A high-speed Stage 7, a heartbreaking crash, and a spotlight on the growing rise of African cycling — all in today’s SBS Cycling Podcast.


In today’s SBS Cycling Podcast, we broke down a lightning-fast Stage 7, where the peloton pushed an insane early pace and never gave the breakaway a real chance.

The tension was constant, and every move felt like it could change the day. A late crash just 6km from the finish brought heartbreak, especially with Jack Haig’s withdrawal — a tough blow for fans and his team alike. We took a moment to reflect on his impact and the cruel nature of the sport.

We also focus on African cycling and the rise of the sport in the continent.
