108. Carlton Kirby: Tour de France 2024 Special

This week James and Will are joined by Carlton Kirby, Eurosport's voice of the Tour de France. In this episode, Carlton looks ahead to the Tour de France 2024, and talks us through the course, all the crucial stages, the likely turning points and the surprise heroes. We discuss the inside track on Cavendish's chances of beating the Merckx record; who will triumph between Pogačar and Vingegaard (but listen out for a surprise contender); if could it come down to the wire on the last day's time-trial; how to make a few quid with some outside bets; and why Bernard Hinault has beef with Eddy Merckx.

This one's a long one, but so's three weeks in France. So take your helmet off, put the kettle on and get ready... the Tour is coming! And Carlton's here to explain it all.

Interview begins at 6.25
