The Slow Spin Society Podcast Ep.28 - OLYMPIC SPECIAL!! Everything that happened at the IZU velodrome!
Shownotes
Hey fast people,
This week we bring you an XXL Upsized episode focusing on the Olympics! With the invaluable help of Marius, a follower of the SSS podcast and member of the Discord server, we were able to discuss the track events, results, crashes and disqualifications and, of course, the line-up of fancy and expensive track gear used by the quadzilla Olympians. Do you want to learn more about the most expensive track bike setup on the velodrome? The R&D behind Great Britain’s futuristic Hope x Lotus bike? Or perhaps even the history of the impressive Izu Velodrome?! Then this extended episode has got you covered!
