We Tried To Win Paris Roubaix Grand Fondo (Crazy Experience)

A podcast to help you Train Smarter and Race Faster. Hosted by expert Triathlon coach, Australian Ironman Champion and 15 x Aus Age group Champion Gerard Donnelly, and his son, multiple Triathlon + Cycling Aus Age Group Champion Jordy Donnelly. Join us in this episode as we delve into the exciting moments that have taken place in the spring classics racing these last few weeks. After spending two incredible weeks in Belgium and France, we got to see up close what makes the pros so good, and what we can take from their training and racing tactics. These lessons apply to any triathlete or runner, and not just cyclists. And as amateur athletes there are key things you want to do that the pros do, and key things that we should be avoiding! Plus, we raced the Paris Roubaix Gran Fondo and rode as a team to try and win it, listen in to hear how we went.
