XC racing has evolved.

In this episode of Moving The Needle, Andrew Neethling catches up with two huge personalities inside the Cannondale Factory Racing team that are pushing the evolution of XC racing. Luca Martin and Charlie Aldridge talk racing, training, gravity riding and life behind the scenes of World Cup XC. From flat pedals and eBikes to nearly missing race starts and accidentally brushing teeth with denture glue… this one is entertaining. Listen on Spotify or watch on YouTube. //
