In this week\\u2019s episode of The Cycling Podcast, we take you inside one of the more dramatic and harrowing stories of the 2023 season - a crash that abruptly ended one rider\\u2019s realistic chance of winning the Giro d\\u2019Italia, his season and also his seven-year career with the team that, as a teenager, he had dreamed of one day joining.\\xa0
\\n
\\nThat rider is Tao Geoghegan Hart - and he is also our guest and Daniel Friebe\\u2019s conversation partner this week. We hear about the initial trauma of the accident, the ordeal of the days that followed and the slow and sometimes tedious battle to regain fitness. In addition, Tao looks ahead to his new start with Lidl-Trek and nominates some of his heroes and heroines of 2023.\\xa0
