Just like that another Tour de France has come and gone. On the final episode of Aérogramme with La Course en Tête from the Grande Boucle, we take a look back at the good and the bad, the compelling and the not so from the 2021 edition. OJ Borg hosts as Peter Cossins and La Course en Tête contributor Nick Bull join in. From an opening week of tear-jerking stories and fan-favorite winners, coupled with a slew of horrific crashes, to a GC battle that some say got wrapped up before the first rest day, there's a lot to discuss. One of the biggest storylines of course is the return of Mark Cavendish. He was already one of the best sprinters ever before this year, but now with a performance that some are comparing to Tiger Woods at the 2019 Masters it's hard for anyone to say he's not the greatest sprinter of all time. And his Deceuninck–Quick-Step team deserves ample praise for their savvy, guiding him to an impressive four stages. Now the big question is whether Cavendish will return to the Tour next year. Then there's the man who denied Cavendish a record breaking 35th stage win on the Champs Élysées—after winning on Mont Ventoux and the time trial just the day before. Could Wout van Aert have a go at contending for the GC? In a Jumbo-Visma team that has two GC contenders already in Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard, plus another promising GC talent in Sepp Kuss, is there room for him to pursue that?And speaking of GC contenders, now that Tadej Pogačar has won his second Tour, how far can he go in his career? And we look ahead to the Vuelta a España to the anticipated matchup of Pogačar, Roglič and Egan Bernal. Then there were the parts of the Tour we would rather leave behind. There was the police raid on the Bahrain-Victorious team, followed by Matej Mohorič's stage win with a zipped lips victory salute. And then there's the crashes from the first week which no doubt impacted the entire outcome of the race. Meanwhile, Sophie Smith and Jeremy Whittle check in with a road diary of their time on the ground at the Tour as they make the final transfer to Paris for stage 21. Aérogramme is presented by Hyperice.
On Episode 8 of the La Course en Tête crew of OJ Borg, Jeremy Whittle, Peter Cossins, William Fotheringham and Nick Bull break down a crazy week of racing.

Running to Stand Still is an audio drama about M.E. This is an original 60-minute audio play (with songs), featuring professional actors, with cameos from presenters on BBC Radio 4, BBC Radio Gloucestershire and Sky Arts 1, that deals with the illness M.E. as its focal point. It is written by a sufferer and it specifically addresses what happens to relationships around an individual who is stricken by the illness and should educate those that don't know much about this life-threatening condition. For those that have experienced the illness (first or second hand), it's a story you can empathise with. For those who haven't, it's a story you can sympathise with. If you would like to make a donation after listening, the charity is www.investinme.org. Presented by The OFFSTAGE Theatre Group, in association with Wireless Theatre (supported by BBC Radio Gloucestershire), and in aid of Invest In ME. Running To Stand Still first toured around schools and colleges in 1997, exactly 15 years ago, as well as being performed at an International Conference about the illness it was trying to raise awareness of (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis). It also had the distinction of being the first play to be broadcast on BBC Radio Gloucestershire in 1996. This is a charitable endeavour, which sees all profits going to Invest In ME (www.investinme.org); who are fundraising to set up a research centre into the much-misunderstood and life-threatening disease. Actor/Director/Writer and M.E. sufferer, Barnaby Eaton-Jones said: “The script was first written in 1992, which makes this the 20th anniversary of that event. But, a lot has changed since then. It was often sad, very frustrating and constantly bewildering to read so much new research since the play was last performed and find that there isstill prejudice, wrong information and lack of knowledge out there in the general public. Hopefully, this play will play a small part in helping to redress the balance.” Running to Stand Still Starring: Jilly Breeze, Barnaby Eaton-Jones, Dawn Stanley, Rob Leetham, Rowena Perkins The real-life radio personalities and presenters featured were, in alphabetical order…Richard Atkins, Claire Carter, Dominic Cotter, Rachel Darcy, Faye Hatcher, Steve Kitchen and Annie McKie With grateful thanks to Nick Bull and BBC Radio Gloucestershire Script and Songs (Music/Lyrics) by Barnaby Eaton-Jones, Sound, Production and Editing by Steve Bradbury Mastered by David Pickering Pick at FFG, The musical accompaniment was written and arranged by Paul Arthurs (Bass, Percussion, Additional Guitar), Steve Bradbury (Piano, Hammond Organ, Strings), With Barnaby Eaton-Jones (Guitar) Artwork supplied by Carolyn Edwards and Helen Morris Graphic Design by Scott Bishop at Jump Creative ‘Running To Stand Still' was produced by Steve Bradbury and directed by Barnaby Eaton-Jones The OFFSTAGE Theatre Group: offstagetheatregroup.com, Barnaby Eaton-Jones: barnabyeatonjones.com FFG: ffg.org.uk, BBC Radio Gloucestershire:

If you enjoy this podcast, consider buying me a coffee: https://adamstoner.com/support Through a tiny little Cotswold village and down a single-file country lane exists one of Gloucestershire's best cider producers. Based in the tiny civil parish of Awre, Severn Cider and Perry is a family-run business shared across three generations. Since 1956, they've been making cider at their family home-turned-cider mill. Boasting over eight different varieties of drink, this small outfit are the winners of countless regional and national awards, have sold-out of their handcrafted beverages for the past two years, and are even looking to send their produce abroad. Made on-site from the juice of local heritage apples and pears, the company sits on an idyllic countryside retreat you simply must take some time out to visit. Tucked away among cottages and forged well from the beaten track, you'd be forgiven for thinking the premises is well hidden, but its owner, Nick Bull, explained his small bungalow and unassuming barn were ‘the centre of his world', and rightly so. I had a chat with one of Severn Ciders' Directors, Tom Bull, about the company his family is building. We walked around his home, toured their presses and storage facilities, stood underneath a blossoming Box Kernel tree and spoke at length, through minute April showers, about apples, alcohol, and always pushing the boundaries… The Bull family began making cider as a family tradition. May Bull – husband of Nick, mother of Tom, and father-in-law of Severn Cider's founder, Phillip – explained that their hobby business quickly turned in to a domestic industry. Opening its doors to the public in 2009, the family now create thousands of bottles of cider and perry each year. The apples, all of which are hand-picked from within a thirty-mile radius of the brewery, come from orchards that have been neither sprayed nor fertilised in order to produce a drink that is free from harmful chemicals. Moreover, the juice has nothing added or removed. The question everyone wants the answer to: how does an apple become alcohol? Tom explained that after being hand-picked, the apples are washed and sorted ready for milling and processing. The mill smashes the apples to a puree before they're transferred to the press which squeezes out juices. What's left is a mush of pulp – something I can only describe as a flapjack of compressed apple, given out to local farms to be biodigested. The juice is then transferred to containers where it sits… waiting patiently. That's where this photograph comes from. Just off to the right sit four huge tankers of cider, floor-to-ceiling. Behind those four tankers sit another four, and another four, continuing as far as the eye can see, right to the back of a warehouse I'm guessing is about the size of a football pitch. ‘If we're talking half-litre bottles, there's a couple of hundred thousand here, I suppose', Tom explains. By the way, the place smells fantastic. Meanwhile, the juice matures on its own natural yeasts, breaking down the sugars and turning it in to alcohol. When the cider has reached its peak, it is flushed from the tankers to newly-cleaned ones for storage. From there, the liquid is syphoned off to oak casks, ready for bottling. Carefully conserving and propagating their trees, the family have even managed to save one critically endangered fruit, the Box Kernel, from extinction. Grafting and budding the last remaining Box Kernel tree in the parish, a number of trees now exist, used by the family to brew Box Kernel cider. Tom assures me it tastes delicious and I have no reason to doubt him. Severn Cider and Perry are the producers of Core Blimey, the Students' Union run social enterprise at the University of Gloucestershire. They supply us with white-label stock which we rebrand and sell as our own – we've won awards for it, just like Severn Cider has!
