The boys have been busy - G racing the Giro, Luke repping the pod live in studio on Eurosport, and there's three big days of racing to recap.
It's been pretty smooth since the rest day but, as always, Grand Tours are like a swan swimming across a pond. There's always a hell of a lot happening under the surface.
G filled us in on the peloton's antics, reflected on Julian Alaphilippe's incredible stage win today, another big ride from Johnny 'Bravo' Narvaez, and previewed stage 13's sprint test, before looking ahead to a brutal weekend of climbing. Strap yourselves in.
The Giro 'starts' this weekend.

The calm before G's weekend storm | Giro d'Italia stage 12 - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport

It's rest day number one at the Giro, so you know what that means: it's time for a pod.
There's a lot for G and Luke to catch up on. That tricky time trial, the latest summit finish, what's coming up this week, and we even had some time for a few of your questions. Pippo Ganna even popped by.
We can't wait for week two - and we'll be back with another pod in a few days. Come on G!

G's rest day recap | What a week at the Giro! - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport

We're on the eve of the second weekend at the Giro d'Italia and Luke and Tom are here to recap the first time trial of the race - and it was a cracker.
G battled hard to a solid top-10 finish while Pog put in a big ride to pip Pippo Ganna to the stage win by a matter of seconds and strengthen his grip on the maglia rosa.
There's plenty for the boys to catch up on - yesterday's gravel stage, a special ride from Luke's friend Michael Valgren, more #PinkPanther analysis and - as always - a lot more.
Luke and Tom will also be providing alternative commentary live on Eurosport tomorrow, for stage 8 - tune in to @eurosportcycling or @gtcyclingclub on Instagram from 2pm UK time to hear their thoughts on the race's latest mountaintop finish.
G will be back on the pod on Monday.

How do you solve a problem like Peppa Pog? - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport

Did anybody think the first three days of the Giro would be that exciting? We didn't.
An INEOS win on day one, a classic Pog ride on day two, and then a wild attack from G and Pog on day three! It's been a tasty ride.
So, it was time for a pod. Luke joined G to chat about that crazy first weekend, INEOS' tactics, how our Welshman's feeling in Italy and what's left to come this week.
The boys will be back soon - and we're hoping G carries on his cracking start.

Hold that wheel son: G and Pog on the attack at the Giro - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport

1 January, 2012. The day that Luke Rowe became a professional bike rider, pulling on the immortal colours of Team Sky for the first time.
13 years later, after a career that he dreamt of as a young Maindy Flyer, growing up in Cardiff and riding round the famous outdoor velodrome, Luke's decided to hang up his pro wheels at the end of this season.
What a journey it's been. He sat down with G this week to bring you, our Watts Occurring listeners, the news first.
It's not been an easy decision. Following his crash and concussion in E3 back in March, regular listeners will know that Luke's recovery hasn't been as speedy as expected. As he explains, following medical advice and long discussions with his young family, Luke has decided that this season will be his last.
He still hopes to race this season - did someone say Tour of Britain? - but will need to see how his recovery progresses.
For now, it's time to pay tribute to Luke, and start planning his retirement party.
It's been fun, eh?
