Summary

Lance, George, Sir Bradley Wiggins, and Spencer Martin (aka “The Professor”) discuss Tim Wellens’ incredible solo ride to drop his breakaway companions, including American Quinn Simmons, and win Stage 15 of the Tour de France ahead of a hard-chasing group behind. They break down how the frantic, high-speed stage further shifted the battle for the Green Jersey, and what Jonas Vingegaard being forced to chase back on after an early crash—while his Visma teammates drove the pace at the front—reveals about the team’s rapidly changing priorities. Before signing off, they take a few listeners’ questions and give their picks for Tuesday's finish atop the iconic Mont Ventoux.
