The Brothers Spin | Tour Thoughts, London Nocturne, and the World Cup

The third episode of The Brothers Spin - a spin-off show from 4 THE LOVE OF POG - sees brothers Matthew and Lawrence continuing the cycling chat - this time while actually riding their bikes, or does it....? They get stuck into the big issues so far in this year's Tour de France - Pog's hair and those awful TT helmets. Lawrence brings us his 'review' of the London Nocturne, and they return (yet again) to the latest developments about the 'cycle route at the end of Matthew's road.' There's quite a bit about the World Cup. And they finally tell their Chris Morris story.

Pee-gate

After banging on about World Cup 2026 squad announcement videos, Matthew, Lawrence, and Steve talk mostly about the racing (and peeing) at the 2026 Giro d'Italia. Matthew 'reviews' the new Lime Bike and Steve ponders buying a Brompton (probably) through the Cycle to Work scheme. There's no 'Thought for Tadej' this time. And EF Education First's Giro kit gets the Kit Crit/Crush treatment. Get in touch X @4theloveofpog [https://twitter.com/4theloveofpog]

Be still my beating Aert - WOWt!

After passing brief judgement on the Hungarian election result, and in what many might consider a lacklustre performance [sorry], Matthew, Lawrence, Andy, and Steve talk mostly about Wout van Aert's win in the sensational 2026 edition of Paris-Roubaix. They also bang on a bit about some other races and riders too, including Pog at Flanders, obvs. There's yet another update on the 'cycle route at the end of Matthew's road' and he reels off yet more alternative race names. Plus, Andy loses his way a bit talking about Albert Bridge. Get in touch X @4theloveofpog [https://twitter.com/4theloveofpog]

Pog v Pidders at Milan Sanremo

After going on a bit about whether or not Donald Trump is Bored of Peace, Matthew, Lawrence, and Steve talk mostly about the amazing battle between Pog and Pidders at Milan Sanremo. There's yet another update on the 'cycle route at the end of Matthew's road'. 'Thought for Tadej' is about whether he will return to MSR for 2027. It's the turn of Team Polti Visit Malta to get the Kit Crit/Crush treatment. And in a shocking revelation, Lawrence outs himself as the anti-social cyclist.
