The Iconic Series begins with a name that carries real weight in South African cycling: Nic White. In this first episode, we sit down with one of the sport’s most respected and influential figures to unpack a career filled with legendary stories, hard racing, unforgettable wins, and a deep love for the bicycle itself. From the old Joburg racing scene to European cobbled classics, Morocco, HSBC, Microsoft, and the evolution of South African cycling, Nic shares the kind of perspective you rarely get in one conversation. This is more than a podcast about results. It’s about the culture, the characters, the suffering, the freedom, and the journey that helped shape an era.
