Tom Southam: “You have to be constantly moving, constantly changing”
Tom Southam is a British former competitive cyclist from Penzance, Cornwall, who competed professionally between 2003 and 2011, finishing his career with the team Rapha Condor. His racing highlights include representing Great Britain in five World Championships and getting silver in two, and riding in several UCI ProTour events. Since the end of his pro-cycling career, he served as a DS for several teams, namely Drapac Professional Cycling or Cannondale-Drapac before sticking with multiple iterations of what later became his current team, EF Education-EasyPost.
Outside of his hands-on involvement with the sport, Southam also co-wrote the book Domestique: The True Life Ups and Downs of a Tour Pro with former team-mate Charly Wegelius and has written for magazines such as Rouleur and Procyc...

EF Education First-Drapac team car - day 1 of the 2018 WorldTour
The view from the passenger seat of the opening day of the 2018 WorldTour, the first stage of the Santos Tour Down Under.
Directeur sportif: Tom Southam.
Rider appearances by: Will Clarke, Brendan Canty, Mitch Docker, Logan Owen.
The race ran to script. But André Greipel won, not Caleb (as predicted).
Will never heard the instruction for him to stop working in the break.
He raced until the peloton caught him 20km from the finish.
The team earned podium time on the first day that EF Education First, the new primary title sponsor, was part of the WorldTour peloton: Most Competitive Rider.
Will Clarke gave his flowers to his mum.

Rapha presents Talking Luft!
Well, it’s the first episode of Talking Luft for the year, and I’ve got something a little bit different for you first up! We’ve kicked off with a recap of our live daily pods from last week’s TDU, as presented at the Rapha pop-up in the race village.
At Tour Down Under, I presented a live daily wrap-up of all the race action, in The Race Communique with my friend and Sports Director Tom Southam. We also chatted with a few special guests, including the legend himself Phil Liggett and caught up with my old mate Matt Goss.
I hope you have a few laughs and enjoy listening along to all the TDU action as much as I enjoyed recording these. And a heads up – don’t miss Phil’s phantom Paris-Roubaix call, wher...

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP
This episode is supported by our friends at The Escape Collective.
The Tour de France is here, and this week’s Race Communique podcast is our Tour preview with a difference!
I’m joined, as always, by Luke Durbridge and Tom Southam, who’d literally just got their fresh TDF haircuts, to discuss our takes on the race.
Luke will be on the start grid of his 10th Tour in a row, and Tom will be hopping into his air-conditioned team car and directing what will be his 8th.
The two of them have a huge amount of experience in and around the race, and we get right in behind the scenes as a rider and a DS at the big show!
Before we got into the details of the Tour, there was plenty of action t...

With Matt, they took a deep dive into his decorated pro-cycling past and directeur sportif present, discussed a DS’s best and second-best quality, staying on top of things in the sport’s rapidly changing landscape, how building a robust relationship with the riders also means them being comfortable hearing they did something wrong, favourite 2023 season racing moments and more.

I hope you have a few laughs and enjoy listening along to all the TDU action as much as I enjoyed recording these. And a heads up – don’t miss Phil’s phantom Paris-Roubaix call, where I make it to the finish in a three-up sprint against Luke Durbridge and Tom Boonen and get to live out my dream of winning the Hell of the North.
I want to say a big thanks to all of you out there for getting back on board with Life in the Peloton and Talking Luft this year! It’s great to be back, and I can’t wait to bring all our ideas to life for all of you listening along out there in 2023. Thanks for all the feedback so far, and most importantly for wearing your LITP caps with lots of Luft!
Cheers,
Mitch

Life in the Peloton’s Theme Music
The theme music for Life in the Peloton was composed by Pete Shelley, who was lead singer of the punk band Buzzcocks. It was commissioned by the production company behind Channel 4’s coverage of the Tour de France in the 1980s and was used as the theme music for the nightly highlights show.
I grew up watching those highlights and the music became part of my childhood. When I set out to create Life in the Peloton I knew that theme song was what would set the scene and capture the essence of Life in the Peloton.
Pete died in December 2018. We were given permission by Pete’s widow and his manager to continue using the music for the theme tune to Life in the Peloton. To hear more about the music, listen to the Andre Greipel episode of Life in the Peloton.

The Tour de France is here, and this week’s Race Communique podcast is our Tour preview with a difference!
I’m joined, as always, by Luke Durbridge and Tom Southam, who’d literally just got their fresh TDF haircuts, to discuss our takes on the race.
Luke will be on the start grid of his 10th Tour in a row, and Tom will be hopping into his air-conditioned team car and directing what will be his 8th.
The two of them have a huge amount of experience in and around the race, and we get right in behind the scenes as a rider and a DS at the big show!
Before we got into the details of the Tour, there was plenty of action to catch up on in recent races, and I asked what their take was on the performances they had seen at the warm up events in France, Switzerland and Slovenia.
Luke also took us through what it takes to get ready for the race and how it feels to make selection for the Tour, which is something every rider wants but not everyone gets to do.
Meanwhile, Tom explains how this process works from the other side of the fence, what influences decisions and how it is to make the calls on who is at the Grand Depart and who isn’t.
As well as our Tour tips and a hint of our tactics for the Escape Collectives Fantasy Competition (which we will be hoping to smash the armchair pundits in!), we also bring you the Communi-quiz, where Tom managed to find a board game to help him out as quiz master.
We recorded right before we all hopped on flights to the Tour, so it’s as fresh as the boys Tour haircuts!
Have a bit of fun with this one, and get involved in the Escape Collective Fantasy league here.
Cheers!
