VeloNews Podcasts show

Summary: Bobby and Gus get philosophical on this episode, discussing the role pro cyclists and everyday riders should or shouldn't have when it comes to environmental activism and politics. Gus quotes Olympic founding father Pierre de Coubertin, arguing that sport exists to make the world a better place. Bobby counters that, for many, the purpose of sport is a diversion from reality. But before they jump into the big-picture discussion, Bobby and Gus catch you up on all the highlights of recent racing from the Tour Down Under, Cyclocross Worlds, and the Tour of Argentina.
