Today we had a second sprint stage--a chance for redemption for the teams who got caught up in the hectic finale a couple days ago. It also a chance to talk about the persistent heat, and failures of the race to protect the riders, and Remco, who continues to embarrass himself in the press.

The Tourmalet never disappoints! Big action that I'll not spoil here, but will of course spoil in the video itself. That's how it works.

Today we suffered through our first sprint stage, which didn't go as planned for the organizers or the sprinters...

A stage that could have been a breakaway or a sprint day on paper turned into an exciting race within the race, with a new yellow jersey awarded and textbook stage win.

Really an exciting stage today, with a finish in Barcelona that would shut up any doubters that might still be out there.

Exciting Stage in Barcelona to Start the 2026 Tour de France!

I do the main Tour de France podcast solo to speed up editing, so it was fun to have a guest for the preview episode with Tom Danielson. We get into predictions for Tadej, Jonas, and Seixas, teams and their goals going in, rosters, and key stages (that you might not expect).
