The Detour Podcast

Dan and John crawl out of the Bleakhouse watch‑party haze to unpack one of the wildest Paris–Roubaix editions in years. From the avalanche of punctures to the baffling bike‑swap moment in the Forest, the boys break down how the race blew apart, why Van der Poel and Ganna’s unlikely alliance mattered, and how the POG somehow finished second again. They dive into the women’s race, the crowd chaos, Cookie’s war stories, and the brutal reality that breakaways just don’t stand a chance in the modern 50km/h peloton. Plus: betting disasters, Kiwi heroics, and a shout‑out to the Club Detour crew who made the night possible. A messy, funny, classic Detour debrief from two men who look—and sound—like they’ve survived Roubaix themselves.

Stuart O’Grady, the original Aussie to conquer Paris‑Roubaix, jumps back on The Detour and delivers an absolute belter. From revisiting the cobbles and the legendary Roubaix showers to bumping into cycling royalty in random French museums, Stuey takes us inside the chaos, the dust, the heat and the madness of the race that changed his life.

He breaks down this year’s Roubaix like only a winner can: the weather curveballs, the crosswinds, the tactics, the breakaway battles, and whether anyone can actually stop Pogacar from rewriting history again. Plus, we talk Aussie hopes, team bus glow‑ups, blistered hands, and why Roubaix still hits different in person.

A must‑listen for cycling tragics, Roubaix dreamers, and anyone who loves a yarn from one of the greats.

He broke his arm, trained in the garage, shocked the world, and made grown men scream in the velodrome. Ten years on, Mat Hayman jumps on the Detour to relive the most unlikely Paris‑Roubaix win of the modern era.From the “always keep riding” mantra to the wild evolution of tactics, nutrition and 49km/h classics, Hayman breaks down how the sport has changed — and why resilience still beats spreadsheets.A cracking episode with stories, laughs, and the kind of honesty only Mat delivers.
