My guest today is Svein Tuft.
He is the character straight out of the Jack London book "The Call of the Wild"
He was professional cyclings unconventional cyclist, but his unconventional approach is what made him so successful. He knew what worked for him, he knew how to extract the best of himself for his success and his team's success.
He famously dragged the peloton for 190km in the Italian stage race Tirreno-Adriatico.
He won thirteen Canadian National Championships, represented Canada at the Olympic Games, was part of the Orica-GreenEdge team for 8 years, he was the driving force in time trial victory on stage 1 of the 2014 Giro d’Italia, where he spent time in the maglia rosa leaders jersey. He raced in the Tour de France, Giro D'Italia, the Vuelta a Espana, the one-day classics and week-long stage races, and he secured the silver medal in the time trial at the 2008 UCI Road World Championships.
When he wasn't clocking up thousands of kilometres on the paved roads as a professional cyclist, he was escaping to the wilds of Andorra and British Colombia on epic adventures into the unknown. His true calling is to discover and explore trails and single tracks into the mountains and wilderness. He is happiest when he is out on a ski touring adventure into the backcountry or humping his gravel bike over some monstrous mountain pass into the unknown.
On today's show, We talk about all this and more, so I think you are going to enjoy listening to Svein's adventures.
Hello friends, I am your host ASHLEY PETTIT welcome to another episode of Beyond the Mountains podcast. Where I talk to people who live, work and play in the mountains.
