Welcome back to the spin cycle podcast.

I'm Johnny Long.

Today on the show, a great start for the 2027 Tour de France

and for the Tour Down Under as well, this year's Tour Down Under.

He's working, immediately.

He's working.

He's going to be on the ground for Toronto.

We might be getting a special episode from those guys on Thursday, Friday this week.
