Today's episode is a very special one. Not only do we wrap up the final Monument of 2024, but it's also the first in a series of episodes partnering with Movember. Suicide is the leading cause of death in men aged 15 to 54 years. In Australia, 3 in 4 suicides are men. 1 in 5 Aussie men will receive a diagnosis of prostate cancer in their lifetime. Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men aged between 15 and 34 in Australia.

The Domestiques pays tribute to the Aussie domination at La Vuelta. Ben O'Connor, Jay Vine, and Kaden Groves all appeared on the podium of the final Grand Tour of the year as Primoz Roglic silenced the doubters by claiming La Vuelta number 4. The team discussed the inspirational endurance journey of Lachlan Morton who is attempting to circumnavigate Australia on a bicycle. And the women’s peloton is in for a shakeup as the end of the season nears. Plenty to digest. Lots to unpack as the Aussies take centre stage in this episode of The Domestiques.
