Hello, I'm Lionel Bernie and I'm with Daniel Freib for this episode of the Cycling Podcast.

Hello, Lionel. Where's Richie? At No Richie more this week he is on holiday. He is in the south of France, I think, on a little end of season break.

It's that time of year, isn't it? The road season is finally over and so we transfer all of our attention to indoor cycling with lots of tracks cycling going on.

And the cycle across Daniel, I'm sure you're probably multi-screening with all this going on at the moment, aren't you?

Not exactly Lionel. I've been turning my attention to holidays, although I haven't been allowed one yet, but I've been closely following the respective holidays, the various holidays of the pro riders, you know, the guys who we spend our season chasing around, bothering, pestering, some very... well, I've been very envious following, we're looking at some of their posts on social media.

Marco Hallers, in particular, Marco Haller, Oström rider, who rode for Bahrain, Victoria this year, next year's move to Borough, Hans Gras.

He announced very happy news on Instagram the other days, getting engaged or has got engaged. And he's also on holiday in Stellanbosch in South Africa, on a got on a fantastic call from Wine Resort.

Golf and Wine Resort, this is, I mean, this is your ideal holiday, isn't it? Really, that's where you should see.

Yeah, it looks pretty dreamy. It looks pretty, pretty nice.

Do you know if Marco Haller plays golf?

Yes, he does. He's a left-hander, Southport, took it up a couple of years ago, and yeah, he's quite promising up and coming player, actually.

Quite a nice swing, Lionel, I have been telling him he needs to get weight further forward in the down swing, but anyway.

I mean, this is a spin-off series of podcasts that I can feel in the early stages of formation here.

Either you go on holiday with pro cyclists, or you play a round of golf with pro riders.

Or I just give him swing tips from afar.

Well, should we get into the news roundup first of all?

As I said, the track cycling season is underway, and well, it kind of came to a climax with the World Track Cycling Championships in the Jean-Stablinsky Velodrome in Roubaix,

and the headlines from there were that the World 4-kilometer record breaker, Ashton Lambie, is now the World Champion in the individual pursuit.

He beat Jonathan Milan of Italy in the final, and the defending champion, Philippe Ogana, was the bronze medalist.

But it was a good week for the Italians, because they won the team pursuit and Elia Viviani won the elimination race.

Michael Mercu and Lassi Norman Hansson of Denmark won the Madison for the second year in a row.
