Jonny MitchellHOST
but yeah And I guess, like, obviously tonight we are going to get into world champs.
Jonny MitchellHOST
Before we begin, we do want to address the elephant in the room, right? As pretty much, I think if you're listening to this podcast, you probably will know, you know, Matthew Richardson was withdrawn from the racing by the Great Britain cycling team on the eve of competition.
Jonny MitchellHOST
There are a lot of reports in the media around allegations of a lot of various different things.
Jonny MitchellHOST
We, I guess just before we get into this, we are not going to discuss this on the podcast.
Ross TuckerHOST
But it is just an interesting thing to observe these guys who have sprint power in a road event have endurance power on the track.
Ross TuckerHOST
And your true sprinters are the Jeffrey Hoechlund and Matthew Richardson guys who produce.
Ross TuckerHOST
I mean, it's crazy watts, like 3,000 watts at the start line to get the bike moving in the first instance.
Ross TuckerHOST

Georgia HoltCORRESPONDENT
Those four days I was stood in the press corner, if you like, and she was warming up just 10 metres away from me.
Georgia HoltCORRESPONDENT
that woman can zone things out so i'm not a big fan of the media saying oh it's got to because of her boyfriend that's why a woman will go badly no actually people are allowed to be better than her and secondly um you know we're women we can absolutely drown out some noise surrounding us um i'm sure you know in the daytime when she's not racing there will be conversations with Matty that she's having, but no, I'm pretty sure that this isn't to do with Matty.
Georgia HoltCORRESPONDENT

Georgia HoltCORRESPONDENT
So yeah.
Georgia HoltCORRESPONDENT

Georgia HoltCORRESPONDENT
