This is a crowd podcast.

Hello, I'm Garron Thomas.

And I'm Tom Fulnice.

And you've just entered the Garay Thomas Cycling Club.

Brought to you by Zwift.

Find your fun with the indoor cycling app where fun is fast.

Croiso. That's a bit of Welsh for you.

Tom, we're back. Do you have a great summer, mate? Do you miss me?

Yeah, I did miss you, but the nice thing about your profession is that I can always keep in touch

with you by tuning in either to

EuroSport or to ITV4 and see what you've been up to. It felt like a bit of a rollercoaster ride.

We'll get into your summer, but it made me remember that for people who want to support you

in big races, for your family, for your friends,

it's never easy, is it?

No, no, that's the lifestyle of a pro athlete.

Oh, yeah, maybe mine's a bit more up and down, literally.

But it wasn't one of the best summers, like you say, we'll get into that in a bit.

But yeah, there's very one way that is though, isn't it? Like, you can follow me and watch me, but I've missed you, mate.

I haven't really, I got the odd text from you, but I haven't seen your face.

Oh, that's nice.

You're looking good.

You're looking tanned, actually, Tom.
