Lionel BirnieHOST
You know, they, they've tried to have these unifying identities, but they always give way to the money, understandably so.
Lionel BirnieHOST
Um, so maybe go back right to the beginning, maybe Tour de Pro Cycling, I need to get on the phone to Fabian Cancellara and suggest some kind of cross sport crossover with Hemel Hempstead Town Football Club, and they can have a big Henry VIII on the jersey or a, yeah, Henry VIII style watch on big gold chains, and that could be their look-
Daniel FriebeHOST
Hmm
Lionel BirnieHOST
... for next season.
Johan BruyneelHOST
I mean, I'm going to say more than 200 bikes, but I think it's closer to 300 and 200.
Johan BruyneelHOST
A lot of iconic bikes, Cavendish, Sagan, Cancellara, Bornen, Museo.
Johan BruyneelHOST
I mean, all the champions have bikes there.
Johan BruyneelHOST
So that's impressive.
Jens VoigtGUEST
Um, we were three years in a row, we were the best team in the world.
Jens VoigtGUEST
You know, and one year when, I believe when Carlos Sastre won, or the year before when, when, uh, when Fabian Cancellara won the prologue in London, the worst rider on our team was Tour de France stage winner.
Jens VoigtGUEST
That was the weakest link, and then it just got world champions, Olympic champions, and some multiple stage winner.
Jens VoigtGUEST
W- we were a really good team, and- These survival camps, team building camps or team spirit building camps, like Bjarne used to call them, they did not make us faster on the bike, but they made us willing to go just one more time for the other.
Jens VoigtGUEST
So everybody is sleeping in their tents and sleeping bags, and Cancellara and me, we're sitting there and we have to stay awake that the fire doesn't stop, our campfire, and also that the fire doesn't spread out and we burn the entire forest down.
Jens VoigtGUEST
So we just sit there, just him and me.
Jens VoigtGUEST
And then Fabian Cancellara goes, "Hey, Jensie, look at this." And he pulled out his last chocolate bar and he shared it with me.
Jens VoigtGUEST
He could have easily have it by himself, you know, just, "Hey, I'm just gonna go and look for more firewood." He disappears in the forest.
Neal HendersonGUEST
... top quality riders coming up that were young and very successful that skipped the U23 ranks.
Neal HendersonGUEST
Fabian Cancellara is one of them.
Neal HendersonGUEST
Somebody told me that one of the reasons was the U23 field was actually rife with doping, and they were trying to prevent having some of these riders get put into that place-
Trevor ConnorHOST
Hmm
Geraint ThomasHOST
It's bonkers, really.
Geraint ThomasHOST
He's, like, you know how we talk about Tony Martin or Fabian Cancellara as the great, like, TTers? I don't know what you think, but I kind of feel like people don't speak about Remco like that, really.
Geraint ThomasHOST
Or maybe I just don't read it anymore, but I don't know.
Geraint ThomasHOST
Because he can do everything else as well.
Simon von BromleyHOST
You know, it's kind of interesting because Superdeep Road Rims had a kind of.
Simon von BromleyHOST
moment in the sun around the kind of fabian cancellara era i remember him running like zip 808s for milan san remo for example but now obviously the uci has banned super deep rims for road racing you can't have anything over 60 millimeters maybe 60 65 And so obviously that's kind of put a stop to that on the road.
Simon von BromleyHOST
Obviously there's plenty of areas where, you know, UCI doesn't have jurisdiction with gravel.
Simon von BromleyHOST
So, you know, do you think this is kind of about as deep as it's going to get? Or, you know, might we even see, you know, we have seen some people running disc wheels at races like Unbound.
Lionel BirnieHOST
a row.
Lionel BirnieHOST
Because Fabian Cancellara won four and Tony Martin won four.
Lionel BirnieHOST
But I think Cancellara did two and two.
Lionel BirnieHOST
Tony Martin won three and then another one at another point.
Ned BoultingHOST
So let's start with that, Alex Dowsett.
Ned BoultingHOST
How did you do in the era of Bradley Wiggins, Fabian Cancellara, Tony Martin, etc.?
Alex DowsettGUEST
So I was three times in the top ten.
Alex DowsettGUEST
One of those times was top five.
