Description
In the latest episode Matt talks to Olympic silver-medallist and world road race champion LIZZIE ARMITSTEAD (now Deignan) about her book STEADFAST. We begin with the 3 missed doping tests which almost derailed her chances of competing in the 2016 Olympics but also hear her thoughts on what needs to happen in women's cycling, an unsavoury episode in a team hotel early in her racing career and why she feels "Lizzie Armistead" doesn't sound like a world champion - even though she is!
