Lord have mercy! It’s the vice episode! Drugs are back, tell a friend. Or at least biological passport anomalies are back. Is illegal betting the next bad thing for pro cycling? We wouldn’t bet against it (badoom-tsh!). Plus six-day racing, Euro cyclocross and recommendations to generally make your life better.📸 The end of the road season historically meant the end of regular earnings for a few months, so many riders headed to the velodrome and the lucrative six-day circuit.

Okay, but quite a bit of Tadej Pogacar. In other news, we begin the campaign for Remco Evenepoel’s assault on the Hour Record, Quinn Simmons impresses us once again, there is no ‘you’ in team according to the Dutch women’s gravel squad and - speaking of squads - just what is the link between Eddy Merckx

Dali! Hemingway! Picasso! Er, Elton John! Things get surreal as the Vuelta a Espana heads to Salvador Dali country, and little - if any - of it is related to the racing of bicycles. Doncaster celebrates a Grand Tour victory, presumably while Visma Lease-a-Bike were too busy filling in the insurance paperwork after their entire fleet of race bikes evaporated so we wonder just how hard can it be to fit a decent bike lock. Almost as hard as fitting a GPS tracking device in Romandie, it would

France is still where it’s at as David, Chris and Gary look back on another historic Tour de France Femmes, but is the race grand enough not only for its name but for the women who light it up every summer? We have thoughts! Red Bull Remco Evenepoel opens our perennial salary cap discussion and we start passing the envelope around for Tadej Pogacar’s retirement collection.

Stunned by actually calling the second week’s play correctly, the team are both full of admiration for the Rumena Majica and just a little bit full of themselves. Collective back-slapping aside, Chris, David and Gary try to remember the last 5 stages while simultaneously keeping one eye on the Tour's upcoming final week. Whither Remco Evenepoel? Whither Jonas Vingegaard? And should pro cyclists have a 15 minute time-out between finishing a stage and speaking to the media? Lidl-Trek probably think
