Franco Marvulli: Hey Chris, it’s great to catch up! How have you been?
Chris Hoy: Franco! I’ve been doing well, thanks. Keeping busy with various projects and, of course, still sneaking in some rides whenever I can. How about you?
Franco Marvulli: Totally the same here! It’s funny how cycling stays in your blood even after you retire from racing. Speaking of which, have you been following the young talents in track cycling these days?
Chris Hoy: Absolutely. The new generation is incredible. The power and speed they bring to the track – it’s mind-blowing. But, I have to ask, do you ever get nostalgic about our racing days?
Franco Marvulli: Oh, all the time! Remember those intense Madison races? The adrenaline rush, the strategic exchanges… those were the days! You and your medal haul were always amazing to watch.
Chris Hoy: Haha, thanks, Franco. Speaking of the Madison, you were a force to be reckoned with. I remember you and Bruno Risi forming quite the formidable duo. Any memorable moments that stand out?
Franco Marvulli: Definitely! One that always pops up is the 2003 World Championships in Stuttgart. The crowd was absolutely electric. Bruno and I were in perfect sync – it felt like flying. It was one of those zen moments where everything clicked.
Chris Hoy: Sounds amazing. I think the camaraderie and teamwork in track cycling are what make the sport so special. It’s not just about individual talent, but how well you gel with your partner.
Franco Marvulli: Speaking of teamwork, Chris, you’ve been a huge advocate for mental health in sports. It’s so important for athletes to have a support system, right?
Chris Hoy: Absolutely, Franco. The pressures of competition can be immense, and having someone to talk to or a supportive environment can make all the difference. It’s something I wish more athletes would prioritize.
Franco Marvulli: 100%! Okay, switching gears a bit, what’s next on your plate? Any exciting projects we should know about?
Chris Hoy: Well, I’m currently working on a few initiatives to promote cycling among young people. Also, writing and adventures on two wheels are always on the horizon. And you? Any upcoming events we should keep an eye on?
Franco Marvulli: Same here, Chris. I’ve been focusing on coaching and sharing the knowledge I’ve gathered throughout the years. And, of course, there’s always an adventure waiting just around the corner.
Chris Hoy: That’s fantastic to hear, Franco. Here’s to more miles, smiles, and unforgettable moments on and off the track!
