Stage 21: That's a wrap
The end of the Tour de France. Tadej Pogačar is now a three-time champion and the first to do the Giro/Tour double since Pantani. Caley, Jonny, Iain, and Ronan talk through the biggest storylines of the month, plus a bit of tech from the paddocks in Monaco.
Thank you to everyone who listened along this month, we hope you enjoyed this Tour as much as we did. -

Stage 17: He can't help himself
The Tour Daily crew breaks down a stage 17 that finally saw a breakaway stage winner in the mountains – but that still featured attacks from Tadej Pogačar. Plus, the crew ponders whether someone on the Internet actually has special insight into what goes on behind the scenes at UAE.

Stage 16: Why'd you have to be so Nîmes?
Jasper Philipse edged closer to the green jersey as Biniam Girmay suffered a nasty crash, and we're about to head back into the Alps for a tough end to this Tour de France. Caley, Jonny, and Iain discuss all that plus a very flat rat, some live-on-TV swearing, carbon monoxide, and Cav's last sprint stage.

Customer Reviews
Made me feel like I was there!
Thanks for covering the sights, sounds, and tastes of Le Tour. You guys are great together with your quirky observations and wit. Love it!!
How did the bike industry get into deep trouble?
I worked in purchasing at one of the company’s mentioned many times in these episodes. Throughout summer 2020 I heard company leadership repeatedly say this was the new normal in the bike industry. I even heard the term “bicycle renaissance” thrown around. The directive was that purchasing needed to order everything they could. It didn’t matter what it was, but it. Those of us who spoke up saying this wasn’t going to last were shut down. I quit at the end of 2020 because I thought the inventory issues were going to come to a head in 2021. I was a year early.
Mostly blather
I’ve never heard so much blather with so few insights in a single podcast. Wow.
