The life and story of cycling photographer, Graham Watson (replay)

About this episode

The episode features an in-depth conversation with cycling photographer Graham Watson about his remarkable career and contributions to cycling history.

In this episode we speak to Graham Watson, perhaps the world's most prolific cycling photographer. Over five decades, Graham didn't just witness cycling history - he documented it. Some might say the pioneers had it easy, but as you'll hear, Graham's path was anything but. He made his own luck, opening doors through persistence and talent. And whoever said "nice guys finish last" never met Graham. Today's episode runs longer than usual because there's no way to do justice to Graham's remarkable 40-year career in an hour. Buckle up for a ride with the man who captured cycling's most historic moments.
