00:00 - Australian cycling is all about speed.

00:02 Whether it's at the local velodrome,

00:05 an amateur criterium, or racing down the Champs-Élysées,

00:09 we love to go fast and we love to win.

00:12 - You know, most Australians that are doing well now,

00:15 they're hard guys and they're hungry guys

00:17 because, you know, they sacrifice a lot to be here.

00:20 - The track gives you more opportunity

00:21 to go through that race day process,

00:24 that mindset that you need to execute

00:27 to try and win bike races.

00:29 - There's not many athletes that go from sprinter

00:31 to road rider when you're one of them.

00:33 - You're born with sprint fibres,

00:35 but you can train endurance fibres.

00:38 - I'll learn about the physical.

00:39 - The more aggressive the racing,

00:42 the better it was for me.

00:44 - And more interestingly, the mental capabilities

00:48 required to be one of the fastest sprinters in the peloton.

00:51 - Particularly with Australian sprinters,

00:55 they're not backward in coming forward

01:00 You've got to go in with plenty of attitude.

01:02 - It's Nods, it's one for the mantlepiece,

01:04 it's Caleb Ewan.

01:06 - I want to find out why it is that my homeland of Australia

01:09 has been able to produce so many great sprinters.

01:12 - One of the first sessions my dad did with me,

01:17 he was teaching me how to throw headbutts on elbows.

01:20 - Look at O'Grady there, battling it.

01:22 - I'm off to catch up with Robbie.

01:24 Any special messages?

01:25 - Oh, I can give him a headbutt or two.

01:27 - Righto.

01:28 - Other than that, say good day.
