To celebrate 2 years of the VCDL Pod, we have tweaked our format a bit. Fear not though, it’s still the same cosy, fireside fan-chat between Gary & Graham as this week they discuss the UCI Road World Championships, Tyler Hamilton’s book, The Secret Race & the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup season.
As far as the Road World Champs is concerned, we ask whether we are reading too much into the post-race comments of Nicole Cooke & Emma Pooley (probably). Whether we were wrong to suggest Taylor Phinney was over-hyped (almost certainly) and whether Stannard could blitz the Classics if Sky supported him (we bloody-well hope so!)
We bring you our thoughts on Tyler Hamilton’s magnificant octopus, The Secret Race, and ask whether it is morally wrong for him to be making money out of a career of dishonesty.
Finally, we wrap up the UCI Mountain Bike World Cup with a season review and we trail (trail? geddit? – oh, never mind) an interview with Tracy Moseley. The full interview can be heard on our forthcoming VCDL Extra which literally no-one has been asking us to produce.

Hi guys, another great podcast, what’s the cheery song at the very beginning?
Thanks,
Tom
Hi Tom,
Thanks for your kind words. The song at the start is called Selfish Days by a half-Scots/half-Canadian band from the late ’80s called Five Guys Named Moe (not to be confused with the musical of the same name). I saw them in Glasgow a couple of times around that time & they then disappeared without trace, leaving us with one, prefect pop album that I still love. Long answer – but there you go, glad you liked it!
Thanks for listening – spread the word.
Cheers,
Graham
Hi Guys,
Thanks for that Graham it only took me a month to remember to come back and see if you’d replied. I remember FGNM very well indeed, having been active in self same pop world at that time. Don’t recall ever crossing paths with them but still that’s a fine tune which I will check out on the iTunes (did you see what I did there?)
Anyway I will also put a wee comment next to your Brian Smith podcast extra, watch that space!
Tom
