Hello, it is us again  Ever wondered what three things your favourite athlete would take with them on a deserted island? Or what their favourite food is? Or perhaps the worst advice they’ve ever received?  Yes, we know you can’t get enough of our guests. In our new bonus series More Mettle, we fire 10 fun questions at our in-studio guests to peel back their professional layers and get to their humorous, quirky and uninhibited side.  Our first guest on the series is UAE Team ADQ rider Safiya Al Sayegh,  First Arab and Emirati on the UCI Women’s WorldTour.   Expect witty responses, very entertaining moments and a whole lot of laughs.
