We dive straight into some Chequamegon 40 trash talk, as we are just about 10 days out from the event on Sept 15th! Then we pivot to updates about La Vuelta, and take a deep dive into what the future holds for Ben King. We celebrate the return of VeloGames by making some pretty poor teams, and Matt sharing some pretty cute Tom Boonen Tom Boonen moments.

August is the annual Wide Angle Podium Donor Drive. If you like our little show (or hate it), please think about joining and helping to support what WAP is building. Check out wideanglepodium.com/donate to get involved! If you enjoy this show, you will probably enjoy the other networks shows as well, give 'em a listen!

We are sponsored this week by the new Grimpeur Bros. Specialty Coffee! Custom WAP roast "The Full Schleck" is now available, and proceeds from each sale directly support WAP and SRP! Check out grimpeurbros.com and pick up the Full Schleck.
