Ep 97: 'Tadej Pogačar Has Done Something Generational' - Giro d'Italia 2024 Recap
10 minutes, well, almost 10 minutes, was the gap Tadej Pogačar stretched out when he won the pink jersey at this year's Giro d'Italia. The Toms sit down to discuss the "generational" victory, Pogačar's secret power data, and the wider importance of time trials at Grand Tours. There's also a bold prediction for what the Slovenian will achieve in 2025, and an ode to the unsung heroes of the Giro, including a certain French breakaway merchant.

Ep 96: Spring Classics Review & A Brief Giro d'Italia Preview
Ahead of the first Grand Tour of the season, the Toms take a moment to reflect on this year's Spring Classics and pick out their favourite races of the season so far. There's time for a game of 'Who Came Second?' before finally, a brief look ahead to the Giro d'Italia, and the narratives to look out for in Italy. Will Tadej Pogačar storm his way to the pink jersey? Or will a certain Colombian pip him to it for a 10-year anniversary win? Let's be real, probably the former.

Ep 95: Cobbles Galore - Tour of Flanders Analysis & Paris-Roubaix Preview
Wedged between the two biggest cobbled races in the calendar, the Toms look back on a wet Tour of Flanders and ahead to Paris-Roubaix. Having visited northern France last month, Tom 1 offers his intel on the state of the cobbles. Spoiler: they're not looking good.

Ep 94: Tour of Flanders 2024 Preview - Who Can Challenge Mathieu van der Poel and Lotte Kopecky?
On the bill this Sunday is De Ronde, one of the most prized Monuments there is. The Toms rattle through the route, delve into the history of the Paterberg, and pick out a handful of riders who might challenge the rainbow-clad favourites, Mathieu van der Poel and Lotte Kopecky. Plus, Tom 1 foreshadows a major crash.
Note: This episode was recorded before Wout van Aert crashed out of Dwars door Vlaanderen and broke half the bones in his body.

Ep 93: Strade Bianche, San Remo & A Song Contest
After a series of disasters at TT Podcast HQ - a broken face for Tom 1 and a burnt laptop for Tom 2 - we're back to talk about the Italian Spring Classics. Strade Bianche offered two distinct races, both of which ended with two serial winners on the top step. What will San Remo bring? Who knows, we'd rather talk about the town's recent song contest.

Ep 92: Six Bold Predictions for the 2024 Cycling Season
There’s no better way to kick off 2024 than by putting our reputations on the line with some wild predictions for the upcoming road season. It's three shouts from Tom 1, three from Tom 2, and a lot of questions about each other's reasoning. Whisper it quietly, but could this be the year Visma-Lease a Bike don't win a Grand Tour?
