Show Notes
Bernie Eisel now mixes his time between his role as an assistant DS for Bora Hansgrohe and a commentator for GCN... but before all of that he was a well respected rider in the peloton. His eighteen year career is probably best remembered for his partnership with Mark Cavendish and he shares his own views of that relationship, plus Bernie reveals the truth about Marc Madiot, how he came to run the grupetto, how he starred on one of Jens' darkest days, what really goes on in the sprint train and offers a radical solution to the ongoing issue of camera bikes in the peloton!
Bobby and Jens is a Shocked Giraffe production for Velonews. This episode was produced by Mark Payne and edited by Tim Mossa.
