This week James and Will are Fran Miller, possibly the most influential woman in British cycling.Today Fran is CEO at Rapha, but her long CV includes managing Geraint Thomas and Mark Cavendish; a decade at Team Sky/Ineos, in which she became 'head of winning behaviours'; operations director for Eliud Kipchoge's sub-2hr marathon record; and then CEO at clothing brand Belstaff. She is also David Millar's sister, but really that's just a footnote to a fascinating career.In this episode, Fran talks candidly about the problems at Rapha - and why they will solve them; life working alongside Dave Brailsford at Sky, including developing and propagating their famous winning mentality; what went wrong at Ineos Grenediers (and it's not what you might think, also Pidcock is mentioned); what it's like having David Millar as a brother; and whether TNT's new TV cycling deal is about to kill British cycling.Interview begins at 15.05------------------ Did you know Cyclist is also stunning monthly print magazine?Subscribe now at store.cyclist.co.uk/cycpod and get every issue for less than in the shops, delivered straight to your door.And it's also a rather lovely website about everything road cycling and gravel.

You Just Go Faster: Cycling, Community and Commerce with Rapha's CCO This episode of RetailCraft takes us inside premium cycling brand Rapha, our host Ian Jindal chats with Joel Natale, Chief Commercial Officer, at Rapha's London headquarters. Their conversation explores how this 20-year-old brand transformed cycling culture, built a powerful community, and continues to balance premium positioning with growth. [00:00:00] Introduction to Rapha and Joel's Role [00:01:00] "Changed The Sport": Rapha's Market Impact [00:06:52] "More Than Just Shops": The Clubhouse Concept [00:11:16] "Suffering Together": The Community Philosophy [00:15:50] "The Rapha Cycling Club": 10 Years of RCC Membership [00:18:23] "Product Longevity": Sustainability and Repairs [00:23:57] "I Won't Be A Lifer": Joel's Cycling Industry Journey [00:27:19] "Incredibly Lucky": From Brompton to Rapha [00:30:37] "A Relentless Desire to Understand the Customer": Brand Leadership [00:34:27] "You Just Go Faster": Rapha's Future Direction Rapha's Origins and Market Position Joel introduces Rapha as a 20-year-old cycling brand founded by Simon Mottram in 2004 that "really changed the sport" and how people engage with cycling. Rapha entered a market divided between established performance brands and cheaper, poorly fitting products, with Mottram's vision to create "a more discerning and thoughtful product brand" engaged with cycling culture. Rapha revolutionized the industry with its bold pricing strategy, setting retail prices approximately three times the market average. This approach initially shocked consumers but transformed industry standards, with other brands taking nearly five years to realize they could also aim for premium price points. Though the brand has expanded its range to serve diverse cyclists across price points and terrains, Rapha remains firmly positioned as a premium brand sitting "top halfway to the top" of the market. Clubhouses: More Than Just Shops One of Rapha's most distinctive innovations has been its clubhouses. These aren't simply retail spaces but community hubs where cyclists engage with the brand and each other. When Rapha introduced this concept around 2010-2012, cycling-focused cafés where riders could bring their bikes inside was revolutionary. The clubhouses serve multiple purposes beyond retail. As Joel explains, "On a Sunday afternoon, you give people a space to watch races. On a Wednesday morning, you give them a space to go after they've trained." This community-building approach reflects Rapha's broader mission to grow the sport rather than just sell products. Rapha strategically locates its clubhouses in major global cities and "culturally important cycling locations" such as Mallorca and Boulder, Colorado—choices that might not be obvious from pure data analysis but make sense for a brand deeply connected to cycling culture. The Rapha Cycling Club (RCC) The Rapha Cycling Club celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2024. Unlike conventional loyalty programs focused on discounts, RCC was built around creating an actual cycling club where "people might meet and ride together, race together." RCC offers tangible benefits including half-price coffee at clubhouses, organized rides, bike hire, and access to exclusive club kit at more accessible price points. While Joel acknowledges that the club "peaked in COVID" and needs reinvigoration, he emphasizes that for many members—especially those living near clubhouses—the benefits and community connections remain valuable. Sustainability and Product Longevity Cycling inherently offers sustainability advantages as an environmentally friendly transportation option. Rapha's focus on high-quality products naturally aligns with sustainability principles, with Joel mentioning he still owns and uses a Rapha jersey from 2008—illustrating the brand's commitment to durability. The company maintains repair services in the US, UK, and Europe, reflecting its commitment to product longevity. Beyond repairs, Rapha has expanded its sustainability efforts to include carbon emissions management and increased use of "environmentally preferred materials," while acknowledging the challenges specific to cycling apparel, which often uses multiple materials for performance requirements. Industry Passion and Future Direction Joel's career has been entirely within the cycling industry, beginning part-time at Evans Cycles while at university before joining their purchasing department after graduation. Despite initially thinking "I won't be a lifer," he's remained in the cycling business for 20 years. Joel reflects on the special bonds formed in cycling retail: "When you do cycling retail, you make really close friends because you've already passed the bar of 'we're all cyclists'." Before joining Rapha, Joel worked at Brompton, describing himself as "incredibly lucky to work for both brands." When asked about skills needed for success in brand-led businesses, Joel emphasizes "a relentless desire to understand the customer." He notes that while being passionate about your niche is essential, professionals also need to "be one step back" to avoid confusing personal preferences with broader customer needs. The podcast concludes with Joel discussing Rapha's future under new CEO Fran Miller (sister of former professional cyclist David Millar), who recently joined from Belstaff. Rather than focusing on short-term fixes, they're taking a longer view: "We're going to look at a three to four year horizon to rebuild this place," supported by patient ownership that allows for long-term planning. About Our Guest Joel Natale is Chief Commercial Officer at Rapha, overseeing product strategy, merchandising, supply chain, and e-commerce operations. His 20-year career in the cycling industry includes prior roles at Evans Cycles and Brompton, bringing both personal passion and professional expertise to his work at this premium global cycling brand. -- Run time: 38 minutes INFORMATION: [
Send us a textSince it was announced early last week, Warner Bros. Discovery's controversial decision to ditch Eurosport in the UK and Ireland, after over three decades of quirky, wonderful broadcasting, and move all of its cycling coverage to the all-encompassing, £31-a-month TNT Sports (hiking the price up by 443 per cent in the process), has been the subject of intense debate among cycling fans, riders, and stakeholders.In part one of this week's road.cc Podcast, Ryan, Dan, and Emily dissect the earth-shattering news, the backlash from across the cycling world, and what it all means for the future of cycling coverage (and the sport itself) in the UK and Ireland.And in part two, road.cc's tech editor Mat Brett sits down for a chat with one of those high-profile cycling figures set to be directly affected by this new, monopolised cycling media landscape, especially after July's last (for the foreseeable future, anyway) free-to-air Tour de France on ITV4 – four-time Tour stage winner-turned-ITV commentator David Millar.The former Garmin rider chats about his new role as brand director at premium bike manufacturer Factor, his “geeky” love of bikes, and the “death by a thousand cuts” demise of his clothing brand CHPT3 last year. Millar also assesses the recent safety debates in pro cycling, from yellow cards and gear restrictions to airbags, and concludes that the key to making the “inherently dangerous” world of bike racing safer could be “empowering” the peloton to self-police and respect each other.
In this episode of the BikeRadar Podcast, Simon von Bromley sits down with former pro road racing star, David Millar. With national titles and multiple Grand Tour stage victories on his palmarès, Millar established himself as one of Britain's best-known cyclists across a 17-year career. Over a meandering conversation, Millar talks about his new role as brand director at Factor, road-racing tech trends, his take on the issue of safety, and why efforts to change the sport's business model will face plenty of hurdles.

Oliver Stockwell is Britain's newest WorldTour rider and the latest young talent to graduate to the professional ranks with support from The Rayner Foundation. Like all Rayner riders, Stockwell chose to pursue his dream by racing overseas. His courage and resilience have been rewarded with a two-year contract from Team Bahrain-Victorious. Moving to Italy without a word of Italian and later spending two weeks in an Italian hospital, the preliminary phase of a six-month recovery from a broken leg that saw him race only five times in 2023, are just some of the hurdles overcome by the 22-year-old from St Albans. Resilience, the common factor in the character of all Rayner riders, is a quality he possesses in abundance. In this detailed interview with co-host Timothy John, Stockwell describes his instant attraction to cycling as an 11-year-old discovering the velodrome in Welwyn while walking with his family. A founding education with Welwyn Wheelers and a national junior title followed before he joined British Cycling's storied Olympic Academy in 2019. The Covid pandemic reduced his tenure with the federation's flagship development programme, however. After racing just twice in 2020 and enjoying only 35 race days in 2021, he joined the Italian development team CTF Friuli in 2022 in search of further opportunities. The club became the official feeder of Bahrain-Victorious during Stockwell's two-year stint, and his results impressed the WorldTour team sufficiently to win a contract. Stockwell discusses a range of topics, including his membership of a golden generation of young British riders now racing in the sport's top tier, a talent for cyclo-cross that saw him selected for two world championships, and the vital support of The Rayner Foundation, whose combination of financial and emotional support helped him make the transition from the Olympic Academy to CTF Friuli. In 2018, Phil Jones, Brother UK's Managing Director and this podcast's co-host, rode the entire route of the Tour of Britain with ultra endurance cyclist James Golding to raise around £20,000 for the Foundation. The Leeds-based charity, founded in memory of the hugely gifted Dave Rayner, has helped scores of young British riders to turn professional, including Tour de France stage winners David Millar and Adam Yates.

Nick Yarris is a speaker, writer and ex-death row inmate. I had the privilege of sitting down with Nick Yarris in London. Nick spent 22 years on death row for a murder he didn't commit. Nick is an author, motivational speaker, and the subject of the documentary film "Fear of 13," available on Netflix. He's also the inspiration for a play currently running in London, starring Adrien Brody. At 21, after enduring a violent childhood, Nick found himself in a situation that led to his wrongful conviction and life sentence. In the 1980s, prisons and guards were notoriously harsh to convicts of such crimes. Enforced silences, caged dog-fights, guard beatdowns, and "quality time" with psychopaths were commonplace. Nick became the FBI's Most Wanted Man after a prison escape but soon turned himself back in. He promised his mother he wouldn't waste his time on death row becoming embittered by his wrongful accusation. Nick became both the kindest and most dangerous man on death row. He taught himself to read in prison, becoming a student of language and religion. He wrote letters home to family, friends, and lawyers of other inmates. His eloquent and powerful communication led him to become the first death row inmate to request DNA testing. As a result, Nick was exonerated in 2004 after DNA technology proved his innocence. Nick spent 22 years behind the toughest bars for another man's crime. He was tortured mentally and physically for an act he did not commit. Yet, Nick tells me, "Death row is like a fond memory to me. I am no longer disturbed by what happened to me." Since his release, Nick has become an author, anti-death penalty activist, and inspiring public speaker. He uses his pain as his purpose. He uses his pain to connect. Five years ago, after seeing Nick on Joe Rogan, I reached out before I started my podcast. I thanked him, we connected, and we've been friends since. His story isn't just about survival—it's about thriving against impossible odds and emerging triumphant from trauma. This episode hits hard. Prepare for tears. --- Sponsors: Thanks Finnieston clothing in Glasgow for sponsoring this episode - https://finniestonclothing.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoo6PMx7H5ckHcQILm2wcGAT-bNC9pMAXfRlFiSi3B2ECXKxpShb Thanks to David Millar at Mantra Menswork for sponsoring this episode - https://mantra-menswork.mykajabi.com/man-alive?preview_theme_id=2155765370 Find Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidmcintoshjr/?hl=en Find Me on Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@developmentbydavid?lang=en Support the Podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/developmentbydavid Subscribe to my newsletter: [https://developmentbydavid.substack](https://developmentbydavid.substack/).
In this episode I chat to a former colleague of mine at Slipstream Sports, the management company behind the professional cycling team that's been known over the years as Garmin, Cannondale and most recently EF Pro Cycling. Dr Kevin Sprouse is a rare breed of both medical MD and exercise physiologist and has worked closely with riders like David Millar, David Zabriske, Christian Vandevelde through to the current crop of EF riders like Lachlan Morton, Ben Healy, Rigoberto Uran and Richard Carapaz. Kevin also runs a private practice working with high performance athletes across a variety of sports and high level amateurs and weekend warriors who want the same level of medical care and performance support that the pro's get. We dig into how professional cycling has changed in the ten or so years he's been in the sport and the mental impact of so many variables in cycling being measurable these days, and related to this how pro cyclists and teams approach dealing with athlete mental health. From a physical health standpoint Kevin walks me through the types of things guys in their 40's should be getting checked out on a regular basis and we finish up tackling the tricky subject of testosterone, when to know you have a problem and what to do about it.

Today we were delighted to host Toni Stojcevski, General Manager of Project Sales & Development at Wärtsilä Marine alongside David Millar, Principal of Markets, Legislative, and Regulatory Policy at Wärtsilä Energy. For those of you who aren't familiar with Wärtsilä, the company is a famous Finnish provider of marine engines and also a large player in onshore power. Toni has served at Wärtsilä for over 20 years ago and specializes in marine engineering and business development, including medium speed combustion engines and alternative fuels. David is an economist who advocates for evidence-based energy policies that prioritize cost-effectiveness and reliability. He holds a Master of Environmental Management from Duke University and previously served as Managing Director of Resource Planning and Procurement Services at Ascend Analytics. We were delighted to connect with David and Toni and talk about Wärtsilä's unique angles on the world. In our conversation, we discuss the critical role of shipping in the global economy and Wärtsilä's efforts to develop solutions that meet emissions targets, including the creation of engines that can use traditional fuels but also natural gas, methanol, ammonia, and hydrogen. Toni shares his insights on the evolution of fuel use in shipping, highlighting the global fleet's historical reliance on bunker fuel and how that has changed in recent years. Toni emphasizes the complexities and costs associated with transitioning to alternative fuels, as well as the technological challenges with new fuels, notably in fuel supply infrastructure, especially for hydrogen and ammonia. We explore the relative differences in different fuel prices and the impact of larger tank sizes on shipping costs and cargo capacity, whether existing fuels can become more efficient, and examine potential future shipping technologies such as marine batteries and micronuclear power. David provides background on Wärtsilä's power solutions including gas engines for peaking and balancing generation, the intricacies of using hydrogen as a long-duration storage medium and the infrastructure needed, as well as the cost of generating electricity with Wärtsilä's engines and how it compares to other generation methods. We also cover the role of modular and efficient energy technologies in reducing costs and risks for utilities and power producers. We circle back with Toni towards the end of the discussion to hit on Wärtsilä's development of carbon capture technology for vessels unable to switch to new fuels and cover the size and growth of the global merchant shipping fleet. We conclude by asking both David and Toni what they think the shipping and power energy mix might look like in ten years. For our COBT history buffs, we previously had the opportunity to host Karl Meeusen, Director of Markets, Legislative and Regulatory Policy at Wärtsilä (episode linked here). Mike Bradley opened the discussion by highlighting three key topics: the East & Gulf Coast dockworkers strike, escalating conflict in the Middle East, and the sharp decline in U.S. natural gas storage surplus. On the dockworkers strike, he noted it was the first one on the East Coast since 1977, with these ports handling half of all U.S. container shipments. Retailers are under pressure as investors assess potential supply chain disruptions during the holiday season and the US Presidential election ramifications of an extended strike. Regarding crude oil, WTI prices rose $3/bbl to $71/bbl due to increasing Middle East tensions following Iran's missile strike on Israel. Despite this, oil prices have been trading sideways, even with bearish Brent crude setups and news of a large Chinese stimulus plan. The upcoming OPEC Joint Ministerial Monitoring Committee meeting on October 2nd could bring mor

If you're a fan of nerdy technical chat about shoe design and the joy of riding a bike through town in a suit with a multiple grand tour stage winner, then you're in for a treat on this special bonus episode of the road.cc Podcast. Because, to mark the launch this week of the CHPT3's Transit 2.0, we sat down with the brains behind the urban commuter shoe that aims to combine the “power of a pro cycling shoe and the comfort of a luxury sneaker” – pro cyclist-turned-commentator David Millar and ex-Adidas designer James Carnes – to discuss the inspiration behind the potentially revolutionary new cycling footwear, Millar's rediscovered love for cycling, and whether you can wear the same shoe at the local nightclub and down a precipitous Swiss mountain.We chat about discuss the journey, both literally and metaphorically, that led them to the Transit 2.0, and the problems inherent in so many commuter or urban cycling shoes, and how Millar rediscovered his love of cycling by breaking out of his pro cycling bubble.We also ask the important questions: Do they look cool? Are they suitable for cycling and walking about the office and town? How do they fare on a downhill mountain biking route in the Swiss Alps, or in the most inhospitable of British town centres? And most importantly, can you wear them with a suit?
In this Podcast extra, Christophe Mallet speaks to Finlay Pretsell, a British filmmaker, about his latest film TIME TRIAL, the exhilarating story of David Millar's last year in the professional peloton.

In this episode we are sharing a panel from the S2G summit moderated by Kate Danaher, Oceans Managing Director at S2G. Jason Giffen from the Port of San Diego, Ingrid Irigoyen from the Aspen Institute, and David Millar of Fugro discuss the current efforts underway to decarbonize the industry and what it will ultimately take to get us there. Solutions discussed range from green methanol to electrification and innovative business models. The panelists also share their perspectives on current and future decarbonization drivers, from regulations to corporate responsibility, market demand, and first-mover action. It's a fascinating conversation about how collaborative endeavors and visionary solutions are working to decarbonize an extremely complex and behind-the-scenes industry. Key Topics:The Importance of Maritime Decarbonization: Responsible for three percent of greenhouse gas emissions, the maritime industry has a major role to play in the global decarbonization effort. Regulatory Evolution and Market Response: The maritime industry faces dual pressures from evolving regulatory standards and market dynamics, propelling a shift towards decarbonization.Innovative Business Models Driving Transformation: Innovative business models like the Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance are fostering market demand for zero-emission shipping which will enable the rest of the supply chain to transition confidently.Near and Longer-Term Innovation: While e-fuels are highly anticipated, they will take time to scale. Other green fuel choices, such as methanol, and other types of technologies, such as port electrification, can provide more immediate decarbonization solutions. Collaboration for Collective Impact: The intricate nature of maritime decarbonization necessitates a collaborative ecosystem involving diverse stakeholders—from ship owners to regulators and local communities. Effective community engagement is necessary to propel the adoption of technologies and encourage infrastructural shifts.Resources:Port of San DiegoFugroZero Emission Maritime Buyers AllianceThis content is for informational purposes only, should not be taken as legal, business, tax or investment advice, or be used to evaluate any investment or security, and is not directed at any investor or potential investor in any investment vehicle sponsored by S2G Investments, LLC or its affiliates (“S2G Ventures”).

Martha and the Muffins is a Canadian new wave band formed in Toronto in 1977. Known for their eclectic sound that blends post-punk, art rock, and new wave influences, the band achieved international success with their hit single "Echo Beach" in 1980. Martha and the Muffins was formed by two art students, Martha Johnson and Mark Gane, at the Ontario College of Art. They were soon joined by David Millar, Carl Finkle, Mark Gane's brother Tim Gane, and Martha Ladly. The band name was chosen as a playful jab at the plethora of "The Something-something" band names at the time. The group quickly became a staple in the Toronto music scene, known for their quirky and innovative performances. Their unique sound combined elements of punk, rock, and electronic music, setting them apart from their contemporaries. In 1979, Martha and the Muffins signed with the British label Dindisc, a subsidiary of Virgin Records. Their debut album, "Metro Music," was released in 1980 and included the single "Echo Beach." The song became an international hit, reaching the top 10 in Canada, the UK, and several other countries. Its catchy melody and wistful lyrics captured the imagination of a generation and remain iconic to this day. The success of "Echo Beach" propelled the band into the spotlight. However, they faced challenges in maintaining their momentum. Their second album, "Trance and Dance" (1980), and third album, "This is the Ice Age" (1981), saw significant lineup changes. In 1982, the band released "Danseparc," another collaboration with new member, Daniel Lanois. The album further showcased their willingness to experiment with different sounds and production techniques. By the mid-1980s, Martha and the Muffins underwent a significant transformation, with Mark Gane and Martha Johnson remaining the core members. They released "Mystery Walk" in 1984, which included the Canadian hit "Black Stations/White Stations," a song that tackled issues of racial segregation in the music industry. Following the release of their 1985 album "The World is a Ball," Martha and the Muffins took a hiatus. During this period, Johnson and Gane focused on solo projects and other collaborations. Johnson released a solo album, "Solo One," in 1997, while Gane worked on various production and music projects. In the early 1990s, Martha and the Muffins reformed, primarily as a duo consisting of Johnson and Gane. They released "Modern Lullaby" in 1992, which was well-received by critics but did not achieve significant commercial success. After another extended hiatus, the band re-emerged in 2010 with the album "Delicate," which marked a return to their roots while incorporating modern influences. This period also saw renewed interest in their earlier work, with reissues and retrospective collections. Martha Johnson was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2001. She has been open about her battle and has faced significant challenges due to the progressive nature of the disease. Martha's diagnosis came after she began experiencing symptoms that interfered with her ability to perform and record music. The diagnosis was a significant moment for her, marking the beginning of a long journey to manage the condition while continuing her career in music. Despite the challenges, Martha has shown remarkable resilience. She has become an advocate for Parkinson's disease awareness, using her platform to educate others about the condition. Her advocacy includes speaking engagements and participating in events aimed at raising funds for research and support for those affected by the disease. She has not let Parkinson's disease define her or halt her creativity. Martha continues to be involved in music and is an inspiration to many. Martha has just released a new single to enhance awareness of PD and this week shares her personal reflections on music and living with Parkinson's disease. Her story is one of courage, persistence, and the power of music to transcend personal hardships.

Fran Millar built her reputation as a highly accomplished sports executive alongside Sir Dave Brailsford with Team Sky, rising through the executive peloton from Director of Business Operations to Head of Winning Behaviours and ultimately Chief Executive of the Ineos Grenadiers. In 2020 she traded cycling tours for catwalks, with her appointment as CEO of British fashion brand, Belstaff.Alongside Fran is her former pro-cyclist brother, David Millar; a rising star of the sport until he confessed to doping and was banned in 2004. David came back to cycling as a competitor but also as a committed and vocal campaigner for clean sport. He now splits his time between broadcasting duties and his cycling apparel company, CHPT3.Together in an interview for the first time, they talk candidly about living in the maelstrom of a doping scandal, how their sometimes conflicting approaches to clean cycling led to fractures in their relationship and about the crucial life lessons they learned from their shared experience.This four way conversation was recorded on 16th August 2022.

David Millar is the founder of Mantra Holistic Support, a Mens Work company guiding men to find purpose, clarity and the practical skills to thrive as men, partners and fathers. He created Mantra to provide the kind of support and brotherhood that was painfully lacking for him, when he went through a period of dark depression, hitting a crisis point when he became a dad for the first time. Through his company, David offers men the opportunity for coaching, in-person and online learning, immersive retreat experiences, and men's circle gatherings. He advocates for a reconnection to the wisdom of our community elders, and a reclamation of ceremony and rites of passage to mark the life stage transitions of the mature masculine, that he says we have lost, to the detriment of boys, men and fathers.

In this enthralling edition of Bobby and Jens, cycling maverick David Millar talks frankly and openly about his life in the peloton. From his early days growing up in Malta and Hong Kong to his first pro years at Cofidis, to his time as a road captain of Great Britain and Team Garmin. He opens up about his doping ban, his rehabilitation in the sport and why he chose to take a lead in stamping out the use of performance enhancing drugs in the peloton. Plus, there's more than a few stories of life on the road with his old pals Bobby and Jens! This episode of Bobby and Jens was produced by Mark Payne and edited by Tim Mossa.
After almost two years of episodes we decided to go through the archives and relive some of the best moments on the show. In this best of episode we relive the interview with Cadel Evans, Andy Schleck and Stuart O'Grady talking about the 2011 Tour de France. We also show the time we spoke with Baden Cooke and David Millar about the 2003 Tour de France. Adam Hansen offered us one of the most honest chats of the show chatting about the tough negotiations with his former HTC boss Bob Stapleton. And of course Allan Peiper rounds out the show with the most powerful and emotional interview after he won the 2020 Tour de France. On behalf of John and Dan we want to wish all our viewers and listeners a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Also huge thanks to Mark Watkin and the team from Bike Exchange for their ongoing support of the show.
So, this is it, retirement. Or, to put it another way, the longest off-season of my life. I've ridden my final race and in a few short weeks I will be officially retired from the professional peloton. When I made the decision that this would be my final season as a rider, I wanted to prepare myself for what comes next. And so, over the course of the year, as my mindset has changed and I've got closer to my final race, I spoke to some friends and former teammates about what to expect. In this episode, I speak to eight people who have all adjusted to retirement – some very recently, such as Tejay van Garderen, some longer ago like David Millar. Brett Lancaster, Andreas Klier and Robert Wagner have all stayed in the sport in some way, whereas Dom Rollin has gone in a completely different direction. I also speak to Grace Elvin and my good buddy Svein Tuft about the ups and downs of no longer being a pro athlete. What's it like to no longer be the best at something? How do we adjust to regular life? What can those who have gone before me tell me that can help me prepare for my own retirement? This is the final episode of Life in the Peloton for 2021. I hope you've enjoyed our season of shows. Thank you for all your support and kind comments and I'll see you on the road. I'm really looking forward to finding out what life outside the peloton has in store...

It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4's coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show. Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete's widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton. To hear more about the music, listen to the Andre Greipel episode of Life in the Peloton.
... well, actually Sepp Kuss didn't chase it down, but rather broke away on the final climb in the Pyrenees to become the first American to win a stage of the Tour since Tyler Farrar in 2011. Fittingly, Andorra is the country in which he resides, too. Ned Boulting, David Millar, Chris Boardman, Matt Rendell and Pete Kennaugh reflect - and also lament the pitfalls of betting on cycling. Don't do it, kids.

THIS EPISODE Mike meets up with Garmin-Sharp's gentleman racer and patron of the peloton, David Millar, at the Tour of Alberta to share a few cocktails and discuss everything from when it's time to call it a day (Spoiler: retirement plans are revealed) and what the future holds, the desperate need to please people vs. proving something to yourself, and how that affects your racing. They explore the balance between fame and self-indulgence, caring about what people think and say about you on social media, interacting (or not) with fans, and the addictive nature and ego trip of Twitter. Creed learns the proper pronunciation of "Millar," shames David into following him on Twitter again, and we're treated to a live nature break on air.Enjoy this fascinating conversation between two very different – and yet similarly stylish – and intelligent cyclists.Open Mic with Mike Creed is sponsored by The Colorado Cyclist, Mike's very first professional cycling team in 1998. Thanks to everyone at Colorado Cyclist for their support of Mike over the years, and a big thank you to them for stepping up and sponsoring the podcast.
