ERIK AND RICK ZABEL DISCUSS FREEDOM ON WHEELS
Why would someone ride up mountains under their own steam – while enduring extreme suffering and with limited chance of success? And why would they get back on the bike the next day and do it all over again? What is the secret of this sport that unites the greatest sacrifices and the greatest joy? RICK ZABEL shares the answer in his bestseller ON THE ROAD. VON DER FREIHEIT AUF DEM RENNRAD [“On the Road: Freedom on Two Wheels”]. He talks to his father, ERIK ZABEL, sprint specialist and one of the most influential competitive cyclists of his generation, about his career, classic races from the Tour de France to the Giro d’Italia, iconic one-day competitions, life as a professional cyclist, team successes, Alpine passes and the joy of cycling. Host: OKKA GUNDEL
