For The Love Of Cycling
by Crowd Network
For The Love Of Cycling is exactly what it sounds like. Four people obsessed with cycling. Ned Boulting has spent decades narrating the drama from the commentary box, bringing the stories of the peloton to life, spotting the moments others miss and putting words to the madness. David Millar knows that madness better than most. A former pro who raced at the very top and brings a sharp, unfiltered view of how the sport really works. Pete Kennaugh brings the view from inside the bunch, a former Team Sky road captain who’s ridden through the chaos of Grand Tours and come out the other side with the kind of insight you only get from being there. And Lizzie Deignan adds world-class insight from the women’s peloton, with the experience of a champion who’s raced, won, and helped shape the sport. Between them, they’ve lived cycling from just about every angle. They’ll take you into the heart of the biggest (and smallest) races. Not just what happened
