If know you me, you know that I have a complicated relationship with pro cycling, where I gave it the best years of my life, it stabbed me in the back and shoved me out in my prime, but then launched me to a better life than I ever could have dreamed of. To be honest (other than when someone texted me that a friend was going to win the stage) I haven’t watched a bike race since 2016. I was always turned off by some doper in the pack or the commentary booth, but folks liked the podcast series, and a ton of you asked me to keep it going during the Tour. Maybe this will be healthy for me.
I have done hundreds of pro races, I know these guys and the teams and a lot of what’s going on and I have plenty of inside squawk and gossip. I’ll give you the summary, tell you what I’m seeing that might be a little different from what they’re saying on TV, but mostly I’m looking to enjoy it together.
Today’s stage was finally a chance for the sprinters 185k with a few short hills but mostly flat, which did not go as expected. I was bored all day and mad at myself for wasting my time watching this race, but in retrospect I loved every minute it.

Yesterday was a time trial that ended with a big margin of victory, and today we saw another big gap in the mountains. All of the comments lately have been asking about doping, so I figure this is a good chance to get into it before we do the regular stage update.

Today's stage was a 22 km time trial. This was the GC stage that we were all curious about and waiting for, and it did deliver. That said, it was also a time trial, which means it was very boring. I watched the whole thing so you don't have to.
Sorry I couldn't help it. I'll do a good one tomorrow I promise

Stage 15 featured 6 big climbs and another chance for Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard to put on a show. We had a big crash, an unexpected breakaway, and fireworks in the finale

Stage 13 included a mountaintop finish which is always exciting for the GC battle and the breakaway. If you ask me, that’s about all that was exciting today, so you have my blessing to tune in for the last 15k or so, and I guarantee you’ll not be disappointed.

Stage 12 was an exciting start that turned into a great tactical display in the breakaway. I also address the rumor that the Soudal Quick-Step team is for sale, how they would price that, and who might be the buyer.

Stage 11 was a snooze--predicable small breakaway, controlled by the sprint teams but some pretty views, so I make up for it with some good jokes and stories. Watch and listen my feed in its entirety of course, and then watch the last 10k of the race.

Stage 10 was a fun mess! From an early breakaway, joined by a split, with another breakaway coming out of it, I could barely keep track of what the hell was going on. I’ll tell you what that feels like in the pack, and how it works itself out.
