  • The new go-to for the TdF

    I loved this, guys. I’ve always gone to The Move as my daily update whilst out training on the bike (yes, one ear only honest) but tried this in July and ended up going to it first every morning for 21 days. David & Ned are a great combo (and DM you really should have stayed for the last couple of stages but will let you off this once). No notes really - all of it is good (love the interviews etc) but the biggest praise I can add is that it also made me just carry on and listen to The Femmes wh... more

  • Loved It

    I was absorbed by Pogecar origin story as someone interested in rather than knowledgable in him / cycling. Superbly well told. Only gripe was dancing around Lance Armstrong cheating.

  • Incredible Insight & Commentary

    It is such a delight to have this podcast/YouTube available. The calibre of commentary, insight, analysis, and just general thoughtfulness that both Ned and David bring to each stage is such a treat. It makes me laugh that in a 45 to 90 second clip (never mind the whole show) the two of them can distil the need-to-know info or feeling of that days stage or race better then five hours of live commentary. I would love to hear these two on a full length commentary position (Ned and Jacopo do an inc... more

Q: What was different about your Salamanca victory in 2001 compared to today's stage and the way you approached it?
Back then I was pushing to prove myself under real pressure, whereas today's riders have different expectations and the tactical landscape has evolved, but the core focus on execution and confidence remains the key.
Pogačar Wins Stage 1 by NINE HUNDREDTHS of a second | Vuelta a España Stage 1 Breakdown
Q: In 2001, which was a very similar stage to that individual time trial, 12 kilometers, did you expect to win it or was it one of those?
I was the favorite to win it and felt the pressure; the nerves and expectations were high, but winning would set the tone for the race and my confidence.
Have UAE Finally Shown Weakness? | Tour de France Stage 18 Breakdown
