It's De Pluski's birthday today - so what better way to spend it than podding with G?
We've missed the Ambassador on the pod so G gave him a call and we got his thoughts on the Vuelta, what he's been up to, and the lowdown on G staying at his house after the Renewi Tour.
Luke and G will be reunited for tomorrow's alternative Vuelta commentary on the Eurosport Cycling Instagram - come and see them from 2:30pm UK time.
See you all then.

The boys are back on the pod! It's been a while since Luke and G caught up, and boy is there lots to discuss.
G's racing hard in Renewi and breaking heart rate records, there's a nuts Vuelta going on in Spain, and Luke's slipping into his comfortable retirement life.
They'll also be back on alternative commentary duty for Eurosport next week - keep an eye on our social channels for details of that one.
See you all then.

G's back from his summer holidays and ready to return to racing at the Renewi Tour. He's not gonna fly, but he's looking forward to supporting INEOS' strong lineup in Belgium.
One thing's for sure though: he's glad not to be in Spain. The first week of the Vuelta has been a rollercoaster - excellent for armchair viewing, not so much for racing in 40+ degree heat.
With Luke away, G called up Producer George to run through the craziness on the roads of Spain and he answered plenty of your questions from Twitter.
We'll be back later in the week with a classic massage table pod from Renewi as G adapts to life back in the bunch.

The Vuelta is here and we're sure it won't come as a surprise to you all that G is not racing this year. Remember, Spain is for holidays.
Ambassador De Pluski will be flying the Watts Occurring flag in the peloton though and, with G sunning himself on a beach, Luke gave Laurens a call to get the lowdown on the third and final Grand Tour of the season.
It all starts tomorrow with a time trial in Lisbon - and De Pluski's roommate young Josh Tarling hopped on the pod as well, to tell us all about it. Can he win the red jersey on day one? That'd be pretty cool.
Who's your favourite for the Vuelta? Tweet us @Watts_Occurring to let us know - and we'll be back in a few days to run through the early action.

Would you take G's palmares, or Remco Evenepoel's? It's become a tricky question after everyone's favourite little bastard did the Olympic double last week. What a fella.
Luke put that to G on the pod as the boys dug into all the action from the Olympics - and there's a lot to catch up on.
We're also entering full on planning mode for our live show at the Lowry Theatre in Salford on November 8th - and to make Producer George's life a bit easier, he asked the listeners for their suggestions and got the boys to rank them.
Got any ideas or know someone who deserves a shoutout? Let us know by emailing gtcc@crowdnetwork.co.uk.

See you next week.

G's not on a massage table this week, or on his bed - no, he's in his wife's car, because that's where the signal is strongest on holiday. One day Watts Occurring will get more professional, we promise.
Luke's back from his DS debut at the Czech Tour, where he used ice hockey icons to motivate the lads, and there's a review of last weekend's cycling action at the Olympics, before some bold road race predictions.
We'll be back next week to see how it all plays out.

G's home from the Tour and adapting back to life at home after the best part of three months on the road. Sadly, his wifi signal was nowhere near as strong as his riding has been lately, and we lost him halfway through the record - but he was on great form before that!
Luke enlisted the help of Producer George - hello! - to finish the pod, pick our Chapeau of the Tour, and preview his first ever race as an official Sport Director. Good luck Rowey!
We hope you enjoyed our Tour coverage - we certainly enjoyed bringing it to you. We'll be back next week with some Olympic action and to start prepping for the Vuelta. It'll be here before you know it - but no, G definitely won't be riding. Spain's for holidays, remember.
See you then.

Just when you think you've seen it all from Pogi... he goes and does it again. We are happy to call the Tour de France over. That was nuts.
Fresh from an hour of alternative commentary on @eurosportcycling's Instagram this afternoon, Luke and Tom hopped on to reflect on that crazy stage - and another remarkable ride from Tadej Pogacar.
He didn't take home Continental Tyres' Chapeau of the Day though - you'll have to listen to hear who gets the nod today.
Luke's gonna be roadside for stage 20 and can't wait to pick up some goodies from the caravan. If he makes it back off the mountain alive, we'll be back for another pod tomorrow.

Well that was a fun day out at the Tour. We loved seeing G and De Pluski flying the flag in the break - and Laurens battled to a valiant fourth out on the road.
G told Tom all about their big day out, picked his Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day (this could have been controversial) and is starting to count down the days until Sunday, when he'll be home with a G&T in his hand.

No, this is not a drill: we do indeed have actual A-List Hollywood star Ben Stiller on the pod today. How's that for a rest day show?
As our listeners will know, Ben's a huge cycling fan, he loves following the Grand Tours, and he's a vocal supporter of G's across social media. He was delighted to accept G's offer to come on the pod and the guys had a great time with the star of Zoolander, Dodgeball, Meet the Parents... the list goes on and on.
Luke and G absolutely loved chatting to him about his love for the Tour, how he watches the action from the States, and got plenty of advice from him on our upcoming Watts Occurring live show, on November 8th at the Lowry Theatre in Salford. Will Ben be there? Who knows.
You can get your tickets here.
G also gave us a typical rest day update and waxed lyrical about Ambassador De Pluski's ride in the breakaway yesterday.
