What the Tour de France Taught Me About Modern Cycling

The Tour is still vibrating in my bones after that finale up Montmartre and along the Champs-Élysées. Tadej Pogačar joined cycling's most exclusive club — five Tour victories. When his team faltered, he blew our minds on Alpe d'Huez, then moonlighted as a superdomestique. The Americans? Sepp Kuss crashed twice in the closing stretch of the Queen Stage. And Quinn Simmons was named best teammate again. Stay tuned for this week's Spicy Take — it might change how you feel about the Tour de France. In this episode: Podium Report: Tadej Pogačar sealed yellow in FAR FROM BORING fashion, finishing 6 minutes clear of the best mountain version of Remco Evenepoel we've ever seen. Isaac del Toro rounded out the podium and nabbed white in his Tour debut. But it was HOW Pogačar did it that had my commentary team debating each other. Here are FIVE THINGS I learned at the Tour. Americans in the Mix: No American won a stage or cracked the top 10, but Sepp Kuss, Quinn Simmons, Sean Quinn, and Matthew Riccitello shone in their team roles, finishing top 25 overall. Impressive! Spicy Takes: Three takes with extra 🌶️. The hottest Tour de France ever sparked a safety-vs-TV showdown. A neutralized GC produced the wildest finish of a 21st stage in the 123-year history of the Tour. And Pogačar's Alpe d'Huez masterclass crushed a 31-year-old record, sending UAE's doubters a brutal message. ⏱️ Spotify Chapters [00:00] – Welcome to VIBE Racing!

Vingegaard Is OUT... Hours After a 2 a.m. Doping Test

It's been a dramatic second week of the Tour de France. Tadej Pogačar just keeps winning, Jonas Vingegaard is out with a broken collarbone, and Remco Evenepoel out-climbed everybody's expectations. Americans? Stick around for Quinn Simmons' high five that was seen around the world and my prediction for a Sepp Kuss stage win. And this week's Spicy Take is maybe more of a spicy question for you. Let's go. In this episode: Podium Report: Pogačar's 4th stage win this year and 25th all-time. The fastest Tour ever raced. Evenepoel's mountain breakthrough silences doubters. And with Vingegaard gone, the GC podium fight is now a youth movement: Del Toro, Seixas, and Ayuso all chasing at once. Americans in the Mix: Four Americans sit inside the top 25 on GC: Sepp is at 17th, Brandon 19th, Sean 20th, and Quinn 25th. All are playing key roles. Spicy Takes: Big controversy. Did the 2am surprise doping control play any casual role in Jonas Vingegaard's stage 15 crash and Tour exit? We consider the pros and cons of surprise control tests. 🌶️ Have opinions?

Pogačar Just Ended the GOAT Debate

The 2026 Tour de France is in its second week, and stage 6 might be the greatest day this sport has seen in the modern era. Tadej Pogačar didn't just win over the Tourmalet — he buried Jonas Vingegaard by 2:40 and obliterated the all-time Strava KOM. We're pulling up Pogačar's power file — the numbers are absurd. Plus: for the American in the Mix, we go deep on Sean Quinn's first week. In this episode: Podium Report: Let's appreciate this performance — we're watching Pogačar do what no racer has done since Eddy Merckx. He is at the top of his game. Americans in the Mix: Sean Quinn's magical and rollercoaster first week. Spicy Takes 🌶️: Having two GC co-leaders on the same team to "keep your options open" is not great for morale, team cohesion, or sponsor satisfaction.
