Greg explains what Olav Kooij got wrong, why Tim Merlier keeps finding a way to win, and how the disappearance of specialist sprint directors is leaving some of the world’s fastest riders without a proper plan.They also get into questionable relegations, the speed and danger of modern racing, why today’s sprinters need to hit more than 70km/h, and what it takes to come back after a serious crash.Plus: is Tadej Pogačar already the greatest of all time? Do Lance Armstrong’s seven Tours still count? And Greg shares three practical sessions for anyone wanting to become a faster, and hopefully better-looking sprinter.The Domestiques is presented by Black Sheep Cycling and supported by Join Cycling.
