Merlier gets a hat trick and Lidl goes "bananas"

Seixas *is* one of the big dogs!

Turns out, the phenom may in fact be... phenomenal. Even Bailey had to do a mea culpa after Paul Seixas rode with the big dogs today, and even bested Jonas on the line! The hosts also disagree over how "good" Visma looked today and whether Del Toro is Pogacar's Achille's heel. The GC battle is not disappointing at this year's Tour de France!

Can Pidcock podium??

The chronically underestimated Tom Pidcock did not win today's stage, but he did catapult himself up into a now very-crowded top 10 all vying for the podium. And the way Visma is riding... Second place is absolutely up for grabs. Brenda and Bailey continue their losing streak on predictions and applaud some incredible teamwork from Jayco and Pinarello in today's Tour de France Stage 13 win for the breakaway (finally!)

Merlier gets a hat trick and Lidl goes "bananas"

It's the dog days of the 2026 Tour de France and things are getting... bananas? Merlier gets the sprint (nothing new there). Must be nice to have those legs. Brenda and Bailey are as confused as everyone else about these sprint rules, but are big fans of all these breakaway heroes keeping the boredom away! This weekend's blockbuster stages are sure to light up the GC race, but for now, we're breaking down the breakaway drought (...get it?) and looking forward to another chance tomorrow!

Jonas wants to quit his job

Brenda and Bailey break down a very exciting Stage 10 of this year's Tour de France. This is where the rubber meets the road, friends, and we saw lots of unexpected winners and losers. (Not the stage winner, obviously that was Tadej Pogacar.) But Jonas had a terrible day and an ever terribler attitude, and the youngsters behind him smell blood in the water. Bailey has almost turned around on Paul Seixas, and Brenda's pre-Tour podium picks are looking better and better...

Superstar wins the stage (not the one you're thinking of)

Mathieu van der Poel pulls Alpecin's Tour de France out of the toilet, and delivers a masterclass in breakaway wins. Brenda and Bailey break down Stage 9 of this year's Tour de France. It was hot and chaotic, with a lot of suspect tactics. Everyone needs a rest day, pronto! Including your hosts! We'll see you on Tuesday!
