This has been the most entertaining first six stages the Tour de France has seen in years. We had a surprise 300-to-1 winner of the first stage, a popular Frenchman wearing Yellow, and a crazy difficult climb that almost brought the peloton to a standstill. 

In the first half, Randy discusses the battle for GC, the riders who have dug themselves early holes, the under-the-radar heroes of the early stages, and his favourite moments of the Tour so far. 

In the second half, the Giro Rosa takes centre stage as Randy goes over the dominant performances that we've seen in this years edition. 

The podcast closes with a juicy edition of the Rumour Mill!

Is this the year a French rider finally wins Yellow? Will Team Ineos really miss Froome as much as we think? Can anyone beat Sagan for Green (without him being DQ'd)? Is there any chance a wildcard team will find stage win success?

 

This episode has all the information you want to know about the 106th Tour de France! Randy gives the inside info on this years route, the Yellow Jersey contenders, the Green Jersey, the Polka Dot Jersey, potential stage winners, his podium picks, and more!

 

This is your essential guide to get you fired up and thoroughly prepared for the biggest bike race of the year. Listen now so you can be the one that impresses your friends with your wealth of knowledge!

No more warmup races. No more distractions. Le Tour officially starts next weekend! Randy goes over the final races in the leadup to the Tour de France and what we learned about some of this year's GC contenders (mostly Egan Bernal).

We also look at the teams that have started to confirm their Tour squads and which teams had some (surprising?) omissions. Some of these omissions are due to injury, but other's are based off rider form and overall team goals. What, if anything, do these omissions mean for the future of these riders on their respective teams? 

Get ready for next week's official Tour de France preview!

Randy wraps up a lacklustre final week of the Giro d'Italia by giving his thoughts on what went right for Richard Carapaz and what went wrong for everyone else.

Also...the UCI's race jury strikes again...

After a much more exciting second week of the Giro d'Italia, we finally have a better idea of who the top contenders are in the race. An unexpected rider (and team) controls the Maglia Rosa, and one of the big favourites is back on his heels. This episode breaks down the riders in with the best chance in the race for pink, and those that have fallen out of the equation.

Is Roglic unstoppable? Can Yates and Lopez come back from their poor time trials? Will we see a vintage Nibali performance in the mountains? 

We have reached the first rest day of the Giro, and it already feels like its been 3 weeks... The first week was not as exciting as Randy had hoped, so he looks forward to what will be a much more interesting second week. 

Randy then discusses the controversy from the Tour of California, but more importantly how the race was completely dominated by the young, rising stars of the sport. The conversation then moves into which teams (and countries) will be enjoying the first rest day the most.

Who is riding in the Pink jersey? Who has sprinted for glory? What overreactions can we take from what we've seen so far? Randy takes a look at the first few days of the Giro d'Italia and gives some ideas of what we will see over the rest of the first week of the race.

He also discusses one of the rising stars in the women's peloton before going into some of the rider transfer rumours and how he has absolutely no evidence to support them.

It's officially Grand Tour season! This episode features a full preview of the Giro d'Italia which includes an overview of the route, the favourites, and potential stage winners. Randy also makes some BOLD predictions for the race which might not make the Italian fans too happy. 

The episode concludes with a preview of the start list at the Tour of California, and why it is one of Randy's favourite races on the calendar.

It's a down week in the cycling world in the lead-up to the Giro d'Italia, so Randy decides to change the pace. With cyclings popularity declining in the 21st century, Randy takes a look at the Rapha Roadmap and discusses what he thinks are the quickest and most effective changes professional cycling can make to increase its popularity with a wider audience. 

He finishes off the episode by recapping last weeks busy schedule and touches on the Tour de Romandie, Tour de Yorkshire, Eschborn-Frankfurt, and The Tour of the Gila.

The rider with impeccable hair was finally able to drop his rival and got the big Monument win he's been working so hard for. Randy takes you through this man's journey through the 2019 season and starts the debate on who the most consistent rider has been during the spring classics. He follows that up with a look at the races that take place this week in the lead-up to the first Grand Tour of the year, the Giro d'Italia.
