Summary

Welcome back to Spin Cycle, your twice-weekly dose of the biggest stories in cycling. Now on Fridays too!

In this episode, we dive into the swirling rumors around the Tour de France potentially incorporating the iconic Montmartre climb into the final stage. Could this shake up the iconic Champs-Élysées sprint finish? Or would it just be window dressing?

Next, Richard Plugge has responded to criticism of his One Cycling project. We dissect his arguments, examine the potential impact on traditional races, and discuss whether this radical new format could truly revolutionize the sport.

Also in the show: Rigoberto Uran's surprising foray into professional football, the bizarre Giro d'Italia route presentation, and RCS's demands for star riders in exchange for wildcard entries. Tune in for all the latest news, analysis, and, as always, our signature dose of Friday vibes.
