Bit of disappointing news this week on Watts Occurring, as G's off to race the Vuelta without Luke alongside him. The boys run through the lineup and Luke reveals why he won't be in Spain with typical honesty.
G will still have seven weapons alongside him though, as he targets his second Grand Tour of the season for the first time in many years. Currently up at altitude in Isola, you all know he'll give it his best shot.
Luke's set to race in Germany and we'll still be bringing you plenty of Vuelta pods across August and September.
See you then.

The boys are back and - just about - recovered from the Glasgow world championships. Luke tackled the brutal road race and G took on the long time trial, won by our pre-worlds guest Remco Evenepoel (yes, the little b*stard).
Luke's got a cracking story about the protest that stopped the men's road race for around 40 minutes, while G let slip that he considering retiring when he was caught by Remco. Turns out G was still putting in a good ride, Remco had just gone into alien mode.
Now prep ramps up for the Vuelta, which the boys will both be off to next week - all being well. We're in for a wild month in Spain and of course, we'll be podding along the way.
See you then.

Oh, Remco. Watts Occurring son? He's the name on everyone's lips for this Sunday's men's road race world championships in Glasgow, so G gave him a call and got everyone's favourite "little b*stard" on the pod. Do you reckon he can repeat last year's remarkable victory on Sunday?
The guys asked him what he makes of his nickname, his love of white shorts, and Belgium's tactics for the big race. Did he reveal all?
Elsewhere, G's been missing podium ceremonies in Poland and Luke's tucked up in Glasgow ready to do his bit for the British team on home roads. It should be a special one.
We'll be back to review all the action next week - and preview G's shot at time trial world champs glory.

After a busy few days Luke is back on the pod, coming to you from Belgium on the eve of Tour de Wallonie. He had both eyes on an absorbing day of action at the Tour though, and has lots to say about the day's breakaway action.
G's continuing to work hard in Andorra and is enjoying catching the last couple of kilometres when his work is done for the day. It's fair to say that Luke is the more serious pundit of the two.
You ready for the stage 20 fireworks? It should be a cracker.

You read that correctly - we've got a Watts Occurring exclusive tonight! G called up his old mate Mark Cavendish and he was kind enough to join us to chat about his recovery from that heartbreaking Tour de France crash, his thoughts on today's stage and - as ever with two old mates - absolutely everything in-between.
Would his Astana team caught the break today? And what were Movistar doing in that leadout in Rome? Listen to find out.
We'll be back tomorrow for a stage 19 recap - and Luke will join us from Tour de Wallonie, as he continues his racing build up to the Vuelta.

Well, the fearsome Col de la Loze lived up to its reputation and ripped the Tour de France GC to shreds. Jonas Vingegaard has all but sewn up the yellow jersey for another year, Pog had a heartbreaking collapse, and the battle for third has swung the way of Adam Yates.
G recruited Ambassador De Plus to chat all about the hardest stage of the race so far - and what it all means. They also had a comedic crash out training in Andorra today - you'll enjoy hearing all about that one.
The sprinters should do battle once again tomorrow on stage 18, if they've got any juice left. See you then.

Holy moly. What a performance that was. Jonas Vingegaard has taken a major step towards the yellow jersey by destroying today's Tour time trial. Pogacar had no answer, despite being a clear second.
G and Luke get stuck right into it - and discuss if there's a path back to yellow for Pogi. What do you reckon? Let us know on Twitter: @Watts_Occurring.
Tomorrow? It's only the Col de la Loze. We keep saying it, but this is the Tour that keeps on giving. See you tomorrow.
