Summary

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast, we review two big gala events that took place in Paris this week - the Vélo d’Or awards ceremony and the presentation of the 2024 Tour de France routes.

Daniel Friebe is joined by veteran reporter and resident francophile François Thomazeau plus top commentator Rob Hatch to give our verdict on the Vélo d’Or voting panel’s decisions - and on two Tour de France routes, men’s and women’s, that pack an awful lot of ingredients into what look like a pair of exceedingly rich cakes.

Finally, we resume last week’s conversation about seasoned pros who find themselves jobless at the end of the 2023 campaign. After Tsgabu Grmay last week, it’s Joe Dombrowski’s turn to tell us about his fight to stay alive in the WorldTour.

0:27.9	to pretend in a minute.
0:29.1	October 25th the 108th anniversary of the Battle of Agincourt or Azzancourt were King Henry
0:35.9	the 5th of England routed French troops and indeed reportedly killed around 6,000 of them
0:41.2	in 1415 and which Mark Cavendish rather dubiously claimed he was referring to when he celebrated
0:47.8	a stage victory in the 2010 tour to the Hormon D with a two-fingered salute. Cavendish
0:53.6	later pointing out that he was merely mimicking the French archers at Agincourt who after the
0:59.7	French cut off two fingers and a thumb on each of their hands held up their remaining digits in

1:51.6	I'm not very good with a bow or an archer. I've never been much of an archer but even darts
1:58.2	I'm bad at darts so I wouldn't we wouldn't have been good in Azzancourt as we say but I'm here.
2:03.3	Azzancourt. Yeah. The confusion champs. The confusion about the dates or the day. Is it today or is
2:10.1	it yesterday? We did have a first go at recording this podcast yesterday on October the 25th.
2:17.4	Lionel Bernie was present for that recording however there was a bit of a technical hiccup
