Summary

Daniel Oss is the man. This long time World Tour professional raced on some of the biggest teams alongside some of the biggest names in the sport. From Liquigas to BMC to Bora-Hansgrohe to TotalEnergies, he was easy to pick out from the bunch with his rock-star long hair. He was also nearly always at the front and often pulling Peter Sagan along to victory. He's now a gravel privateer as well as a commentator for EuroSport, taking on UCI races as well as Unbound. Ted and Daniel were teammates for two years beginning in 2011 and this was a very fun catch up at a brewery in Emporia, KS a few days before Unbound.

0:36.8	So as much as I tried out my
0:38.3	Italian, I am certain that I spoke like a two-year-old. Danny was a great teammate, a very good
0:44.0	friend, and this conversation was a really, really enjoyable one for me. You see, he was visiting
0:49.3	the U.S. for Unbound, as he's part of this modern age of world tour cyclists hanging up their skinny

1:07.2	And so, in the spirit of gravel, we were both in Emporia for the week leading up to the event.
1:12.0	We each got our rides in in the morning, and then we met up at a local brewery.
1:15.5	We proceeded to chat and record a conversation over a handful of tasty adult beverages.
