Demi Vollering claims the women's Euro road race title... as does Tadej Pogacar. We'll only see one of them wear the jersey in a race as the other has the rainbow bands to wear to add to a host of other accolades this season. So... we ask the big question... is Tadej Pogacar ruining cycling? Let us know your thoughts!

Magdeleine Vallieres shocks the world by winning gold whilst Tadej Pogacar makes more history to take Rainbows again - but what if you're not Sanny's 3 year old daughter, is it still entertaining with Pog on top?! Red Walters of Grenada joins us to tell us exactly what is was like to be in the race and WHY did he burn all his matches to lead from the gun?! Jeremy Ford is on the road in Rwanda and tells us about a new African star rider in Kahsay Tsige Kiros of Ethiopia and Sanny and Katy reflect on the men's and women's elite races plus reflect on British success in the junior ranks.

And hey, please give us a 5* review wherever you listen to us. Any words will do if you can - Five Stars will help more cycling fans find us and mean we can make more episodes! Thanks!

We head LIVE to Kigali, Rwanda to catch up with Jeremy Ford of Africa Rising who's found himself as the Chef de Mission for Benin at the UCI Road World Cycling Championships. Remco Evenepoel and Marlen Reusser take gold in the time trial, and with Tadej Pogacar comprehensively beaten into fourth, will he be out for revenge come the weekend's road race? Plus there's transfer news - Juan Ayuso has a new home, what would ever happen if UAE fell out with Pogacar we wonder?

And we hear from Red Walters, our old podcast pal who's out competing for Greneda at the championships.

Is Tadej Pogacar entering his villain era? Is there any possible way to stop him winning this year's Tour de France? Jonas Vingegaard and Visma say they're willing to lose it all to try and win. Sanny and Katy return to chew the fat on week 2 and preview week 3, where it's make or break across the peloton

Ok, week one plus Monday! We've seen a bit of everything - Ben Healy is in yellow but for how long? Perhaps only until we head back to the mountains but a sterling effort heading into the first rest day. Mathieu ven der Poel has been winning, had a turn in yellow and been starting side quests for his pals and meanwhile the battle between Vinegaard and Pogacar (who pulled off his 100th victory as planned) rages on. But does Visma now have the complete upper hand on UAE? Milan's the main man in green, can anyone stop him? And Lenny's in Polkas to keep France happy.

The Tour de France 2025 is upon us. What do you need to know? And we get your thoughts on how to beat Tadej Pogacar. Away from the big GC debate, Sanny and Katy return to review the week’s racing ahead of national championships around the world and… there’s a new UAE kit, why did they bother again?!

Tadej Pogacar does it again - can he really banter his way to winning the Tour de France too? Sanny and Katy return to reflect on the differing fortunes of the big three plus a few others including the next big name in French riding as Romain Bardet bids farewell. Marlen Reusser winds the Tour de Suisse women as Demi Vollering and her devlop a big of a rivalry, TdS men is two stages through and the UCI are banning things...

Well, the Tour of Britain Women doesn't disappoint - tears of joy and sadness for Cat Ferguson taking her first pro tour win in a soaking a treacherous Kelso, before being edged out in each intermediate sprint and on the line by Ally Wollaston whilst Lorena Wiebes finally gets her sprint victory in Glasgow. There's Demi Vollering dominance in Catalunya - is this the start of an era of dominance for her new team now in FDJ-Suez over SD Worxx Pro Time? And then it's over the channel to the Dauphine as the BIG FOUR fight it out in brilliant and hilarious fashion in what was supposed to be a sprint stage. Jonas Vingegaard the animator?! Who saw that coming, as Tadej Pogacar again takes a victory over a powerful Remco Evenepoel and a broken-wrist recovering Mathieu van der Poel. And we talk Jake Stewart's fifth on a mad new bike plus Netflix burying their Tour de France series in what is Unchained's farewell finale.

Katy is on the ground at Stages 1 & 2 of the Tour of Britain Women 2025. We catch up with riders before stage 1, where Kim Le Court edges out Kristen Faulkner before throwing you straight into stage 2 with Katy on the road and Sanny back at base. There's strong words from Cat Ferguson but it's Mara Roldan (21 year old Canadian) who steals the show on Saltburn-by-the-Sea!
