S10 Ep78: Stage 5 | Lille – Arenberg | Tour de France 2022

The Cycling Podcast

In a bumper episode of The Cycling Podcast from the Tour de France, Lionel Birnie and Mitch Docker hit the pavé to capture the atmosphere and convey the chaos of the race as the riders hit the cobblestones.

Mitch’s final race as a professional was Paris-Roubaix back in October but this is his first time watching a race on the cobblestones of the Hell of the North from the roadside.

They are then reunited with François Thomazeau to unravel a dramatic day on the cobbles. Who were the winners, who were the losers and where does the Tour go from here?
