Bradley McGee is an Australian cycling legend.
In an illustrious career, he snared five Commonwealth Games gold medals and a host of other cycling accolades.
He is still the only competitor to ever wear the winner’s jersey in the top three world road cycling tours: The Tour De France, the Tour of Italy and the Tour of Spain.
Now retired, he is the Australian men’s national road coach and head coach at the NSW Institute of Sport.
He’ll be in the Darling Downs this week for the Tour of Toowoomba road cycling event and it was my pleasure to chat with him on this morning’s show.
We talked about the similarities between the Tour of Toowoomba’s more challenging legs and those of the some of the European tours, the attributes of a champion road cyclist and what it really feels like to work through the pain barrier of endurance racing.
