THE DAILY TOUR PODCAST

A DEBRIEF EVERY RACE DAY

Through the three weeks, Anthony records a short daily breakdown of the stage — the decisive move, the watts behind it, and what a serious amateur takes to the bike from it. Each one lands on its stage page the evening of the race, and the latest sits right here.

DAILY DEBRIEFSaturday 4 July

Stage 1 Debrief — Barcelona to Barcelona

Anthony breaks down the time trial — who paced it, who lost the Tour against the clock, and what it tells you about your own efforts.

A HUNDRED YEARS OF HARD

TOUR HISTORY, THROUGH A TRAINING LENS

MERCKX · 1969–1974

Eddy Merckx: The Anatomy of the Cannibal

Five Tours, 525 wins, and an engine the lab could barely measure. What the most dominant rider in history teaches a time-crunched amateur — and what his early burnout warns against.

HINAULT · 1978–1986

Bernard Hinault: The Badger and the Art of Peaking

The last Frenchman to win the Tour didn't race everything — he picked his battles and arrived ready. The case for peaking, for the amateur who can't be in form all year.

INDURAIN · 1991–1995

Miguel Indurain: The Engine Room

A resting heart rate in the high twenties, lungs like bellows, and five straight Tours won at metronomic threshold. Big Mig is the masters athlete's case study in the aerobic engine.

THE ROADMAN ANGLE

EVERY STAGE IS A TRAINING LESSON

We’re not here to recap the racing — the whole peloton’s press corps does that. We’re here for what every Roadman listener actually wants: what does each stage demand, and how do you build it?

A team time trial is a pacing-and-turn-taking exam your chaingang sits every weekend. A summit finish rewards the rider who held their power number instead of chasing wheels. The queen stage on Alpe d’Huez is fatigue resistance made visible — the capacity to keep producing watts when you’re already deeper than you’ve ever been. Each stage page connects the day to the science and the sessions behind it.
