JJ – Life as a Mechanic


Life on the road with a pro team sounds like all fun and games to the untrained ear. But in all reality it is gritty hard work, especially dealing with prima-donna cyclists as well. But Jac Johann, aka JJ, doesn't see it like that. He really does see it as the dream job, something he really just loves doing. He has a refreshing approach to the daily challenges of being a World Tour Mechanic, with no job too big or small. And it was great to sit down with him, one of the team behind our team, who we definitely couldn't do our best out on the road without. Enjoy!

As I also mention in the podcast, we are super excited to have joined the Wide Angle Podium Network which is an awesome community of cycling podcasts, including The Slow Ride Pod, The Gravel Lot and heaps more. We know ourselves that putting out a podcast regularly takes more work than it seems and so we're super happy to support the other great cycling shows that we love listening to ourselves. Wide Angle Podium is a place where you can also support the content you love by donating. This goes a long way for us in helping to bring you more quality episodes, insights into Life in the Peloton and let's not forget the occasional freebie!

Cheers, Mitch
