We had a tragic loss this weekend in the cycling community in Ireland. An unfair and cruel loss of a life and another senseless death to try and grapple with. Has the sport just become too dangerous? Every road rider in the world will have come across an irate, impatient or dangerous driver at some stage and shockingly there have been over 110 cyclists killed in the last year in the U.K. alone. Is road cycling just too dangerous? Today's Show Sponsor is Athletic Greens.

Do you want to know the power numbers, heart rate and mindset of a Cat 1 rider competing in one of the toughest races of the calendar? Anthony spills the beans and is brutally honest about the highs and lows of the last week racing the Rás Tailteann. If you have followed Anthonys story you'll know that this time last year he was struggling with his relationship with the bike, had a few extra kilos and was a million miles away from every competing at a high level again. After challenging himself to some massive goals this year (Migration Gravel Race, The Rift & Leadville) he dipped his toe again in competitive racing and no where better to begin than The Rás Tailteann.
