Love the pod!!! Where’s the tdf daily’s this year I’m missing them
terribly presented podcast. the discussions are great but they stop at about half the listed time and the rest of the time is blank! useless if you are trying to ride or workout while listening as I have to keep stopping what I do to skip the rest of the episode time.
Half the episode talking about Buffalo Grill 👎👎👎
Can you confirm exactly what Quintana hit to break both of his wheels? Cycling Weekly quotes Quintana as saying “I hit a speed bump right before of the safety zone of the last three kilometres,” If it was a speed bump, I hope he uses different rims for Stage 9. Nb. Broken wheels are not an issue with Swift 😜
