"bonk or baller" -- or whatever it's called, even if it's largely a gag, kinda smacks of the sort of elitism that cycling doesn't really need any extra help with.
Description
Dylan ”DJ” Johnson, Scott(ie 2 Hottie) McGill, Tyler ”Domestique” Cloutier, Drew ”Dizzle” Dillman, and Adam Saban, collectively known as The Bonk Bros, bring you a weekly fresh take on all the latest happenings in the world of bike racing. We banter, unscripted, on our own race recaps and piping hot breaking news in the bike race scene during this fun, low-key conversational show that is sure to bring the heat.
