Summary

Ronan, Kit, and Abby join Jonny to discuss Jonas Vingegaard's recent, slightly explosive comments that other teams are using carbon monoxide for performance gains (if only someone else had reported that could be a possibility ey, Ronan) while Visma-Lease a Bike also officially decommission its Control Van.

Elsewhere, Abby talks us through a surprising women's edition of the Tour Down Under, while Matt is on the ground for us in Adelaide at both TDUs to set the scene for us.

Finally, we react to the news Ineos Grenadiers are looking for another sponsor in January, which doesn't seem to bode too well for the British team, and there's something funny going on with the Paris Olympics' medals.
