Podcast 30 Jan 2014: Back in da Stoo-dee-O - TDU, San Luis, Track Nats, CX Worlds - a podcast by SBS

We're baaaaacck!

Well, okay, we came back a week ago, but now, we’re officially back.

Back in the Cycling Central studio at SBS HQ, that is.

The mic’s have been cleaned out, the mic socks replaced (Tomo’s spitting, inevitably, got the better of them), the chairs reupholstered, the table re-lacquered, our Gustavo Fring lookalike, a.k.a. studio producer Dennis, has returned – unlike Fring, who died at the meth-laden hands of Walter White – but the regulars remain!

Hosted by our in-house hipster Alex Hinds and accompanied by Cycling Central managing editor Phil Gomes and King (or should that be queen?) of Willunga Hill, Anthony Tan, the trio first get stuck into the Santos Tour Down Under, and reminisce and ruminate on a cracking start to the 2014 WorldTour calendar.

Running concurrently with the TDU was the Tour de San Luis. Shambolic and uncivilized at times, superlative at others; should we have expected anything less?

Adelaide may resemble a ghost town after the TDU peloton departed – but did you know the Australian track nationals are on this week at the Adelaide Super-Drome, and Wednesday night, golden girl Anna Meares clocked up her thirtieth national title?!

And, further afield – okay, okay, *miles* away – in Hoogerheide, the Netherlands, the world’s best cyclo-crossers get down and dirty this weekend to fight for a bunch of rainbow jerseys.

First person to stay upright and not break bike or bone wins… Or something like that.

Hear us out now, yo!
