Welcome to the very first episode of THE RIDE Podcast!

Thank you so much for tuning in and from now on, we'll be bringing you a weekly take on the Wonderful World of Cycling the way we see it - from the bottom of the world (New Zealand) while trying to have as much fun as we can.

So in this first episode, Jon and 'M' from THE RIDE got the chance to chat with kiwi Tour de France rider, Dion Smith, the first New Zealander to hold a leader's jersey at the Tour - the polka dot, King of the Mountains jersey, that he won on Stage 2. 

We also recorded our interview on video, and you can watch that on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/theridecc 

Special thanks to Dion, Jon and to our friends at Giltrap ŠKODA - enjoy!

We get some unique insights into Tour life from the EF Education First-Drapac powered by Cannondale rider and ask the tough questions...like, what does the 'EF' stand for in that ridiculously long team name.

Special thanks to Tom and our friends at Giltrap ŠKODA!
