94. Adam Hansen, 20 back-to-back Grand Tours and president of the CPA

This week Will and James are joined by Adam Hansen, ex-pro and president of the professional riders union. As a rider, Hansen completed a record 20 consecutive Grand Tours, riding as a super-domestique first for Mark Cavendish and then for the bulk of his career with André Griepel. Hansen is also an incredible polymath, making his own carbon shoes (which weigh 76g) and writing bespoke software for this cycling team's logistics. His current day job is as president of the CPA - the Cyclistes Professionnels Associés, which represents most pro riders. He's also a staunch vegan who can go as deep as you want on why it should be the athlete's diet of choice.

As you can imagine Hansen is a font of knowledge and stories, so to tide you over in these festive times, we thought we'd give you an extended episode. We loved talking to him, we hope you like it. Merry Christmas!

Our chat begins at 4.52
