Chris Froome said his yellow jersey would “stand the test of time”, but we also had Peter Sagan with a green wig and beard and Nairo Quintana covered in pox. Chris, Kathi and Tim look back wistfully at the 100th Tour de France and ponder life without a daily dose of roadside cows and sweeping aerial shots of chateaux.

It’s Sagan not “Saigon” and Movistar not Movie Star. On another note – Great discussion and thanks for the insights…..
Thanks. As we often admit on the podcast, pronunciation isn’t our strongest suit. But we try!
Of course, it’s not even Movistar, is it, as it should be a ‘b’ sound. Given what the company does, Mobi-star suddenly makes sense!
Tim,
This was my first podcast listen, but there will be many more. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback. You’ll find all previous episodes on iTunes and the blog. Generally we record every two weeks, weekly during the grand tours.
