Kilometre 0 – Padun of a Kind
Season 9, Episode 144, Aug 20, 2021, 09:36 AM
Mark Padun’s back-to-back stage wins at the Critérium du Dauphiné in June shocked the cycling world. Long touted as a future star, the Ukrainian had seemed to stagnate in his second and third seasons as a pro - only to bounce back spectacularly in the Alps over that remarkable weekend in the late spring.
Having missed out on selection for the Tour - to the surprise of many - Padun is now aiming to shepherd his Bahrain Victorious leader Mikel Landa to victory at the Vuelta, while also scoring a stage win himself.
Meanwhile, Padun’s origins and career trajectory remain a mystery to many - one that Daniel tries to unpick in this episode of Kilometre 0.
