Ep 104: Where Will Tadej Pogačar Finish at Paris-Roubaix? 01 Apr 202500:47:58

The world champion has dominated the headlines over the past month – crashing, winning, finishing third at Milan-San Remo and signing up for his debut Paris-Roubaix. The Toms look back on all the cycling in March, asking whether the Classics have become more dangerous, if Lorena Wiebes deserves more credit as one of the all-time greats, and if Matthew Brennan's nickname really is the 'Binman' (spoiler: it's not). They then cast their predictions for the upcoming cobbled Monuments – the Tour of Flanders and Paris-Roubaix – where Tom 2 believes Mathieu van der Poel will fire blanks.

Ep 103: Why Opening Weekend Was Better Than You Thought, Plus Rogue Predictions for Strade Bianche04 Mar 202500:45:15

The first few months of the year are meant to be calm in the cycling world, but we’ve had cancelled races, dramatic wrong turns, and some shock winners at big races. The Toms dissect the breakaway's success at Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, before pondering the prospect of Tadej Pogačar riding Paris-Roubaix, and the positive trend of riders taking a stance for their own safety. They then look ahead to this weekend's Strade Bianche, and give their rogue predictions for who could upset the two favourites.

Ep 102: Six Bold Predictions for the 2025 Cycling Season05 Feb 202500:36:12

After a decent success rate last year, the Toms are back gazing into the crystal ball with some bold predictions for 2025. Among the clairvoyance, a French pocket rocket is slated for big success, the stars align for a historic one-two at the Giro d'Italia, and Lotte Kopecky is tipped to achieve greatness. Plus, might we see a British Monument winner this April? Tom 1 thinks so, and is even happy to go as far as calling the rider-race combo he envisages in his mind.

Ep 101: The Mark Cavendish Special09 Jan 202500:56:03

Tom 2 is put through his paces in a Mastermind-style Cav quiz, before the legacy of the Tour de France stage win record holder is discussed. Is he really the cycling GOAT, as Virgil van Dijk dubbed him?

The Toms sit down to discuss the "generational" victory, Pogačar's secret power data, and the wider importance of time trials at Grand Tours.

There's time for a game of 'Who Came Second?' before finally, a brief look ahead to the Giro d'Italia, and the narratives to look out for in Italy. Will Tadej Pogačar storm his way to the pink jersey? Or will a certain Colombian pip him to it for a 10-year anniversary win? Let's be real, probably the former.

There’s no better way to kick off 2024 than by putting our reputations on the line with some wild predictions for the upcoming road season. It's three shouts from Tom 1, three from Tom 2, and a lot of questions about each other's reasoning. Whisper it quietly, but could this be the year Visma-Lease a Bike don't win a Grand Tour?
