Cyclist Magazine Podcast episode 94: Adam Hansen, 20 back-to-back Grand Tours and president of the CPA
Joining Will and James on the Cyclist Magazine Podcast this week is Adam Hansen, ex-pro road racer and president of the professional cyclists’ union.
As a rider, Hansen completed a record 20 consecutive Grand Tours between 2011 and 2018, riding as a super-domestique first for Mark Cavendish and then for the bulk of his career with André Greipel. Hansen is also an incredible polymath, making his own carbon shoes (which weigh 76g) and writing bespoke software for his Lotto team’s logistics.
His current day job is as president of the CPA – the Cyclistes Professionels Associés, which represents most pro riders. He’s also a staunch vegan who can go as deep as you want on why it should be the athlete’s diet of choice.
As you can imagine, Hansen is a font of knowledge and stories, so to tide you over in these festive times, we thought we’d give you an extended episode. We loved talking to him and hope you like it. Merry Christmas!

Our chat begins at 4:52.
