Summary

Tro-Bro Léon. The mini Paris-Roubaix. 200km of rolling Breton hills, aggressive racing, and the iconic farm track - or Ribinoù - the race is known for. This race is iconic, but niche. It’s a real racers race; if you know, you know. That’s why it’s the perfect setting for the second episode of Life In The Peloton’s Race Radio presented by SHOKZ. That’s right, Harry & Stu are back at the races to bring you all the sounds, sights, and smells from the roadside to take you on the journey with them. Here’s what the boys had to say about their adventure: Harry: Tro-Bro Léon – what a delight. Stu and I had a blast in Brittany, shucking oysters, shopping in Decathlon and cheering on Lewis Askey and Fred Wright. My personal highlight? Meeting 'Mr Pig' himself Laurent Pichon, legendary rider from the area and all-round nice guy. Bring on the Route d'Occitanie! Stu: Ribin-who? I only heard about this race a couple of years ago, and I’ve wanted to go ever since. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint... If only all races were this wild! This is France like I’ve never seen it before. Pure Breton passion, hard racing, great crowds. Mitch knows how to pick em! See you there next year? I only did this race once in my career, and for some reason EF gave me the green light to be the team’s leader and go for a result. How did it go? Well, let’s just say I’ve never won Tro-Bro…not even close. This is a real bastard of a race, but that’s why it’s loved so deeply by the fans. The iconic piglet prize presented to the best placed Breton rider is just one of the weird and wonderful things about Tro-Bro Léon, but after you listen to Harry & Stu’s latest adventure it’ll all make sense. Of course, none of this would be possible without support from our presenting partner SHOKZ. If you’re after the best sports headphones - be it for cycling, running, or even swimming - get across to SHOKZ’s website, and enjoy a cheeky discount for being a LITP listener. Guys, you don’t need me to tell you…but I’m going to anyway; this is a banger of an ep. Harry and Stu are just like you and me - real bike racing fans. Their passion is infectious, and after hearing this episode, I’m so pumped to get back roadside watching some live racing. If you enjoyed this one, drop the boys a line at raceradio@lifeinthepeloton.com and let them know! You’ll next hear from Life In The Peloton’s Race Radio presented by SHOKZ at La Route d'Occitanie in June - another niche race, but one that - in 2010 - saw one f the greatest stage victories of all time. Stay tuned. Cheers, Mitch
