Summary

This week’s episode features a comprehensive look back at the last monument of the season, Il Lombardia, and the latest example of Tadej Pogačar in just his latest annus mirabilis.

Daniel Friebe, Lionel Birnie and Rob Hatch also reflect on Thibaut Pinot’s very noisy and memorable farewell, plus the full-stop on a few other notable careers last weekend. There’s also the latest on the merger that apparently will now never be, between Jumbo-Visma and Soudal-Quickstep. The former’s most decorated alumnus, Primož Roglič, is of course on his way to Bora-Hansgrohe, and their team boss, Ralph Denk tells us how he got his man.
