Ben Swift should have been in France right now, battling the weather and the best riders in the world on a brutal stage two at the Tour.
But, alas, a shoulder fracture and subsequent illness ruled 'Swifty' out of INEOS' Tour selection, so Luke called him up to get his expert thoughts on the pod.
Today's late climbs lived up to the hype - and while the favourites battled it out up front, we were delighted to see G hanging tough behind.
Two days in and the Tour is already flying.

Last week we previewed the Tour de Suisse with an excited G - but this week we had to ask him about an innocuous crash that saw him have to head home from Switzerland early.
Has it wrecked his Tour prep? Is he recovered?
He answers both of those questions in this week's pod and looks back at the winner in Suisse, the impressive Joao Almeida.
And next week? Well, you can expect a Tour de France preview from us - and then the greatest cycling show in the world starts just a few days later...
We'll see you then.
