S9 Ep78: Life in the Peloton – Tsgabu Grmay

<div>Life in the Peloton is back after taking a break while the Giro d'Italia was on, which gave me a chance to sit down with someone I've wanted to get on the podcast for a long time.<br> <br> Tsgabu Grmay rides for my old team, now called Team Bike Exchange, and he's racing his tenth season in the pro peloton. He was born and brought up in the Tigray region of Ethiopia and comes from a sporty family. I was really interested to hear the story of how he got into cycling and made it to the Tour de France, which has ridden three times and completed twice. But I was most inspired by his goal-setting and his attitude to getting the most out of himself.<br> <br> But as inspirational as I found talking to Tsgabu, it wasn't quite enough to persuade me to reconsider the big decision I announced a few weeks ago. I've decided this will be my final season and, all being well, I'll end my pro career at Paris-Roubaix in October. It's time to find out what life has in store for me outside the peloton...<br> <br> Don't worry, though, there's still plenty more podcasts to come, and I hope you enjoy this one.<br> <br> Cheers,<br> Mitch<br> <br> Photo by Kristof Ramon <a href="https://twitter.com/kristoframon">@KristofRamon</a>.<br> <br> <a href="https://audioboom.com/playlists/4630938-life-in-the-peloton-with-mitch-docker"><strong>Life in the Peloton 2020 playlist</strong></a><br> <br> <strong>Keep in touch with Life in the Peloton</strong><br> <br> Keep up to date with everything that’s going on with Life in the Peloton at my website <a href="https://lifeinthepeloton.com/">lifeinthepeloton.com</a><br> <br> <strong>Life in the Peloton shop<br> </strong>Check out my range of Life in the Peloton merchandise on our Etsy store too, from beanies and caps to embroidered tees, logo tees and much more. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LifeinthePeloton">Visit the Etsy store.</a> <br> <br> <strong>Or follow on social media:</strong><br> Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lifeinthepeloton/">@lifeinthepeloton</a><br> Twitter: <a
