This week, we're diving into Tadej Pogačar and the UAE Tour! 🚴‍♂️💥 Pogačar went on an inexplicable attack. Tactically, it made no sense—so what was the reason? Is it possible he was worried about detraining? Looking at last week's UAE Tour, that just might be the case...

Plus, Si & Dan talk new tech, Dan's Manchester to London ride, how it’s never too late to ride, & much more!
