Four years ago, Amy Hudson had barely started cycling. Now? Well, she just finished riding the entire men's Tour de France route... including the transfers. She credits the bike with saving her life and her story is a remarkable, inspiring tale of human endeavour. Emma and Manon were delighted to welcome Amy to the show - and sat there open mouthed as she told her story! We know you're going to love this. Go and follow Amy! http...

Pre-Tour de France, a lot of names were thrown around for the top 10. Not many lists had Scotsman Oscar Onley on them. And yet the 22 year old from Kelso enjoyed a breakthrough ride at the world's biggest race. Fourth place overall, with a remarkable eight top-10 finishes, Oscar announced himself on the biggest stage and finished just a minute off the podium. We knew we had to get him on the pod - and of course, Luke had to crown...

When Emma Finucane walked into the Watts Occurring Femmes studio yesterday, the team had to bow down at her feet. She's now an MBE! Manon Lloyd got the inside scoop on what it's like to receive such an honour from Princess Anne. She also told Emma about her own recent brush with cycling royalty - when she interviewed G at the end of the Tour! The girls also dig into the Tour de France Femmes and Pauline Ferrand Prevot's remarkabl...

G and Luke are back with a post-Tour update - and things are a little different to how they were a few years back. Plenty of family time for the boys and also a lot of big cycling news to catch up on: a brilliant Tour de Frances Femmes victor, a huge move for Remco (#littlebastard) and a big win for Luke's boys, Decathlon-AG2R, in Poland. G's next up at the Tour of Germany and then the countdown begins to Tour of Britain... and h...

This week on Watts Occurring Femmes, Manon puts Emma under the spotlight. How do you win Olympic Gold? And how do you even begin to think about backing that up four years later, at your second Olympics? This is a fascinating chat into Emma's mindset and shows just how she's become a world champion and three-time Olympic medallist at such a young age. Watts Occurring Femmes is brought to you by Rouvy, and hosted by Pinarello. Wan...

You've seen G's personal Tour debrief, but now enjoy Luke and Producer George breaking down the whole race by picking their top 10 riders from this year's journey round France. Live from a windy and rainy Paris, inside the excellent Continental Tyres base on the Champs Elysees, they ran through the riders who've left the biggest impact on the Tour in 2025. Agree? Disagree? Let them know over in the YouTube comments. Watts Occurr...

Well, that's that then. G has raced his final ever Tour de France stage. From the youngest man in the race who finished 140th back in 2007, to the 2018 winner, and now the oldest guy in the race. It's been a truly remarkable journey. Yesterday's ride around Paris was G's 282nd Tour stage. Yes, you are reading that correctly. The rain fell on Paris and put paid to our best laid plans to bring you a finish line pod with G but, once...

When a climber wins one stage at the Tour de France, that's usually that. Job done, get to Paris. But not Thymen Arensman. What a ride from INEOS' Dutchman on the final mountain stage at this year's Tour. Chapeau, Sir. And Pogi? Well, he did what he needed to do. Barring disaster, that's number four for the remarkable Slovenian. Luke and Tom recapped all the action - and got to the bottom of the Yates Snr mystery. He's not happy...

G's ridden his final ever Tour de France queen stage - and now he's got just three days left to go. He hopped on the massage table (once he'd warmed up) to tell Tom all about his day on the fearsome Col de la Loze and his desire to be handed chocolate bars on the mountain tomorrow. If you're out there, Watts Occurring listeners, you know what to do. The whole Watts team is excited to see G in Paris on Sunday, but Tom and Luke wil...

Introducing... Watts Occurring Femmes! Yes, that's right, Manon Lloyd and Emma Finucane have joined the Watts Occurring family. They'll be bringing you weekly episodes from inside the world of women's cycling, welcoming guests, eating Welsh cakes, and we'll also be tracking Emma's journey to the LA Olympics. This could be the best idea Luke and G have ever had. Luke joined the girls for part one of their first episode, before t...

That's that then. G's final ever (competitive) time up Mont Ventoux. And the stage really did not disappoint. We saw the breakaway duke it out for the win, Pog and Jonas come within a whisker of catching them, and just generally some excellent Ventoux fireworks. One of the stages of the race so far. Five days to go. Each and every one is going to be a belter. We'll be back soon. Don't forget, we have a brilliant offer from our ...

It's rest day number two at the Tour and there's a big weekend of racing to reflect upon - and a huge final week coming right up. Luke and Tom recapped all the action, cast their eye over the teams who'll be hoping for a change of fortunes, and plenty more besides. We'll be back with G tomorrow night, fresh from conquering Mont Ventoux for the final time. Don't forget, we have a brilliant offer from our friends at Rouleur for Ju...

In 2007, a baby faced Geraint Thomas rolled out on the streets of London to start his first-ever Tour de France time trial. Today, he rode his last. This one happened to be up a brutal Pyrenean mountain under the blazing French summer sun, so we'll forgive G for not going full gas. Up front, Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard battled it out once again. And, well, you can probably guess what happened. G's teammate Connor Swift jo...

It was nearly 8pm and G messaged the famous Watts Occurring WhatsApp group. 'Boys I'm not really in the mood. I'm nailed.' But we knew an hour on the massage table chatting to Luke was exactly what he needed - and by the end of tonight's pod, he'd come round. And what a day it was at the Tour. A huge break, GC gaps aplenty and - of course - an absolute clinic from Pog. We are witnessing greatness. Incredibly though... he didn't ...

Bastille Day in France and the Tour usually serves up a route that will cause some drama. Well, today didn't disappoint. A nail-biting wait for young Ben Healy to see if he could nab yellow off Pogacar, a typically classy stage win from the Giro d'Italia winner, and plenty of typical Tour drama aplenty. What a race it is. The new yellow jersey won our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day and Tom and Luke also awarded yesterday's...

An hour into today's Tour stage and news filtered out: Geraint Thomas is in the breakaway. Hold the phone. In the end, it wasn't to be for the break - Nils Politt, 'the Flying Dentist', set the pace in the bunch and they were caught the first time up the famous Mur de Bretagne. G enjoyed himself though, and joined Luke on the pod to chat all about it. The boys will be back on Monday. Don't forget the incredible competition fro...

G's back on the pod tonight and he settled in for a long old catch up with Luke after today's 33km time trial in Caen. They chatted the TT, G's form, INEOS' plans, Remco's ride... and plenty more besides. Quintessential Watts Occurring, this. Enjoy. Don't forget the incredible competition from our friends at Continental Tyres. Visit www.continental-tyres.co.uk/watts-occurring before it closes this Sunday to enter and you could j...

That was a wild finale and another relentless day at the Tour. Will this year’s race ever quieten down? Luke and Tom hopped on the pod to analyse a fascinating day which turned into a full on GC battle... plus the incredible MVDP. G will be back tomorrow for a TT recap.

Ben Swift should have been in France right now, battling the weather and the best riders in the world on a brutal stage two at the Tour. But, alas, a shoulder fracture and subsequent illness ruled 'Swifty' out of INEOS' Tour selection, so Luke called him up to get his expert thoughts on the pod. Today's late climbs lived up to the hype - and while the favourites battled it out up front, we were delighted to see G hanging tough be...
