Heb je je ooit afgevraagd hoe het leven van een profwielrenner eruitziet? De Australische ex-profwielrenner Mitch Docker neemt je mee in de wereld van het professionele wielrennen. Hij brengt je de verhalen achter de mensen in de sport – van de renners in het peloton tot het teampersoneel, commentatoren en wielerlegendes – en deelt daarnaast inzichten over training en nabeschouwingen van de grote wedstrijden door het jaar heen.
Nu hij net gestopt is met zijn carrière als profrenner, verkent Mitch nieuwe pelotons – alle pelotons buiten de WorldTour – en brengt hij frisse verhalen uit de wielergemeenschap. In zijn spin-offserie Talking Luft – een beetje als de extra’s op een dvd – staan wielerstijl en -cultuur centraal. Denk aan koerspetjes, fietsen, kleding, koffiestops, trainingsrondjes en alles wat het fietsen zo mooi maakt. Luister wekelijks naar alle afleveringen!

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP
The Tour de France kicked off last weekend and oh boy what a race we’ve had already! There’ve been some amazing stage winners, some crazy crashes, and some signs that we are in for one hell of a July. I’m enjoying this year’s race purely as a fan from the comfort of my sofa. But, when it comes to fans, there’s none bigger than old mates Harry and Stu over at Life In The Peloton’s Race Radio.
These guys love it and, as always, I get to share their enthusiasm with you guys for this month’s ep. Here’s what the brilliant baldie, Harry Dowdney, had to say about this month’s episode:
Le Tour is Here!
The greatest on earth has kicked off with a series of great stages in the north of France. Stu and I discuss the mayhem of the crashes, marvel at the Alpecin-Deceuninck machine, and give some insights into two big name riders we’ve made films with recently – Jasper Philipsen and Ben O’Connor.
Then, we dial in pro cycling photographer Zac Williams for a chinwag about how his race is going so far. Allez!
The Tour is The Tour – it’s as big as it gets, and there’s so much to talk about it can sometimes be hard knowing where to start when you’re trying to catch up; but the Race Radio boys do a stellar job of cutting through the noise and bringing you the insights that only they can. I love it, and I hope you do, too.
The Race Radio boys will return LIVE from The Tour – recording direct from the Alps in the third week, and sticking around to bring you coverage from the roadside of the Tour de France Femmes! I can’t say I’m not a little bit jealous of them getting boots on the ground over in Europe, but I can’t wait to hear what they come up with.
Cheers!
Mitch
