In this episode, Louise and Michelle interview Chris Smart, who has recently returned from racing in Leipa at the ICF with his Eurohound Chili. He gives us a unique insight into international racing, and tells us how it motivates him to improve more than racing in the UK. Chris is also new to bikejor.
