This episode of The Cycling Podcast covers the Olympic Games time trial, won by Primoz Roglic, and the resumption of the World Tour with the San Sebastian Classic, won by Neilson Powless.

Roglic – a former ski jumper, in case you didn't know – began his sporting career dreaming of gold at the winter Games. Now he is Lord of the Rings in the time trial.

In the Basque Country, Powless secured the biggest win of his career, and one that has finally rewarded the attacking instincts we saw particularly at last year's Tour de France.

There's also a wrap-up of some of the early transfer and contract news confirmed since the August 1 deadline passed, including Tadej Pogacar extending his contract again. What does this say about the development of the World Tour and are we witnessing a concentration of talent among a handful of the top teams?
