    No rest day for - (stop it, stop it right now - Ed.) Two down, one to go and Chris, David and Gary have much to discuss after a week that began smack in the middle of France and ended knocking like a new salesman at the front door of the Alps. Speaking of Alps, the team also looks breathlessly ahead to a final week that serves up a generous portion of the things, but only after a none-too trifling aperitif against the clock. 📸 Even the Cannibal needed a day off, but this one is particularly notable. The second rest day of the 1975 Tour came immediately after THAT stage on the Puy du Dome when Merckx was punched by a spectator while leading the race. Merckx finished third that day, losing over 30s to Bernard Thevenet and would cede the Maillot Jaune to the Frenchman on the following stage.  (Jean-Pierre Prevel/Getty) Get in touch Drop us a line at cyclinglegendspodcast@gmail.com!

    Tales from the Tour de France

    Denmark is one of modern cycling's superpower nations but it wasn't always that way. For the first part of the Tour de France's history, Danish riders barely featured at all. In this second Tales from the Tour de France, Chris Sidwells tells a tale of pioneering, determination, and redemption that began in 1913.

    No rest day for the wicked (didn't we use that one last year? - Ed) as the team look back on the first week of this year's Grande Boucle. From Barca to Ussel, it's been a battle against the clock, against the Pyrenees and (probably) against the blazers. And there's another fortnight where that came from. Magnifique! 📸 This year’s Barcelona Grand Depart is only the third time that the Tour has begun in Spain. The first was in San Sebastián in 1992 where reigning champion Miguel Indurain (pictured) took a hotly contested prologue ahead of Alex Zulle.

    Cycling Family Trees Episode 2 - Rabobank

    In this episode of Cycling Family Trees, we trace the remarkable Rabobank lineage: from Jan Raas’s post–TI-Raleigh breakaway and the Kwantum roots of the 1980s, through Rabobank’s rise as the great Dutch talent factory, to its collapse amid cycling’s doping reckoning and its rebirth as the powerhouse now known as Team Visma | Lease a Bike. Along the way, we follow the men’s and women’s branches of the story — from Michael Boogerd, Erik Dekker, Óscar Freire and Denis Menchov to Marianne Vos, Anna van der Breggen, Annemiek van Vleuten, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, Primož Roglič, Wout van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard — and ask how one of cycling’s most complicated family trees became one of its most successful. 🎵 Hampus Naeselius, courtesy of Epidemic Sound.

    Birth(day)s, deaths and marriages! Welcome to the evening edition of your local newspaper. Thankfully cycling content is a-plenty as Chris, David and Gary cast their eyes over another fascinating few weeks in pro cycling. 📸 The Dauphiné Libéré (okay, the Tour Auvergne - Rhône-Alpes, if you must) is often seen as a Tour de France indicator, yet in 78 editions only 12 Dauphiné winners have taken the Maillot Jaune in July. The first was Louison Bobet, pictured embracing first wife Christiane after the 1955 finish in Grenoble. Already a two-time Tour winner, Bobet later earned praise from race founder Georges Cazeneuve for “haloing the race with prestige”.

    Cycling Family Trees Episode 1 - Peugeot

    Every cycling team has a story. In this series, we’ll dig into the teams that made cycling what it is: the dynasties, the cult squads, the superteams, the survivors, and the vanished names that still echo through the peloton today. We’ll look at where they came from, who built them, what they won, what they changed — and what grew from them after the final finish line In this first episode, Gary Fairley explores the extraordinary history of the Peugeot cycling team - one of the most influential and successful teams the sport has ever known. From the earliest Tours de France to the modern peloton, Peugeot helped shape professional cycling through legendary riders including Eddy Merckx, Tom Simpson and Bernard Thévenet. Gary follows the team’s evolution through the Roger Legeay years, from Z and GAN to Crédit Agricole, tracing a remarkable lineage that lasted more than a century. A story of innovation, champions, iconic jerseys and lasting legacy - this is the family tree of Peugeot. 🎵 Hampus Naeselius, courtesy of Epidemic Sound.
