We're diving headfirst into the world of triathlon as we gear up for the 70.3 World Championships in Nice! The big takeaway? Expect a shake-up in the women's field with more solo athletes rather than the typical packs we've grown accustomed to. It's gonna be a wild ride as Jeff Sankoff and guest Matthew Sharp break down the competition, highlighting some key names to watch, including the absence of defending champ Lucy Charles Barkley—talk about a plot twist! We'll also chat about the course, which promises to be more challenging than Marbella, with its technical descents and all. And, of course, we'll sprinkle in some of our signature sarcasm and witty banter as we discuss the latest triathlon trends and gear, including the much-hyped Enervit C2.1 Pro Lactate Gel Mix—because who doesn't want to fuel up like Tadej Pogačar, right? So grab your headphones and get ready to laugh and learn as we dive into this action-packed episode!In this episode:Championship season is upon us, and boy, do we have a jam-packed episode for you! We're diving headfirst into the impending 70.3 World Championships in Nice, where our host, Jeff Sankoff, is more than just a casual observer; he's got skin in the game with his own triathlon aspirations. Joining him is the illustrious Matthew Sharp, a veteran triathlete who has graciously come out of his podcast retirement. Together, they unpack what makes this year's race particularly thrilling: the course's technical challenges, the fierce competition, and the absence of last year's women's champion, Lucy Charles Barkley, who has decided to focus solely on Kona. The duo discusses the likelihood of seeing a different dynamic in the race, especially with strong contenders like Taylor Knibb and Kat Matthews in the mix. Not to mention, the episode highlights the absurdity of training in a foreign country and the classic 'what to eat before the race' dilemma. Expect plenty of banter, sarcastic humor, and a few cheeky insights as they explore what's at stake for both amateur and professional triathletes. Jeff also shares his plans to capture the event live, promising some entertaining behind-the-scenes content for listeners eager to experience the race vicariously.Segments:[8:28]- Medical Mailbag: Tadej's Gel[35:11]- Interview: Matthew SharpLinks@mdsharpe1 on Instagram@mdshrp on X
Jak zareagovaly týmy po nešťastném pádu hlavního favorita na vítězství na Vueltě? „Sešlo se deset špatných věcí najednou a ukázalo, že ani Tadej není nesmrtelný. Není nic jednoduchého udržet stoprocentní koncentraci po celou dobu etapáku,“ připomíná v Kilometrech Jiří Ježek. Myslí si cyklistický expert Radiožurnálu Sport, že je reálné, aby Tadej Pogačar startoval na blížícím se mistrovství světa? A není to pro Slovince případně zbytečné pokoušení sil?
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.
La planète vélo a tremblé samedi dernier, lorsque son champion du monde Tadej Pogacar, l'invincible, est tombé sur les routes de la Vuelta. Contraint d'abandonner, le maillot rouge a été transporté à l'hôpital, devra être opéré de la clavicule, et voit sa fin de saison s'assombrir. Peut-on le voir revenir ? Peu probable quand on sait le temps nécessaire à la récupération après une telle chute. Le Slovène n'avait plus chuté si lourdement depuis trois ans sur Liège-Bastogne-Liège. Jamais, il n'avait dû quitter un grand tour prématurément. Quelles perspectives pour la suite de la saison ? Peut-on le voir sur les Mondiaux ou les Europe ? Georges Quirino, Pierre Koetschet, Pierre-Yves Leroux, Christophe Cessieux et Jérôme Coppel en débattent !
Mauro Gianetti, patron de l'équipe UAE Team Emirates, était l'invité de Marion Bartoli sur RMC. Il revient sur la chute de Tadej Pogacar sur la Vuelta et nous donne de ses nouvelles. Va-t-on le revoir sur une course cette saison ? Comment vit-il psychologiquement cet abandon ?
48 heures après le séisme provoqué par l'abandon sur chute de Tadej Pogacar, nos experts se projettent sur la suite d'une Vuelta plus ouverte que jamais et sur une fin de saison pleine d'interrogations.
“He disfrutado como un niño pequeño de llevar el maillot y hoy si que creo que nos lo merecemos. A partir de ahora lo vamos a vestir con orgullo”, aseguraba Enric Mas tras su victoria en la novena etapa de la Vuelta a España en la cima del Alto de Aitana. El ciclista de Movistar ha celebrado con rabia el triunfo, cuatro años después del último, y ha explicado el motivo.“Iván Romeo el año pasado en Valencia, yo la verdad que no lo miro, pero ellos dijeron que recibimos unas cuantas críticas de la forma en que nosotros celebrábamos las victorias, pero como son tan pocas hay que celebrarlas muy bien”, afirmó el balear que “después de la desgracia de Tadej” necesitaba la demostración de fuerza que ha hecho en la montaña alicantina.Una victoria “muy especial” que le ha hecho dar “un mordisquito en la general”. Enric Mas confía en seguir haciéndolo hasta Granada, aunque preguntado por si se ve ganador de la Vuelta a España ha sido muy claro entre risas: ...
Zlom ključnice in vratnega vretenca ter pretres možganov so posledice včerajšnjega hudega padca najboljšega kolesarja na svetu Tadeja Pogačarja na dirki po Španiji. Na družbenih omrežjih so zaokrožili pretreseni odzivi. Spoštovanje Pogačarju je na včerajšnji podelitvi po etapi izkazal Španec Enric Mas, saj ni želel obleči rdeče majice vodilnega v skupnem seštevku. Druge teme: - Na Islandiji štejejo glasovnice po včerajšnjem referendumu o vnovičnem začetku pogajanj o včlanitvi v Evropsko unijo. - Začasna venezuelska predsednica prepričana, da bo država ohranila nadzor nad svojimi naravnimi viri. - Novo šolsko leto prinaša tudi uvajanje prenovljeni učnih načrtov.
Le nouveau show animé par Marion Bartoli prend place chaque dimanche à 19h ! Aux côtés de Jean-Christophe Drouet, elle vient tirer le bilan de toute l'actualité sportive du week-end, sur un ton franc et direct !
The Vuelta has turned completely on its head. Stage 8 was supposed to be a relatively straightforward 171km run from Puçol to Xeraco, but with 32km still to race, everything changed when race leader Tadej Pogačar went down hard in the middle of the peloton. Pogačar, who had held the red jersey since winning the opening time trial in Monaco, was left sitting on the road as the race doctors and UAE team staff attended to him. With deep cuts to his left shoulder and face, he eventually left the race in an ambulance with his arm in a sling, bringing his Vuelta to a sudden and dramatic end. It's Pogačar's first abandonment from a Grand Tour and his first DNF since 2023, and it completely changes the shape of the race. Enric Mas takes over as the new race leader, although the Spaniard chooses not to wear the red jersey on the podium out of respect for Pogačar. What does this mean for the Vuelta podium, and what does it mean for Pogačar's goals of winning the big 3? Ned Boulting breaks down Stage 8 of the Vuelta a España. --------------------------------------------
Sur le buzzer c'est le dernier débat des GG du Sport ! Pile à temps pour s'écharper une dernière fois lors de l'émission…
Osma etapa kolesarske dirke po Španiji je presenetila slovensko in tudi svetovno javnost. Dobil jo je sicer Francoz Bryan Coquard, za katerega je to prva etapna zmaga na katerikoli od tritedenskih dirk. Vendar jo je zasenčil padec prvega kolesarja sveta in dotlej vodilnega v skupnem seštevku Tadeja Pogačarja. Po prvih informacijah si je zlomil ključnico, obenem pa je kazal tudi znake pretresa možganov. Nastope na Vuelti je končal.
Prvi kolesar sveta Tadej Pogačar je predčasno končal dirko po Španiji. Proti koncu današnje etape, ki jo je začel v rdeči majici, je padel in se poškodoval. Z reševalnim vozilom so ga odpeljali v bližnjo bolnišnico. V oddaji tudi: - Venezuela potrdila sklenitev obsežnega naftnega sporazuma z Združenimi državami Amerike. - Pred začetkom novega šolskega leta povečane prometne obremenitve po vsej državi. - Zaradi naraščajočih pritiskov turizma v Bovcu sklicali sestanek pristojnih ustanov.

El alcalde presidente de Ceuta, Juan Jesús Vivas, califica la crisis en la ciudad como un asunto de seguridad nacional. Vivas destaca la sólida convivencia entre culturas y exige un despliegue de medios sin precedentes para recuperar la normalidad. A su vez, el hostelero Hugo Ruiz relata la inseguridad y el parón económico que sufre la población, mientras cientos de vecinos se manifiestan en las calles contra la gestión de la delegación del Gobierno. En el Gobierno, el ministro Fernando Grande-Marlaska contradice a Margarita Robles al negar que existan informes del CNI previos a la entrada de migrantes. Además, el Ejecutivo aprueba tramitar cambios en la ley de extranjería y declara la situación de interés para la seguridad nacional. En la actualidad internacional y de sucesos, Donald Trump advierte a Irán sobre la navegación en el estrecho de Ormuz, y un incendio en Collserola obliga a confinar a miles de vecinos en el barrio barcelonés de Torre Baró.

Dans le briefing de Jérôme cette semaine, Jérôme Coppel appelle Tadej Pogacar à se lancer le challenge d'être champion du monde du contre-la-montre ! Après sa belle performance sur la première étape de la Vuelta, notre spécialiste du chrono le sent capable de réaliser l'exploit de battre Remco Evenepoel sur les championnats du monde.

Sur le buzzer c'est le dernier débat des GG du Sport ! Pile à temps pour s'écharper une dernière fois lors de l'émission…
Pregled dnevnega dogajanja začenjamo na ulicah Monaka, kjer je Tadej Pogačar z zmago že po prvi etapi oblekel rdečo majico vodilnega na dirki po Španiji. Na tehnično zahtevni, a kratki progi je v vožnji na čas za vsega devet stoting premagal najbližjega zasledovalca.
A la veille du début de la Vuelta 2026, il est l'un des hommes les plus importants de ce Grand Tour. Coéquipier de Tadej Pogacar, Pavel Sivakov nourrit tout de même des ambitions personnelles sous les couleurs de l'UAE Team Emirates. Qu'est-ce que ça fait de courir avec Pogacar ? Quelles différences entre être un très bon coureur et être un très bon coéquipier ? Quelle ambition personnelle ? Toujours de l'excitation avant un Grand Tour ? Il est l'invité de l'Intégrale Sport.
The Vuelta a España is almost here, and there's no great mystery over the favourite. Tadej Pogačar arrives as the overwhelming man to beat, with the real question being who can join him on the podium. Ned Boulting, Lizzie Deignan and Pete Kennaugh look ahead to this year's Vuelta, discussing Pogačar's dominance, the riders who could challenge for second and third, the parcours and the stages that could shape the race. They also look ahead to the Women's Tour of Britain, with Lizzie drawing on her own experience of racing the event, while the trio discuss the riders, route and storylines to watch this year. Who will take the remaining podium places behind Pogačar? Which stages could prove decisive? And what can we expect from this year's Women's Tour of Britain? All that and more on For The Love Of Cycling. ______________________________________________________________

Five time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogačar looks unbeatable. In this episode, David Millar and Ned Boulting give you the definitive origins story of potentially the greatest rider of all time.
Hablamos en Londres con el politólogo peruano Gonzalo Banda del University College London; en Bogotá con el meteorólogo Christian Euscátegui, y en París con el periodista del diario madrileño "El Mundo" Lucas Sáez-Bravo
Đường đua Tour de France ghi dấu lịch sử khi Tadej Pogacar chinh phục chức vô địch thứ 5 để chạm tay vào ngôi đền huyền thoại. Trong khi một kịch bản đầy đắng ngắt xảy ra với tay đua người Úc Oscar Piastri tại F1 Hungary. Cùng lúc đó, thị trường chuyển nhượng bóng đá Anh bùng nổ "cơn ngáo giá" hàng trăm triệu bảng, còn trên đài quyền anh hạng nặng, Anthony Joshua lại vừa trải qua 20 giây thót tim đầy ngỡ ngàng.
Najboljši kolesar sveta Tadej Pogačar je tudi na letošnji najbolj prepoznavni dirki na svetu, francoskem Touru potrdil, da mu ni para. Peto zmago je v skupnem seštevku osvojil z najvišjo prednostjo in se pridružil elitni družbi na vrhu večne lestvice. V oddaji tudi o tem: - Premor v ameriških napadih na Iran cene nafte potisnil navzdol - V Franciji gozdni požar že tik pred Bordeauxom, v Španiji zdaj ognjeni pekel še pri Valenciji - Na ljubljanski infekcijski kliniki brezplačno testiranje na hepatitis. Večina se okužbe ne zaveda
Tadej Pogačar je v velikem slogu še petič osvojil Dirko po Franciji. Novinarja Toni Gruden in Slavko Jerič sta s tem končala 8. sezono podkasta, vabljeni k poslušanju!
Stefan en Laurens gaan verder. En ze zijn hyped. Geef ze eens ongelijk. Het was een 21ste etappe met alles erop en eraan. De heren doorlopen de koers van begin tot eind. Inclusief het droomgroepje Tadej, Mathieu, Remco en Mads en 14 man van Decathlon CMA CGM die daar achteraan jaagde. Uiteindelijk, de last men standing: Pogacar en Van der Poel. En het eindigt “in de mooiste 400 meter uit het cyclisme,” aldus Stefan. Wat. Een Dag. Alle appgroepen ontploft, iedereen op de banken. How bad does he want it? Nou, behoorlijk bad. Uiteraard worden de overige dossiers ook nog op tafel gelegd: van Seixas en Mads naar Pogacar, en laten we vooral Philipsen ook niet vergeten. De 113e Ronde van Frankrijk eindigt in een apotheose. Een voor in de boeken.En hoe zit het nou met Mathieu in de foetushouding? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.
Richard Carapaz produced a stunning ride to win the Tour de France's ultimate queen stage on Alpe d'Huez, completing a brilliant final week by taking his second victory of the race and sealing the polka-dot jersey. But the Ecuadorian's triumph came after a dramatic finale, with Sepp Kuss looking destined for a famous stage win before crashing twice on the descent into the finish and seeing his hopes disappear. We break down a brutal day in the Alps, from the huge 5,600 metres of climbing to the battle for the breakaway, as Kuss, Carapaz, Jai Hindley and others fought for the stage victory on the final climbs. After Kuss' heartbreak, Carapaz seized the opportunity and powered clear to claim a memorable win on one of the Tour's most iconic climbs. Mads Pedersen once again showed his trademark panache, fighting his way into the breakaway and securing the points needed to all but seal the green jersey. The Dane's willingness to attack even on the toughest mountain stages underlined one of the most impressive points-classification rides in recent Tour history. Behind, Tadej Pogačar swapped his usual attacking role for that of super-domestique, setting the pace on the Galibier and the final climbs to protect UAE Team Emirates-XRG teammate Isaac Del Toro's third place on GC. The yellow jersey sacrificed his own ambitions of another stage win to help his teammate, creating one of the most fascinating moments of the race. We also discuss Paul Seixas' superb ride to defend fourth place overall, the French teenager continuing to announce himself as one of cycling's brightest future stars, while Remco Evenepoel launched a late move in search of victory and strengthened his grip on second place. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan Breakdown Stage 20 of the Tour de France 2026.
Stefan, Laurens en Johnny gaan verder. De mannen hebben een zware ochtend na hun lange dag feest op de Alpe d'Huez - de studenten praten na. Het record van Pantani wordt nog een keer aangehaald en over Tadej zijn ze duidelijk: het is een resultaat van de vooruitgang, een exceptioneel talent. Op de agenda vandaag een experiment qua parcours, een soort Marmotte alternatief. De Télégraphe, de Galibier, een staartje Alpe d'Huez… de renners kunnen zich opmaken voor de laatste zware dag van de Tour. En nu hopen dat Tadej voor de witte trui van Isaac wil gaan rijden, zodat we wellicht een iets spannender koersverloop krijgen. Wint er een klassementsman? Of krijgen we een wedstrijd in een wedstrijd? We gaan het allemaal beleven vandaag. Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.

Stage 14 of the 2026 Tour de France was the kind of day that felt decided before the racing had even begun. A brutal mountain stage from Mulhouse to Le Markstein Fellering, covering 155.3km with 3,800 metres of climbing, was always going to be a major test for the GC contenders. Before the stage, Tadej Pogačar was asked how UAE Team Emirates would approach the day. His answer was simple: "the guys know what to do." It was a quote that carried a sense of inevitability, a reminder that everyone knew what was coming, and there's nothing they can do about it. Chapeau to Tobias Halland Johannessen and Richard Carapaz for making it as far as they could up the final climb, the Col du Haag, but they got swept up by the GC big hitters in the end. But when the decisive moments arrived, Pogačar once again showed why he is the dominant force of this Tour. When he made his move, nobody could follow, and he rode to his 25th Tour de France stage victory and his fourth win of the 2026 race. Behind him, the battle for the podium is becoming one of the most exciting stories of the Tour. Jonas Vingegaard, Paul Seixas, Remco Evenepoel, Florian Lipowitz, Juan Ayuso and Isaac Del Toro are separated by small margins, and second place is looking far less secure than it did earlier in the race. We also ask what is happening at Netcompany-INEOS. A team with such a strong Tour de France history has struggled to make a significant impact this year, why have they been unable to influence the race? Ned Boulting and David Millar break down Stage 14 of the Tour de France 2026.
Stefan en Laurens gaan verder. Nieuwe rit, nieuwe kansen. Het beloofd een prachtige dag te worden: niet alleen voor de koers (want: mytisch en loodzwaar) maar ook voor Stefan en Laurens als toeschouwers. Want er gaat eindelijk weer koers gekeken worden ‘in het echie'. Generale voor de Alpe h'Huez. Veel vragen, nog weinig antwoorden: Wie gaat er demarreren? Gaat Visma | Lease a Bike nog wel echt steeds voor de Tour winst? Wat moet de tactiek van de Killer Bees worden en wat absoluut niet? Gaat er een vlucht komen? Hoe vecht je als ploeg tegen de pk's van UAE?En hoe zat het nou met Tadej die wat glazig voor zich uitkeek? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.
Stefan, Laurens en Thomas gaan verder. Op papier zou dit de kortste voorbeschouwing kunnen worden, want we hebben alle reden om aan te nemen dat het een sprint wordt. Hoge gemiddelde snelheid, korte rit, spanning in de laatste kilometers. “Het wordt een halve rustdag voor een groot deel van het peloton,” aldus de heren. Hoe is het herstelvermogen van Tim Merlier? En zal Philipsen de hoge snelheid kunnen halen die nodig is om als eerste over de meet te komen?En hoe zit het nou met ‘de witte shit'? Je hoort het allemaal in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.
Stage 10 of the 2026 Tour de France marked the race's return from the first rest day with a 166.6km mountain stage from Aurillac to Le Lioran on Bastille Day. Featuring nearly 3,800 metres of climbing through the Massif Central, it was always expected to test the general classification contenders and once again, Tadej Pogačar delivered exactly what everyone had been anticipating. When Pogačar attacked on the Col de Pertus, what unfolded was a narrative that we've all seen before, many times. Nobody could follow, and Pogačar swallowed up Richard Carapaz, who lead the race, with no problem at all. Jonas Vingegaard once again was the best of the race, but for the first time in a long time, looked very much amongst the rest. Is his nailed on 2nd place in doubt? With the likes of Remco Evenepoel and the other GC contenders closing the gap, the battle for the remaining podium places is still very much alive, even if the fight for yellow is beginning to look increasingly one-sided. With the likes of Jonas Vingegaard, Remco Evenepoel, Isaac Del Toro and Paul Seixas fighting behind- there's still plenty to play for. We also chat to Rob Gitelis, founder of Factor, who's riding the entire route of the Tour de France a week early for Cure Leukaemia, as part of the Tour 21 charity challenge. Support Rob's Tour 21 challenge for Cure Leukaemia here: https://eu.factorbikes.com/news/rob-gitelis-tour-21 Every donation is being matched by Factor, doubling your impact. Ned Boulting and David Millar breakdown Stage 10 of the Tour de France 2026. _______________________________________________________________
Stefan, Laurens en Thomas gaan verder. Op dé Franse feestdag was het iets meer feest voor Thomas en iets minder voor Laurens en Stefan. Want die laatste twee hebben het niet zo met de Vogezen. De mannen bespreken het koersverloop van deze 10e etappe van begin tot einde. El Chapo die alle registers opentrekt, Pascal en Merlier die nét op tijd binnen zijn, Yates, Vingegaard, Del Toro, Piganzoli… Alle mannen die de koers kleurden komen aan bod. En laten we vooral Evenepoel niet vergeten, want wat heeft die man gevochten. Tussen hem en Lipowitz gaat het nog spannend worden wanneer het peloton richting het hooggebergte trekt. En, oh ja, Tadej won.En hoe zit het nou met dat atypische schouwspel rond Prudhomme? Je hoort het allemaal (en nog veel, veel meer) in de Live Slow Ride Fast podcast.
Tadej Pogačar and UAE Team Emirates have asserted total dominance in the first week of the Tour. We analyze whether Pogačar's dominance is good for the sport or if it's removing the suspense from racing. Plus, we round up incredible stage wins from Mathieu van der Poel and Tim Merlier, and bring you the results from the Tour of Austria.
Stage 6 of the 2026 Tour de France took the riders over the Col du Tourmalet, the climb that has featured more times than any other in the history of the race, and for good reason - it delivers days like this. As the Tour's first major mountain stage, it was always likely to shape the general classification, and it did exactly that. Torstein Træen started the day with a lead of almost eight minutes, but there was never any real doubt that Tadej Pogačar had his sights set on the stage and the maillot jaune. Isaac Del Toro set a blistering pace while he could, but it wasn't long before Pogačar launched his trademark acceleration, even if this time it was earlier than usual. One by one, the competition cracked. Jonas Vingegaard was the only rider able to respond initially, but even he eventually let the gap grow to 30 seconds over the summit and more than a minute by the end of the descent. Pogačar wasn't finished there. He attacked the descent with the same aggression, extending his advantage all the way to the finish to take the stage, reclaim the yellow jersey, and put more than 2 minutes 30 seconds into his biggest rival and the rest. Ned Boulting and David Millar break down Stage 6 of the Tour de France 2026

Pogačar went at the 42.7km mark — Del Toro went with him, did a turn, then cracked human — and from there it was just Tadej riding away to a 2:40 stage win and the yellow jersey. But the real drama wasn't even the stage win. Remco Evenepoel stopped for a nature break, got dropped, had to chase back on — and then used the press conference to publicly rinse teammate Florian Lipowitz for not doing a one-K leadout back in Catalunya, months after the fact. Meanwhile Lipowitz quietly had one of his best days in ages, matching Pogačar and Del Toro's pace up the Tourmalet — so who's actually in the right here? We break down the team tension, the brutal end to Torstein Træen's day in yellow (crash, concussion questions and all), Ben O'Connor's early move, and Huub Artz's handlebar saga (spoiler: no fine, just a very public argument). Plus — we look ahead to tomorrow's pancake sprint into Bordeaux, who our on-the-ground sources say might actually have calm conditions (despite what the previews are saying), and hand out today's prize winners.
3e étape du Tour ce lundi et première étape de montagne. Après avoir quitté l'Espagne, les coureurs ont retrouvé les Pyrénées. Et malgré une belle échappée de deux Français, Alex Baudin et Nicolas Prodhomme, à l'arrivée c'est bien une explication entre favoris qui a lieu. Et à ce jeu là, comme souvent, c'est Tadej Pogacar qui est le plus fort. Le Slovène s'impose devant Jonas Vingegaard, Richard Carapaz et Paul Seixas. Trop court, Remco Evenepoel n'a pas réussi à suivre le tempo imposé par le leader la team UAE.
Today on the show: After Visma laid down the gauntlet with their TTT win, UAE delivered the sort of response we've somehow grown used to. With Isaac del Toro taking a stage win part-gifted by Tadej Pogačar, with both riders looking ominous already.If you want to get Golden Hour and After Dark for the rest of the month, then Spin Cycle listeners get 25% off when you sign up for Escape Collective here.Already a member?

Lance, Johan, George, Sir Bradley and Spencer Martin break down the 2026 Tour de France, which kicks off tomorrow in Barcelona with a team time trial. They discuss the format's return to the race, how it will affect the overall battle, and what it means for intra-team dynamics. They also dig into yet another GC showdown between Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogačar, and whether one of the younger stars, like Paul Seixas or Isaac del Toro, can break up the duopoly, and what it means for the country of France to finally have a top GC star in their home race.

Con motivo del inicio del Tour de Francia, Luis Rendueles, Manu Marlasca y Jorge Abad abordan un caso que trasciende el ciclismo y se adentra en la investigación policial. Los periodistas relatan la desaparición de Julija Pogacar, prima del ciclista Tadej Pogačar, quien fue sacada de Eslovenia por su madre cuando tenía diez años y cuyo paradero podría encontrarse en España. La investigación, en la que participan la UFAM y el grupo de sectas destructivas de la Policía Nacional, sigue la pista de una presunta organización liderada por la gurú eslovena Lana Praner. El padre de la menor, Peter Pogacar, lleva casi cinco años buscándola con el apoyo de la asociación AFISE y sostiene que tanto su exmujer como su hija fueron captadas por este grupo, que promovía creencias conspirativas y el aislamiento de sus seguidores.

All eyes were on one rider going into the Dauphine 2026 (or Tour Auvergne Rhône-Alpes 2026). By the time it was over, the actual winner has us wondering why on earth we hadn't always known he'd win. Ned Boulting, David Millar and Pete Kennaugh break down every stage of what turned out to be one of the most revealing weeks of racing before the Tour de France. Pete was on the ground as a DS, and gives us the inside scoop on what it was like from the best seat in the house. The race might've left us with more questions than answers when it comes to the Tour de France in July: Is Paul Seixas ready for the pressure of being France's next Tour winner? Is Isaac Del Toro's a GC contender for the Tour himself, or is he purely there in services of Tadej Pogacar? And why is Pete in a river? Oh, and it's Pete's birthday!
