A Time trial full of surprises in Caen


In the latest episode of the SBS Cycling Podcast, Christophe & Macka take you through the thrills of Stage 5 of the Tour de France, set along a route buzzing with fans. We break down the key moments of the day, with Remco Evenepoel stealing the spotlight thanks to his superb time trial performance.

We dive into whether Remco could’ve taken even more time, considering his world-class ability against the clock. We also hear from Ben O’Connor, who spoke to us about bouncing back after a rough start and how he’s approaching the rest of the race with renewed focus and determination.

Another standout moment for us was Luke Plapp’s first Tour de France time trial—he landed a top 10! We loved his attacking mindset. As we wrap up the episode, we look ahead to Stage 6 and share our thoughts on the climbs, the weather, and who might shake things up next.
