Gooday, everyone and welcome to talking Luft. I'm away on the Vuelter of Spanier at the moment,

and I got a chance to sit down with Hugh Carthy on the first rest day to talk a bit

of Luft. I'm doing things a little bit around the back way this time and I want to sit down with

Hugh on the second rest day and do a full podcast with him. I want everyone to send some questions in

because I think it would be great to get some Q&A with him, find a little bit about his backstory as well, and just have a little bit more extended chat with him. So if you don't know who Hugh Carthy is at the moment, check out Talking Luftwool listen this episode and you're going to find out exactly who he is and set yourself up, think about some questions, send them in, and we're going to have a chat to him next week on the second rest day,

and you'll hear those answers then. So until then, sit back and listen to this episode. I hope you enjoy. Well, here we are. It's the first rest day of the Vuelter of Spania.

Only six days deep, but more well and truly earned, I would say the first

six days were tough enough. I'm sitting here with Second on GC. He's already been on the podcast.

He's a bit of a regular. It's been a couple years since it. Hugh Carthy, welcome to Talking Luft,

mate. Thank you.

Thank you for having me.

How you feeling this morning before we get going?

Yeah, fresh, nice, relaxed.

You look fresh?

Yeah.

Explain the look that I'm wearing.

Not your look, but a look.

No.

It is a look, yes.

He's gone for, I would say, it's the 90s American influence long-sleeve shirt underneath the T-shirt look.

And when I grew up, yeah, I guess the skaters wore it, but it was a bold look to pull off.

This is Marino, though, so it's a step up.
