Summary

In our final episode before the Tour de France Richard Moore, Daniel Friebe and François Thomazeau preview the race before the Grand Départ in Brittany this weekend.

Mark Cavendish is one of several surprise selections – we discuss his late inclusion in the Deceuninck-Quick-step team at the expense of Sam Bennett.

We also look ahead to stage one, asking who that will suit – Daniel picks 18 candidates. We unveil our four audio diarists – two Belgians, a Brit and an Australian, riding for Belgian, South African and French teams.

And we look back at some of last weekend's national road race championships.
