"What I love about cycling is the self improvement nature of it. I know i might not be the most talented rider, as a youth i was so far off it. But i just knew that if I just worked harder than everyone else, it would pay off."

In this latest episode, host Jordan Addison sits down with Rory Townsend, professional cyclist for Ireland & Canyon DHB Sungod respectively. A local to G!RO, born and raised in Surrey, we have seen Rory rise from local races as a junior, to his first professional contract, to representing Ireland at the World Championships in Harrogate 2019.

We really enjoyed speaking with Rory, and hearing his story of how hard work and dedication pays off, and in his case outweighs his natural talent as a junior. Its a great listen that celebrates the journey from Surrey Roads to racing around the World. Rory has aspirations to join a World Tour team, and hopes to represent Ireland at the Tokyo Olympics this year.... and we are fully behind him and wish him every success!

So sit back, grab a brew & enjoy!
