For this episode I am joined by British rider Josh Giddings. Currently riding for Lotto Dstny Development Team, Josh has recently signed a 2 year Pro contract and is stepping up the Lotto Dstny World Tour team.

Josh grew up riding and racing on the road and on the track and had success in both as a youth including winning the Youth Tour of Assen and National Championship titles in the Madison and Omnium. He then continued this progress as a Junior rider winning more medals at the National Track Championships and European titles in the European Track Championships in Apeldoorn.

We chat about how these experiences shaped him as a rider and how as an U23 his focus has shifted to the road. Josh tells me about some of his memorable races with both the British National Team and the Lotto Dsty Devo Team. We also look ahead to joining the World Tour and Josh’s hopes for the future as a Pro rider.
