Yes, you're right: it's been far too long. We've missed De Pluski on the pod but, stuck up in Isola training for the Tour with G, we took the opportunity to catch up with everyone's favourite Belgian.
There's been a dramatic wedding proposal in Australia, some very solid performances on the bike and, of course, that incredible showing at the Dauphine. Now he's ready for the Tour - his first in the colours of INEOS.
And we're sure if you ask him nicely enough, he'll make a return to the pods throughout July. Long live the Carrot of Ninove.

The boys are back after another busy week: Luke's been living it up at Le Mans 24 Hours, G's been getting the miles under his belt in Isola (while chuckling at De Pluski), and there's the Tour de Suisse to recap.
We'll be back next week with the big Tour de France preview. Can anyone else believe how quickly it's come around? Sheesh.

G's up in Isola, Luke's had a sun cream faux pas, but both the boys have been keeping a beady eye on a cracking Dauphine. Ambassador De Pluski was right in the mix, Roglic pulled on the yellow jersey, and it's fair to say Tour de France fever is building.
Meanwhile our new Watts Occurring t-shirts have been causing a stir - you can still get yours here, before the pre-sale window closes: https://crowdnetwork.store/collections/watts-occurring

Oh! Watts Occurring Pogi? You didn't really think after Luke spent the month of May rating his pink outfits and G spent it chasing him round Italy, that we couldn't get Pog on the pod did you?
The Giro d'Italia winner and favourite for this year's Tour de France, Tadej Pogacar joined G in Monaco while Luke dialled in for a fun chat with the Slovenian star.
What was his favourite stage in the Giro? How is he going to race the Tour? What's the first thing he ate after winning in Rome?
We've got answers to all of that and more in this special Watts Occurring.

Another Grand Tour podium for G. What a man. Here at Watts Occurring we're incredibly proud of him - and we're sure you all are too.
Now the dust has settled on the podium in Rome, Luke got him to reflect on his third place, chasing pink panther Pog around Italy, Macs stealing the show on the final day and plenty more besides.
Next up? The Tour de France. Bring it on.

The rain has started pouring in Italy but G remains right in the hunt for a podium spot in Rome. There's plenty to catch up on: the shorted stage 16, a mountain battle on stage 17, and today's sprint day.
With Luke and Tom busy, G hopped on the massage table, plugged in his mic, and updated Producer George on the comings and goings in Italy.
There's two big mountains days left - and G has two ascents of Monte Grappa to look forward to on his 38th birthday. Can you think of a better way to spend it?

The Giro d'Italia saw a show today. A Tadej Pogacar show. And G had a front row seat, as he solidified his podium place. Fresh from the team bus he hopped on the massage table with his mic, gave Luke a buzz, and they set about recording an absolute classic Watts Occurring.
G was typically honest on the race within the race, if the Slovenian can be stopped, and all the rest of the action since our two Welshman last caught up.

The boys have been busy - G racing the Giro, Luke repping the pod live in studio on Eurosport, and there's three big days of racing to recap.
It's been pretty smooth since the rest day but, as always, Grand Tours are like a swan swimming across a pond. There's always a hell of a lot happening under the surface.
G filled us in on the peloton's antics, reflected on Julian Alaphilippe's incredible stage win today, another big ride from Johnny 'Bravo' Narvaez, and previewed stage 13's sprint test, before looking ahead to a brutal weekend of climbing. Strap yourselves in.
The Giro 'starts' this weekend.

It's rest day number one at the Giro, so you know what that means: it's time for a pod.
There's a lot for G and Luke to catch up on. That tricky time trial, the latest summit finish, what's coming up this week, and we even had some time for a few of your questions. Pippo Ganna even popped by.
We can't wait for week two - and we'll be back with another pod in a few days. Come on G!

We're on the eve of the second weekend at the Giro d'Italia and Luke and Tom are here to recap the first time trial of the race - and it was a cracker.
G battled hard to a solid top-10 finish while Pog put in a big ride to pip Pippo Ganna to the stage win by a matter of seconds and strengthen his grip on the maglia rosa.
There's plenty for the boys to catch up on - yesterday's gravel stage, a special ride from Luke's friend Michael Valgren, more #PinkPanther analysis and - as always - a lot more.
Luke and Tom will also be providing alternative commentary live on Eurosport tomorrow, for stage 8 - tune in to @eurosportcycling or @gtcyclingclub on Instagram from 2pm UK time to hear their thoughts on the race's latest mountaintop finish.
G will be back on the pod on Monday.
