Kiel Reijnen joins to talk about his career as a cyclist. How it began with wins in some of the biggest American races and has morphed into that of a domestique and road captain for Trek-Segafredo. We talk about the move to the Pro Tour and what it requires.

Kiel talks about what he would like to see cycling media focus their attention on more. From the team aspect of racing, the little shown early parts of races and to the intense rivalries that exist between riders and teams.

We look back at Kiel's time in Boulder, his intense rivalry with good friend Alex Howes and how they settled it once and for all. Finally, Kiel talks about his decision to move back to where he grew up and his latest project to help young cyclists on the island.
