Riley Sheehan: Winning as a Rookie

The Odd Tandem Cycling Podcast with Bobby Julich and Jens Voigt

Riley Sheehan is in his first full year in the pro peloton. Last year as a stagiaire he lived every rider's dream - winning one of cycling's oldest classics, Paris-Tours. The result led to him being signed to a three year deal by Israel Premier Tech where he's followed up his strong first act with a solid performance in the spring classics.

But Riley's route to the world tour was far from conventional, battling through the French amateur system, returning to the US and racing alongside former Sky man Sergio Henao on the criterium circuit before returning to Europe.. hopefully for good. He spoke to Bobby and Jens from a pre-Vuelta altitude camp in Andorra.
