I\\u2019m back this week with one of the more experienced riders in the Women\\u2019s Pro Peloton, British rider Hannah Barnes.
\\n
\\nAfter turning pro with United Healthcare in 2014, Hannah has ridden for Canyon-SRAM for the past six seasons and is set to move on to the new Uno-X team next year. As a youngster she was multiple national champion across several cycling disciplines, and most recently won the British national individual time trial in 2018. She\\u2019s also a Giro d\\u2019Italia stage winner and has finished top six in both Gent-Wevelgem and Li\\xe8ge-Bastogne-Li\\xe8ge.
\\n
\\nI was keen to hear Hannah\\u2019s story and how she came into cycling and the pro peloton. I loved hearing about her early years; watching her Dad race 24hr mountain bike events on the weekend, lying about her age when she was 12 so she could join one of the MTB relay teams and joining the local club at age 10 to start weekly racing.
\\n
\\nShe\\u2019s had a colourful career, across multiple continents and as you\\u2019ll hear, her fair share of ups and downs.
\\n
\\nI hope you enjoy the chat with Hannah, I know I did.
\\n
\\nStay tuned next week for more on our episode of Talking Luft!
\\n
\\nCheers,
\\nMitch

\\nTheme music
\\n
The theme music for Life in the Peloton was composed by Pete Shelley, who was lead singer of the punk band Buzzcocks. It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4\\u2019s coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show. Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete\\u2019s widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton. To hear more about the music, listen to the Andre Greipel episode of Life in the Peloton.
