Demi Vollering claims the women's Euro road race title... as does Tadej Pogacar. We'll only see one of them wear the jersey in a race as the other has the rainbow bands to wear to add to a host of other accolades this season. So... we ask the big question... is Tadej Pogacar ruining cycling? Let us know your thoughts!

Magdeleine Vallieres shocks the world by winning gold whilst Tadej Pogacar makes more history to take Rainbows again - but what if you're not Sanny's 3 year old daughter, is it still entertaining with Pog on top?! Red Walters of Grenada joins us to tell us exactly what is was like to be in the race and WHY did he burn all his matches to lead from the gun?! Jeremy Ford is on the road in Rwanda and tells us about a new African star rider in Kahsay Tsige Kiros of Ethiopia and Sanny and Katy reflect on the men's and women's elite races plus reflect on British success in the junior ranks.

We head LIVE to Kigali, Rwanda to catch up with Jeremy Ford of Africa Rising who's found himself as the Chef de Mission for Benin at the UCI Road World Cycling Championships. Remco Evenepoel and Marlen Reusser take gold in the time trial, and with Tadej Pogacar comprehensively beaten into fourth, will he be out for revenge come the weekend's road race? Plus there's transfer news - Juan Ayuso has a new home, what would ever happen if UAE fell out with Pogacar we wonder?
And we hear from Red Walters, our old podcast pal who's out competing for Greneda at the championships.

Is Tadej Pogacar entering his villain era? Is there any possible way to stop him winning this year's Tour de France? Jonas Vingegaard and Visma say they're willing to lose it all to try and win. Sanny and Katy return to chew the fat on week 2 and preview week 3, where it's make or break across the peloton

Ok, week one plus Monday! We've seen a bit of everything - Ben Healy is in yellow but for how long? Perhaps only until we head back to the mountains but a sterling effort heading into the first rest day. Mathieu ven der Poel has been winning, had a turn in yellow and been starting side quests for his pals and meanwhile the battle between Vinegaard and Pogacar (who pulled off his 100th victory as planned) rages on. But does Visma now have the complete upper hand on UAE? Milan's the main man in green, can anyone stop him? And Lenny's in Polkas to keep France happy.

Away from the big GC debate, Sanny and Katy return to review the week’s racing ahead of national championships around the world and… there’s a new UAE kit, why did they bother again?!

Tadej Pogacar does it again - can he really banter his way to winning the Tour de France too? Sanny and Katy return to reflect on the differing fortunes of the big three plus a few others including the next big name in French riding as Romain Bardet bids farewell. Marlen Reusser winds the Tour de Suisse women as Demi Vollering and her devlop a big of a rivalry, TdS men is two stages through and the UCI are banning things...

Well, the Tour of Britain Women doesn't disappoint - tears of joy and sadness for Cat Ferguson taking her first pro tour win in a soaking a treacherous Kelso, before being edged out in each intermediate sprint and on the line by Ally Wollaston whilst Lorena Wiebes finally gets her sprint victory in Glasgow. There's Demi Vollering dominance in Catalunya - is this the start of an era of dominance for her new team now in FDJ-Suez over SD Worxx Pro Time? And then it's over the channel to the Dauphine as the BIG FOUR fight it out in brilliant and hilarious fashion in what was supposed to be a sprint stage. Jonas Vingegaard the animator?! Who saw that coming, as Tadej Pogacar again takes a victory over a powerful Remco Evenepoel and a broken-wrist recovering Mathieu van der Poel. And we talk Jake Stewart's fifth on a mad new bike plus Netflix burying their Tour de France series in what is Unchained's farewell finale.

Katy is on the ground at Stages 1 & 2 of the Tour of Britain Women 2025. We catch up with riders before stage 1, where Kim Le Court edges out Kristen Faulkner before throwing you straight into stage 2 with Katy on the road and Sanny back at base. There's strong words from Cat Ferguson but it's Mara Roldan (21 year old Canadian) who steals the show on Saltburn-by-the-Sea!

Just when you thought the Brits couldn't do it on the continent, the whole of Europe says 'What the hell just happened?!' Simon Yates wins the Giro d'Italia 2025 - come on, did anyone call this...? Ok maybe one person on BlueSky - you know who you are! Sanny and Katy reconvene to reflect on the final week of the Giro, focussing on the madness up the Colle Delle Finestre. Sanny has several theories about what happened with Isaac del Toro - did his battle with Ayuso lead to a hangover between him and the team?! Was Carapaz right to not work with the young Mexican and the man who couldn't sound any less like he's from Bury if he tried, finally cracks emotionally, as he cracks the rest of his GC competitors by riding away up the climb that had defined his own career when he lost the Giro to Chris Froome back in 2018. Tears after the finish line, a very muddled accent in the interviews and what work from Wout van Aert to get him there. Redemption all round.

It's all happening, all the time! Just when we thought we'd have a chill day or two it's complete chaos. The Ayuso - del Toro battle rages on. There's a nightmare for Lidl-Trek and heartbreak for Ciccone and then redemption for the team as Carlos Verona pulls off a breakaway win, hot of Kasper Asgreen doing the same too. Oh my word, Primoz Roglic and all the chaos as Sanny and Katy reconvene with Sanny at Wembley and many apologies that we lose Katy at the end!!!!

Isaac del Toro is in pink but for how long will Juan Ayuso be ok with the situation at UAE?! Sanny and Katy return to review a succession of breathless Giro stages plus a more sedentary sprint stage 12 with an Olav Kooij finish. We see Luke Plapp go on the break, chaos and triumph on the gravel for Wout van Aert and a time trial victory through the rain for Dan Hoole, oh and don't count out Richard Carapaz, as he showed on stage 12!

Sanny and Katy reconvene to talk for a moment on stage 5, reflect on the awful scenes of stage 6 and the crash that neutralised the race and took out a host of riders. They then preview stage 7 before then watching it and coming back together and see whether their predictions pan out. There's Paul Double in the virtual pink, Max Poole flying the British flag and who's at the back of the pack in the grupetto eating pork kebabs?!

We kick off with La Vuelta Feminina as Katy talks us through the action where Demi Vollering reigns in Spain for 2025. Marlen Reusser takes second place across the seven days, and still on her comeback, Anna van der Breggen rounds off the podium. Then we're off to the Giro - Josh Tarling takes the Stage 2 Time Trial as Primoz Roglic wears pink from Pedersen but only for a day as the Dane takes stage 3. Then we leave Albania for Italy and Lecce where Picnic Post NL wake us all up and shock us all with a sprint victory for Casper van Uden! Sanny and Katy then look ahead to Stage 5 and make their puncheur predictions!

Mads Pedersen pips Wout van Aert (where have we seen this before?!) to take the Maglia Rosa on Stage One of the Giro d'Italia. A perfect rac for Lidl Trek, not so for Mikel Landa - heartbreak as a crash with 5km to go means he pulls out. Sanny and Katy return to go through the start of the 2025 Giro ending in Albania's capital city, in a quickfire 35 minutes. What is Kometa? Who's up for the time trial for Stage Two and what did we make of the Red Bull kilometre, Giro multi-screen and more!

It's a Tadej Pogacar-free zone! Well, at least it will be when we talk Giro d'Italia. With last year's winner not returning, could there be a new rider lifting Trofeo Senza Fine and wearing La Maglia Rosa by the time we get to Rome in three weeks? Primoz Roglic get back in pink or Juan Ayuso young-gunning for a first Grand Tour win. Katy and Sanny return to review the classics - is it too much Pogacar? That's before a BIG preview on the Giro - all the main riders - and how Tom Pidcock is free to have fun. Could Wout van Aert play a part in stage wins too though? Tiberi killed a cat but could still be Italy's darling too. There's an update from La Vuelta Feminina ahead of a review pod as we gear up for the Giro, which starts this year in Albania.

Was it ever in doubt? Maybe? Tadej Pogačar attacks exactly where you'd think he would be not before the rest of the peloton gave beating him a really good go. Sanny and Katy reconvene post-Ronde van Vlaanderen where there was a redemption, of sorts for Wout Van Aert, with Pedersen and van der Poel making the podium and kudos to Stuyven and Ganna in amongst it all. But... are we bored of Pogacar winning everything...? Lots to mull over here. In the women's race, we lost Elisa Longo Borghini early, and that was a big blow for the race which was run from a four-up sprint by the World Champion Kopecky. Could and should the others have tried something else to beat her? Pauline Ferrand-Prévot has to settle for second with a creditable ride for Liane Lippert in third as Tour de France champ Kasia Niewiadoma misses out. Symmetry in both races as the World Champions win, how does this set us up for Paris-Roubaix next weekend? We chat through it all, there's some slow-mo Pogacar and why the finish line couldn't be more boring if the organisers tried!

Mathieu van der Poel is in form with wins at San Remo and E3 but Katy is backing Tadej Pogačar for victory in the biggest race in Belgium. After his and Visma Lease a Bike's nightmare at Dwars door Vlaanderen, Sanny and Katy discuss whether we'll ever see Wout van Aert back to his best. The women's race sees the formidable SD Worx Protime being the team to beat but Elisa Longo Borghini has beaten Lotte Kopecky already. Could Puck Pieterse spring a surprise? And who's next for an awkward time on the pre-podium sofa?

Mattieu Van der Poel follows up Milan San Remo with a super win on the E3 Classic, There's consolation for Mads Pedersen who gets his Sunday victory at Gent-Wevelgem - more than just a consolation on the Classics Holy Week in Flanders. Lorena Wiebes makes it 100 not out with brilliant spring sprint victories in Belgium after her own San Remo success. Primoz Roglic takes victory at the Volta a Catalunya as we witness a star being born in Britain's new teen sensation, Matty Brennan! And with one more team added to Grand tours, Tour de France organisers ASO shows the UCI who’s boss.
