This week we take you behind the scenes at Trek Segafredo, the team of Alberto Contador, John Degenkolb and the former home of Fabian Cancellara. Narrated by Dane Cash, and with interviews with team manager Luca Guercilena, sports director Dirk Demol and several of the riders, we take you inside the team during the winter training camp in Spain. We look under the hood of the ambitious WorldTour team, tracing their roots to the merger between Leopard Trek and RadioShack Nissan, all the way to their present goals of winning the Tour de France and becoming the number one ranked team in the world. Guercilena became the manager in 2013 after a turbulent year in which former boss Johan Bruyneel left the team and was subsequently banned for ten years for his part in the US Postal team’s doping programme. It was left to Guercilena to pick up the pieces and his quiet revolution since then has transformed an aging team into a more dynamic force. In the podcast he talks about how he stamped a new identity on the team, his transfer policies and hopes for 2017.
