Tour de France Stage 11 - Listen to this in it's entirety (I have funny stories), and then skip to the last 10k of the race
Manage episode 371158210 series 3486704
If know you me, you know that I have a complicated relationship with pro cycling, where I gave it the best years of my life, it stabbed me in the back and shoved me out in my prime, but then launched me to a better life than I ever could have dreamed of. To be honest (other than when someone texted me that a friend was going to win the stage) I haven’t watched a bike race since 2016. I was always turned off by some doper in the pack or the commentary booth, but folks liked the podcast series, and a ton of you asked me to keep it going during the Tour. Maybe this will be healthy for me.
I have done hundreds of pro races, I know these guys and the teams and a lot of what’s going on and I have plenty of inside squawk and gossip. I’ll give you the summary, tell you what I’m seeing that might be a little different from what they’re saying on TV, but mostly I’m looking to enjoy it together.
Stage 11 was a snooze--predicable small breakaway, controlled by the sprint teams but some pretty views, so I make up for it with some good jokes and stories. Watch and listen my feed in its entirety of course, and then watch the last 10k of the race.
