How To Train To Be Faster | S-Works Venge | Oompa Loompa Cycling 197

In this episode of Oompa Loompa Cycling, I sit down with the legendary Poon from Quantum Racing, a veteran and powerhouse in the Singapore cycling scene and beyond. Known for his incredible prowess on two wheels, Poon has earned a reputation as one of the most formidable cyclists in the region.

Our journey began at the OCBC Cycle Race in 2023, where I had the privilege of meeting and interviewing him for the first time. After that memorable encounter, we kept in touch, and today, I’m thrilled to have him join the podcast.

Tune in as Poon shares his insights on:
• His rigorous training regime and how he stays at the top of his game.
• The bikes and gear that power his performance.
• The mindset and dedication it takes to become a truly strong cyclist.

Whether you’re a seasoned rider or just starting out, Poon’s experiences and advice will inspire and motivate you to push your limits. Don’t miss this exciting conversation with one of the best in the sport!
