Huge week on Watts Occurring: We've got the one and only Quinn Simmons on the pod!
Quinn chats to the boys about the state of pro cycling in the US, his plans for 2026 and what it's like being in such a strong team with a rider like Mads Pedersen at the top.
We also dive into that stage of the Tour de France when Quinn found himself in a breakaway with Wout Van Aert, and how it made Quinn release just how good the big dogs are....

The boys have put their necks on the line to predict the winners of the biggest races in 2026, but there's a twist... they can only pick each rider once! (Sorry Pogi)

Do you agree (or strongly disagree) with the guys? Let's hear it! 👇

G's embracing retirement - by tackling parkrun! We know the loyal Watts Occurring listeners will enjoy hearing that story today.
There's also another Pogacar discussion, after you all reckoned G and Luke were slightly harsh last week. Can greatness ever really be boring? Because, yes, he's been winning again. Incredible.
And Luke's fresh from Paris-Tours with a great tale from inside the bunch, as ever.
