Tune in to find out how a pro team is run and what the future of cycling might look like, as well as what Olympic advice Maize Wimbush got from Kristin Armstrong.
This week on the show Krisi & Kathryn are chatting with Nicola Cranmer. Nicola is the co-founder and general manager of Team Twenty24, an all-women’s professional cycling team whose mission is to develop and support female cyclists pursuing Olympic cycling. She founded the team 17 years ago, after her own experience racing on a co-ed team highlighted the need for women’s specific support & promotion both on and off the race course. Nicola also shares how exploring the world of gravel racing with the team this year has helped the riders on her team push themselves in new ways, develop skills and build a unique camaraderie that they didn’t have racing only on the road.

Some riders are superstitious, believing that they need everything just so in order to perform. They need just the right lucky clothing, or just the right type of coffee. World time trial champion Chloe Dygert is not such a rider. She doesn't even drink coffee. She just thrives off viewing the best riders in the world as benchmarks, and then getting to work on surpassing them. In this episode of Put Your Socks On, Dygert and her Team Twenty20 boss Nicola Cranmer discuss the pursuit of greatness. In Cranmer's case, that means finding and nurturing talented riders in challenging times as well as good times. For Dygert, that means a relentless work ethic and a refusal to settle — even for her current status as one of the absolute best riders in the world. "I'm definitely the kind of person that if you tell me, I can't do something, I'm going to do it, and I'm going to do it better than you would ever think," Dygert says. "I have role models, but I don't look at them and say I want to be like them. I look at them and say, 'you are a benchmark to what I want to be. I'm going to surpass you, I'm going to be better than you.' I want to be the best at anything and everything I do, and I thrive off of pain. I thrive off of other people's doubt, and I think that's also a huge benefactor into who I am today." As the world of cycling contemplates a cautious return to racing, Cranmer floats the idea of racing time trials exclusively for a little while. What does the reigning world TT champ think of this? "I would not be opposed," Dygert says.

Gravel is on fire now, and Bobby Julich is jumping on the bandwagon. "Let me just set the record straight: I am a full-on newbie, Cat 5 gravel rider. No doubt about it," says the Olympic medalist. "I want to make it clear to the gravel community that I'm not trying to tell you guys anything new. You know those scratch marks on the back of the bandwagon tailgate? Those are mine for just jumping on and trying to grasp what's going on here." With that perspective in mind, Bobby and Gus interview a host of riders about what actually got them into gravel in the first place. Guests include Nicola Cranmer, Chris Carmichael, Matt Accarrino, Drew Quartapella, Pete Stetina, Sarah Swallow, Shayna Powless and Kenny Carlsen. Bobby and Gus also debate whether or not a governing body should be involved in gravel. Bobby thinks there is some merit for safety's sake, but Gus takes a different view: "I feel like, down with the governing body and let it be a free for all," Gus says. "But then again, you know, I'm not necessarily the most responsible adults." Before talking gravel, the PYSO duo talk recent racing, including the surge in Colombian racing and Trofeo Laigueglia, which happened to be Bobby's first European race back in 1995. Give the pod a listen; it's time to Put Your Socks On.
