Welcome back to the Luncheon Rouge Cycling Podcast, presented by Zwift.

Not just me and Benji here today, we're here with Bus Tietema,

breaking up the offseason previews with, well, it is a team preview of sorts,

but we're making an exception because Bus amongst other people have launched the

Tour de Tietema, well, T-D-T unibet cycling team and as Bus is a friend of the

podcast and because he's got a different way, I guess, of approaching cycling

from a new media perspective, kind of like ourselves, felt like a natural

interview to ask why he's doing this, how his year went because he was on Bingo,

Michael and Bingo Al, in case you didn't know, this year, how that went and I guess

what goes into developing or creating a conti team, getting sponsors, equipment,

all that jazz and what their plans are for next year. So how are you going Bus?

Are you going on December camp with the team in a week?

No, we're not, we're going on the January camp.

Okay, we have a camp of three days, but not the usual culprit training camp now.

Okay, I think I'd drive past your team when I was in Danny at Yehren

in January, so you're not doing everyone in that, in the Colobnev, Campanars,

Hotel, Altitude, straight off the bat in January.

But how is your year? Is it year? It lost the different things back into world to races.

How was it? Yeah, it was, if you look back, was really a crazy year for me.

It started last October with training like, like, like crazy, like Benji is doing right now, like,

like 20 hours, 20 hours, 25 hours a week. Wow, I don't drink that much.

Wow, but it also making a lot of progress in the beginning, and I think it went all pretty well.
