Did Not Finish

Ha!

You might have thought you'd you'd seen the last of us. But no. In the words of Timbaland on Aaliyah's 2000 hit Try Again: It's been a long time (long time). We shouldn't have left you (left you).

We're back, and not as shills for some dubious AI training thingy. Dive in for more of the same thing you knew and maybe loved us for already. Kettle's on. We missed you.

All is forgiven?

In the last episode of 2026, Harry, Cillian and Stu finish up with the long-awaited book club episode. Stat chat, emails, the usual fun and something special, too.

Special, you say? That's right. We've got a little surprise for you, in the form of a DNF first. Enjoy!

Thanks for joining us in 2025, greatly appreciated. If you hit play at 23:03, you'll be able to say Happy New Year with us in real time.

Cheers everyone!

Accidentally on purpose we talk about something we talked about before, but slightly differently this time. There are eight differences, if you can spot them all... you win a prize*!!! Stats and emails and all the fun you've come to expect. Enjoy!

*yet to be determined

The boys are back in town/online/in their own homes after a weekend spent in one another's company, a rare and beautiful thing.

This week we're talking rainbow jerseys, again, but this time in a different way. You love them, we love them. We compare the winningest world champions of all time.

Of course we go a bit off track, that's how this podcast works, but we also talk about THE track – topical statistics being a thing we also like.

Ready for your handsling?

Something has happened, and you're not going to believe it. Or maybe you will, it's not that outrageous, but the only way you're going to find out is to listen.

As usual we have a relatively topical statistic, we finally (finally) talk about bikes, albeit not for long, we reveal the winner of the DNF Christmas Book Club, and lots more laughs. Come away in!

How many of Team GB's Olympic track cyclists have books out? Cillian's brought an extraordinary - and some would say downright ridiculous - fact for episode 26 of Did Not Finish. The boys discuss the merits of cycling's autobiographical ouevre, discovery AI-written biographies on Bradley Wiggins and wonder if everything's gone to the dogs...

The racing season is over but the pods continue and we’re beefing with Geraint Thomas in this week’s episode. The recently retired Welsh legend told Cillian to ‘get back in his box’ on Watts Occuring last week, but our Irish hero claps back. Tasty! Harry then starts a beef of his own, and of course, there are stats, lots and lots of stats.

It's Worlds week, but that's not enough for some riders, as the boys discuss why so many great GC riders over the years have been crap at the worlds and one-day races in general. Is the Worlds not enough for you, lads?! Somebody get Pierce Brosnan on the blower.

No, not that much-loved prime time British gameshow but your favourite fun fact-based cycling podcast back for its regular emission, this time inquiring into when a race is worth the effort for riders and fans.

Inspired by goings on at La Vuelta, we take the Delorean to 88 for some adjacent facts/stats from days gone by, Harry reports back from taking the tumble at the Geraint Thomas retirement tour, Cillian issues a gentle rebuttal to a fellow podcast, Stu offers a rendition of some inspiring words dredged from LinkedIn, before we all delve into the mailbag for some global fan action and find out what Cillian's been doing fraternising with a Frenchman on the tellybox.

It’s a topical statistic this week as we discuss the upwardly-mobile Tom Pidcock and his enormously inflated pay packet, along with other poor value for money cyclists (we’re looking at you, Carlos Rodriguez). Harry gets all misty-eyed at the thought of an Englishman up on GC at La Vuelta and Cillian goes on a rant about Pidder’s pampered pooches before we talk about cycling as ‘content’ and whether some cyclists should just focus on doing viral stunts rather than actually, you know, racing.
