In this week’s podcast episode, we hear from Peter Sagan, Nicholas Roche and Tom Dumoulin, while we also have an exclusive interview with George Bennett from Jumbo Visma. 

We debate the merits of the Team Ineos Tour de France squad and the possible implications of leaving both Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas at home on the sofa. We analyse the depth within Jumbo-Visma, and ask whether Ineos are rattled by the Dutch team’s recent performances.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
