In this episode, I chat with Ric Jamieson, XC MTB Talent Development Coach at British Cycling. We discuss everything talent development, so this is a particualry good episode for young aspiring racers and their parents. That said, there is still plenty the adults can learn from it as well, as we discuss training and racing mistakes everyone makes and lessons that can be learned.

So I hope you enjoy the episode and it can help you get more from your riding and racing.
