Kathi, Midge,, and Euan gather round the table to pull apart the first full week of the 2023 Tour de France. It’s been a ding-dong battle at the top of the GC race with thrills and swings aplenty. They discuss:

• Who wins between Pog and Jonas?
• Do their teams understand tactics?
• Mark Cavendish‘s sad goodbye to the Tour
• We sing the praises of the fast men AND the riders who just stop!

Plus Midge wants a word with the UCI about motor racing circuits, Kathi waxes lyrical about her beloved Wout van Aert and Euan notices one team that seemingly isn’t trying.
