    The Tour de France Finale Was Brilliant… Almost

    The Tour de France reached Paris yesterday with a final stage that once again delivered far more than the traditional procession and sprint. ASO deserves enormous credit for reimagining the finale, using the Montmartre circuit to create genuine tension, spectacular crowds and an unpredictable race. However, the decision to freeze the general classification with roughly 41 kilometres remaining effectively created an artificial “finish line” long before the Champs-Élysées. In this episode, Anthony unpacks the drama, the spectacle and whether cycling’s biggest race can truly claim to be racing all the way to the finish.

    5 Things Pogacar Does After Every Tour de France Stage

    How do World Tour riders recover from brutal five-hour stages and do it all again the next morning? In this episode, Anthony breaks down the recovery habits used throughout the Tour de France, from rapid refuelling and evening meals to massage, tart cherry juice and cold-water immersion. More importantly, he explains which strategies amateur cyclists should copy, which are only useful during stage races, and why blindly following the pros could actually interfere with your long-term training progress.

    The New Cycling Metric That Explains Why You Get Dropped

    Why can a rider with a lower FTP still drop you when the road kicks up? The answer may lie in a second, often overlooked energy system. In this episode, Sarah breaks down Functional Reserve Capacity and dynamic FRC—the “battery” that powers attacks, surges and hard accelerations. We explore how this metric can explain race blow-ups, failed interval sessions and poor pacing, while helping everyday cyclists use their limited energy more effectively when it matters most.

    Peptides, Ageing and the Cyclist’s Search for an Edge

    Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about Peptides are everywhere—from collagen supplements and GLP-1 medications to experimental compounds promising faster recovery, fat loss and injury repair. But what does the science actually say, and where does legitimate medicine end and clever marketing begin? In this episode, we explore why peptides are so appealing to ageing cyclists, the evidence behind collagen, the risks surrounding BPC-157 and TB-500, and what competitors need to know about anti-doping rules. We also look at longevity clinics, grey-market products and the powerful desire to keep performing as we age.

    The Reason Cyclists Are Gaining Weight Even Though They Are Training

    Go check out our FREE Skool community, it's got amazing tools in there and a thriving community of cyclists - https://www.skool.com/roadman/about The idea that more training always leads to a leaner body isn't always true. Many cyclists are surprised to see the scales creeping up despite spending hours in the saddle. From hidden calorie intake and poor recovery habits to metabolic adaptations and lifestyle factors, there are several reasons why hard training can sometimes lead to weight gain instead of weight loss. In this article, we'll explore the most common causes and explain what you can do to get your body composition moving in the right direction. One of the tools you will have heard Anthony chat about in this podcast is Training Peaks. Without this platform we can't get into the detail required to pricesly train within zones.
