Summary
This week's Performance Process podcast is a TT special as we trial a new format. First we kick off with a performance news round up and then delve into an interview with none other than Stefan Küng. We ask the former European and Swiss TT champion if "watt monsters" are an endangered species in time trialling, if he is actually a TT specialist, and if time trialling is now just an arms race and too dangerous. Plus, we get an update on his lost wedding ring.
