Ahead of the first Grand Tour of the season, the Toms take a moment to reflect on this year's Spring Classics and pick out their favourite races of the season so far. There's time for a game of 'Who Came Second?' before finally, a brief look ahead to the Giro d'Italia, and the narratives to look out for in Italy. Will Tadej Pogačar storm his way to the pink jersey? Or will a certain Colombian pip him to it for a 10-year anniversary win? Let's be real, probably the former.

Wedged between the two biggest cobbled races in the calendar, the Toms look back on a wet Tour of Flanders and ahead to Paris-Roubaix. Having visited northern France last month, Tom 1 offers his intel on the state of the cobbles. Spoiler: they're not looking good.

On the bill this Sunday is De Ronde, one of the most prized Monuments there is. The Toms rattle through the route, delve into the history of the Paterberg, and pick out a handful of riders who might challenge the rainbow-clad favourites, Mathieu van der Poel and Lotte Kopecky. Plus, Tom 1 foreshadows a major crash.

Note: This episode was recorded before Wout van Aert crashed out of Dwars door Vlaanderen and broke half the bones in his body.

After a series of disasters at TT Podcast HQ - a broken face for Tom 1 and a burnt laptop for Tom 2 - we're back to talk about the Italian Spring Classics. Strade Bianche offered two distinct races, both of which ended with two serial winners on the top step. What will San Remo bring? Who knows, we'd rather talk about the town's recent song contest.

Here it is, the cycling world's official Team of the Season. The Toms pick 2023's best GC leader, sprinter, domestique and classics rider from both the men's and women's pelotons. They then sing the praises of a few unsung heroes, and award the race of the year.

It’s been a while. The Toms return after a 10-week absence to reminisce about the biggest races in cycling over the summer. They chose their WTF moment, as well as their hero, villain and star rider. There’s even time for a lengthy digression on Bryan Coquard.
