Episode 20: WORLD CHAMPS! The Nice 70.3 Race Recap
70.3 World Champs is officially in the books and WOW was it a memorable weekend!
We kick things off with the pro races, from Taylor Knibb’s absolute domination on the bike and Julie Derron’s ridiculous run, to Hayden Wilde’s first 70.3 world title, Kristian Blummenfelt’s charge through the field and all the other storylines that made the racing so good.
Then it’s Mardi’s turn: what it’s actually like to race a 70.3 World Championship, the road bike vs TT debate, THAT descent, a seriously satisfying run and the Happy Pace crew making the whole experience so so special.
A week and an episode for the ages!
