We've referenced Will Hardin's youtube POV videos a lot this season on the show, so it was awesome to have him on fresh from his race at Legion's inaugural edition of CRIT Championship Tour in St Pete Florida. We talk about his experience ther
We're SO psyched to have former world tour pro Chloe Hosking on The American Peloton! She's won some of the biggest races in women's road cycling like La Course by Tour De France on the Champs Elysees, the Commonwealth Games, Cadel Evans Great
We've got to address the Justin Williams suspension fallout up top, because the responses have been UNHINGED. I feel like any discussion of Legion get flattened to "Legion good" vs "Legion bad", but there's way more nuance there. We all contai
We're introducing a new award...or segment... or something. The American Peloton Combativity Award! Handing out the inaugural virtual jerseys this week. Two big crits at high altitudes in Colorado produced some interesting racing. We're talkin

The First NCL Race is this weekend, so we spend most of the episode talking all things NCL. We know a little more now than we did last episode, and I dug up an NCL race from the 90's. Before all of that we talk about the smaller races that have
Catching up on lots of racing after our Gabe Mendez interview last time. Goin all over the country to talk big teams at small races, whos gearing up, and what they're gearing up for.
*Jonathan here, sorry my audio comes in a little hot and Gabe was on a phone. I did my best to tame it all in post production, but I did make sure the episode is all audible and intelligible. There was too much wild stuff in here not to use it.
