Lance, George, Sir Bradley Wiggins, and Spencer Martin (aka “The Professor”) break down Ben O'Connor's incredible ride to win the Queen Stage of the 2025 Tour de France atop the Col de la Loze, finishing ahead of the lead GC group, which was led in by Tadej Pogačar, with the race leader continuing to extend his advantage over Jonas Vingegaard after yet another day in which Visma-Lease a Bike's tactics failed to put meaningful pressure on his comfortable lead.

Eliot isn't letting him forget it either… but this time he has brought backup. To give Rob the motivation he needs to make it to the summit, Eliot reached out to some absolute legends of cycling and former Just Ride guests – Geraint Thomas, Tom Pidcock, Jolanda Neff, Finn Iles, and Olly Wilkins – and got their thoughts, encouragement, and, of course, some quality roasting. The pressure is on now, there's no turning back. Can Rob finally conquer this mountain? The experts have a range of differing answers to that question, but what do you guys think? Rob vs Mont Ventoux: THE REMATCH coming soon... Let us know how you think Rob will do, or send him any advice, by emailing justride@redbull.com.

Just one day after crossing the finish line in Rome to complete the 2025 Giro d'Italia, Tom Pidcock sat down with us in Salzburg for an honest, revealing conversation about the pressures, decisions, and ambitions that shape life at the very top of the sport. From the chaos of a three-week Grand Tour to the calm of a podcast studio, this episode captures a rare moment of reflection from one of the most versatile and compelling riders in cycling today. We delve into Tom's decision to leave Ineos Grenadiers and join Q36.5 - a move that made headlines across the road cycling world. The conversation also dives deep into his Olympic journey, with Tom reflecting on the incredible achievement of winning back-to-back gold medals in mountain biking and what it would take to return for a third shot at LA 2028. We also unpack THAT move at the 2024 Paris Games that secured him gold against French favourite, Victor Kortetsky. But this isn't just about wins and podiums. We also explore Tom's love for MTB and the sacrifices that must be made to be competitive in every discipline. We dive into what it actually takes to ride general classification in a Grand Tour, the mental battle of staying focused for 21 days straight, the sacrifices required to chase time on the world's biggest stages, and the emotional highs and lows that come with trying to hold it all together under immense pressure. Whether you're a fan of road racing, mountain biking, or simply fascinated by the psychology of elite athletes, this episode offers a rare look into the mindset of a rider who's redefining what it means to be a modern cyclist. Tom Pidcock's story is still unfolding, and this chapter is one you won't want to miss.

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.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP If there's one thing the Race Radio boys love more than a pun, a pint, or podcasting, it's the Giro d'Italia. The passion, the culture, and - of course - the racing; does it get any better?! It's a Giro special episode this month, and boy do these guys deliver. The Giro is generally regarded as the fan-favourite of all the grandys, and that's exactly what Harry & Stu are; super fans. In true Giro fashion, the race has started with a bang over in Albania. We've already seen some amazing wins, some unfortunate early departures, and more excitement than you can shake an arancini at. The boys wrap up all the action so far, talk about some of the main characters of this year's race, and - as always - tell the stories you won't hear anywhere else. The Giro is a race that Harry & Stu have spent a fair bit of time at over the years, so they've got some cracking stories to tell. Here's what the boys had to say about this month's episode of Life In The Peloton's Race Radio: “We love ‘grand tour season' here at LITP's Race Radio, and in this week's ep we celebrate the grande partenza of the Giro d'Italia. We discuss the Lidl-Trek love-in, Josh Tarling's amorous post-stage antics, before lamenting the heartbreaking loss of Mikel Landa. There's a ‘tourism' section starring man of culture Tom Pidcock, and we reminisce about our own grand tourism at the Giro a few years back before pro cycling photographer Zac Williams sends us a voice note from the race. Finishing off with a review of two great races also on, Tro Bro Leon and the Vuelta Femenina, this show is amore infinito from start to finish!” I only started the Giro twice, and only reached the finish once, but I absolutely love it. It marks the start of Grand Tour season, and I love being able to follow the story of the race over nearly a whole month. The Giro is a race defined by the Tifosi - the fans - whether that's on the roadside, watching on the TV at home, or being pumped directly into your ears in this month's Race Radio. Pull yourself a shot of espresso, pour yourself a crisp Italian lager, order a pizza; whatever you need to do to get into the Italian spirit - and enjoy this month's Race Radio. Ciao, Mitch
Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin break down Mads Pedersen's ride to win Stage 3 of the Giro and retake the race lead before diving into a few of the day's tactics, like Redbull-Bora-hansgrohe and Lidl-Trek sharing pacesetting duties, and how Lidl-Trek made it so difficult for any other teams to attack or disrupt their plan inside the difficult final 50 kilometers.

And, before they take off, they dive into XDS-Astana's incredible recent points haul, what it means for their potential future as a WorldTour team, and how it could spell major trouble for a current incumbent.

Lance, George, and Johan break down Tadej Pogačar's statement win at today's 2025 edition of Flèche Wallonne, which saw him take a dominant victory over Kévin Vauquelin and Tom Pidcock after surging clear on the uber-steep Mur de Huy following a hard day of racing in wet and rainy conditions. The group talks about the key moments of the race, how Pogačar could potentially be winning at an even greater rate if he continues to race with the level of maturity and restraint he showed today, and what this means for Sunday's looming clash between Remco Evenepoel, Pidcock, and Pogačar at Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

George, Johan, and Spencer break down Mathieu van der Poel's stunning win at Paris-Roubaix, his third consecutive title at the brutal race, over race-debutant Tadej Pogačar and Mads Pedersen. The crew discusses the key moments of the race, where Van der Poel's win puts him amongst the all-time cobbled greats, how Pogačar's runner-up stacks up against other GC contenders' showings on the rough roads of northern France, and what Wout van Aert and Visma-Lease a Bike can take away from the race after missing out on the winning move.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin welcome on Sir Bradley Wiggins to break down Matteo Jorgenson's incredible performance to win his second-consecutive Paris-Nice title and UAE's Juan Ayuso's overall win at Tirreno-Adriatico. They analyze Magnus Sheffield's masterclass on the treacherous final stage in Nice, Filippo Ganna's surprising climbing prowess and Jonathan Milan's dominance in the sprints in Italy. Plus, they debate what these performances signal for the season ahead—who's primed for Milan-Sanremo, Jorgenson's potential as a future Tour de France contender, and whether we're witnessing a shift in the sport's power dynamics.

Bike racing is back! With the UAE Tour and Volta in the rearview mirror, it's time to jump feet first into what looks to be an epic Classics season that kicked off with Omloop and Kuurne-Brussel-Kuurne. Then, it was off to the rolling white roads of Italy's Chianti region for the Strade Bianche, where the women's race climaxed with a duel between Demi Vollering and Anna van der Breggen up the steep final wall better known as Via Santa Caterina. And if you were watching the men's race and waiting to see if Tadej Pogačar could best last year's 80km solo breakaway for victory, he did exactly that but in a very different way, overcoming what looked like a serious crash to notch up his third Strade victory. Today's podcast sees Mike Levy chat with Andrew Hood and Jim Cotton about what makes the Classics so special, how Pogačar could win Milano-Sanremo, and why more people need to think like Tom Pidcock.
Lionel Birnie, Rob Hatch and Brian Nygaard recap Strade Bianche, where Tadej Pogačar recovered from a crash, picked himself up from the adjacent field and still managed to see off a spirited challenge from Tom Pidcock. We ask whether Pidcock should have waited – and whether, indeed, waiting was what he did – and discuss what the rest of the peloton can do to stop Pogačar when he's in such irrepressible mood. With the peloton split between two week-long stage races, Paris-Nice and Tirreno-Adriatico, this week we keep an eye on the likely storylines, including an aggressive start to the Race to the Sun.

Tadej Pogacar skrev sig påny ind i historiebøgerne med en dramatisk sejr i Strade Bianche, hvor verdensmesteren måtte en tur i grøften inden han kunne sætte en godt kørende Tom Pidcock på plads på de hvide veje i Toscana. Mads P, Jonas Vingegaard og Mattias Skjelmose er blandt danskerne i Paris-Nice, der startede i dag, mens en af de danske grushelte, Magnus Cort, fortsætter sit italienske eventyr i Tirreno Adriatico efter en flot sjetteplads i Strade Bianche.

Lance, George, and Johan break down Tadej Pogačar's utter dominance at Strade-Bianche, which took the peloton through the rolling hills and white gravel roads of Tuscany, and saw Pogačar ride clear of Tom Pidcock even after suffering a high-speed mid-race crash. The crew discuss how Pogačar recovered from his crash to dismantle his main rival over the dirt, and how anyone can hope to beat Pogačar through the rest of the spring calendar.

This week's Spin Cycle podcast opens with the news that Rabobank is returning as a sponsor for Visma-Lease a Bike, like a salmon returning a once-polluted river. Rabobank's history in the sport is long and somewhat sordid, and their departure due to doping scandals felt final. Well, now they're back. What does that mean? Then Caley, Jonny, and Dane preview the upcoming Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne races, analyzing route changes, potential contenders like Wout van Aert and Tom Pidcock, and the "Omloop curse." We touch on UAE's classics team and possible favorites for the races. Finally, we head into corrections corner.
We're coming towards the end of February, and the road racing season is well underway. Since we last recorded together on the eve of the Tour Down Under, we've had a whole heap of European racing in Spain, France, and Portugal, the UAE Tour, and more! Southam and Durbo join me once again to dissect the races, talk about the season ahead, and - of course - have a proper laugh in the Communi-quiz. A highlight of the last month for me has been seeing a really dominant start to the year from the young Brit, Tom Pidcock, at Alula Tour and Ruta Del Sol, which really vindicates his move to Q36.5 over the offie. But, if we're talking about dominance in races, we have to talk about UAE Team Emirates XRG. They have had a MONSTER start to the season, and not just from Pogi. Me and the boys talk about their insane roster that's going to have the rest of the bunch shaking in their boots all year long. Of course, the early season races are exciting, but they're only building tension for the real racing to kick off this weekend. That's right, guys, it's almost time for my favourite races: The Spring Classics. Opening weekend is right around the corner, and we discuss the upcoming classics season, as well as make a few cheeky predictions. Durbo's ‘Pelo Chat' dives right into the technical advancements in the bunch over the last few years. Skinsuits, tubeless tyres, aero positions on the road bikes, and absolutely MASSIVE chainrings. I thought I was pushing big gears with a 53 tooth chainring back in my pro days, but the 2025 Pelo has literally stepped up a gear. The bunch is getting faster and faster every year, so they need the gearing to keep up. One of Durbo's teammates is even trying out a 58 tooth chainring on their road bike! You'll have to listen to find out who. Tom's ‘Talking Tactics' segment takes a look at the UAE Tour and some…questionable decisions from Lotto and Lennert Van Eetvelt. Riding the front to boost the TSS, doing intervals on the erg after a hard stage, seriously - what were these guys thinking? It was great to hear Tom and Luke, who were both out there, dissect their tactics in the Middle East and give the Lotto boys a fair ribbing. Of course, it wouldn't be The Race Communiqué without the Communi-Quiz, and it's my turn to host. With the Welsh legend, Geraint Thomas, announcing his retirement at the end of 2025, I thought it would be a fitting send-off to have a G-themed quiz to test the boys' knowledge on one of the most versatile racers of his generation. This is a banger of an ep packed with some proper racing analysis, good old-fashioned tech chat, a whole heap of banter, and lots more. You're going to love it.

In this week's episode of Spin Cycle, Jonny Long breaks down his plan for the future of pro road cycling. National teams, a Classics Cup, a draft, and more. It's big, it's bold, it's almost certainly impossible, but it's a lot of fun to talk about.Plus, Thibau Nys and Mathieu van der Poel are going skiing, teams have to go to more races, and Tom Pidcock is a bit cheap.
Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch are back to recap all the latest stories and racing as the season swings into action in Europe. A little further afield, in the Middle East, Tom Pidcock was enjoying a rip-roaring start to life with his new team, Q36.5 – and we assess to what extent the Briton's victory there could set the tone for his season. We also look at the main takeaways from the GP Marseillaise, where teenage sensation Paul Seixas enjoyed a stunning debut for Décathlon-AG2R La Mondiale. And finally, at the other end of France, the world cyclo-cross championships took place in Liévin – and we hail a historic seventh rainbow jersey for Mathieu van der Poel.
