The Cycling Podcast presents Life in the Peloton

Life in the Peloton is back after it’s break during the Tour de France. I had a great time covering that final week on the ground with The Cycling Podcast. Be sure to head over and have a listen if you missed it.

But we’re back to our regular programming with LITP, and for this episode I sat down with Danish rider and teammate at EF Education-Nippo Magnus Cort Nielsen.

Going on 7 years professional, Magnus has made his mark on the World Tour with stage wins at the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España, among many other WT victories.

Magnus grew up on one of Denmark’s islands in the Baltic Sea; Bornholm, with a population of 40 000 people and joined the World Tour with Orica Greenedge while I was also racing with them.

We picked up right where we left off when we both joined EF, so I was keen to get him on the podcast and hear more about his story growing up, his Grand Tour wins and where he’s headed in the future.

This was a great chat, I hope you enjoy learning more about Magnus. And stay tuned next week for our Talking Luft!

Cheers,

Mitch

Theme Music

The theme music for Life in the Peloton was composed by Pete Shelley, who was lead singer of the punk band Buzzcocks. It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4’s coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show. Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete’s widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton. To hear more about the music, listen to the Andre Greipel episode of Life in the Peloton.
