Summary
There was a stage win for Mathieu van der Poel before his Alpecin-Fenix team had to withdraw after a staff member tested positive for Covid-19. As expected, Filippo Ganna won the time trial with Tour de France champion Tadej Pogacar taking the leader's jersey before strengthening his position by winning the stage to Jabel Hafeet ahead of Adam Yates.
But what colour is the leader's jersey? That's the burning question posed by Daniel.
We also discuss the curious case of Marc Hirschi's transfer and the NDA and in the final part there's a subject that is sure to divide people. No, not Slow Radio (although there is that too), but an look at the impact Brexit is having on the careers of British cyclists, and particularly young riders, now freedom of movement is no longer a right for UK citizens.

| 0:21.8 | It's funny. |
| 0:22.7 | I haven't really looked much outside of our sport. |
| 0:28.6 | But it is certainly interesting to note |
| 0:35.6 | the achievements of guys like Valverde. |
| 0:37.6 | I mean, he's touching on 40 and still very pointy |
| 0:41.2 | end of the race. |
| 0:43.1 | So I mean, it's definitely motivating |
| 0:46.3 | to see that it's still possible. |
| 0:49.1 | I think it's very much a sort of a mental decision |
| 0:51.6 | if you're still prepared to make all those sacrifices |
| 0:53.9 | and you're still prepared to spend the time on the road |
| 0:57.0 | and the way from family and everything else. |
