Grischa Niermann: Masterminding Visma-Lease a Bike's Bounceback
Team Visma–Lease a Bike entered 2024 as the undisputed kings of the male peloton. Their riders had won every Grand Tour in 2023, their star rider Jonas Vingegaard looked was aiming to win his third straight Tour de France, amongst their 72 race victories. Instead, the gods of cycling had different plans. The team suffered misfortune with star riders Wout van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard amongst the team's riders who suffered serious, season altering crashes. That was before factoring in a resurgent Team UAE Emirates led by Tadej Pogacar - who enjoyed one of the greatest seasons ever in pro cycling. Following the departure of team boss Merijn Zeeman the leadership of the men's team will fall largely on the shoulders of Grischa Niermann. He joins Bobby and Jens and shares his reflections on a challenging year, and why he thinks the team is set to return to the top of the World Tour standings in 2025. The Odd Tandem is a Shocked Giraffe production and is produced by Mark Payne. The podcast theme is written and performed by Taylor Phinney.

Harry Tanfield: How to start a cycling team
Just over a week ago, Harry Tanfield was preparing for the 2025 season like most professional riders have been doing. Any thoughts of training camps and offseason rest were cancelled however, when his team Saint Piran announced their sudden closure. Saint Piran were one of two British UCI Continental teams competing in 2024, the other, Trinity Racing, had announced the closure of it's road offering the week prior. This left Harry, and British cycling in a dire situation. Below world tour level Ineos Grenadiers, the UK no longer had a single professional outfit. Harry joins the Odd Tandem to share his plan to build a brand new team, from the ground up on the tightest of deadlines. We investigate the challenge in front of Harry and take stock of the domestic scene in the USA and Germany in the process. This is a must listen for anyone who's ever wondered how a cycling team is formed.

Live at El Tour de Tucson: How to win an Olympic medal with Chloe Dygert and Nelson Vails
Bobby and Jens return to the El Tour de Tucson and host a special episode looking back at 40 years of Olympic history. Back in 1984, Nelson Vails became the first, and to date, only black American cyclist to achieve an Olympic medal when he won a sprint silver in Los Angeles. 20 years later, Bobby himself earned an Olympic silver on the streets of Athens. In 2024, Chloe Dygert earned her second Olympic gold medal on the boards in Paris - as a key part of the US team pursuit squad. Bobby and Jens tie these three very different eras together and discover what makes an Olympic medallist, what makes the experience unique and what do fans have to look forward to when the Olympic torch returns to US soil in four years time.
