In our first episode since the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes, Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss are joined by Brian Nygaard to recap a busy week of racing during this in-between period before attention turns to the third and final grand tour of the season, the Vuelta a España, gets underway later this month.
The week's news has been dominated by the confirmation that Remco Evenepoel will leave Soudal-Quick Step before the end of his contract, transferring to the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe squad at the end of the year. What does it mean for Remco, but also his current and future teams?
We recap the racing from the Clasica San Sebastian to the Tour of Poland plus events in northern Spain and France. Then we look back to the Tour de France and get Brian's perspective on Jonas Vingegaard's performance. The Dane is the outstanding favourite for a Pogačar-free Vuelta but is it time for him to accept that the Tour is out of his reach unless the Slovenian is absent?
