Yes, it's another week, another pod, and Tadej Pogacar has won another massive bike race. Solo. Of course he has.
This time it was the European Championships, a week on from winning the Worlds, and you do have to question: this Slovenian lad is pretty good, isn't he? Luke and G certainly think so.
There's also, of course, Luke's updated padel chat, a look ahead to Il Lombardia (yes, Pog is going for his fifth straight win and no,...

Yes, that's right: Tom Pidcock's done it. In the midst of his varied and incredibly successful career, people had begun to doubt if Tom would ever finish on a Grand Tour podium. Not anymore.
Luke and G were amongst them, but they're delighted to have a slice of humble pie on today's pod. Fair play, Tom.
Of course, Jonas Vingegaard's done the business and won another Grand Tour. How long can he stay at the top? And will second pla...

Luke's joined by Ben Swift today to reflect on his emotional Tour of Britain alongside G. Swifty was there to see him over the line in Cardiff and made it to the end of 'stage seven' intact as well.
He's not finished racing for the year - and he hopes to carry on into 2026. We wish Swifty well!

The boys catch up fresh off their post-Tour of Britain hangovers and take a look back over an emotional week across the country.
We get a look behind the curtain at how the Welsh took on G’s big celebration. Do they both remember getting home? Do they know the words to Cwm Rhondda? We’ll let you be the judge.
G talks us through his emotions on the final race day of his career, and how fighting back tears is hard enough without ...

The boys have made it to Wales. God's country. And they're ready to tackle the infamous Tumble tomorrow.
The final Lloyds Tour of Britain stage on English soil saw the race finish atop Burton Dasset Country Park and saw the first battle of the climbers this race. Young Romain Gregoire took the day and the race lead. Can he keep it on The Tumble?
For G, there was plenty of food-based gifts which he's keeping from Luke, some excell...

We had a British winner at the Lloyds Tour of Britain today - and it angered G! Much to Luke's amusement.
20-year-olds shouldn't have 12 wins in a pro season according to G, but Brennan is putting on a show this year. Can he win the whole race? Luke thinks he might just do exactly that.
Elsewhere, Luke's been causing crashes, G's nearly had his arm ripped off, and we're wrapping him in Watts Occurring cotton wool until Cardiff.

Lloyds Tour of Britain day two is in the books and it was another big, dominant sprint win for Olav Kooij.
Behind the scenes, G was accusing Luke of attacking INEOS during a puncture while Luke was giving all his tactics away to Visma Lease-a-Bike. Both those stories will make sense when you listen.
Brilliantly as well, the lads are sharing a hotel tonight - so they were able to pod in the same room! That does't happen very often...

There's been a lot of build up to G's final race and, well, he nearly missed it.
A plane mechanical and a thunder storm conspired to stop him travelling to Suffolk until 1am last night, but he got there. Thank the lord for that. We'd have had to rip up some big old Watts Occurring plans.
Anyway, he rolled out from Woodbridge this morning resplendent in his new INEOS jersey aboard his stunning special edition Pinarello DOGMA F and...

There was G, minding his own business on a leisurely training ride, when a flipping triathlete overtook him. Minutes later, the Cam Wurf wannabe had been pulled over the by the Gendarme for riding too fast.
A close escape for our Welshman, who's winding down now - but not before racing the Tour of Germany this week, and the Tour of Britain in a fortnight.
Luke's been busy too, DSing in Hamburg and now he's prepping himself for Re...
