Tour De France for Idiots

And so it ends... this edition of the worlds greatest bike race has come to a close and honestly, it was fantastic (and we aren't just saying that).

Tune in to hear our final Stage 21 recap along with all of the takes you didn't know you needed on this year's 2023 Tour De France.

Yet another brutal climb to finish the last meaningful day of the tour. Of course, we all wanted Pinot to take a victory on his 10th and final tour but, the old dog had no new tricks.

Admittedly, we were all a bit late to today's stage coverage but wildly enough, we all tuned in for the cell-phone-selfie crash. C'mon people! Get those phones off the race course.

Michal Kwiatkowski, the former World Champ and recently-turned "old dog" of the tour (a crazy thing to think about at 33 years old) pulled off a STEEP stage victory today.
