S8 Ep123: Tour de France stage 14: Clermont-Ferrand – Lyon

The Cycling Podcast

In this episode of The Cycling Podcast from the Tour de France, Richard Moore, Lionel Birnie and François Thomazeau recap another stage win for one of the surprise packages of the race.

The stage was won in brilliant fashion by Soren Kragh Andersen of Sunweb, who played the finale into Lyon brilliantly.

We discuss the stage finish and also hear from Richie Porte, who is riding with a sense of freedom in his final Tour as a team leader.

Then we discuss the issue of concussion, which forced Romain Bardet to pull out of the race after his crash yesterday.
