Send us Fan MailOn this week's episode, Callum takes a trip to rainy Lincoln for the Tour of Britain Men, and to chat to 2018 Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas and Olympic team pursuit champion-turned-active travel campaigner Ed Clancy about cycling's safety issues, encouraging active travel, and why British domestic racing is still in the doldrums.Plus, Callum and Ryan dissect the Vuelta, including its neutralisation debacle, Enric Mas's win, and Matthew Brennan's meteoric rise to the top. Plus, we also bicker about Callum's obsession with Primož Roglič…
Luke Tuckwell's first Grand Tour was a three-week apprenticeship. He rode the Vuelta a España as Primož Roglič's climbing support, spent most of it on his wheel, and came out the other side named in Australia's team for his first elite world championships. He's 22.Roglič wanted him sitting behind rather than leading, which turned out to be the better classroom - Luke could watch where a nine-time Grand Tour podium finisher puts himself in a bunch, and when he spends energy and when he doesn't. By the final week the two of them had stopped needing to speak. He also gets into what Roglič passed on off the bike, the bus conversations, and why a rider that decorated was still thanking his teammates on stage 21.Then Montreal. Luke wasn't expecting selection, what Matt Hayman told him about bringing young riders through early, and a very honest answer on why the green and gold never moved the needle at junior and U23 level — and why it does now. Plus why he thinks a chaotic race suits an Australian team without a superstar.And the road that got him there: the Simon Clark message in 2021, an Italian team where nobody spoke English, learning how to train in Girona, and the night at the Baby Giro when Red Bull said his results didn't match his power numbers.
Čeprav je Tadej Pogačar odstopil že na začetku Vuelte, sta dirko zaznamovala kar dva Slovenca. Primož Roglič je kljub poškodbi v pripravah končal na izjemnem drugem mestu, Jakob Omrzel pa je bil sploh najmlajši udeleženec, ki je navdušil z drugim mestom v boju za belo majico. Vabljeni k poslušanju.
Mikel Landa conquista una de las etapas más salvajes de esta Vuelta a España con una victoria para el recuerdo en el Collado del Alguacil. Después de meterse en la fuga, el vasco esperó hasta las durísimas rampas finales para soltar a Tobias Johannessen y reencontrarse con la victoria en La Vuelta once años después. Una jornada de montaña total, con ataques desde muy lejos de Carapaz y Kuss, casi 187 kilómetros y un encadenado brutal por las montañas de Granada que convirtió la etapa reina en uno de los grandes días de esta edición. Y por detrás, Enric Mas superó definitivamente el último gran examen. Movistar respondió a una carrera completamente rota, Mas controló los movimientos de sus rivales y, cuando llegó la hora de la verdad, volvió a demostrar que tenía piernas para defender el rojo. Primož Roglič terminó cediendo terreno y el mallorquín deja La Vuelta prácticamente sentenciada con 2:15 sobre el esloveno y 2:44 sobre Felix Gall. A falta únicamente de la jornada final en Granada, Enric Mas está a punto de conquistar la primera gran vuelta de su carrera y devolver a España un triunfo en La Vuelta que no consigue desde Alberto Contador en 2014.

Eddie Dunbar se lleva la etapa reina de Peñas Blancas después de una larguísima jornada de 210 kilómetros y una fuga que ha terminado encontrando premio. El irlandés ha sido el más fuerte en el tramo final de la ascensión, superando a Santiago Buitrago en los últimos metros para conseguir su primera victoria en esta Vuelta y la tercera de su carrera en la ronda española. Por detrás, nueva batalla entre los hombres de la general, pero Enric Mas vuelve a salir indemne. Primož Roglič lo intentó en Peñas Blancas y Richard Carapaz también buscó romper la carrera, pero el líder respondió con solvencia y mantiene intacta su ventaja antes de la última gran jornada de montaña. Mas continúa con 1:37 sobre Roglič y 3:01 sobre Felix Gall, y mañana llega el examen definitivo: cinco puertos y final en el durísimo Collado del Alguacil.
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down the Stage 18 time trial, where Tudor's Stefan Küng won the stage, and Movistar's Enric Mas limited his losses to Primož Roglič enough to hold a sizeable lead into the final two mountain stages. Johan breaks down the day's good and bad tactical moves, and they preview Friday's Stage 19, which serves up a tough mountain stage.

The Vuelta a España reaches a crucial point on Stage 18 as the race turns against the clock, with 32.1km between El Puerto de Santa María and Jerez de la Frontera. With Enric Mas starting the day in red, Felix Gall in second and Primož Roglič sitting third overall, the time trial represented a huge opportunity for the Slovenian to close the gap. Roglič had historically had the advantage over Mas against the clock, but the Spaniard had more than two minutes in hand and needed to limit his losses to keep the lead. At the front of the stage, Stefan Küng produced a huge ride to set the fastest time, holding off the challenge of the other time-trial specialists. Wout van Aert had been one of the main threats to his time but faded slightly towards the finish, leaving Küng to claim a major Vuelta victory. The real drama came further down the road as the GC riders completed their rides. Roglič put significant time into Enric Mas, but not enough to take the red jersey. Mas finished just 12th fastest on the day, losing a little over half a minute to Roglič and successfully defending his overall lead. Félix Gall dropped from second to third overall, with Roglič moving into second. We get into Küng's brilliant stage win, Roglič's attempt to take control of the GC, Mas' successful defence of the red jersey and what the time trial means for the final stages of the Vuelta.

Geen anderhalve minuut, geen minuut, maar 33 seconden. Zo weinig geeft Enric Mas toe op Primož Roglič in de tijdrit. De Spanjaard gaat daardoor met een hele comfortabele voorsprong het laatste zware weekend van de Vuelta in. In een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel bespreekt Niek Goedvolk de tijdrit met Roxane Knetemann en wielerverslaggever Marijn Abbenhuijs. Is dit wat de rode trui met een renner doet? Of heeft Mas stiekem heel erg naar deze tijdrit toegewerkt? Uiteraard ook aandacht voor Stefan Küng, die na een zware blessure terugkeert met een ritwinst in een grote ronde. Tot slot nemen we de WK-selectie van de Nederlandse vrouwen door. Volgens Rox zaten daar best een paar verrassingen tussen en Marijn sprak bondscoach Laurens ten Dam.

S tekmami prvega kroga se je začela rokometna liga prvakov. Med elito znova nastopajo slovenski državni prvaki Celjani, ki so sinoči začeli evropsko sezono na gostovanju v Zagrebu. Kolesarska dirka po Španiji pa danes prinaša posamično vožnjo na čas, na kateri bo Primož Roglič poskušal zmanjšati zaostanek za vodilnim Enricom Masom. Olimpijski prvak iz Tokia za vodilnim Špancem zaostaja za dve minuti in deset sekund.
Po dnevu premora se je včeraj začel zadnji teden kolesarske dirke po Španiji, na kateri sta še vedno v odpredju dva Slovenca, Primož Roglič in Jakob Omrzel. V tem tednu se je v turški Akyaki začelo tudi evropsko prvenstvo v formuli kite, na katerem bosta slovenske barve zastopala Toni in Marina Vodišek. Za srebrnega olimpijca pa to ne bo glavno tekmovanje sezone.
Skrajno desna Alternativa za Nemčijo je na volitvah v zvezni deželi Saška - Anhalt dobila približno 44 odstotkov glasov in tako podvojila volilni izid iz leta 2021. Kot je dejal vodja AfD v deželi, Ulrich Siegmund, so volilci izglasovali politiko, ki je usmerjena v svoj narod in ne v reševanje vsega sveta. Drugi poudarki oddaje: - Ukrajinski predsednik Volodimir Zelenski ocenjuje, da se bo vojna z Rusijo nadaljevala v zimo. - Priprava rebalansa državnega proračuna v ciljni ravnini. - Po 15-ti etapi kolesarske dirke po Španiji Primož Roglič ostaja na tretjem mestu v skupnem seštevku.
Za kolesarji na Dirki po Španiji sta dva tedna, Primož Roglič je še vedno v lovu na rekordno peto zmago in rdečo majico. Zaostanek za Enricom Masom se je sicer povečal na dobri dve minuti, a Zasavec je že večkrat dokazal, da se ga ne sme nikoli odpisati. V drugem tednu pa je zablestel tudi Jakob Omrzel, ki je postal osmi Slovenec z etapno zmago na eni od tritedenskih dirk in je zelo blizu zmagi v seštevku mladih kolesarjev. Vablejni k poslušanju.
Še šest etap je ostalo do konca kolesarske dirke po Španiji. Kaj lahko v zadnjem tednu storita Primož Roglič, ki želi podreti rekord s peto zmago na tej dirki, in Jakob Omrzel, ki je prejšnji teden prvič dobil etapo na eni od tritedenskih dirk?
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Marco Brenner's stage win from the breakaway to deliver both him and his Tudor team their first Grand Tour stage win, as well as the GC action behind, which saw Enric Mas and Felix Gall slightly extend their GC gap over Primož Roglič and Richard Carapaz. They also preview tomorrow's Stage 15, which will deliver fast-paced, explosive action due to the shortened course.

Marco Brenner consigue la victoria más importante de su carrera en la Sierra de La Pandera. El alemán del Tudor culminó una durísima jornada de montaña desde la escapada y resolvió el triunfo en los últimos metros ante Santiago Buitrago, logrando así su primera victoria de etapa en una gran vuelta. Por detrás, Enric Mas volvió a salir reforzado de otro de los grandes exámenes de esta Vuelta. El líder atacó a cuatro kilómetros de meta y, aunque inicialmente no consiguió abrir diferencias, aprovechó posteriormente el movimiento de Felix Gall para marcharse junto al austriaco. Primož Roglič no pudo responder y terminó cediendo 25 segundos. Gall asciende a la segunda posición de la general, a 2:06 de Mas, mientras que Roglič cae al tercer puesto a 2:10. Movistar volvió a gestionar con inteligencia una jornada de enorme desgaste y Enric continúa aumentando su colchón antes de la decisiva contrarreloj de la tercera semana.

Wout van Aert consigue por fin su victoria en La Vuelta 2026. El belga culminó una jornada de auténtica clásica entre Almuñécar y Loja, entrando en una enorme escapada y resolviendo el día en un mano a mano con Valentin Paret-Peintre, al que superó en la llegada. Matthew Brennan completó otra exhibición colectiva de Visma terminando tercero a 24 segundos. Después de trabajar para las tres victorias de su compañero, pelear por la montaña y dominar la clasificación por puntos, Van Aert encuentra también su premio personal en esta Vuelta. Pero la etapa dejó además una situación muy interesante para la general. Mattias Skjelmose se filtró en la escapada y obligó a Movistar a gestionar una ventaja peligrosa durante buena parte del día. El danés finalmente recortó 2:10 a Enric Mas, pasando de estar a 7:42 a quedarse a 5:32, aunque continúa séptimo. Mas conserva el rojo con 1:45 sobre Primož Roglič y 2:06 sobre Felix Gall, en una jornada en la que Movistar decidió gastar lo mínimo posible antes de afrontar mañana uno de los grandes exámenes de esta Vuelta: la Sierra de la Pandera.

Navkljub rojakom, ki v svetu cestnega kolesarstva postavljajo rekorde in skoraj nedosegljive mejnike, je doslej najmlajši slovenski zmagovalec etape na tritedenskih dirkah danes postal Jakob Omrzel. Povedal je, da se je počutil zelo dobro, da ni utrujen niti po koncu etape ter da samo uživa v trenutku. V skupnem seštevku, kjer na drugem mestu ostaja Primož Roglič, je Omrzel napredoval na 6-to mesto. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Vlada želi z novelo znižati trošarine na kurilno olje, napovedane tudi subvencije za kmete in avtoprevoznike - Ministrica za Slovence v zamejstvu in po svetu Suzana Lep Šiménko od Italije pričakuje recipročen odnos pri zaščiti manjšin - Rdeči križ se pripravlja na osrednji dogodek ob praznovanju 160-e obletnice delovanja.
Shockwaves hit the cycling world this week as Tadej Pogačar crashed out of La Vuelta a España, leaving his 2026 season in doubt. We dive into the tactical shift for Enric Mas and Primož Roglič as the battle for the red jersey becomes anyone's game. Plus, we cover Tom Pidcock's masterclass at the MTB World Championships, the European Gravel results, and a massive wave of transfer news.
Prireditelji v Kopru so pripravljeni na domači mednarodni plezalni spektakel, na katerem se bodo pomerili nekateri najboljši športni plezalci in plezalke na svetu. Na španskih cestah pa se po dnevu premora nadaljuje kolesarska dirka. Po odstopu Tadeja Pogačarja je osrednji adut za vrhunsko slovensko uvrstitev Primož Roglič.
Začetek 9. sezone podkasta SOS-odmev je obarvan v rdečo barvo in kolesarsko Dirko po Španiji. Začetek Vuelte je povsem pripadel Tadeju Pogačarju, ki je hipoma osvojil tri etape, a je moral po padcu odstopiti. Po 9 etapah zdaj vodi Enric Mas, odlično pa se drži Primož Roglič, ki še vedno napada rekordno peto skupno zmago.
Dat zelfs de allergrootsten der Aarde zijn niet onschendbaar in het wielrennen, bleek zaterdag andermaal tijdens de achtste etappe van La Vuelta. Waar Tadej Pogačar twee etappes eerder nog heel goed wegkwam tijdens de afdaling van de Puerto El Bartolo, was hij op 33 kilometer van Xeraco minder gelukkig. Hij crashte hard en moest de koers per ambulance verlaten. De eeuwenoude wet van 'de een zijn dood, is de ander zijn brood' maakt het dat La Vuelta ineens weer megaspannend is. Spanjaard Enric Mas erfde het rood van Pogačar en heeft in het behoud van de leiderstrui grote concurrentie van onder meer Primož Roglič, Felix Gall en Oscar Onley. Tijd om even op adem te komen tijdens deze rustdag, waar de koersplannen ongetwijfeld even worden aangescherpt voor de komende week. We spraken erover met Raymond Kerckhoffs van WielerFlits. Presentatie: Robert Denneman
(31.8.2026) Kým školáci svoje prázdniny končia, na nútené prázdniny poslal mobilný cestný nábytok Tadeja Pogačara. Bez suverénneho favorita pretekov naberá Vuelta úplne novú dynamiku, čo bolo cítiť medzi jazdcami na celkové poradie už deň po Pogačarovom odstúpení. Enric Mas prekypuje aktivitou a potvrdzuje ju aj fungujúcimi nohami. Oscar Onley prináša do diania čerstvý vietor a Primož Roglič si zatiaľ skúsene premeriava svojich súperov.

La Vuelta a España 2026 vive una jornada titánica con la disputa de su novena etapa, el primer gran examen de alta montaña y la verdadera etapa reina de esta primera semana de competición. Con un recorrido dantesco de 187,4 kilómetros entre La Vila Joiosa y la imponente cima del Alto de Aitana, el pelotón encara un desnivel positivo superior a los 5.000 metros en un encadenado implacable de seis puertos puntuables.Tras el terremoto competitivo desatado con el abandono de Tadej Pogačar y la coronación de Enric Mas (Movistar Team) como nuevo líder de la general, la carretera dicta sentencia frente al asedio de rivales como Primož Roglič y los escaladores puros.
Liebe Radsportfreunde, MOININGER und ein herzliches Willkommen zur 184. Folge der JAN ULLRICH ULTRAS.Was für ein Schock bei der Vuelta a España!Tadej Pogačar - der große Dominator, der Topfavorit, der Mann, der diese Vuelta scheinbar nach Belieben kontrolliert hat - ist raus!Auf der achten Etappe von Puçol nach Xeraco stürzt der Slowene rund 32 Kilometer vor dem Ziel schwer. Pogačar versucht noch einmal aufs Rad zu steigen, doch die Verletzungen sind zu schwer. Die Vuelta ist für ihn beendet - und damit platzt auch der Traum vom Triple (Giro, Tour und Vuelta).Und dabei hatte er diese Vuelta bis dahin regelrecht auseinandergenommen.Drei Etappensiege in den ersten sechs Tagen. Sieg im Auftaktzeitfahren in Monaco. Sieg auf der schweren Etappe nach Andorra. Sieg in Castelló. Dazu das Rote Trikot seit dem ersten Tag.Und vor seinem Sturz lag Pogačar satte 3:50 Minuten vor Enric Mas und 4:50 Minuten vor Primož Roglič.Und jetzt ist plötzlich alles anders.Aus einer Vuelta, die nach einem weiteren großen Pogačar-Solo aussah, wird ein völlig offenes Rennen um Rot.Enric Mas trägt jetzt das Rote Trikot. Dahinter lauern Primož Roglič, nur rund eine Minute zurück, Felix Gall, Sepp Kuss, Oscar Onley und Richard Carapaz. Auch Mattias Skjelmose ist noch in Schlagdistanz.Wer hat jetzt die besten Karten?Das alles heute bei den JAN ULLRICH ULTRAS!
La Vuelta a España 2026 afronta este viernes 28 de agosto su séptima etapa, una jornada vibrante y de puro desgaste que marca el primer gran test de montaña en territorio peninsular. Con 149,8 kilómetros entre la salida en Vall d'Alba y la exigente llegada en alto en la estación de esquí de Aramón Valdelinares, el pelotón se adentra en el Maestrazgo turolense para encarar un desnivel acumulado superior a los 3.500 metros.Tras el dominio inicial del esloveno Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates), la etapa de hoy abre un escenario estratégico para favoritos como Enric Mas y Primož Roglič, así como para los cazadores de etapas en las rampas finales por encima de los 1.900 metros de altitud.
Pogačar has just put some serious daylight between himself and the rest of the Vuelta field. After yesterday's stage was wiped out by the weather, the race gets straight back into the mountains in Andorra, with just 104.8km on the menu but more than 2,800 metres of climbing. And it turns into another statement ride from the world champion. Pogačar attacks on the Collada de Beixalis with the race already being blown apart behind him. He then keeps extending his advantage over the final climbs and descents, eventually arriving in Andorra la Vella completely on his own to take the stage by 2:39. Behind him, the fight for the remaining podium places is much closer, with 20-year-old Jarno Widar taking second ahead of Félix Gall. Primož Roglič finishes seventh on the stage but moves into second overall, while Enric Mas, Sepp Kuss, Oscar Onley and Richard Carapaz all remain within striking distance of the podium. We look back at Pogačar's latest show of strength, the battle behind, and what a three-minute lead this early in the Vuelta means for everyone trying to stop him. Ned Boutling and Pete Kennaugh break down Stage 4 of the Vuelta. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tadej Pogačar takes the first red jersey of the 2026 Vuelta, but he has to work right to the line to edge out Ethan Hayter by just nine tenths of a second. We get into an incredibly tight battle at the top, Hayter's near-miss, and Pogačar's decision to throw everything at the technical final section. There's also a hugely emotional ride from Josh Tarling, who takes on the opening stage just days after the death of his younger brother Finlay, as well as early looks at the likes of Wout van Aert, João Almeida, Primož Roglič and Enric Mas. So, what can we actually read into the first day? Who has started the Vuelta in good shape, and what does that opening time trial tell us about the three weeks ahead? We also hear from Ned Boulting from the finish line of Stage 4 of the Women's Tour of Britain. Pete Kennaugh and David Millar break down Stage 1 of the Vuelta. ______________________________________________________________

La Vuelta a España 2026 arranca con un final de auténtica locura en las calles de Mónaco. Tadej Pogačar gana la contrarreloj inaugural por solo nueve centésimas sobre Ethan Hayter y se convierte en el primer maillot rojo de la carrera. El esloveno completa los 9,4 kilómetros en 10:57 y empieza dejando claro que ha venido a por la única gran vuelta que todavía falta en su palmarés. En Escapa Podcast analizamos todo lo que deja la primera jornada: el enorme rendimiento de Hayter, el emotivo tercer puesto de Joshua Tarling a cuatro segundos, apenas unos días después del fallecimiento de su hermano; las diferencias entre los hombres de la general; João Almeida e Iván Romeo a 18 segundos, un Primož Roglič que cede 22 segundos y las primeras sensaciones de una Vuelta que ya empieza con Pogačar al frente. ¿Estamos ante tres semanas de dominio del esloveno o todavía hay partido?

V soboto se v Monaku začenja 81. Dirka po Španiji, kjer je nesporni favorit Tadej Pogačar. Na startu bo kar sedem Slovencev, med njimi tudi Primož Roglič, ki je s štirimi zmagami sorekorder po številu končnih zmag. Svoje misli in vtise je delil Jani Brajkovič, ki je eden redkih, ki je na tej dirki nosil tako zlato kot rdečo majico. Vabljeni k poslušanju.
El debate deportivo analiza la próxima edición de la Vuelta a España, destacando la ilusión por jóvenes promesas del ciclismo como Iván Romeo y Pablo Torres, frente al papel de corredores consolidados como Enric Mas. También se resalta la figura de Primož Roglič, quien busca convertirse en el ciclista más laureado de la historia de la competición, y el favoritismo indudable de Tadej Pogačar. En cuanto al trazado de la carrera, la prueba discurre por la vertiente mediterránea y el sur del país, con etapas de gran dureza como la subida a la Alhambra en Granada y una exigente contrarreloj inaugural que transcurre por el circuito de Fórmula 1 en Mónaco.

Liebe Radsportfreunde, MOININGER und ein herzliches Willkommen zur 182. Folge der JAN ULLRICH ULTRAS.Drei Wochen. 21 Etappen. Über 3.200 Kilometer - und mehr als 58.000 Höhenmeter.Die Vuelta a España 2026 steht vor der Tür - und diesmal beginnt die Reise nicht irgendwo in Spanien, sondern ganz mondän im Fürstentum Monaco. Von dort geht es über Frankreich und Andorra hinein in den spanischen Südosten, über brutale Anstiege, schnelle Abfahrten, Zeitfahren und die legendären Berge der Vuelta. Und am Ende wartet Granada.Und die Startliste verspricht richtig großes Kino: Tadej Pogačar ist zurück und jagt seinen ersten Vuelta-Sieg, Primož Roglič möchte sich den fünften Gesamtsieg holen, dazu kommen Wout van Aert, Richard Carapaz, João Almeida und jede Menge junge Fahrer, die ihre große Bühne suchen.Aber welche Etappen werden die Vuelta entscheiden? Wo liegen die größten Fallen? Was erwartet uns an den Bergen – und wer hat am Ende die besten Karten auf das rote Trikot?Genau darüber sprechen wir heute.Wir schauen auf die Strecke, die Favoriten, die deutschen Starter und natürlich auf die Highlights, die wir uns im Kalender ganz dick angestrichen haben.Und weil wir bei den Jan Ullrich Ultras sind, darf natürlich eines nicht fehlen: ein Blick zurück.Denn die Vuelta hat auch aus deutscher Sicht ihre ganz eigene Geschichte. Wir erinnern uns an deutsche Etappensiege, große Auftritte, tragische Momente und an die Zeiten, in denen deutsche Fahrer bei den großen Rundfahrten noch ganz vorne um die Gesamtwertung kämpften.Also: Zeit für Spanien, Zeit für drei Wochen Radsportwahnsinn – und Zeit für die Vuelta a España 2026.### Ihr wollt uns unterstützen? ###Bewertet uns, folgt uns, kommentiert und und und ...

Als motivierendes Anschieben ist der Folgentitel dieser Episode zu verstehen: Ohne Fleiß kein Preis, zu viel nach rechts und links zu schauen führt selten geradeaus – und wer nur für Likes trainiert oder ohnehin Schwachsinn betreibt, kann es auch gleich sein lassen.Wir regen uns – mal wieder – über sinnlose Ultras auf, geben Erziehungstipps für dekadente Radsport-Eltern und klären, warum nach dem DNS in Polen für Baller nun belgisches Mistwetter statt Deutschland-Tour auf dem Programm steht.Zum Schluss werfen wir noch einen Blick auf den Transfermarkt: Was interessiert hier eigentlich niemanden, und was sollte Primož Roglič besser bleiben lassen? Unsere Antworten gibt's hier.

This week, former professional cyclist Tom Schuler and NPR's Mitch Teich join us to preview the upcoming Vuelta a España! We kick things off with a deep dive into the state of American cycling, discussing the financial hurdles of hosting a three-week race in the U.S. and hearing about the record-breaking success of the Tour of America's Dairyland. The conversation shifts to the dominance of Tadej Pogačar, as we debate his quest to tick the Vuelta off his list and whether he is the greatest cyclist of all time in a modern, hyper-competitive era. Along the way, Tom shares a classic story about meeting Eddy Merckx in 1974, we break down the brutal "Queen Stage" with over 5,000 meters of vertical gain, and we look at the potential internal team drama at UAE Team Emirates. We also chat about the twilight careers of veterans like Primož Roglič and Enrique Moss, our picks for the podium and much, much more! Enjoy!
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss the tragic death of Finlay Tarling at the Volta a Portugal before getting into what Tadej Pogačar's decision to start the Vuelta a España means for his chances at the Worlds. They also go through a roundup of recent results, like Wout van Aert's impressive showing at the Tour of Denmark, and transfers, including rumors of Primož Roglič going to Lotto-Intermarché, and what Isaac del Toro renewing with UAE means for his future as a Tour de France contender, and whether it kills any chance of Paul Seixas going to the superteam.

Stage 9 of the 2026 Tour de France was tailor-made for the breakaway, with an parcours full of ups and downs that encouraged attacking racing from the very start. After a fierce battle to get up the road, a powerful group finally broke clear, and this time, the peloton didn't see them again until the very end. The headline act was Mathieu van der Poel, who proved strongest in the finale to claim the stage victory after spending the day in the break. Tom Pidcock was also among the race's biggest protagonists, riding aggressively throughout the stage and contributing heavily to the move, but ultimately falling short when it mattered most. Behind them, UAE Team Emirates and INEOS Grenadiers both spent long periods driving the peloton, seemingly weighing up whether to bring the escapees back. In the end, both teams eased off, accepting that the stage wasn't worth the effort, and the breakaway survived all the way to the finish. Away from the stage itself, Ned Boulting and David Millar discuss Primož Roglič's confirmed departure from Red Bull, where he ranks among the greatest riders of his generation, and what the move could mean for the final chapter of his career. The episode also features one of David's favourite stories from his racing days, as he reflects on the toughest day he ever endured on the bike, a ride that has largely gone under the radar despite leaving a lasting mark on his memory. Ned Boulting and David Millar break down Stage 9
Tijdens de Tour de France 2026 maken wij iedere dag een podcast. In vijftien minuten praten we je bij over wat je echt moet weten voor de volgende etappe. Vandaag analyseren we waar het misging voor Visma | Lease a Bike en Jonas Vingegaard, die door UAE Emirates XRG rechtstreeks naar de slachtbank werden geleid. Ook hoor je wat je moet weten over de sprintrit van vrijdag!Al dagen kondigde UAE Emirates XRG aan dat de Tourmalet-rit de etappe was waar Tadej Pogacar voor de eerste keer écht zou toeslaan. De wereldkampioen en zijn ploeg lieten niets aan het toeval over en overklasten de concurrentie op de flanken van de Tourmalet. Visma | Lease a Bike had weliswaar een plan gemaakt om hun aartsrivalen voor te zijn, maar dankzij de sprintersploegen was dat gameplan al om zeep voordat ze er überhaupt aan konden beginnen.Uiteraard zijn er verzachtende omstandigheden voor het Nederlandse WorldTeam. Van het beoogde achttal dat afgelopen winter werd aangemerkt door Visma | Lease a Bike, ontbreken er in deze Tour liefst drie. Volgens onze verslaggevers Maxim Horssels en Youri IJnsen legde de Pyreneeënrit pijnlijk bloot dat de gekozen tactiek van Visma | Lease a Bike vooral Wout van Aert miste. Daarnaast sloopte UAE Emirates XRG de concurrentie met twee kopmannen: niet alleen Pogacar, maar ook Isaac Del Toro.Net die twee beproefde strategieën - het duokoopmanschap (Vingegaard en Primož Roglič in 2022) en de satalietrenner naar voren sturen (Wout van Aert) - zijn in het verleden succesvol geweest voor Visma | Lease a Bike. Nu zullen ze opnieuw naar de tekentafel moeten. Dat geldt na een paar opgaves ook voor enkele sprintploegen met oog op de sprintrit van vrijdag. In Bordeaux gaat Olav Kooij jagen op een nieuwe ritzege, maar er zijn nog veel meer kapers op de kust. Luister dus snel!
Slovenski košarkarji bodo v prvem julijskem tednu končali prvi del kvalifikacij za uvrstitev na svetovno prvenstvo 2027. Pred odhodom v Estonijo se bodo zvečer v Celju v prijateljskem obračunu pomerili z Italijo. Kolesarji na slovenskih cestah pa se ta konec tedna merijo za državne naslove. Po včerajšnji vožnji na čas bo sledila še cestna dirka, na kateri med favorite spadajo tekmovalci moštev svetovne serije. Med temi so Primož Roglič, Matej Mohorič, Jakob Omrzel in drugi.
Nueva entrega de A Rueda de Samu con Nomio, la sección de Escapa Podcast en la que cada 15 días analizamos la actualidad del ciclismo junto a Samuel Sánchez, campeón olímpico, pódium en Tour y Vuelta y una de las voces más autorizadas para entender el pelotón desde dentro. A solo una semana del inicio del Tour de Francia 2026 en Barcelona, repasamos con Samu todo lo que puede decidir la carrera: la contrarreloj por equipos inaugural, la llegada a Montjuïc, el paso inmediato por los Pirineos y un recorrido que terminará con dos jornadas consecutivas en Alpe d'Huez. ¿Hay alguna forma real de derrotar a Tadej Pogačar? ¿Pagará Jonas Vingegaard el esfuerzo de haber disputado el Giro? ¿Cuánto pierde Visma sin Wout van Aert? ¿Quién puede romper el duelo entre los dos grandes favoritos? Analizamos también las opciones de Remco Evenepoel, Florian Lipowitz, Juan Ayuso, Isaac del Toro, Paul Seixas y Richard Carapaz. Además, debatimos sobre el nuevo sistema de puntuación del maillot verde y si el cambio está pensado para proteger a los sprinters o para impedir que Pogačar pueda ganarlo. Y hablamos del maillot de la montaña con el último ciclista español que logró conquistarlo en el Tour: Samuel Sánchez. Samu también se moja con sus pronósticos para el Tour de Francia 2026: ganador, podio, mejor español, maillot verde, maillot de la montaña, revelación y gran decepción. Para terminar, jugamos a “El ganador se queda”: Nairo Quintana, Vingegaard, Alberto Contador, Chris Froome, Primož Roglič, Roberto Heras, Miguel Indurain, Alejandro Valverde, Perico Delgado, Samuel Sánchez y Purito Rodríguez se enfrentan en un duelo encadenado. Solo uno puede quedar en pie. Sección patrocinada por Nomio. Descubre sus productos en: www.drinknomio.com Y recuerda: tienes un 15 % de descuento usando el código ESCAPA15.

V popoldanskih minutah bosta v ospredju košarkarski in kolesarski prispevek. Na dirki po Švici nastopata oba slovenska zvezdnika, Primož Roglič in Tadej Pogačar, ki je že po včerajšnji prvi etapi prevzel majico vodilnega na dirki. Slovenski košarkarski reprezentanti pa so začeli priprave na zadnji tekmi prvega dela kvalifikacij za uvrstitev na svetovno prvenstvo.
Tudi v popoldanskih športnih minutah je ena od osrednjih tem povezana s kolesarstvom. Z današnjo etapo se je začela dirka po Švici, na kateri nastopata oba slovenska zvezdnika, Tadej Pogačar in Primož Roglič. Prireditelji v Ljubljani pa so predstavili podrobnosti, povezane z domačim turnirjem lige narodov v odbojki. Slovenska reprezentanca se bo konec meseca v Stožicah pomerila tudi z velesilama Brazilijo in Italijo, aktualno svetovno prvakinjo.
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.

Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Tudor Pro Cycling's Larry Warbasse are in the hotseats as we return to review the big talking points from another fascinating week in the world of pro cycling. Our men's Arrivée episode at the weekend covered the key moments in Wout Van Aert's redemptive victory in Paris-Roubaix. A few days later, with a visit to Coorevits Corner and Larry's reflections, we dig into what we and also you at home may have missed on a Sunday in “Hell”. Daniel spent last week at Itzulia aka the Tour of the Basque Country. We get a flavour of that trip and a sense of what victory could mean for Paul Seixas and French cycling. We also touch on Primož Roglič's struggles in Spain before looking ahead to the start of a new Classics swing this weekend.

Po srebrni kolajni, ki jo je osvojila smučarska skakalka Nika Prevc, slovenski športni navdušenci pričakujejo, da se bo drevi - prav tako na svojih prvih olimpijskih igrah - z odličjem okitil še njen brat Domen. Njun nekdanji kolega Primož Roglič, ki je olimpijski prvak sicer postal v drugi športni disciplini, je na sinočnjem odprtju Slovenske hiše poudaril, da je med ključnimi sestavinami uspeha pristop. Druge teme: - Poslanci danes med drugim o spremembi financiranja občin, organiziranosti in delu v policiji ter popolni prepovedi pirotehnike - Na ponovljenih volitvah za predsednika Republike Srbske znova zmagal zaveznik Milorada Dodika Siniša Karan - Začenja se Festival gorniškega filma, ki bo v Ljubljani, Domžalah in Radovljici na ogled ponudil 34 del, od tega 9 domačih
The first regular episode of the year is traditionally our excuse to indulge in some rare speculation ahead of the coming season – and Daniel Friebe and Lionel Birnie are back to uphold the time-honoured ritual here. In addition to our hosts' often leftfield prognostications, we hear what our international carousel of regular contributors is expecting from the next few months. Which one of our regular guests, for example, reckons that Primož Roglič won't win a single race in 2026? Who reckons that Jonas Vingegaard will complete the Grand Tour Grand Slam before Tadej Pogačar? And what on earth is a Noni fruit – and what ‘juice', exactly, does Daniel have on their miraculous ability to boost performance? All of this and more will be revealed!

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down the explosive action from Stage 16 of the Giro d'Italia, where the race's first true mountain stages exploded the GC, with UAE's Isaac del Toro finally showing signs of weakness as he struggled to hold the race lead, as Richard Carapaz, Derek Gee and Simon Yates closed in, and pre-race favorites Primož Roglič and Juan Ayuso both fell out of the GC completely, with Roglič leaving the race entirely. They discuss a few main takeaways from the stage before previewing yet another brutal stage tomorrow on Stage 17, predicting who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.

Johan Bruyneel, George Hincapie, and Spencer Martin break down Sunday's stage 15 of the Giro d'Italia, which saw Carlos Verona take the win with a long-range solo attack and the GC come to life with UAE's Isaac del Toro easily defending his race lead while distancing pre-race favorite Primož Roglič. In addition to highlighting Del Toro's incredible strength so far, they dive into the question of whether he can realistically hold on to win the overall and become the second 21-year-old, behind his teammate Tadej Pogačar, to win the overall at a Grand Tour. They also discuss he and his UAE team's potential vulnerability due to the apparent confusion about who the team's leader is, and how the brutally hard third week will shuffle the final overall standings. Before they take off, they predict who will win Stage 16's critical mountain stage and how the GC picture will look afterward.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Kasper Asgreen's incredible solo win ahead of a fast-chasing pack on Stage 14 of the Giro d'Italia, and dissect the GC repecussions of the late crash, which split the peloton, caught out multiple GC contenders, including Juan Ayuso and Primož Roglič and allowed UAE's Isaac del Toro to continue to build his GC lead. They discuss a few takeaways from the stage before previewing tomorrow's Stage 14, predicting who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin discuss today's stage of the Giro d'Italia, which Lidl-Trek's Daan Hoole won over Ineos' Josh Tarling in a surprising upset. They break down how the changes in the GC classification, including Primož Roglič taking back a chunk of his losses from Sunday's Stage 9, Juan Ayuso pulling closer to his teammate Isaac del Toro's race lead, and how their UAE team will approach their jersey defense in the coming days before previewing tomorrow's Stage 11, a tricky stage with multiple tough climbs, predicting who will win, how the action will play out, and which riders present the best betting value.
