The 2026 Vuelta a España rolls out from Monte Carlo at the weekend, and we'll be on the ground for the eleventh straight year to bring you all of the action, starting with our race preview. Before Daniel Friebe and Larry Warbasse assess the route and riders, we reflect on the devastating passing of Finlay Tarling in last week's Volta a Portugal. Harrison Wood was also racing in the Volta. He gives us the rider's perspective of what occurred. For our look ahead to the Vuelta, Larry honestly answers the question of whether he or any of the other riders in the field can realistically hope to beat Tadej Pogačar (clue: it's a fairly resounding ‘no'). Having established that, we look closely at a decidedly spicy route and what opportunities it may offer riders not targeting the GC.In Loving Memory of Finlay TarlingFollowing the tragic death of Finlay Tarling in stage 8 of the Volta a Portugal, a fund has been set up, with the blessing of his parents and in Finlay's name, with the goal of providing an opportunity to help future generations of young Welsh riders.

For the final episode of our Tour de France (Hommes) podcasts, we caught up with our friends at the Cycling Podcast, Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss, to talk about the race's highs and lows, how we all got on over three weeks, and what on earth is going on in media these days. The Cycling Podcast was the first podcast to be accredited at the Tour de France, and at Escape we are fully aware that we follow in their footsteps. We're also firmly of the belief that anybody making good media is a friend of Escape. So it was an honor to get together with Lionel and Graham for this special collab episode.

To sign up, and support the show, go to thecyclingpodcast.comIn the final part of our trilogy remembering the 1986 Tour de France, Lionel Birnie speaks to the Canadian rider Alex Stieda.In 1986, the 7-Eleven team became the first American squad to ride the Tour and Stieda was the lone Canadian, alongside eight from the USA and a Mexican to line up for the prologue in the west of Paris.As he was wearing No.210 – the last man on the huge start list – he was first to roll down the start ramp for the opening time trial. He set a great time too, and ended the stage in 21st place.But it was the following day that he was to make Canadian cycling history. It was a split stage, with a short road race in the morning and the team time trial in the afternoon.And for Stieda he experienced the extremes of the Tour de France in a single day – floating on top of the world in the morning, and racing for survival in the afternoon...This episode was produced by Huw Owen.

This episode is the first in a three-part series examining the lasting importance of the 1986 Tour de France, 40 years on.It's available here for a limited time, as well as ad-free for our Friends of the Podcast subscribers. Sign up at thecyclingpodcast.comIn 1986, Channel 4 – a relatively new station – broadcast nightly highlights of the Tour de France for the first time in Britain.From the opening refrain of Pete Shelley's brilliant theme tune, the studio set with its view of a Soho street in central London, the Tour coverage left a huge impression on anyone who saw it. The half-hour show took viewers on the perfect summer road trip around France. The commentary sounded like it was coming to us from the future. It ushered us in, night after night, explaining this strange sport's history, customs and etiquette gradually before leaving us bereft on the Champs-Élysées until the next summer.In this episode, Graham Willgoss speaks to Phil Liggett, the commentator when the Tour first hit British screens. And Lionel Birnie talks to James Venner, the son of Brian Venner, who was responsible for putting cycling on TV in the UK. James later spent more than two decades working as a producer on the ITV coverage of the Tour.We hear how the Tour captured our hearts in '86, created the first great cycling boom in Britain, led eventually to live coverage of not just the Tour but many other races and also inspired a generation of journalists and writers, including, in many ways our KM0 episodes.This episode was produced by Adam Bowie. Artwork by Lionel Birnie, featuring the old Channel 4 title imagery.

Sign up at thecyclingpodcast.comJoin Lionel Birnie, Graham Willgoss and special guest Edward Pickering as they discuss the 1986 Tour de France, which signalled the end of the road for Bernard Hinault and, in a way, the French dominance of their national sporting event. The Tour de France was embracing the world rapidly – and the world was falling in love with the Tour.We discuss the inter-team battle between America's blue-eyed boy, Greg LeMond, and his legendary teammate-slash-rival Hinault.For Lionel and Ed, it was also a first opportunity to follow the Tour daily on television and so it left indelible memories that shaped how they have experienced the Tour ever since.So why was the 1986 Tour one of the most important, watershed events in modern cycling history?This episode was produced by Jon Moonie.

Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss as they complete a trilogy of episodes looking ahead to the 2026 Tour de France.With the big battle between Pogačar and Vingegaard covered in part one, and the route dissected in part two, this time it's a chance to take a deeper look at some of the other storylines and riders who are set to animate the Tour de France.From the much-anticipated debut of French sensation Paul Seixas, to the joint-leaders of the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe team, Remco Evenepoel and Florian Lipowitz, who else will challenge for the podium and the other top places on GC?We weigh up a deep field of fast finishers and ask who will be left standing when the sprinting game of musical chairs comes to a halt.
