Walker Shaw has a long background of riding and racing across multiple cycling disciplines and today is the team manager for the Union. We sat down during the Les Gets World Champs to find out all about him. Hear about growing up and racing with his brother Luca. We chat about his transition into team management, get his thoughts on the Discovery takeover, the impact that has on team managers, the future of the sport and plenty more. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Walker Shaw.
