BBC Sounds, Music, radio, podcasts.

They're on a journey into the unknown.

We've got a checkpoint to get to.

Hey, stop, stop the race.

If you're loving race across the world,

then unpack every episode on our brand new video podcast with me, Tyler West.

Lean into the side, but you can't speed through two miles an hour so everybody sees you.

Or someone better.

One thing I can guarantee is this.

The British Lighthearted Sports Panel Association governing body, that's Blisper,

have taken a long look at what the French and German Football Authority have done

with their teams playing in Europe, resting them to avoid burnout.

And Blisper, in their wisdom, have decided to give me next weekend off

so I can just focus on the big finale on the 23rds.
