The Birth of Australian Cycling New Era - 1984 Los Angeles Olympics
The NSW Story behind the 1984 Olympics Team Pursuit Gold Medal.
Australia’s Gold Medal win in the 1984 Team Pursuit Los Angeles Olympics caught the attention & imagination of the people of Australia who would then proudly support our cyclists into the AIS program.
The win came at a time when aerodynamic technology was pulling the bicycle into strange new shapes and sports itself was becoming a business. This podcast investigates a group of NSW administrators and cyclists that played major roles in that Gold Medal win. It describes how their passion for the sport put a system in place to defeat the world biggest budget teams and the countries that believed they owned cycle racing.
Australia was acknowledged as a world cycling trailblazer in 1984 and this podcast looks at the Cycling NSW members behind that Gold Medal.
Guests include – Ray Godkin, Alex Fulcher, Mark Fulcher, Geoff Scott, Kevin Nichols, Gary Sutton, Jock Bullen -- MARK WINDSOR (Cycling NSW Heritage Commission Chairman).

Local NSW connection to 2020 Tour de France Winner Tadej Pogacar
In 2018 NSW riders Tim Guy (Orange, NSW) and Ben Hill (Muswellbrook, NSW) rode with 2020 Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar in the Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum Team. Tim Guy was more than just a rider in the team as he assisted in the creation of the team and actually sponsored it through his Headcrack Company which raises awareness of Anxiety and Depression.
This podcast uses interviews from the last 4 years on the establishment of the Ljubljana Gusto Xaurum / Headcrack team and the development of the superstar Tadej Pogacar, with a focus on the NSW, Australian Connect.
It is a longer podcast than normal, as there are many twists to this story with references to the development pathways for elite young cyclists in Australia & Slovenia, the pressure of National Representation as a junior and links to other champions such as Rohan Dennis and Mark Renshaw.
This Podcast will also look into the growing problem of Anxiety and Depression.
