philip hindes's video: Dan Bigham Jonny Wale The Rise of Team HuubWattbike The Aero Revolution PC 13

Introducing the underdogs of the cycling world; Team Huub Wattbike. With a non-traditional route into cycling, this team burst onto the scene at nationals and have held their own ever since. From maxing out credit cards to attend the World Cup, to their innovative approach to aerodynamics - they’re making waves (and winning them medals). This week, Olympic champions Callum Skinner and Philip Hindes talk to Huub Wattbike teammates Dan Bigham and Jonny Wale about all things cycling. Following on from Episode 12’s discussion on the National Road Championships, this cycling podcast begins with some other points of view and Bigham has his say on the day. In other news, Hindes is back in the gym, you guessed it; squatting. Then it’s full-speed ahead into Huub Wattbike’s inspiring story. Bigham (AKA The Raptor), initially studied and worked in performance engineering, when a chance opportunity gave him his first taste of cycling. Wale, however, had always been passionate about the sport and found his purpose within the team after battling mental health issues. “We’re literally here because we’ve got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ride our bikes really fast.” - Jonny Wale Having taken on the Commonwealth Games and won the team pursuit in the Belarus World Cup, Bigham and Wale share their winning strategies and forward-thinking focus on kit and aerodynamics. But it’s not been easy. From living in cramped quarters to home break-ins; their gritty determination has seen them endure some massive highs and lows. Now, they’ve been thrown another curveball: the UCI’s recent decision to ban trade teams in future World Cup races. We discuss their thoughts on the matter and what it means for the future of British cycling and Huub Wattbike. Show us the love by subscribing, rating and reviewing PodCrash.
