Merry Christmas from Richard, Daniel, Lionel and everyone at The Cycling Podcast.

Cast your mind back to the summer's three grand tours in this mini episode. We'll be back in mid-January to see what the 2022 season has in store.

In the meantime, Friends of the Podcast subscribers can listen to our Christmas Selection Box, starting on Christmas Day. We'll release seven episodes over the festive season starting with a love letter to cycling magazines.

A Friends of the Podcast subscription is £20 (approx $26US, €27 or $37 AUS) for a year's access. There are currently more than 50 episodes to listen to straight away.
