Rouleur Podcast February 2018 - Gary Kemp Feb 01, 2018

Show notes

"It's not about the numbers, it's always about the aesthetics." Musician and actor Gary Kemp - of Spandau Ballet fame - traces the links between music and the mountains, and why so many musicians seem to take to two wheels. Gary, who became a keen cyclist after a dinner conversation with the broadcaster Robert Elms, explains his love for the hills, why he won't be riding the Etape again any time soon, and why he'll never be a slave to statistics. Ian Parkinson is also joined by Rouleur's Ian Cleverly, and technical editor Stuart Clapp - who's talking about lube. Don't encourage him.

And eighties stars Paul Watson and Tim Harris remember the last "golden age" of UK cycling - when city centre crits drew crowds of thousands and ANC-Halfords took on the might of the continent.

Rouleur Podcast October - the TdF 2018 and Assos Oct 25, 2017

Show notes

Rouleur Editor Andy McGrath joins Ian Parkinson to pick through the route of the 2018 Tour De France. On paper, it looks like a course made for a fifth Froome victory. But the innovative route holds a few possible traps and challenges. And what about the important issues? The cathedral in Chartres, the regional sausages and the Pyrenean pig festival? Plus we talk to the UK Managing Director of the Swiss clothing company Assos, and give away tickets to the Rouleur Classic in the podcast quiz.
