Stephen (or SLane as he's commonly known by those who find two syllables too long for a name...) has helped countless cyclists achieve their goals on the bike. Whether it be winning the local club series or making the step from the Aussie domestic scene to a fully-fledged pro.

SLane has a unique skillset, utilising both the knowledge gained through his academic pursuits and his own experiences in racing and training to provide coaching that is not only backed by science but proven to work in a practical sense.

We discuss not just his coaching methods but his own training and how he is now living most cyclists' dream of following the sun and riding his bike every day.

It felt like we could've touched on many areas here in a lot more depth than we had time for today, so let us know in the comments what you'd like to know a little more about next time I cross paths with SLane.
