Episode 10: Geoff Kabush on the evolution of a pro cyclist's job
Manage episode 321173815 series 3004417
Geoff Kabush has a unique perspective on what it means to be a pro cyclist. Not only has his career spanned more than two decades, it has also included three trips to the Olympics — not to mention four different cycling disciplines.
Kabush joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to offer his take on how the job description of a pro cyclist has changed over the years, for better and for worse. While sponsorships have always been part of the game, social media has complicated matters for athletes looking to focus on winning podiums rather than likes.
Kabush also recaps his thoughts on the burgeoning gravel race scene. Can the UCI actually make gravel racing better? Is gravel truly as inclusive as it purports to be? (Be sure to check out his article in CyclingTips for more perspective on the conversation.)
