Nicolas Roche in Dublin

Nicolas Roche was born to ride. His family is steeped in racing, with his dad Stephen a two-time Grand Tour winner. Nico’s Mum is French, and so he spent a lot of time there, but here, he took me on a ride out of Dublin on the roads he loves the most. As we set off from Dundrum in the south of the Irish capital, and head for the Wicklow Hills, Nico talks about everything from choosing his nationality, competing for the biggest teams, struggles with weight and why you don't have to look like a hardman to race like one.Find the route on Strava and see more on Instagram.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/homeroads.
