Summary

Lance, George, Sir Bradley Wiggins, and Spencer Martin (aka “The Professor”) break down Kaden Groves’ stunning solo victory from the breakaway on a tough and rain-soaked Stage 20 of the 2025 Tour de France. They dive into how rare it is for a pure sprinter to win solo, how Alpecin-Deceuninck continues to punch above its weight with smart strategy and timing, and why riders are still risking it all in bunch sprints for minor GC placings. The crew also previews the unusual, modified final stage in Paris and answers a few listener questions to close out the day.
