Episode 27: Pestering PR people at the Dauphine, the new Trek Madone + Hugh Carthy talks bike tech

Send us Fan MailIn the latest episode of the road.cc Podcast sponsored by Laka, we’re winding down after our trip to the Criterium du Dauphine. Live from the departure lounge (please excuse a rather enthusiastic French airport announcer who pops up occasionally) Liam, Mat and Andrew talk about what it’s like to head out to a World Tour race: watching it, hassling pro team PR people to get pics of unreleased bikes and more comedy mispronunciation of Toms Skujiņš all feature prominently! Liam and Dan also catch up with Hugh Carthy, the EF Education–EasyPost rider from Preston who loves to dig deep. Hugh reveals himself to be quite the bike nerd, telling us about his favourite vintage bikes back home and equipment preferences for big races. Laka bicycle insuranceCollective bicycle cover by Laka exists to rewrite the rules of insurance so it's something people stand with, not against.
