    A slow ride through Italy

    Brenda and Bailey break down the first (sleepy) week of the 2026 Giro D'Italia including some dramatic crashes, the debut Grand Tour for the wacky Unibet Rose Rockets, and Visma hanging out at the back of the Peloton just chillaxing. Here's hoping the 2nd week is a little spicier!

    Is 19 the new 27?

    "Ancient" Tadej Pogacar gently reminds the young phenom Paul Seixas that he's the GOAT for a reason. The end of the Spring cycling season was a snoozefest, until is wasn't! Brenda and Bailey break down Amstel Gold, Fleche Wallone, and Liege-Bastogne-Liege including their appreciation for winners who chug a beer on the podium and domestiques who work so hard they can't even finish the race! Onward to the Grand Tours!

    A good day in hell

    Brenda and Bailey break down the 2026 Paris-Roubaix "Hell of the North" race where even Tadej Pogacar admitted taking the victory was "mission impossible." While they may have lost track of the number of flat tires... Brenda and Bailey were thrilled to see Wout Van Aert back in full form on the cobbles! Bailey is hoping the Shimano executives aren't too upset about Tadej's assessment of their neutral service bicycles, and Brenda is hoping the mechanics all get a quiet week after all of those wheel and bike changes.

    The Fab Five at Flanders

    Brenda and Bailey break down the 2026 Tour of Flanders race (Ronde van Vlaanderen) including a stacked start list of five of the sport's best riders: Pogacar, Van der Poel, Van Aert, Pedersen, and Evenepoel. And they delivered! Pogacar won (of course) but the rest gave him a run for their money. Brenda has questions about how the rest of the "Fab 5" should feel about their seasons after today's race, and Bailey's just miffed that Evenepoel made the podium.

    Is crashing Pogacar's secret weapon?

    Brenda and Bailey break down the 2026 Milan-San Remo monument classic, including Brenda's uncharacteristically hot take that Pogacar crashing is actually his secret weapon... Despite the win by the GOAT cycling, Pogacar, this race was one for the underdogs like Wout Van Aert, Tom Pidcock, and Mads Pedersen who returned just a month after breaking his wrist and collarbone. The most exciting race of the year yet!

    Vingegaard's rip-off stripper pants raise eyebrows

    Hosts (and mother-daughter) Brenda and Bailey break down key races and news from the start of the 2026 men's road cycling season. Including, some very unconventional fashion choices that could only be the brainchild of one Victor Campenaerts... Poor Jonas and his "pre-cut" overalls. Brenda also explains why Omloop matters and defends Team Time Trials. Then they break down a very predictable Strade Bianche (surprise! Pogacar wins!), the bloodshed that occurred at Paris-Nice, and whether Del Toro is too nice to be a champion at Tirreno-Adriatico.
