Interview of the season | Max on Stuey O’Grady, Pogi and Carapaz

Description

Max Gawn joins from Thailand for a Wednesday Social Club. He reckons if Pogačar comes to the Tour Down Under, he falls in love with it and comes back three years running. And if anyone has the mail, it's Michael Matthews.

We unpack the points system and why being a top-three ProTeam is now the money spot in cycling. That brings in Euskaltel's late points dash for Mikel Landa, and the Oceania Champs heading to Adelaide in January with 250 UCI points up for grabs.

Also in this episode:

• Reflections on the Stuart O'Grady interview and the state of Australian cycling
• Max's 2015 Player Revue, and what free drink cards will get you
• Widar beats Pidcock in Guangxi, Simmons v Healy at the Japan Cup, Campenaerts wins the Eneco Tour and McNulty finally wins in the rainbow stripes
• Another car on the course, Adam Hansen's battle for rider safety, and the NOS investigation into Picnic PostNL
• Carapaz to NSN, EF's finances, Ayuso's tough first year at Lidl-Trek, Roglič playing the field and Matt White leaving Movistar
• Max's Patagonia prep, Zwift top-ups between running sessions, and why he might be a Giant Defy man for life

The Social Club is presented by Giant.
