Mathieu van der Poel heeft zijn kans gegrepen in de Tour de France. In een heerlijke vluchtersetappe reed hij de hele dag van voren, maakte hij bergop zelf het verschil en won hij de sprint van kop af aan. Dit was de Nederlander op zijn best. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel heeft Niek Goedvolk het met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Marijn Abbenhuijs over MVDP. Want als je dit kan in omstandigheden die je helemaal niet liggen, dan ben je toch gewoon in bloedvorm? Waarom dachten we in de eerste etappes dat dat niet zo was? En wat is er sindsdien veranderd? Verder bespreken we het rijden in de groep achter Van der Poel. Waarom hield UAE het verschil zo klein om later ineens volledig van de voorposten te verdwijnen? Hoe kan Ineos een top 10 plek zo vroeg in de Tour al belangrijk vinden? En had Lidl-Trek eerder de kaart Pedersen moeten trekken? Je hoort het in deze podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fisiologia, ciência e os bastidores do Tour mais quente da história Muito se fala de peso de bike, watts, aerodinâmica e estratégia de prova, mas um dos fatores que pode decidir o Tour de France 2026 é outro - e a maioria dos ciclistas amadores não leva a sério: o calor. Neste episódio do Gregario Cycling Podcast, o Dr. Rafa Santos, que já foi Head of Medical da INEOS e ainda faz parte do corpo médico da equipe, mostra por que o calor extremo pode custar tanto quanto qualquer variável de performance. Especialista em medicina esportiva pela USP, com passagem pelo centro de alta performance Aspetar (Catar), Rafa Santos está na INEOS desde 2019 e cuida da saúde de nomes como Egan Bernal, Filippo Ganna e Joshua Tarling. Seu próxio desafio com o time será a Vuelta a España, competição em que as temperaturas extremas são o padrão. No episódio, ele explica: - os impactos fisiológicos do calor; - como a equipe antecipa, mede e promove adaptações a esse impacto em tempo real, dentro e fora da prova; e - ensina o que o ciclista amador pode aplicar sozinho para treinar e competir com mais segurança no calor. Você estava curioso para saber por que os atletas da Netcompany INEOS estavam com os braços mergulhados em caixas de água antes da primeira etapa? A resposta também está neste episódio. Confira!

It's a collective pacing strategy dictated by physiology, not just tactics. Plus VAR is amplifying the chaos rather than ending it (Argentina's late smash-and-grab over Egypt, a sensor in the ball denying Croatia), and six African teams knocked out in the dying minutes.(00:28:00) Tour de France: our first read on the opening stages, and why the new team time trial format, where the rider's individual time counted, added genuine tactical intrigue.(00:31:00) The story that troubled us most: riders starting stages very sick in 40°C heat. After De Lie and Uijtdebroeks pushed on while ill, we discuss the incentives in elite high performance sport that put team doctors is unenviable and often compromised positions, and whether, as with concussion in rugby, sports governing bodies should step in to alleviate the conflicts faced by medics?(00:39:00) The science of pre-cooling: why INEOS sat in a row with their forearms in cold water. Ross explains the AVAs, the skin's heat-dumping shortcut, and why the water mustn't be too cold or you shut the whole thing down.(00:53:00) Record watch: Josh Kerr's unusual race-free build-up and his 3:42 fixation, Keely Hodgkinson's choppy season, and Faith Kipyegon's first 1500m/mile defeat in five years.(00:58:00) A cracking paper spotted by listener Steve O'Hale: 870,000 Berlin finishers show men are twice as likely to hit the wall as women. And, counter-intuitively, the faster the men, the more likely they are to blow up, relative to women. Ego or physiology? We dig in.(01:08:00) And finally: a 10-year-old tennis prodigy, homeschooled and training seven days a week. A feel-good story, or early specialisation and survivorship bias dressed up as one?

Stage 3 into the Pyrenees delivered exactly what a first mountain day should — a mass crash inside the opening 15km, an hour-long fight to form the breakaway, and a GC shakeup as the race hit altitude in 41-degree heat.In this episode, Alex and Max break down:The early crash that caught out Decathlon, Ineos and Lidl-Trek ridersWhy the breakaway took so long to go clear, and who made the cutVisma's tactical head-scratcher and what it means for how UAE are racing this TourBourdon's stellar day in the mountains jerseyThe GC fallout — who's struggling, who's surprising, and who's cooked from the heatA UAE team that looks equal parts relaxed and ruthlessLast night's Giant sunglasses winner revealed

Barcelona put on an absolute show — 36 degrees, brutal wind, and a street circuit that turned into a proper GC selection race. Alex was trackside for the carnage, Max is calling it from Melbourne, and this one's got everything.In this episode:Brandon McNulty's ridiculous shift on the front — basically a one-man UAE train for 25kmA break that was never getting there, and why Q36.5 still sent a man up the roadThe final climb: who cracked, who attacked, and a corner that had Max white-knuckling his chairRemco's positioning headache and how close the sprint for it actually wasGC carnage: Ineos in chaos, an unlikely name now their top rider, Tiberi a bit lost Del Toro's team car chaos — the mechanical that had him waving down his own car like a fanStage 3 preview: bushfire smoke near Girona, 4,000m of climbing towards Andorra, and why the break might actually stick this timeLast night's Pillar Performance winner and how to get into today's Giant sunnies comp

Stage 1 of the 2026 Tour de France delivered chaos from the very start in Barcelona, with a fast and technical 19.6km team time trial that opened the race right up. It was complete carnage for INEOS. A puncture for Kévin Vauquelin, Egan Bernal and Thymen Arensman both dropped, and Filippo Ganna left to finish the stage completely alone after riding away from his own teammates. Despite setting a time 30 seconds faster than Mathieu van der Poel, it still wasn't enough for the win. The shock came from Visma. After questions over their team time trial strength coming in without Wout Van Aert, Jonas Vingegaard and his team delivered a huge statement ride to take Stage 1 - with Vingegaard beating Ganna by 7 seconds to claim the first yellow jersey. Was anyone expecting that? Plus: our Muc-Off Moment of the Day, a look ahead to Stage 2 and an inside scoop on EF Education Easy Post's new aero helmet designed by POC.

Stefan, Laurens en Thomas gaan verder. Met een slobberwijntje op tafel gaan de heren van start. Het was de dag van de eerste etappe, van de ploegentijdrit. De heren keken met name uit naar de tactieken per team, en het stelde niet teleur. Het was een openingsrit waar je het over 10 jaar nog over hebt. Een van de meedogenloze wespen trein, van gedurfde tactieken en gewaagde strategieën. INEOS deed de afwas, en Jonas maakte het af voor zijn vriendengroep. En die valse starts? Daar weet Thomas natuurlijk wel raad mee… En hoe zit het nou met die reddingsbrigade van Egmond aan Zee?Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Stefan, Laurens én Thomas gaan verder. Alsof ze nooit zijn weggeweest, oud en vertrouwd. Vanuit de Dordogne, Sergeac, een Frans dorpje met zo'n 200 inwoners, een bakker en een kerk. De perfecte start van een Live Slow Villa Tour, want er schijnt er eentje wat bij te moeten slapen...De heren beschouwen voor op etappe 1, op de ploegentijdrit van de Tour van 2026. Wat vinden ze ervan, wat valt op? De nodige anekdotes worden uit de mouwtjes geschud. Wat zouden de tactieken kunnen worden, wat zijn de smaken? Pogacar, Van der Poel, Evenepoel - de Galacticos wordt aangehaald. Vraag van de dag: hoe zorg je ervoor dat je als favoriet daadwerkelijk zo snel mogelijk die 19 kilometer afwerkt? Het wordt een interessante dag…En hoe zit het nou met Remco Evenepoel en dat afvallen? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Vingegaard draws first blood. Visma smash the Barcelona TTT to snatch yellow off Pogačar on day one - but it's Ineos who'll be gutted, with Vauquelin's puncture undoing a near-perfect ride and leaving Ganna to drag them home solo. Alex and Max break down the TTT chaos: Movistar's Uijtdebroeks losing over a minute, two crashes inside the neutral zone, and why the new individual-time format just changed team tactics forever.Plus — Stage 2 preview. Three trips up the brutal Montjuïc climb (9.3% average, kicking to 13%) sets up a puncher's paradise from Tarragona to Barcelona. Could we get a Van der Poel–Pogačar rematch of last year's sprint finish? Plappy gives his read on who thrives when the road tilts up three times in the closing kays.Daily comp is live — check our Instagram for how to enter and what's up for grabs.

Pour cette 1ère étape du Tour de France 2026, les équipes avaient rendez-vous avec un contre-la-montre. Si les Ineos étaient attendus, ce sont finalement les Visma-Lease a bike qui se sont illustré à Barcelone. Grâce à un grand numéro, Jonas Vingegaard s'empare du maillot jaune dès la 1ère journée.   Déceptions en revanche pour nos Français Dorian Godon et Kevin Vauquelin qui espéraient beaucoup de cette étape, tandis que Romain Grégoire a espéré un temps pouvoir remporter le chrono.   Débrief de l'étape avec Pierre-Yves Leroux, Christophe Cessieux et nos trois consultants : Jérôme Coppel, Jérôme Pineau et Richard Virenque ! 

Tijdens de Tour de France 2026 maken wij iedere dag een podcast. In vijftien minuten praten we je bij over wat je écht moet weten voor de volgende rit.Daags voor de openingsploegentijdrit trappen we af met de eerste aflevering, waarin Maxim Horssels en Youri IJnsen vooruitblikken op de ploegentijdrit.In de schaduw van de imposante Sagrada Familia werden de ploegen en renners donderdagavond aan het publiek gepresenteerd.

El Tour de Francia 2026 ya tiene banda sonora: Energía!, del grupo catalán Doctor Prats, será la canción oficial que pondrá a bailar a los fanáticos del deporte de las bielas a partir del 4 de julio de 2026. RFI viajó a Cataluña para saber cómo se prepara este “Grand Départ”, un hito para Barcelona. El próximo 4 de julio, el espectáculo deportivo más grande del mundo arrancará en Barcelona con una contrarreloj por equipos de 19 kilómetros, partiendo desde el Port Olímpic. Para Christian Prudhomme, director del Tour de Francia, la elección de la capital catalana no fue casualidad. El prestigio de Barcelona como sede de hitos como los Juegos Olímpicos, el Mundial de Fútbol y la Copa América pesó en la balanza. “Lo que nos cautivó fue, evidentemente, el prestigio de la ciudad. Es la belleza del lugar, el mar justo al lado, las colinas y, por supuesto, las pendientes”, explica Prudhomme. El director destaca que la geografía barcelonesa permitirá un inicio "deportivamente contundente" con la subida a Montjuïc: "Una pendiente del 9% en más de un kilómetro y medio significa que los mejores corredores del mundo se medirán desde el primer fin de semana". La Sagrada Familia para la presentación de los equipos Dos días antes de que ruede el pelotón, los 23 equipos serán presentados frente a una joya de la arquitectura mundial: la Sagrada Familia. Daniela Longobardi, guía oficial del templo, describe la obra de Gaudí como "un resumen de toda su arquitectura", coronada ahora por la gran cruz tridimensional de la Torre de Jesucristo, que a 172,5 metros de altura ha transformado el horizonte de la ciudad. La salida del Tour coincidirá con el centenario de la muerte de Antoni Gaudí. El arquitecto, que falleció en 1926 tras ser atropellado por un tranvía, veía su obra como algo que trascendería su propia vida. Según relata Longobardi: “Gaudí decía que no le importaba dejar el proyecto en manos de otros; tenía la idea de este edificio como un proyecto colectivo”. Esa misma esencia colectiva define al Tour, donde 183 ciclistas y sus gregarios trabajan unidos para que un líder pueda, finalmente, "pintarse de amarillo".   Tarragona: historia romana y empuje económico La música no dejará de sonar en la segunda etapa, que partirá de Tarragona. El guía Xabier Mejuto Nogués invita a los visitantes a recorrer la "Part Alta", el centro histórico amurallado que se asienta sobre una antigua acrópolis romana. “Nos encontramos en el interior de lo que fue un circo, un hipódromo romano. Tarraco fue la capital de la Hispania Citerior”, recuerda Mejuto. El comercio local también espera con ansias el evento. Cristina López, directora del restaurante "Cuatro Latas", asegura que ya se están preparando para la llegada masiva de visitantes: “Estamos muy entusiasmados. Es una zona muy turística con público francés, inglés y holandés. ¡Benvinguts a la Tour de França de 2026!”. Deportivamente, la segunda etapa será un reto de 182 kilómetros desde la Costa Daurada hasta Barcelona. Thierry Gouvenou, director deportivo del Tour, señala que han buscado un equilibrio estético y deportivo: “Tendremos una salida plana a la orilla del mar y luego, varias colinas antes de llegar al exigente circuito de Montjuïc”.    Los ciclistas subirán tres veces la colina de Montjuïc, un escenario icónico que suele acoger el final de la Volta a Catalunya. Esta carrera histórica ha visto brillar a grandes figuras, incluyendo a cinco colombianos: Sergio Higuita (2022), Miguel Angel “Superaman” López (2019), Nairo Quintana (2016), Hernán Buenahora (1998) y Alvaro Mejía (1993).   Este año se impuso el danés Jonas Vingengard. Sin embargo, el francés Dorian Godon del Ineos también se destacó. Es el actual campeón de Francia de ciclismo y conoce muy bien las carreteras catalanas, ya que estudió fisioterapia en Gerona. Volverá aquí en julio para disputar su tercer Tour. Destaca la intensidad única de la Grande Boucle: “El Tour es otro mundo; hay mucha gente, mucha tensión, algo que no se puede describir”.   Un legado que va más allá del deporte Para los ciclistas locales como Marc Soler (UAE Team Emirates), correr en casa es inesperado: “es la primera vez que lo puedo vivir en directo. Seguro que se disfrutará mucho, aparte de sufrirlo, porque se va muy rápido”. Incluso leyendas como Miguel Induráin, pentacampeón del Tour, celebran que la carrera regrese a carreteras españolas: “Yo tuve la suerte de salir del Tour de Francia en San Sebastian cuando corría en 1992”. Después, el Tour salió de Bilbao en 2023 y ahora, de Barcelona, lo que “es muy bonito para la afición”, dice Induraín. Barcelona es una ciudad que recibe, por lo menos, a 15 millones de turistas anuales. En 2025, fue la séptima ciudad europea más visitada. La salida del Tour de Francia la pone de nuevo en el centro de la atención mundial. Pero el Tour de 2026 no solo dejará imágenes espectaculares. Según David Escudé, concejal de Deportes de Barcelona, el legado será también material y social: “Es una oportunidad para que la bici no sea solo deporte, sino una herramienta de transporte. Hay una planificación de carriles bici para mejorar los que ya tenemos”. La tercera etapa partirá de Granollers, pasará por la ciudad de Vic y tomará rumbo hacia los Pirineos, despidiéndose de España con el ritmo de Doctor Prats aún resonando en las calles.   Este texto corresponde a una parte de la transcripción del reportaje sonoro.

Steve McClaren has lived the full arc of elite football, from the immense pressure of managing England to lifting trophies in Europe and standing alongside Sir Alex Ferguson during Manchester United's historic Treble campaign.In this episode, Steve takes us inside the uniquely brutal world of the England job and World Cup expectation, describing the psychological weight of carrying 70 million people on your shoulders and breaking down the volatile mix of camp chemistry, player fitness, and sheer luck required to win the 2026 World Cup.The conversation shifts to the blueprint of a modern rebuild, analysing the early signs of structural alignment at Manchester United under INEOS. Drawing from a lifetime of experience, Steve explains why tactics and staff are fundamentally useless unless the entire hierarchy of a football club is pulling in the exact same direction.He also shares what he learned inside Ferguson's machine, from total trust in his staff to a relentless hunger that reset the standard the morning after the Treble. This is a conversation about pressure, standards and what it really takes to build sustained success at the very top of the game.Steve McClaren has joined Rotherham FC as Head of Football https://www.themillers.co.uk/Postcode Lottery

Een hattrick voor Jhonatan Narváez in de Giro d'Italia. Als de Ecuadoraan in de kopgroep zit, is er voor de andere vluchters geen beginnen aan deze weken. Ook nu maakte de renner van UAE Team Emirates het af, door in een sprint-a-deux Enric Mas te verslaan. Was het wel zo handig van Mas om met Narváez naar de streep te rijden? Dat vraagt Niek Goedvolk in een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel aan Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Daniël Dwarswaard. En hoe is de veelwinnaar van deze Giro überhaupt te kloppen vanuit zo'n vlucht? Hartstikke leuk trouwens, een kopgroep die het tot het einde haalt, maar waar waren de Nederlanders? Volgens onze wielerverslaggever was dat een groot gemis in de finale van deze spectaculaire etappe. Dus hebben we het maar over Thymen Arensman, die na weken van radiostilte eindelijk met de pers praat. Waarom kon dat niet eerder? En welke rol speelt zijn ploeg hierin? Daniël is er een beetje klaar mee dat quotes gewoon over de schutting worden gegooid. Luisteren maar!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stage 10 of the Giro d'Italia 2026 and the race against the clock delivered. A 42-kilometre individual time trial from Viareggio to Massa - and it was perfectly designed for Filippo Ganna. He did not disappoint. A ride of absolute precision and power from the Italian, on a course that suited every strength he has. But Ganna wasn't the only Ineos rider to shine. Thymen Arensman put in a ride that proved once again Netcompany-INEOS are up there with the very best when it comes to time trialling. In the GC fight, Jonas Vingegaard gained time on Gall - but lost time to Arensman and Eulalio puts in another courageous effort to defend So where does that leave the race for pink? Ned Boulting and Jacopo Guarnieri break down a stage that was about more than just the winner. This episode of For The Love Of Cycling is sponsored by Bikmo cycle insurance.

As everyone awaits confirmation of Michael Carrick being named as Manchester United manager, Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to discuss the reasons INEOS have finally backed him, whether the fanbase is truly united behind the decision and why Rio believes the club now has no choice but to fully commit to the ‘Carrick project'.The trio debate criticism around Carrick's appointment, the idea he's somehow landed the role “by default” and what his football identity actually is. Rio also insists Carrick “won't give a s**t” about criticism from pundits like Roy Keane and Gary Neville, while Ste argues United barely have any genuinely pro-United voices left in mainstream punditry.There's also huge praise for Casemiro following “Rio Meets Casemiro” and the standing ovation he received at Old Trafford, which leads Rio into a reflection on the Brazilian's overall cost to Manchester United and whether his impact has justified the huge transfer fee and wages.Bruno Fernandes becomes another major talking point as the lads debate where he ranks amongst the Premier League's modern greats. Rio argues Bruno deserves more respect because of the level of Manchester United teams he's been carrying, while Ste explains why the club's barren spell actually makes him even more valuable to supporters.The conversation also turns to Xabi Alonso's shock move to Chelsea, with Ste calling him the most exciting coach in world football and Rio questioning why he didn't wait for an opportunity to take over Arne Slot at Liverpool.Plus there's insight into what Casemiro really thinks about Bruno behind the scenes and why Rio believes Fernandes would have taken Manchester United's 2008 Champions League-winning side to another level.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down a furious day of racing that saw Movistar blow up the race on a mid-stage climb, only for UAE's Jhonatan Narváez to swoop and win the stage. They discuss how the Giro d'Italia stage win is a massive moment for Narváez, who just returned from a long recovery following a bad early-season crash, if Ineos made the right decision in sending stage contender Ben Turner back to pace a dropped Egan Bernal, and how Visma and Jonas Vingegaard looked unshakeable near the front all day. They then preview Wednesday's Stage 5, which serves up a tough mountain stage that could see GC action. Listen in to see what the duo thinks of the stage, how the action will play out tomorrow, who will come out on top, and which riders present the best betting value.

Rio is joined by Ste Howson and Joel Beya to break down Manchester United's frustrating performance against Sunderland and why the reaction from some fans has gone completely over the top.While Ste labels the display “terrible”, Rio pushes back on the idea that one bad performance should suddenly end the discussion around Michael Carrick's future - arguing that supporters are being disrespectful both to Sunderland and to the wider rebuilding process at Old Trafford.The trio also debate what United's squad should look like moving forward, including which players Ste believes should leave the club, the recruitment strategy INEOS are finally getting right and why goalkeeper Lammens could end up winning the Players' Player of the Year award.Rio also gives insight into the mentality needed inside elite dressing rooms after Aurélien Tchouaméni was fined for repeatedly striking team-mate Ernesto Valverde at Real Madrid - explaining why arguments between players are often a positive sign and revealing how former Rangers manager Walter Smith actively encouraged fights during training sessions during his time at Manchester United.There's also a heated discussion around Bruno Fernandes winning the Football Writers' Award over Declan Rice and Erling Haaland, with Rio insisting that football awards should be based on performances rather than sportsmanship or narratives.Plus Rio explains why Marcus Rashford could still be one of the bargains of the summer transfer window, why David Raya may have just won Arsenal the Premier League title and why he believes Arsenal could now be favourites for the Champions League.And as always, there's chaos around VAR decisions, bizarre rule change suggestions and a typically fiery debate between Rio and Ste over what Manchester United fans should actually expect from this current team.

As of the start of the 2026 Giro d'Italia this weekend, the INEOS Grenadiers cycling team will be known as Netcompany-INEOS.Last week, the team - one of the most successful in elite road cycling - announced a new sponsorship deal with Danish tech and AI firm Netcompany.INEOS, team owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's giant chemicals company, had yielded the main naming position for a deal reported as worth €100m over five years.At the centre of deal - one of the biggest in the pro peloton - is Tom Hill. He joined the team as CCO in 2024 having previously held commercial leadership positions at World Rugby and Manchester United amongst others.Hill joins us on the podcast this week to detail the work that went into signing Netcompany; to articulate the valuable USPs - and unique challenges - that cycling has as a sponsorship proposition; and to evaluate the cycling ecosystem as a whole and ask ‘is there a better way?'

Giro starts Friday.Plappy's back after a top five at the Tour de Romandie, and we're getting into all of it. The watts, the motorbike chaos, Lipo refusing to ride with Pog, and exactly where Plappy lost time in the prologue - spoiler, it's the corners.Then we preview the Giro. Vingegaard goes in as the overwhelming favourite for a race he's never done. The GC field's already missing Almeida and Carapaz. The sprint battle is stacked. And the Pillar Performance Top 5 Giro moments of the last decade. Tommy D taking a roadside squat in the pink jersey. Froome attacking from 80k out. Yates winning it back on the exact climb that broke him. It's all in there.Patrick Eddy winning in the Australian jersey in Europe, Ineos's new money, and the teams that win table updated.

Spencer Martin and Johan Bruyneel go through the first few stages of the Tour of Romandie, which has seen Tadej Pogačar and Dorian Godon each win a pair of stages, as well as a few other races and news topics, like Ineos' announcement of their partnership with Danish tech firm Netcompany. They break down Pogačar's performances so far, discuss if he is under- or overperforming relative to expectations, as well as the solid ride from Florian Lipowitz behind, and speculate about what is going on with his Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe teammate Primož Roglič.

The spring Classics campaign has come to an end and the Giro d'Italia is just around the corner. To bridge the gap between the two, and with Daniel Friebe absent as he prepares for the Giro, Lionel Birnie is joined by Tudor Pro Cycling's Larry Warbasse to wrap up the first part of the season, look ahead to the first Grand Tour of the year and react to some huge sponsorship news which may help Ineos Grenadiers challenge for the Tour de France once again.In part one Larry updates on the Tour of the Alps, where he and a lot of riders were fine-tuning their form ahead of the Giro and one of his teammates made a rapid and successful transition from speed skating to elite level cycling with a stage win. He also talks about his version of the all-day-breakfast and heat training indoors.In the second part, Lionel reports back from the big reveal which confirmed a new title sponsor for Ineos Grenadiers. From the Giro d'Italia they will be Netcompany-Ineos thanks to backing from a Danish IT company that is pumping in a figure thought to be around €100m over five years. The target is for the team to win an eighth Tour de France in the next five years, but its the introduction of Netcompany's AI software, Pulse, which makes this more than just a sponsorship deal. Pulse, which is used at several major airports, including Heathrow, will be used to help the team make 'better decisions more often'. We ask whether its use can extend beyond logistics and training and start to influence racing strategy and tactics.In the final part, we tie up all the loose ends from the spring and turn our attentions towards the Giro before handing over to Daniel and co for daily coverage of the Corsa Rosa, which starts in Bulgaria on Friday, May 8.Image courtesy of Netcompany-Ineos.Follow us on social media:Twitter @cycling_podcastInstagram @thecyclingpodcastFriends of the PodcastSign up as a Friend of the Podcast at thecyclingpodcast.com to listen to new special episodes every month plus a back catalogue of more than 300 exclusive episodes.The 11.01 CappuccinoOur regular email newsletter is now on Substack.

#989 | Ed and Jamie discuss a Premier League settlement with Chelsea over £47 million worth of undisclosed, off-book payments to players, agents and third parties from 20011–2018, involving names including Samuel Eto'o, Eden Hazard and David Luiz. The £10m fine and suspended transfer/youth-player bans show inconsistent rule enforcement versus PSR points deductions for clubs like Everton and could weaken the Premier League's position in Manchester City's case, while signalling cooperation and ownership change can reduce sporting sanctions. It's incredibly lenient. There's an examination of how a Gulf-wide conflict has driven crude oil from about $65 to ~$105, pressuring INEOS' thin-margin, highly leveraged petrochemicals business, potentially delaying or complicating refinancing at INEOS and United amid reduced prospects of Fed interest rate cuts. The conversation finishes on the potential impact around United's new stadium in a high-rate, high-cost environment. 00:00 Introduction 03:09 Chelsea's Off-Book Payments 07:09 Premier League's Lenient Penalty 17:45 Implications for Man City's Case 20:23 The Abramovich Fund 22:15 War in the Gulf and Oil Price Shock 28:33 Impact on United's Refinancing and Ownership 32:43 New Stadium Challenges If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Tadej Pogačar made his return to racing at Strade Bianche at the weekend, and it was a familiar story for him, his rivals and those watching. What for one set of fans was yet another sublime and glorious exhibition, for others represented just the continuation of a monotonous, all-too-familiar theme.Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Brian Nygaard debate what Pog's first solo recital of 2026 stirred in them, and we also consider to what extent Paul Seixas's remarkable performance could herald the beginning of an era-defining rivalry.  There's a round-up of what's been happening in France at Paris-Nice and in Italy at Tirreno-Adriatico, plus some rare speculation about INEOS's future. EPISODE SPONSORSIndeedIf you are looking to hire someone for your company, maybe the best way isn't to search for a candidate but to match with Indeed.

#980 | Ed and Jamie review Manchester United's fiscal 2026 second-quarter results, arguing the numbers look bullish despite no European competition: revenues held up, EBITDA is strong, and the club posted an operating profit of just over £30m. They credit Ineos' restructuring - about £50m a year removed from the cost base, including redundancies and efforts to rationalise player wages - with improving the club's financial foundations, while noting debt remains high, cash is low (~£44m), and historic transfer payables are absorbing cashflow. They discuss how Champions League qualification could add ~£80–100m revenue and how Premier League squad-cost rules may help. They flag major debt maturities in 2027 and 2029 and expect refinancing to increase interest costs, plus brief updates on stadium plans, shareholding movement, and optimism driven by improved results and recruitment. 00:00 Introduction 04:12 Cost Restructuring & Wage Bill 13:48 Revenue Breakdown 17:53 Champions League Impact & Future Outlook 20:17 Debt Refinancing Discussion 26:36 Stadium Development & Wrap-up If you are interested in supporting the show and accessing a weekly exclusive bonus episode, check out our Patreon page or subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

Spencer Martin and Johan Bruyneel break down the opening stages of the 2026 cycling season at the Tour Down Under, which has seen Jay Vine and his UAE team picking up where they left off in 2025, a pair of impressive stage wins from Ineos, and opened up a debate about whether Vine should continue in his support role at UAE or chase leadership opportunities elsewhere. They also dive into where US-based viewers can watch the 2026 cycling season, ways to get around the high prices of the multiple streaming services required, and take a few listener questions.  Become a WEDŪ Member Today to Unlock VIP Access & Benefits: https://access.wedu.team How & Where to Watch Pro Cycling in the US Market in 2026: https://beyondthepeloton.substack.com/p/how-and-where-to-watch-pro-cycling-882 Hims: For simple, online access to personalized and affordable care for Hair Loss, ED, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/THEMOVE.
