The Detour Podcast

A ripping Talent Tool Shed chat with junior sensation Declan Pritchard, the Aussie kid who’s gone from barely surviving local bunch races to winning in Europe within 18 months. Declan breaks down the chaos of Euro racing, the slippery‑as‑hell crash that taught him a lesson, the 70‑kilometre breakaway that announced his arrival, and the host‑family setup that’s become his Belgian home away from home. He talks classics ambitions, bunch‑positioning warfare, Pro Velo confidence, SEG support, and the growing interest from big development teams. A grounded, hungry young talent with a massive engine and an even better attitude — this episode is a snapshot of a future star on the rise.

John "Iffy" Trevorrow is home from his 26th Tour de France, and he reckons it's the best one he's covered. Dan grills him on the last-minute dash to France with Vazzy, the bottle feeds in 47-degree heat, and the archive punch-on clip that broke the internet on the day of Alpe d'Huez. Plus: is Pogačar's dominance killing the race or saving it, the Remco interview that got away, King Craps, Ben O'Connor's selfie moment, and where Green Edge lands next.
