley – Trinity Racing’s Scot is on a ‘life journey’

Trinity Racing's Callum Thornley has enjoyed a great first half of the 2024 season, finishing several of the U23 Classics in style and showing...

Matt Walls – “I just want to see what I can do on the road”

During our recent interview with Fred Wright he mentioned that we should speak to Matt Walls next; as a reigning Olympic Champion he was 'due a good chat', and so we duly obliged.

Fred Wright – “It’s just a shame to have to wait so long for the next Roubaix.”

After Fred Wright's strong ride in this year's Paris-Roubaix in his beautiful British National Champion's jersey, finishing 12th and sprinting for 8th place, we wanted to find out a little more about the man, his background and his fabled enthusiasm for the Classics.

Michael Mørkøv – the World’s No.1 Lead-out Man

It has been said by many people that Michael Mørkøv is the best lead-out man in the peloton and if Mark Cavendish thinks so, then it must be true. Michael is back at Cav’s side to help him take his 35th, history making Tour de France stage win. We caught up with the flying Dane before he flew to the Tour Colombia.

Lewis Stewart and Jonny Mitchell – Glasgow Track Racing Club plans a step up for 2024

We caught up with Lewis Stewart and Jonny Mitchell of the Glasgow Track Racing Club recently, to hear all about their upcoming venture; launching Scotland’s very first UCI Track Team, in 2024.

Rory O’Reilly – on his Career and THAT Olympic Superbike

A wee while ago we chatted with Brent Emery (interview to follow), who rode one of the US team’s Raleigh ‘Super Bikes’ to ’84 Olympic silver, so it was only fair we caught up the man who rode the wildest bike which appeared at those Games; Rory O’Reilly.

Sean Kelly – Talking Liège-Bastogne-Liège

Sean Kelly was the ‘King of the Classics’ for many years but the man from Carrick-on-Suir also won the Vuelta a España and many shorter stage races. His record at Liège-Bastogne-Liège is only beaten by Argentin and Merckx. We spoke with the Irishman for his thoughts on the ‘Old Lady’ of the road.

Tadej Pogačar – Reprising our Lockdown 2020 Interview

Tadej Pogačar is showing he's an amazing rider with an immense, versatile talent. Given his latest run of historic wins in the Spring Classics, we thought it would be interesting to revisit an interview we did with him three short years ago during lockdown.

Mario Chiesa – Top Road Star of the 90’s

As a ‘road captain’ in the 80's and 90's Mario Chiesa helped guide riders like Marco Pantani, Urs Zimmermann and Claudio Chiappucci to some big victories. More recently he’s been behind the steering wheel of nine top teams. Thanks to Lucio Belli, we caught up with Mario to get his story.
