Summary

Luke's joined by Ben Swift today to reflect on his emotional Tour of Britain alongside G. Swifty was there to see him over the line in Cardiff and made it to the end of 'stage seven' intact as well. He's not finished racing for the year - and he hopes to carry on into 2026. We wish Swifty well! Over at the Vuelta, big Pippo Ganna earned our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day for his excellent win in the stage 17 TT - and all eyes are on Tom Pidcock this weekend. Can he earn his first Grand Tour podium? We'll be back next week to debrief it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
