Suisse is over, the Dauphine is over, Slovenia is over. The Tour is coming. This week the crew breaks down where the contenders stand, argues over Thibaut Pinot's future, and laments some argy-bargy in Belgium.

The Criterium du Dauphine has wrapped up and, as usual, it answers some questions and creates some others ahead of the Tour de France. Jumbo-Visma was hugely impressive, but will that mean anything when Tadej Pogacar shows up?

We have a special episode this week. Caley sits down with longtime friend of the podcast (and Tour de France podcast host) Rupert Guinness, who is less than a week from starting the Race Across America. He'll race 4,900 km in 12 days, riding 18-20 hours per day. What will power him through? A warning to listeners: This episode discusses mental health issues, sexual abuse, and eating disorders. 

The first Aussie winner of the Giro d'Italia, an Ineos that didn't get what it was coming for, and a superstar who embraced memehood. The crew sit down to discuss (and rate) this year's Giro.
