Nigel Page – Life on Two Wheels

July 9, 2019

Nigel Page joins me on the podcast this week. I grew up watching Pagey at the races, so it was great to sit down for a chat and hear his story. We chat about his background, and his time as a pro-racer. We also chat about his time working as a commentator, including that awesome Danny Hart World Champs run, and his time as a team manager. Hear how Nigel came to sign Sam Hill to the team, and what he’s like to work with. We’ve also got a Sam Hill jersey to give away, so have a listen to find out how to win it. It’s a long one, so sit back, relax, and enjoy…

This episode of the podcast is supported by Komoot, a route planning and navigation app that’s actually designed to work for Mountain Biking!
