Welcome back to the Lantern Rouge Cycling Podcast. This is just a 20 to 25 minute chat.

I had with Tom Pidcock who was kind enough to join us from his training camp in Europe.

I was mind mourning his evening, so cheers to Tom for making the time. And we just went through

what he expects, what races he expects to do this season, how he thinks doing Cycle Cross fits in

with the road racing. We discussed a bit of the zero last year and the euro champs under 23

individual time trial, what he thinks his styles or strengths and weaknesses are as a rider

and just a bit of an informal discussion. So if you'd like these sort of 20 to 30 minute chats

with riders, let us know and let us know which rider you'd like us to reach out to an interview

with their press officers. It's really hard to get access to riders during the middle of races

and grand tours, understandably. So if you want to see more or hear more from your favorite rider,

let us know and we'll do our best to try and tee that up. Now these guys are still pretty busy.

six hours in the morning or sort of from nine to three or whenever. They know they've got some

other team obligations, a photo shoot, they got dinner, they got talking to coaches, et cetera.

So they're still at a pretty full date. But anyway, that's enough from me. Here's the interview with

Tom Peacock. Hope you enjoy it. Tom Peacock, welcome to the Lantern Rouge cycling podcast.

Big guest. Where are you now? The mystery around it and I'm a little bit confused myself.

Got the CX season at the moment. Could you maybe just explain to people how the CX

inios sign in transition is working this year? Is the first road racing in March?

And you're fulfilling the full CX season before then? Yeah, exactly.

So yeah, it's January. I don't know when this is going out, but it's January. I finished
