    I first learnt about the TCR from the Netflix documentary and my jaw dropped. I found last year’s podcast and wasn’t sure what to expect but thought I’d give it a go. It’s sooo good.

    There’s now only one thing left to do. Enter the race next year.

    I’ve reviewed this podcast before but wanted to add something about the recent Women Who Race series. They have been really insightful.

    My previous is below and still relevant.

    A wonderful insight into an awesome event. The podcast pieces together the stories from the route, the thoughts of the organisers and an insight into the riders. The production standard is very high. This is an enthralling and inspiring listen. Thank you to everyone involved.
