Sarah interviews.... Wiggle High5 DS Egon van Kessel - a podcast by Sarah Connolly and Dan Wright

Egon van Kessel is one of the great Directeurs Sportifs in the women's peloton. After his own cycling career, he moved to directing, and among his achievements are many years coaching and managing the women's and men's Dutch National Team, through Olympics, World Championships and more, and DSing for some of the biggest names in the women's peloton, including USA Saturn, in the 1990s, and the much-missed Cervélo Test Team in the 2000s. In 2014 he demonstrated why he has such a great reputation, taking over a Wiggle Honda team that was stuffed full of big personalities, and ending the season at the top of the UCI rankings with an amazing four Road World Cup wins. I talked to him about how he did it, what his biggest achievements have been, his plans for Wiggle High5's 2016 season, and more.
