How many times will we say Tadej Pogacar is victorious on the road in 2024 - no more - the season is over as the Slovenian blows everyone away in Lombardia. Is road racing now the battle for second or even third when he’s racing? No Tom Pidcock present - has he thrown his toys out the pram one too many times at INEOS Grenadiers?! We have a big old chat on what's not been working for the Brit...

It’s a Dutch domination at the Gravel Worlds as Marianne Vos and Mathieu van der Poel take gold. How much gravel do you need for a gravel race and should more events take in multi-story car parks?  Looking at the finish photos from Paris-Tour - should that be called a gravel race instead?!  There’s deja vu at Giro dell'emilia as Tadej Pogacar takes the win with a strikingly similar attac...

Could we see Jonas Vingegaard at the Giro d'Italia? Would he be up against Pogacar?? And more news - could we see a Slovenian super-team at the World Championships in Tadej Pogacar together with Primoz Roglic?? Sanny and Katy team up to discuss the news so far this week.

There's turmoil at INEOS, with some explosive comments from Tom Pidcock, and, after the 2024 ToB looked in doubt...

Primoz Roglic looks good in red doesn't he? A third maillot rojo for the Slovenian after overtaking Ben O'Connor in the General Classification in the week and bringing it home for the time trial. Sanny and Katy reflect on a crazy week of racing and on O'Connor's achievements to come second, Jay Vine to take the mountain jersey and a moment to savour for Stage 21 winner Stefan Kung.

Ride along in real time with Anna McEwen and Saint Piran with DS and ex-pro Chris Lawless and 'Viking Glenn' the mechanic.

Sanny and Katy return to preview Week 3 of the Vuelta a Espana - in an episode that was so big, it had to be chopped in half... well not quite half. Lots of analysis and discussion of what we could expect going into the third week. Can Ben O'Connor hold on or, more likely when will Roglic and co keep chipping away at him and Decathlon and officially take the Red Jersey by? And what the hell do we...

It's Tour of Britain Eve and Sanny and Katy are back!! Here's your bumper preview with thoughts on all the teams, the state of play with road racing in Britain and the course itself.

Will...

An emotional end for Jonas Vingegard once he crosses the line and reflections on those at the back of the peloton and the front. Richard Carapaz is in polka dots but does the King of the M...

Stage 18 was another day for the break, and there was plenty of attacking as the race headed into the Alps. With a huge group up the road, who would take the honours, on possibly the last opportunity before the race heads into the big mountains for the finale of this year's race? And would the peloton finally sit back and take a day off? Josef Murray steps in for Sanny to review all the action on...

Stage 17 has everything, everywhere, all at once! Richard Carapaz breaks the breakaway and Simon Yates along the way to win his first ever Tour de France stage and complete the Grand Tour set. What about Pogacar's big attack on Vingegaard and then Remco Evenepoel's salvo for 10 seconds? Was the psychological point-scoring worth more than the time gained? Speaking of points, Biniam Girmay looks lik...
