Summary
This episode of the Spin Cycle Podcast focuses on the latest developments in the Tom Pidcock saga. Caley, Jonny, and Kit discuss rumors of his potential move to Q36.5, a second-tier team. What are the implications of the move for Pidcock's career? Is there potential for Q36.5 to rise in the ranks of professional cycling with a billionaire backer and Doug Ryder at the helm? We dissect the media frenzy surrounding Pidcock's withdrawal from Il Lombardia and the lack of clear communication from Ineos.
In the second half of the show, the crew analyze Tadej Pogačar's dominant season, culminating in his victory at Il Lombardia. Is dominance boring? We polled our members and most don't think so.

| 0:57.1 | So the thing that I can exclusively reveal, |
| 1:00.1 | but which again has been widely reported, |
| 1:02.3 | so not so exclusive, is that we do know we're very sure |
| 1:07.0 | for reasons that I wish I could explain but I cannot that Q3-, a second tier team, |
| 1:14.4 | is quite far along in their, I guess sort of approach |
