One of my deepest regret is not having the means do sports while growing up. As Ajay said, this is why economic prosperity matters. It not only unlocks sporting potential among many other things, also helps everyone live life a little richer in terms of experiences. Thanks to both of you for this lovely episode.
Great to see an episode on cycling. I found out that TdF is one of the highest watched sports event in the world. I started following cycling from last 2 years, got inspired and got a cycle and have done 5000 Kms on it since. I channel my inner Vingegaard while going over a flyover and channel my inner Tom Pidcock while coming down.
Here after 2 months. Love the new thumbnail template.
This was so informative! Loved it so much. Could you also do one episode as Part 2, on Mountain Biking? Especially, what is it like in India?
Being from Bangalore and living in Gent, Belgium and being immersed in cycling, I loved the episode. Pretty much watch all the races. I have tried to explain a few tactics to my dad but with a lot less clarity than this episode. Thankfully he watches all your episodes while I listen to most of your podcasts. So will happily forward this to him. 'Allez, Allez, Allez!'
I don’t think I could do the bangalore - kanyakumari - bangalore cycling trip that I did in the summer of 1990 again. Even with better roads, cycles and facilities to eat and rest. Cycling is tough. Competitive cycling is another level altogether
Trust me it is one of the best sports to watch, and cycling today is having a new age moment. It was the TDF 2020 - stage 20 that sucked me into this sport and with GCNPlus it was served on a platter.
what a nordic vibe. there should be a true crime podcast by you two in this scenic background
Haters would argue that our podcast is only a true crime!
Loved the episode. Never knew competitive cycling was so much fun.
I'm still not done with the latest TSATUS episode and here comes another episode of EiE 😀.. really pushing my cognitive limits! 😁
This episode is for cycling what drive to survive is for F1!
