Pogačar’s dominance, Vingegaard’s new playbook, and rising stars in the women's peloton.


This week, the SBS cycling podcast team dives deep into the action-packed Criterium du Dauphiné. The crew dissect the impressive performances of Tadej Pogačar, whose explosive start of the race and his sky-high win rate have made him the rider to watch.

The conversation heats up around Jonas Vingegaard and the shifting tactics of Jumbo-Visma. With Vingegaard’s aggressive moves potentially signalling a bold new strategy, the team debates whether this could be the winning formula to topple Pogačar. The tactical mind games are already underway, and every attack seems to carry Tour-level significance.

The podcast also discusses the Tour of Britain and the rise of talents like Ally Wollaston, as well as the importance of the upcoming Tour de Suisse, and the return of Sarah Gigante.
