Tadej Pogačar has won his historic fourth Tour de France, but was the real story the revolutionary and chaotic final stage on the cobbles of Montmartre? We break down one of the most exciting finales in recent memory and ask if this new route should be here to stay.
On this week’s GCN Racing News Show, we wrap up the final week of the fastest-ever Tour de France, including Wout Van Aert’s epic win and a look at the final GC standings. We also dive into Pogačar’s uncharacteristic fatigue and his surprising comments about retirement after the Los Angeles Olympics.
Plus, we cover the action-packed opening stages of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, say a fond farewell to Geraint Thomas’s Tour career, and round up the news from the Tour de Wallonie and the MTB European Championships.
