Summary
Today we’re joined by Irish enduro star, Greg Callaghan. Greg has recently moved away from a factory team and created his very own programme. We talk about what went into that and how he approached putting together a package to enable him to perform. We’ll delve into his 2024 Enduro World Cup season, his thoughts on how the sport has evolved, and the adaptations he’s made along the way. I chat with Greg about his experience of racing the eEnduro to get some insight into this new discipline and how it works. Greg has a wealth of experience in the sport and it shows in this episode with some great insight into what it takes to perform. So, it’s time to sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Greg Callaghan.
