This is a cheeky bonus excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. You won't want to miss these exclusive chats dropping throughout the 2025 season! It's been a long, cold winter, but Svein and I are back for the 2025 season with a fresh ep of Life In The Peloton: Chronicles for you - the Pelo members. Just like when we were pro cyclists, which feels like a long time ago now, we had ourselves a little off season to reset, freshen up, and make plans for the next year. It was great to catch up with Sveino for the first time since October, and this month we're talking all about kicking off a new season as a rider. That mental reset is just as important as the physical one, and after a little break, Sveino and I are itching to get going! Things have changed a lot since we were riders. Back in our day, we had a relaxed start to the racing season; plenty of base miles over the winter, then rock up to Tour Down Under ready to get some intensity in the legs and build towards the first “real” races in the Spring. Sveino even rode 2000km from Canada to California for an early season team camp in 2003 to build some fitness after a winter relaxing out in the snow and skiing rather than riding! I love hearing Sveino's wild, adventurous stories - he's like the original Lachy Morton. Nowadays, early season races like the Tour Down Under are real targets for a lot of riders. Whether it's a team hunting UCI points to avoid relegation, neo pros that need to start getting experience in the bunch with the big boys, or legendary riders targeting San Remo in March that want some race KMs in their legs before their competitors back in Europe. We've just had the 25th edition of the race, and I was down in Adelaide getting stuck into the action in the commentary booth, at the roadside, and - of course - behind the pod mic, catching up with some old mates. Svein and I listened back to some great chats with our old mates Michael Hepburn, Luke Durbridge, Sam Bewley, and Aaron Gate about the Tour Down Under and how it can set a rider up for the season ahead. I also caught up with a guy I used to love spinning a yarn with in the bunch; the president of the CPA, Adam Hansen. We spoke about the new UCI rules that will impact the races this season. New feedzone regulations, changes to time gaps if you crash in the final, and the introduction of yellow cards for multiple infractions - it's going to keep the riders on their toes this year, that's for sure. As always, Svein and I chat about a heap of other topics - with plenty of anecdotes from our time in the bunch and the years since we both hung up the race wheels. I love telling these stories, and I hope you love hearing them. Cheers! Mitch

Cyclist Aaron Gate has surged into New Zealand Commonwealth Games history - winning the men's road race to claim record a fourth gold medal at the Games in Birmingham. After collecting three golds on the track last week, Gates produced one of this country's great sporting moments when crossing the line after 160-kilometres of intense racing. He becomes the first New Zealander to win four golds at one Games. Despite his leg muscles constantly cramping over the final stages, he found the energy to see off South Africa's Daryl Impey and Scotland's Finn Crockett. It was New Zealand's 18th gold in Birmingham, which is our best-ever Commonwealth Games return, surpassing the 17 won when we last played host - in Auckland in 1990. On the track, Gate won the points race, individual pursuit and was part of the victorious men's team pursuit. The 31-year-old Aucklander said self-preservation became a focus over the closing stages. New Zealand have won two other medals overnight - both via our women's sports teams. The Silver Ferns claimed netball bronze with a meritorious 55-48 win over England, a team who had beaten them handsomely earlier in the Games. After a heavy loss to Jamaica in the semi-finals, New Zealand coach Dame Noeline Taurua explains what third place means for her. The White Ferns also ended a mixed cricket campaign on a high, clinching third place after chasing down England's target of 110 with 8 overs to spare. Captain Sophie Devine, who anchored New Zealand's innings with an unbeaten 51, says the future is looking bright for women's cricket. New Zealand could win another gold on Monday, when Paul Coll and Joelle King contest the mixed doubles final. Reporter Bridget Tunnicliffe spoke to Corin Dann.
It's been a stellar Commonwealth Games for the kiwi cycling team in Birmingham. Veteran rider Aaron Gate is one of those basking in the success. He joined the triple golden club yesterday alongside women's cyclist Elesse Andrews, taking out gold in the team pursuit and individual pursuit and then the men's 40 kilometre points race. The 31-year old has competed in several Olympic and Commonwealth Games - he speaks to Susie about how Birmingham compares.
It's been another golden day in the Commonwealth Games velodrome for New Zealand, with the track cyclists coming away with two more golds and two silvers overnight. Aaron Gate claimed his third gold of the Games in the points race an hour ago - with teammate Campbell Stewart winning the silver medlal. It's Gate's third gold of the Games - a feat also achieved by his teammate Ellesse Andrews earlier in the morning, who crossed the line first in the women's Keirin. Andrews also won gold in the women's sprint and the team sprint events earlier in the Games, and was part of the silver medal winning team pursuit squad. It takes the total number of track cycling golds New Zealand has won in Birmingham to eight. Earlier Michaela Drummond won silver in the women's scratch race. Felicity Reid spoke to Guyon Espiner.
New Zealand has finished as the top nation in the track cycling at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games after another golden day for the riders in black. Ellesse Andrews and Aaron Gate both won titles today meaning they finished the programme with three gold medals each. Barry Guy wraps up a successful track cycling programme.
The national anthem has been ringing out across the Commonwealth Games pool and velodrome once again this morning. New Zealand has just won a fifth swimming gold medal after Andrew Jeffcoat powered to victory in the 50-metre backstroke. The Aucklander forged a lead early in the one-length race and held off the challenge of South Africa's Pieter Coetze to win in a national record time of 24.65 seconds. New Zealand's track cyclists stockpiled two gold and two silver medals overnight to finish the leading nation at the velodrome. Ellesse Andrews, who had already won two golds and one silver at the weekend, crossed the line first in the women's Keirin this morning. She told Sky Sport she's exceeded her own expectations at the Games. Andrews is not the only cyclist to be bringing three golds home from the Birmingham Games - her teammate Aaron Gate has also topped the podium three times. Gate was awarded his third gold this morning, after finishing first in the points race. Fellow New Zealander, Campbell Stewart, followed him over the line to win silver. Gate told sky sport that the relationship is really strong between himself, Stewart and the rest of the team. The first medal of the day came even earlier in the velodrome, with cyclist Michaela Drummond winning silver in the women's scratch race. The track cycling is now over for the Games, with the New Zealanders finishing with a whopping 13 medals in the velodrome - eight of them gold. New Zealand sits third on the medal table, with 24 medals overall -- 13 of those are gold. Sports reporter Felicity Reid has been at the aquatics centre in Birmingham.
One of the country's top cyclists says the reporting around the recent Cycling NZ report has been overly negative. Aaron Gate says while the report did highlight some issues, many of the problems within Cycling NZ's culture have been addressed since the last report in 2018. He spoke to D'Arcy Waldegrave on Sportstalk. LISTEN ABOVE

It is the race that had cyclist Campbell Stewart in screaming agony from about the halfway mark, but he pushed through the pain barrier with the help of his cheering teammates to win silver. The 23-year-old climbed from seventh to second in the men's omnium at the Olympic velodrome in Japan last night. Stewart was unexpectedly subbed into the race after fellow rider Aaron Gate hit the deck hard in the team pursuit breaking his collar bone.
A nasty crash at the Olympic velodrome has left NZ track cyclist Aaron Gate with a broken collar bone, burns and without a medal in Tokyo. The men's pursuit team were in a strong position in the race against Australia for bronze. But with just over 1km to go, Gate clipped teammate Jordan Kerby's back wheel, sending Gate sliding across the track. His injuries have ended his own Olympic campaign. Aaron Gate says his 66km/h spill remains a bit of a blur. Gate says he had a chance to talk to family last night, saying his wife is devastated that his Olympic dream is over. However, Gate, who's previously broken his other collarbone, hopes to be back in the saddle and racing Europe within a week. Gate has been replaced by teammate Campbell Stewart for Thursday's omnium and Saturday's madison race.
