S9 Ep126: Life in the Peloton – Magnus Cort Nielsen

<div>Life in the Peloton is back with a chat with my teammate Magnus Cort Nielsen, who talks through his journey from growing up on one of Denmark's islands to winning stages in the Tour de France and the Vuelta a España.<br> <br> Magnus had another great Tour, finishing strongly with a top ten in the time trial on the final Saturday of the race, and that was a stage I was able to witness in the flesh.<br> <br> It was great to join The Cycling Podcast for the final week of their Tour coverage because it gave me a chance to see what life is like outside the peloton and on the other side of the fence, so to speak. I learned a lot about what goes on at the grand tours outside our riders' bubble and I have to say covering the race was a lot more tiring than I thought it would be. I really enjoyed my week and hopefully it's something I'll get the chance to do again soon.<br> <br> I'll be returning to racing myself soon as I head towards the final events of my pro career. Next time out on Life in the Peloton I'll be sharing my thoughts on a recent bikepacking ride I did in Sweden before I headed to France to join Richard and François.<br> <br> But before all that, though, sit back and enjoy my conversation with Magnus.</div> <div><br> </div> <div>Cheers,<br> Mitch<br> <br> <a href="https://audioboom.com/playlists/4630938-life-in-the-peloton-with-mitch-docker"><strong>Life in the Peloton playlist</strong></a><br> <br> <strong>Keep in touch with Life in the Peloton</strong><br> <br> Keep up to date with everything that’s going on with Life in the Peloton at my website <a href="https://lifeinthepeloton.com/">lifeinthepeloton.com</a><br> <br> <strong>Life in the Peloton shop<br> </strong>Check out my range of Life in the Peloton merchandise on our Etsy store too, from beanies and caps to embroidered tees, logo tees and much more. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LifeinthePeloton">Visit the Etsy store.</a> <br> <br> <strong>Or follow on social media:</strong><br> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifeinthepelo
