    Tom Pidcock's only gone and finished on a Grand Tour podium | Watts Occurring
    Sep 15 2025
    Yes, that's right: Tom Pidcock's done it. In the midst of his varied and incredibly successful career, people had begun to doubt if Tom would ever finish on a Grand Tour podium. Not anymore. Luke and G were amongst them, but they're delighted to have a slice of humble pie on today's pod. Fair play, Tom. Of course, Jonas Vingegaard's done the business and won another Grand Tour. How long can he stay at the top? And will second placed Joao Almeida ever win one? Then of course, there's the all important British Gravel Champs to discuss. Did Swifty win? Well, yes - but which one? Conor or Ben? Listen to find out. See you next week for some big worlds chat. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    Sep 12 2025
    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
