Matt Stephens chats to two-times British Road champion Ben Swift about his impressively long career, which has just been extended for another two years with INEOS Grenadiers. Having ridden with the team since the inception of Sky Procycling, Ben has seen the sport change exponentially in recent years, and claims he enjoys the thrill of racing now more than ever and continues to develop as a rider in his mid thirties. In a podcast packed with stories about teammates Adam Blythe and Geraint Thomas, Ben reflects on how his true idols are the heroes that taught him to ride on his local chain gang in Yorkshire.

G's big target for the year is very nearly here. With Luke away, G recruits teammate and Giro companion Ben Swift to preview the Italian Grand Tour, reminisce about old times, make some bold predictions and run down the INEOS Grenadiers line-up. Geraint's ready for three big, big weeks in Italy.

Taking on the challenge of a lifetime is more than just a physical triumph. Cycling 50 days, back-to-back, averaging a huge 285km per day to accomplish the goal of cycling around Australia, an incredible display of physical and mental endurance. Ben and Jay both originated in the UK, but have found themselves on the Australian shores for the past 6 years. Having both played competitive rugby growing up, they have continued their passion for physical activity throughout their adulthood, engaging in bodybuilding, powerlifting, weightlifting and a raft of other activities.January 2020 was a dark time for most of the globe with Covid-19 talking hold, travel was becoming more and more difficult, and the impending ‘lockdown' looked inevitable. It was in these circumstances that Boomerang Loop Australia was born. Both Ben and Jay have found inspiration from people performing incredible feats. Whether that means climbing 14 mountain peaks in 7 months, or Cycling the pan American highway in under 100 days. It was this inspiration that made them look to the biggest possible challenge that they could do within the foreseeable restrictions. This was cycling, 14,251km around Australia!It was known at the inception that doing this challenge would be difficult from a physical point of view, however it became very clear from the outset of the training that this was far more of a psychological battle, rather than a physical one. With Jay having struggled with his own personal mental health and Ben having witnessed the impact of mental health difficulties upon his loved ones, the connection to how this challenge could positively impact mental health more broadly became obvious. Keeping this at the forefront of their minds, Boomerang Loop Australia made contact with Mindful Australia to dedicate any of the challenge donations to support their incredible work within the community. ‘People go about their day to day struggling with their own personal mental health battles. What we did was nothing in comparison to what many are going through.' This lap of Australia is tested the boys like nothing else. It required immense physical capability, character and a steely resilience to succeed in their journey.To learn more or donate, visit: www.boomerangloopau.com.au/ To learn more about the work of Mindful Australia, visit: www.mindfullaus.org/ Black Dog Institute, visit: www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/Lifeline, visit: www.lifelinedirect.org.auDavid Goggins cookie jar analogy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEg1SG1TOr4Follow @boomerangloopau on instagram and facebook________________Follow us on social media!Instagram: @normlesspodcast YouTube: www.youtube.com/@normlessFacebook: www.facebook.com/normlesspodcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/norm...TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@normlesspodcastWebsite: normlesspodcast.simplecast.com________________Hayden Kelly, ESSAM, AES, AEP, MHPSHost of the NORMLESS podcastConnect with me on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn ________________Want to support the show?The best way to show your support is by providing a review on the Apple Podcast app, Spotify or via our facebook page.You can also stay in the loop with the latest podcast updates, news and information by subscribing to our mailing list.

Kuidas satub üks eestlane Suurbritannias baseeruva maailma kõige rahakama rattatiimi palgale? Kes kuulab, saab teada. Podcastil „Jalgrattapalavik“ on külas Ineos Grenadiers profitiimi mehaanik Martti Alesmaa. Vanust vaid 31. Võiks veel vabalt ise sõita, aga sätib hoopis rattaid, maailma ässadele – Tom Pidcock, Filippo Ganna, Dylan van Baarle, Ben Swift jt. Hinnatud ja nõutud. Pärit Rapla maakonnast, Teenuse külast. Sõprade ja isa eeskujul sai rattapisiku külge ning 2003. aasta sügisel kui Tallinnasse loodi Jaan Kirsipuu rattakool (CFC Spordiklubi) otsustas liituda pealinnas baseeruva klubiga. Nädala sees oli kodukülas, käis koolis ja tegi omal käel trenni ning kõik nädalavahetused Tallinnas. Kõva tahtmine. 2006. aasta sügisel asus Martti õppima ja treenima Audentese gümnaasiumi Otepää filiaali, tegi sporti kuni U23 vanuseklassi lõpuni. Kahel hooajal kuulus Läti tiimi Alpha Baltic – Unitymarathons.com hingekirja. Sellest kõigest räägime. Kuidas aga hakkas hargnema niidiots, mis viis Eesti mehe Ineos Grenadiers palgale? 2017. aasta suvel tuli ootamatu telefonikõne, mille järel hakkas juhtuma. Üks asi viis teiseni ning kolm aastat hiljem oli Martti unistuste paigas kohal. Küll ta noorena mõtles, et kunagi võiks jõuda tõeliselt suurde meeskonda ja jõudiski, mis sest, et mehaaniku, mitte sõitjana. Ikkagi muinasjutuline lugu. Mehaanikuid on maailma rikkaima rattatiimi palgal tervelt 13! Seda on rohkem kui Ampler-Tartu2024 kogu tiimi isikkoosseis kokku. Kuidas see suur masinavärk toimib? Kus on tiimi peakorter, kuidas saavad paika tööjaotused jne. Martti on tänavu sattunud mõlemale suurtuurile, Giro d'Italiale ja Tour de France'ile. Mis on suurtuuride juures kõige meeldivam, kas see kui meeskonnal läheb hästi ja laekuvad boonused või midagi muud? Töö on iseenesest ju ropp, ülipikad päevad, vähe unetunde ning pidev rekkades ja saateautodes istumine. Ja kelle numbreid võib leida Martti telefoniraamatust! Mine kadedusest roheliseks... Head kuulamist!

On Aug 19, 2022, Ben and Jay plan on riding the Boomerang Loop, cycling around the entire circumference of mainland Australia in 50 days to raise awareness and funds for the mental health charity Mindfull Aus. MindfullAus is extremely proud of the incredibly inspiring and compassionate people who have come together to spread the most important message, that of acceptance & hope. MindfullAus understands the task at hand in reducing beautiful lives lost to suicide. They also understand that the stigma associated with mind and behavioural health is experienced by more than just one individual or group of people. They seek out opportunities to work collectively with as many people as they can to generate a much bigger, more powerful and beneficial social change and voice.Jay has experienced the effects first hand in his own life with the loss of people close to him. There's so much stigma around mental health, but there's also a hesitancy in extending a hand to people who seem troubled and just how to start that conversation.In this podcast, we chat about the importance of the Boomerang Loop project and the complicated logistics of a challenge of this magnitude. We talk about how to spot the signs of poor mental health and the ways to help those that seem to be struggling. Jay and Ben have athletic backgrounds in sport but have very little experience with endurance cycling. These two are very committed to the project and I am sure they will succeed in raising awareness to mental health.Please enjoy my conversation with Ben Swift and Jay Jones.

The Giro d’Italia resumed after its rest day with the news that two high profile riders, Steven Kruijswijk and Michael Matthews, had tested positive for Covid and were out of the race. The race limped on and served up a thrilling stage, won by Peter Sagan with one of the performances of his career. In this episode we hear from Ben Swift and Brandon McNulty, as well as our audio diarist James Knox, and the sports directors of two of the Covid-affected teams, Luke Roberts of Team Sunweb and Addy Engels of Jumbo-Visma.

Again, this week we're at the World Road Cycling Championships in Yorkshire which was wrapped up with a rain affected men's elite road race. The event was delayed and had a significant route change in order to protect the welfare of spectators and participants after heavy rain in the White Rose County. We speak to Mads Pedersen who eventually took the Rainbow Jersey as well as Yorkshire's own Ben Swift who was one of the two British finishers in a brutal contest. After all the build up, the World Athletics Championship is underway in Doha. Great Britain and Northern Ireland have won a silver medal on the opening weekend courtesy of Dina Asher-Smith in the women's 100m. Asher-Smith became the first British winner of a global sprint medal since Dorothy Hyman in 1960 at the Olympic Games in Rome.We also discuss the empty seats and issues over the heat and humidity which has been causing issues with some events - although Michael argues that the rain in Yorkshire also posed threats of their own and asks why the hot weather in Qatar has become an obsession when we just shrugged our shoulders at the risks in Yorkshire.Elsewhere, British Canoeing are edging closer to naming their team for the Olympics and there could be one or two shock omissions, notably Rio 2016 champion Joe Clarke, after the results at the recent World Championships.We also have tennis, shooting, trampolining and windsurfing news for you.

As the World Championships start to wind down, Matt, Kev and Dani are joined by some of the most successful Juniors of the day, Quinn Simmons (Junior Men's Road Race winner) and Max Walker (Men's U23 Yorkshire Challenge winner, held at the Zwift Draft House), as well as British hopeful Ben Swift. All the hard questions are covered - how will the rain affect race day, who is going to which teams next year, and how much Five Guys can you eat post-race.     Photo credit: Léon van Bon

There's a catch up with the British national champion Ben Swift on his time at UAE Team Emirates and how he is hoping to galvanize a team around him despite only having six spots on the start line. Finally, time trial specialist and super domestique Luke Durbridge gives us his take on the Australian team, Rohan Dennis' chances on defending his time trial title, and the merits of announcing squads as early as possible.

It's often said that professional cycling is closer to its fans than any other sport. You can ride the same roads, you don't need to buy a ticket to watch and, as I found in Rotherham, the pros often train amongst us mere mortals. Like their dad before them, Dean and Russell Downing have been riding this chaingang since they were "knee-high to a grasshopper". The same goes for Ben Swift too and several other racers who joined me in a sizeable group, marauding through the South Yorkshire countryside. Rather than just hanging on though, I tried my best to make the ride just a bit more interesting when it reached a crescendo...See more on Instagram and find the route on Strava.

Could music one day be something we experience through augmented reality, responding to the way we move through the world? Sound supplemented with colours and shapes? Mavis Wong/The Conversation NY-BD-CC, CC BY-SAYou probably heard your first strains of music when you were in utero. From then on it’s helped you learn, helped you relax, hyped you up, helped you work, helped you exercise, helped you celebrate and helped you grieve. Music is ingrained in so many aspect of our lives, but it’s also the subject of a significant body of academic work. Today’s episode of Trust Me, I’m An Expert is all about research on music. We’ll be hearing from Dr Ben Swift, a digital artist and computer science lecturer from the Australian National University on how technology is changing the way we interact with music. Could it one day be something we experience through augmented reality, responding to the way we move through the world? Sound supplemented with colours and shapes? And Conversation intern Juliana Yu spoke with Dr Clint Bracknell, a researcher at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music about how he’s investigating the power of song to help address the national and global crisis of Indigenous language-loss. He’s working on this research with Wirlomin Noongar Language and Stories Inc. And we’ll hear from researcher Dr Hollis Taylor, most recently at Macquarie University, who has been studying, recording, and transcribing pied butcherbird song for 12 years. Taylor produces what she calls “re(compositions)” – musical arrangements that mimic and complement pied butcherbird song. Trust Me I’m An Expert is a podcast from The Conversation, where we bring you stories, ideas and insights from the world of academic research. Special thanks today to Shelley Hepworth and Juliana Yu, as well as academics Hollis Taylor, Ben Swift and Clint Bracknell. You can download previous episodes of Trust Me here.
