Today's episode title says it all. We've got Sam 'Skippy' Watson winning the Romandie prologue 24 hours after being told to get a flight; a rundown on INEOS' kitchen sink-esque Liege-Bastogne-Liege tactics; and Pogi unsettling G by having a quiet convo with him at 420 watts.
That's plenty to be going on with, but don't worry. There's lots more than that too. A classic Watts Occurring if ever we've heard one.
See you next week...

We've got a treat for you all this week: Ambassador De Pluski's back on the pod. He joined Luke, who was fresh home from the Amstel Gold Race, where... well, where he got lost. Long story.
In one of the most dramatic Classics of the season, Pog didn't win. Remco didn't win. But Matthias Skjelmose did. Chapeau, Sir.
Next up for both Luke (in the car) and De Pluski (on the bike) is Liege-Bastogne-Liege this Sunday. Will it be Pogi ...

We're back baby. That's right, Luke and G are reunited for the first official Watts Occurring of 2025. The season starts now.
And, of course, there is a lot to catch up on - first and foremost, Sunday's Roubaix. And it was a cracker. Mathieu van der Poel won his third on the bounce (how nuts is that?) and Tadej Pogacar showed the world that one day he could well add it to his palmares.
Luke's day was equally eventful and he told ...

This week on the GTCC we've got another racing debrief from G. He's fresh off Catalunya where he enjoyed a solid week and where Ambassador De Pluski rode to a strong second on the final stage and a top 10 overall.
And then we've got a bumper interview for you. Adam Hansen, the President of the CPA (essentially, the riders' union), joins us for a lengthy chat about his role, how he helps the riders, and the sheer breadth of topics ...

This week on the GTCC it's a hefty debrief of G's final Milan San Remo and a soggy opening day at the Volta a Catalunya. He's been a busy boy. Oh, and the team bus ran out of hot water. Long story.
After G updates you all on that, it's time to head back a couple of months to sunnier times, and G's trip to Australia. While he was there, he headed to the driving range with his old, old teammate from Barloworld, Daryl Impey.
Impey's...

Can you imagine racing against each other as kids round a park in Manchester and just a few years later you find yourselves at the top of the sport, winning some of the biggest races around?
That's G and Swifty.
With G's career coming to an end we thought it was time to finally welcome 'Swifty' to the GTCC - and take a big old trip down memory lane. It didn't disappoint.
From leading Swifty out to his first major win at the Tour...

The cycling world wondered what would happen to Caleb Ewan this season. Seemingly on his way out of Jayco Alula, where was he going to end up?
INEOS swooped in, midway through January, and now have themselves a top level sprinter. Exciting, right?
G certainly thinks so, and is delighted the team have signed a close friend. He called him up and, following the move, we thought it was the right time to get Caleb back to talk about i...

It's been far too long. GTCC members the world over have been writing in to ask: when will he be back?
Well, he's back. Yes, Ambassador De Pluski is back on the pod - and he's back in action with G. The Volta ao Algarve kicks off this week and the duo will be tackling the climbs of southern Portugal against the likes of Roglic, Vingegaard and Wout van Aert. It should be a cracker.
With De Pluski back on the pod, we thought we'd t...

Yes, that's right: G's got some big news for you all today.
This year in the peloton will be his last.
A pro career that started in 2007 will finish at the end of this season. It's been a pretty good run hasn't it?!
He sat down to tell Tom all about his decision and his plans for the final year. It's gonna be a good'un.
There'll be plenty of time to reflect come the end of the year but, for now, if you want to send in your favo...

Last week we brought you Stevie Williams and this week we're bringing you his teammate, and another man you've wanted to hear from for ages: Michael Woods.
His story is a relatively well known one at this point: elite runner turned cyclist. But we got to dig a bit deeper with Woodsy, spending 40 minutes with the charismatic Canadian.
Michael now has 16 wins to his name, having joined the WorldTour just nine years ago. His story i...

One man's name came up time and again when we asked you who you'd love to hear on the pod this season: Stevie Williams.
G's compatriot Stevie had a stunning 2024 season and he joined the guys to tell them how he overcame a debilitating knee issue after he turned pro to realise his potential.
This season? Just the small matter of repeating the feats of last season. It'll be fascinating to see how he copes with the challenge.
