Cam heads up partner activations and hospitality for Pinarello-Q36.5 Pro Cycling — Tom Pidcock's ProTeam. In this

episode, he breaks down what that role actually looks like inside a professional race team, what big sponsors really

want from their investment in cycling, and why the gap between what South Africa understands about sponsorship and

what happens at the world level is enormous. He also takes us inside the Pinarello factory in Treviso, shares what it

was like to meet Fausto Pinarello, and gives his unfiltered Tour de France predictions — Pogačar, Vingegaard, Seixas,

Pidcock, and who he thinks wins it all.
