    S14 Ep118: Vuelta a Espana 2026: The Preview Aug 17, 2026
    Show notes

    The 2026 Vuelta a España rolls out from Monte Carlo at the weekend, and we’ll be on the ground for the eleventh straight year to bring you all of the action, starting with our race preview.

    Before Daniel Friebe and Larry Warbasse assess the route and riders, we reflect on the devastating passing of Finlay Tarling in last week’s Volta a Portugal. Harrison Wood was also racing in the Volta. He gives us the rider’s perspective of what occurred.

    For our look ahead to the Vuelta, Larry honestly answers the question of whether he or any of the other riders in the field can realistically hope to beat Tadej Pogačar (clue: it’s a fairly resounding ‘no’). Having established that, we look closely at a decidedly spicy route and what opportunities it may offer riders not targeting the GC.

    S14 Ep117: Stage 22 | The Post-Tour de France Press Conference Aug 11, 2026
    Show notes

    In a bumper post-Tour Press Conference episode, Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss tackle a final batch of listeners’ questions sent in as the Tour de France reached its conclusion in Paris.

    That brings to a close our 2026 Tour de France coverage and we’d like to thank everyone who tuned in for our coverage of the men’s and women’s races.

    We also recap some of the biggest post-Tour races and turn our attention towards the final Grand Tour of the season, the Vuelta a España, which starts on August 22.

    Daniel Friebe will be back next week with our Vuelta preview episode.
