Resolutions, health tips and inspiration for the new year - we offer none of that as we stumble into 2025. Instead, settle yourself down for an hour of chat with Chris, David and Gary covering everything from neutralised moto-pacing to make races safer to the UK honours system. Plus we talk Six Days of Ghent (only 6 weeks late!) and remember the legendary Gianni Savio who passed away last week.
