Adam Cianciarulo is back, and this time the conversation is less about racing and more about what comes after it. After retiring in May 2024, AC stepped straight into the broadcasting career he'd dreamed of since he was a kid. Two years later, he's still figuring out who he is without a race result to define him.Adam won 11 amateur national championships before ever lining up as a professional and spent much of his career carrying the expectations that came with it. In Chapter 423, he sits down with Jase Macalpine to discuss growing up without the time to develop an identity outside of racing, the breakdown that forced him to confront it, and his decision to turn down work so he could spend an entire summer with nothing on his schedule.AC OPENS UP ON:◼ Never having had time to develop an identity outside racing◼ The 2021 breakdown with his arm, and why he is grateful it got that bad◼ Turning down the 2025 outdoors so he would have nothing on all summer◼ Winning a Supercross in 2014 with zero confidence, and feeling like an imposter◼ Training so hard as a kid that he stunted his own growth◼ Moving in with Ryan Villopoto, and why RV is the most underrated champion of the era◼ Giving Ken Roczen a 50/50 shot at lining up in 2027◼ What he actually meant about Chase Sexton, and the standard Chase holds himself to◼ Jorge Prado and Jeffrey Herlings at the MXoN, and racing ready to die on a Monday◼ Blake Baggett's life after racing, and the phone call from a construction siteSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
