This week on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, James and Will talk to ex-pro, team DS and race director Scott Sunderland.

Today, Sunderland is race director for the RideLondon Classique and Tour of Flanders among others, but during the 1990s and 2000s he rode professionally for TVM, Lotto and GAN before taking on sports director roles at Team CSC and Cervélo Test Team.

Here, Sunderland talks racing through the troubled 1990s; a near career-ender when he got hit by a team car; orchestrating Classics wins with Fabian Cancellara; and breaking tens of thousands of pounds of kit in the Arenberg Forest, all in the name of science. Honest.

James Spender

James Spender is Cyclist magazine's deputy editor, which is odd given he barely knows what a verb is, let alone how to conjugate one. But he does really, really love bikes, particularly taking them apart and putting them back together again and wondering whether that leftover piece is really that important.  The riding and tinkering with bicycles started aged 5 when he took the stabilisers off his little red Raleigh, and over the years James has gone from racing mountain bikes at the Mountain of Hell and Mega Avalanche to riding gran fondos and sportives over much more civilised terrain. James is also one half of the Cyclist Magazine Podcast, and if he had to pick a guest to go for a drink with, he'd take Greg LeMond. Or Jens Voigt. Or Phil Liggett. Hang on... that's a harder choice than it sounds. Instagram: @james_spender Height: 179cm Weight: 79kg Saddle height: 76cm
