  • Excellent cycling chat

    Best cycling podcast on the market. Lovely vibes. Only issue is: Caley frets about switching topics when he’s had enough cos there isn’t time 😂 I mean… it’s your podcast, I’m sure it’s ok to chat some more 😂Once you notice it it’s pretty comical. Anyway great pod!

  • Definitely worth joining

    The free feed is great but After Dark (as signaled by the owl — not a loon) is 10-15 min of quirky joy. A great podcast with a bit of everything.

  • Quality is decreasing

    The regular host Caley keeps missing episodes and the replacement isn’t nearly the same quality. Hopefully they correct this or I’ll unsubscribe to this similar to their tech focused geek warning podcast after the regular host James left.

Phwah, it's hot as Foix | Stage 4 Tour de France 2026
Q: Why did Traen end up in yellow and how long might he hold it?
Traen's late-stage surge and bold attack, coupled with Vizma and UAE's split-second decisions, propelled him into yellow; the long-term sustainability depends on how well he can survive the upcoming climbs, but the hosts expect him to hold it through the second rest day if form holds.
Phwah, it's hot as Foix | Stage 4 Tour de France 2026
Q: What was the key to Trek's success in this stage?
Trek's strength lay in putting three riders into the break to cover every possible move and then sitting back without burning energy until the optimum moment, allowing Pedersen to sprint clear with Simmons guarding the finish.

Q: What makes the team time trial format so pivotal for the early stage of the Tour?
The TT format matters because it can instantly redraw the standings; a single rider finishing ahead can redefine team leadership dynamics and open strategic space for yellow jersey ambitions.
Paul Seixas is going to the Tour de France
Q: Question for you. If you are his director, going into this tour, what are you setting as his objectives?
Get to the rest days to assess endurance, then decide whether to push for a Bastille Day stage or pursue a best possible GC, with a realistic option of a white jersey given the competition.
