Two absolutely incredible Olympic road races lead this week's show, and we bring in somebody with a truly unique view of all the action. Zac Williams shot photographs from a motorcycle all weekend and takes us through what he saw and what goes into getting the shot. For more on the photo in question, check this story on the site. 

We're back from the Tour de France but the racing hasn't stopped. The Olympics are on and Caley, Jonny, and Dane discuss two thrilling mountain bike races, some very wet time trials, and look ahead to this weekend's road races. Plus, Iain Treloar jumps in to update us on some of his Capital J Journalism and its impact. 

One last Tour de France Daily podcast, delayed by some lost luggage but finally here for your ears. An annual tradition, the Awards Episode looks back over a highly enjoyable Tour de France and hands out the most prestigious awards that we hand out. 

The end of the Tour de France. Tadej Pogačar is now a three-time champion and the first to do the Giro/Tour double since Pantani. Caley, Jonny, Iain, and Ronan talk through the biggest storylines of the month, plus a bit of tech from the paddocks in Monaco. 

Thank you to everyone who listened along this month, we hope you enjoyed this Tour as much as we did. 

The final road stage of the 2024 Tour de France is behind us. Caley, Iain, Jonny, and Joshua Robinson of the Wall Street Journal talk through Romain Bardet's last road stage, Tadej Pogačar's win record, and much more. 

The fight for the yellow jersey is over. Tadej Pogačar now has over five minutes, Jonas Vingegaard conceded it won't happen for him this year. Richard Carapaz has come close to locking the polka dots, and Biniam Girmay is close to making history. Caley, Jonny, Iain, and Joshua Robinson of the Wall Street Journal digest and discuss the Tour's high water mark atop Isola 2000, and then catch up in Nice to bring you inside the race. 

The crew discuss the cleansing power of Dad Watts, the fireworks that await, and dig into the listener mailbag.

The Tour Daily crew breaks down a stage 17 that finally saw a breakaway stage winner in the mountains – but that still featured attacks from Tadej Pogačar. Plus, the crew ponders whether someone on the Internet actually has special insight into what goes on behind the scenes at UAE.

Jasper Philipse edged closer to the green jersey as Biniam Girmay suffered a nasty crash, and we're about to head back into the Alps for a tough end to this Tour de France. Caley, Jonny, and Iain discuss all that plus a very flat rat, some live-on-TV swearing, carbon monoxide, and Cav's last sprint stage.
