In the latest SBS Cycling Podcast, Christophe Mallet and Dave McKenzie dive into the drama of Stage 15 of the Tour de France, held in scenic Carcassonne.
The spotlight was firmly on Tim Wellens, who claimed a stunning and tactical victory—his first ever Tour stage win. Wellens masterfully timed his effort, playing possum in the breakaway before launching a decisive attack that left his rivals behind.
Meanwhile, Julian Alaphilippe experienced a heartbreaking moment of misjudgement, prematurely celebrating what he thought was a win, only to finish third.
The episode also turned its attention to the Aussies, with Michael Storer earning high praise for his aggressive riding, which secured him the most combative rider award. His efforts, following a busy Giro d’Italia, showcased his grit and potential.
Kaden Groves also received a mention for his continued efforts, keeping the Australian flag flying high. An exclusive interview with Mauro Gianetti of UAE Team Emirates added valuable perspective, as he reflected on Wellens’ win and the delicate balance between team strategies and individual ambition.
Christophe also met and had a chat with Cadel Evans, Stuart O'Grady, Andy & Fränk Schleck.
