Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift delivered the first major mountain battle of the race, with relentless climbing from the start. Puck Pieterse dominated the Queen of the Mountains competition, while the general classification fight exploded on the final climbs. Demi Vollering's decisive attack on the Mont Brouilly split the favourites before she, Marlen Reusser and Katarzyna Niewiadoma-Phinney battled all the way to Belleville-en-Beaujolais. Vollering sprinted to the stage win, while Reusser held on to the Yellow Jersey and tightened the fight for the overall lead. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 5 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

Stage 4 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift saw the riders take on a crucial 21km individual time trial from Gévrey-Chambertin to Dijon. After Sigrid Haugset's stunning solo victory the day before, all eyes were on whether she could defend the Yellow Jersey against the race's strongest time trial specialists. Marlen Reusser lived up to her status as the reigning world champion, producing a dominant ride to win the stage and take over the overall lead. Demi Vollering delivered an impressive performance to finish just 18 seconds behind Reusser, while Haugset fought hard but lost more than three minutes to surrender the race lead. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 4 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

Stage 3 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift exploded into life with attacks from the opening kilometres. Lucinda Brand was among the first to go on the offensive before a powerful 10-rider breakaway formed featuring Lotte Kopecky, Liane Lippert, Lucinda Brand and several other big names. Kopecky later launched a solo attack with 76km remaining, but it was Norwegian champion Sigrid Haugset who held the race in her hands, leading the road and putting herself in contention for both the stage victory and the Yellow Jersey. We also cover the key moments from the day, including attacks from Lippert and Adegeest, Demi Vollering's crash, Dina Boels' abandonment, and how the battle unfolded heading into the final climbs. Ned Boulting and Lizzie Deignan break down Stage 3 of the Tour de France Femmes. _______________________________________________________________

In this reflective analysis, we recount a transformative summer in 1983 spent cycling through France's Charente-Maritime region. While training on a borrowed Motobécane, Patrick navigated vast sunflower fields and shared lighthearted meals with family members who teased him about his Tour de France ambitions.

Rewind to 30 July–5 August 2006, when The Terminator went green, YouTube discovered the secret to going viral and one of sport's greatest victories started falling apart almost as quickly as it happened.

Send us Fan MailA single late attack can win a Tour de France stage, but a wave of illness can threaten an entire campaign. After an Alpine Stage 18 packed with climbing and chaos, we break down how Richard Carapaz nailed the timing on the final climb, cracked the day wide open, and rode away to a statement win. We also talk through why the GC group looked unusually conservative, and what it means when the top contenders choose patience over panic with only a few days left.Then the conversation shifts to the real drama brewing inside UAE Team Emirates. We unpack the stomach and flu-like issues affecting key riders, including Brandon McNulty's difficult day and eventual abandon, plus Tim Wellens fighting just to stay inside the time limit. That becomes the perfect launching point to explain Tour de France team tactics in plain language: why domestiques matter, how leaders get protected, and what a “strong rider on paper” loses when the support network starts disappearing.We wrap by looking ahead to Stage 19 and the legendary Alpe d'Huez: a shorter, more explosive day where attacks can fly and pacing mistakes get punished in every hairpin. We also clarify the OTL outside the time limit rule and how officials can apply discretion when the race turns brutal.

Send us Fan MailTwo minutes and 42 seconds can feel like a wall, right up until the Tour de France reminds you it's paper thin. We take the Tour de France 2026 rest day to reset the race: where the general classification stands, how the first nine stages actually played out, and why the yellow jersey fight between Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard still has plenty of room to turn. We walk through the opening stretch from the Barcelona start, including the early time trial impact, the first real mountain separation, and how brutal heat has already shaped tactics, recovery, and even stage design. Then we dig into the practical question every fan is asking: what does it really take to find 2:42 in the mountains, and how quickly can that gap disappear without any “catastrophe”? Along the way, we check in on the other Tour de France classifications, including the green jersey points race, the polka dot climbing competition, and the white jersey battle that's tighter than it looks on paper. We also preview Stage 10 on Bastille Day, when French riders traditionally go hunting for the breakaway and the whole peloton races with a little extra emotion. Expect Tour lore, a few fun local details, and what we're watching for as the race ramps back up. Plus: community messages, a RAGBRAI meetup invite, and a ridiculous donut-fueled racing debate that somehow belongs in a cycling podcast. If you're enjoying these daily Tour de France recaps, subscribe, share the show with a cycling friend, and leave a quick review so more listeners can find us.Support the showAdam and Michael's friendship has grown through years of shared miles, challenges, and laughter on the bike.

July 5, 2026 is a special date. It will mark 40 years since a Canadian, Coquitlam, B.C.'s Alex Stieda, went on an audacious breakaway and secured the yellow jersey. For a brief moment, Stieda led the Tour de France. He was the first Canadian as well as the first male North American to do so. This episode of the Canadian Cycling Magazine Podcast features a close look at Stieda's historic ride. The discussion starts with his early years in cycling. (“What? Were you bad at hockey?”) In 1980, he won the Tour de l'Abitibi. He took the bronze medal in individual pursuit at the 1982 Commonwealth Games in Australia. Then it was on to the 1984 L.A. Olympics for track cycling. By 1986, he had turned pro. That year, his team, the groundbreaking U.S. outfit 7-Eleven, got an invitation to the Tour de France. For the first official stage of the event, Stieda cooked up a plan that he kept mostly to himself. Find out, from the Canadian Cycling Hall of Famer himself, how it all went down.

Jesse brings a unique lens as both a former competitor and current voice of the sport, offering insight into the pressure, strategy, and evolution of today's CT field with sharp takes, behind-the-scenes perspective, and a deeper look at who's rising, who's slipping, and what it all means moving forward on tour.

Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by MAAP   Guys, get yourselves ready, this is a banger of an ep. I got to sit down with the man himself, the Sweendog. The 16 Wheeler. Sweet 16. Harry Sweeny He's one of the strongest riders in the pelo right now. They don't call him ‘The Truck' for nothing.   I spoke to Harry in person over in Adelaide at this year's Tour Down Under and picked his brains about everything from his journey into the sport, his transition from Lotto to EF Education Easypost, how his neurodiversity makes him a better bike racer, and heaps more.    Harry's a super interesting guy. He's a consummate professional and leaves no stone unturned in his hunt for being the best athlete he can be. Hearing Sweendog talk through how he prepares for every single race, and the level of detail with which he plans every gel, every corner, every meter of road covered really opened my eyes as to how hard he works.   Up until this point, Harry's cut his teeth in the bunch riding as a domestique; turning himself inside out for team mates to great success - pulling guys like Ben Healy to monument podiums and the Yellow Jersey at the Tour de France. But, after a conversation with his team boss Jonathan Vaughters, Harry's finding the confidence to ride for himself and show how strong he can be. As JV put it, ‘being 10% more of an arsehole'.   Not long after we recorded, Harry's efforts were rewarded with an absolutely stellar podium finish at the Tour Down Under - his first World Tour GC Podium. It's a fantastic result, and - I think - marks a real shift in focus; he knows he's got the engine to go toe-to-toe with the big guys, and now he's proved it out there on the road.    I loved chatting to Harry, and I hope you guys enjoy listening to one of the most hard working, enthusiastic pros out there.    Prefer to watch along? This episode's up on our YouTube channel too.

Send us a textTadej Pogačar, already four stage wins to the good this year and chasing his fourth Tour de France title at the age of just 26, is busy cementing his status as one of cycling's greatest ever riders, with yet another dominant, cannibal-esque performance at the sport's biggest race.But is Pogačar's relentless dominance hurting the race? And is he just too good? That's the big debate featured on the latest episode of the road.cc Podcast, where Ryan is in the Pyrenees following the Slovenian's exploits this week.Ryan also chats with one of the big stars of the first two weeks of the Tour, Ben Healy, whose swashbuckling, attacking displays were rewarded with a stage win and two days in the yellow jersey. After relinquishing yellow on Hautacam, Healy reflected on his spell leading the Tour and why he's looking forward to getting back to doing what he does best: attacking.

This is a short excerpt from the longer episode. To listen to the whole thing and future episodes become a member of The Pelo. It's finally here! The Big Show! The Tour de France. The biggest bike race in the world is about to kick off, and to celebrate the spectacle Svein and I are talking all about Grand Tours on this week's Chronicles.  21 stages of racing over 3 weeks with millions of eyes watching; Grand Tours are the toughest races in cycling. Between myself and Svein, we've been on the start of 21 Grand Tours! Although I never made it to Le Tour, I did a handful of Vueltas and a couple of Giros, too - so I've got a pretty good idea of what it takes to suffer around a country for the best part of a month. Sveino and I wanted to share our own experiences of racing Grand Tours throughout our own careers, but I also wanted to draw on some riders from earlier generations to see how much they've changed over the years.  I wanted to speak to someone who has seen what it's like at the front of a Grand Tour first hand, so first up I chatted to an Aussie legend; Phil Anderson. Phil turned pro in 1980 with team Peugeot and spent a day in the Yellow Jersey in his first Tour de France! The next year he finished 5th overall, bagged himself a stage win, spent 9 stages wearing the leader's jersey, and went home with the White Jersey for the best young rider! He went on to finish in the top 10 for 5 years in a row, and completed 13 Tours de France over a 15 year career.  It's safe to say there aren't many people out there with more experience than Phil. We chatted about racing Grand Tours in the 1980s and 90s, and I was surprised to hear how much more relaxed it was back then. Next, I spoke to Stuart O'Grady. Stuey's a rider I really look up to, and his career was just winding down as mine was kicking off. I was even lucky enough to call him a team mate for a year on Greenedge in 2013. O'Grady won 2 road stages of the Tour, and 2 more in the Team Time Trial but, as a Sprinter, he had to spend the rest of the time muscling over mountains to make time cut.  Svein and I also chat about our own experiences. From the stress and excitement of our Grand Tour debuts, to the moment it all ‘clicked' and we figured out how to get the most out of a ‘grandie'. The sanctuary of the team bus, the chaos of traveling around for a month as a small part of a big rolling circus, finding the best cannoli and parmesan in Italy or the best jamón in Spain, and heaps more.  This ep is packed full of stories, and I loved reliving some great memories with my old mate. Get yourself in the mood for Le Tour and give this a listen!  Cheers! Mitch

Episode 106Getting your first bicycle as a kid is an exhilarating experience that brings with it a newfound sense of freedom. It's a rite of passage, a gateway to exploration, and a symbol of independence. The moment you lay eyes on that shiny two-wheeled wonder, your world suddenly expands, and the possibilities seem endless.With a bicycle, you break free from the limitations of your own two feet. You're no longer confined to the boundaries of your immediate neighborhood or the distance you can cover by walking. Suddenly, the entire world becomes accessible, or at least the parts that can be reached on two wheels. Every street, every park, every hidden corner becomes an adventure waiting to unfold.Music:Red Hot Chilli Peppers - The Bicycle SongDaft Punk - AerodynamicSupport the showwww.justpassingthroughpodcast.comInsta:justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.com

Lance, JB, and George break down the opening stage of the 2023 Tour de France, which started off with a bang and saw Adam and Simon Yates make history by upsetting the pre-stage favorites and going 1-2 on the stage. The win, which put Adam Yates in the first Yellow Jersey of the 2023 edition, signaled that he and his UAE teammate, Tadej Pogačar, came into this race ready to take the race to the defending champion Jonas Vingegaard and his strong Jumbo-Visma squad. The crew also discusses how the day saw two GC hopes of two pre-race contenders, Enric Mas, and Richard Carapaz, go up in flames due to ill-timed crashes late in the stage, who the remaining top overall podium contenders are, and how Mark Cavendish looked strong despite the challenging parcours, before previewing tomorrow's stage 2.

As well as becoming Elite European champion, Lorena won 3 stages of The Women's Tour, 4 stages of the Baloise Ladies Tour and the General Classification in the Simac Ladies Tour.Lorena now rides for Team SD Worx and has already started her season well with a stage win and a 2nd at the Women's UAE Tour.I'm so grateful to Lorena for taking the time to chat with me and can't wait to watch her racing again this season. Photo used with thanks to Team SD WorxThank you so much for listening and supporting me and my podcast. Find all episodes of Cycling Talk Podcast wherever you get your podcasts from.You can also follow me on social media:Instagram - https://instagram.com/cycling.talk.podcastGCN app - https://gcn.social/cyclingtalkI'm also on Facebook and Twitter.Thanks for listening!See You on the BikeSupport the show

It's a rest day at the Tour de France and Brad is joined by Matt and Bernie ahead of Stage 10 on Monday.The gang review the first full week of the Tour, and the first topic of discussion is race leader Tadej Pogacar - who, despite being a two-time winner, Brad believes doesn't fully use the strength and power that having the yellow jersey confers.Brad says the young Slovenian "doesn't realise his status in the sport" and reflects on his own experiences when leading the greatest race in the world in 2012, and the power attached to the famous jersey in terms of dictating the terms of the race.Brad also says Pogacar arguably lacks the road captains to make the difference, recalling the time that Michael Rogers took a decision on his behalf in 2012 to ensure Team Sky abandoned a chase of a breakaway in order to focus on GC, a decision which did not amuse Mark Cavendish...Geraint Thomas is still nicely placed in GC and Bernie says the projected hot temperatures over the next week could favour G, having kept his powder dry thus far. Brad says he's never seen his former team-mate so relaxed.There's discussions on Tom Pidcock, Primoz Roglic and predictions on what is still to come. And the three discuss the moments watching the Tour as a child which made them want to be a professional cyclist. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

George Hincapie is one of the most recognized professional cyclists in the world. Seventeen time Tour de France veteran,  four time Olympian and one of only four Americans ever  to wear the Yellow Jersey.
