Summary
As well as discussing the eclectic roster being put together by the African team, we hear from rider agent Gary McQuaid, who looks after Bob Jungels, Adam Yates, Jai Hindley and others, and from one rider who's been left high and dry, James Shaw.
Shaw spent two years with Lotto-Soudal and has been trying to get back into the World Tour but is finding it tough. Still just 24, he feels he has a lot to offer and hopes to continue his professional career, but he also has a mortgage to pay and dogs to feed and worries that he is running out of time.

| 0:10.0 | Built for Small Businesses, iwoca.co.uk |
| 0:20.0 | Hello, my name's Richard Shaburr. On the lead guitar this week we've got Lionel Bernie. |
| 0:25.0 | You what? Hello. |
| 0:27.0 | Leap, Hello Lionel and on bass guitar and percussion, Daniel Freep. |
| 0:33.0 | Where is this coming from? Is this some Lionel Richie reference? Am I the Commodore? |
| 0:39.0 | No, no, no, a supplementary question for Lionel actually. Lionel, would you take me down to the Paradise City where the grass is green and the girls are pretty? |
| 0:49.0 | If you ask nicely Richard I would, yeah. |
| 0:53.0 | Please, where is this going? I think I know where this is going. |
| 0:57.0 | Now this is a, this is a revelation to me last night. We were in contact with Simon Geschka, who kept on the diary for us at the Tour de France. |
| 1:07.0 | And he sent us a lovely picture of himself with his Cycling Podcast mug, which we sent him, or Stacey Snyder sent him as a thank you for his diary. |
| 1:18.0 | And Lionel obviously studied the picture very closely and could see in a reflection on the window, a reflection of a picture of Guns and Rosas guitarist slash. |
| 1:29.0 | And the revelation to me was that Lionel is a big Guns and Rosas fan. |
| 1:33.0 | Well, no, the revelation should be that I did see Guns and Rosas live at the Milton Keynes Bowl in 1993 on an Eusier Illusion Tour. |
| 1:42.0 | I was a very big Guns and Rosas fan around that time, yes. |
| 1:47.0 | Did you have a long hair there? No, I didn't actually. No, I think the long hair had gone by then. |
| 1:54.0 | Probably did have a long hair when I was a bit younger than that. But I was working for a sensible newspaper, so I'd cut it all short by that stage. |
| 2:02.0 | Big metalhead in general, Lionel? No, not really. But I think people who are interested in that genre of music would say that Guns and Rosas aren't really heavy metal, they're kind of heavy rock, aren't they? |
| 2:15.0 | Were you more new metal? Limpy skit? No, no, no. They sort of transcend that little any kind of pigeon hauling, don't they? |
| 2:29.0 | I suppose Guns and Rosas populate mainstream poppill. There we are. There's the back candy compliment if ever there was one. |
| 2:38.0 | I just noticed, actually what caught my eye initially was the guitar hanging on Simon Kesheka's wall. |
| 2:47.0 | That's right, yeah. It's obviously slash because of the way he's holding the guitar, he's wearing the black top hat. |
