Hello, I'm Ned Bolting and I'm David Miller. Welcome to Revuelta, our first foray into podcasting from the third and final grand tour of the cycling year, brought to you an association with Chapter 3 and the Roadbook.

Now, since you kindly mention it, David, the roadbook is my pride and joy. As the editor, I was delighted to be able to publish it for the first time last year in 2018. It's an almanac of the highest calibre detailing a year of racing across the whole array of

classifications and continents, all lovingly recalled over 900 pages of data, information, thoughtful

reports and fascinating essays, and we're working hard on the 2019 edition.

And chapter three, the brand I founded in 2015, it represents the next chapter of my life,

a transition out of racing to building a company and brand that could grow and learn off

the back of my previous life as a pro cyclist.

I'm beginning to learn that we all have a next chapter, and we can all be bike riders.

And I hope over time, chapter three can cater to everybody.

All right. That's the world-class spiel done with. Here's a world-class podcast.

Well, here we are.

We've done an excellent preview podcast, but this is it.

This is where it really starts.

This is episode one, if you like, for full real of Revuelta, which is increased.

Well, it's just, I'm not comfortable saying it.

That was better.

It was better.

It was better than my mangling of it in the preview podcast.

I'm Ned Bolting and David Miller is sitting alongside me.

And our commentary engines, because we have prodigious commentary engines, David, they are ticking.

That lovely reassuring sound of hot metal cooling down in the evening air.

Listen, that's the sound of our commentary engines just cooling down, isn't it?
