Open Mic with Mike Creed, Ep10 -Ted King - a podcast by Cyclismas

THIS EPISODE Mike meets up for a beer or two with Ted King, the Cannondale Pro Cycling Team stalwart who came to international attention at this year's Tour de France after his contentious elimination from the race when he missed the time cut in the team time trial by 7 seconds. As they sit around the team RV in between stages at the Tour of Utah, the guys discuss the nuances of oenophilia, the challenges of going gluten free (GF in the vernacular) on an Italian cycling team, and why quitting pro cycling cold turkey is like heroin withdrawal.

Ted relates the events leading up to his fateful crash in the Tour, talks about what his European teammates think of the Tour of Utah, and how awesome his off-season is racing CX and hanging out at the beer garden. And as a very special treat, we hear the stories of the birth of "IamTedKing" and how Creed sold Ted's used LiquiGas bike shorts on eBay.

We hope you enjoy this sharp and witty pair of pros as they wax philosophical on matters small and large.
