George, Johan, and Spencer break down Jonas Vingegaard’s dominant overall victory at Tirreno-Adriatico, and what it means for the rest of the sport’s top GC contenders, and his Visma-Lease a Bike teammate Matteo Jorgenson’s surprise, and impressive, upset win at Paris-Nice over stars like Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič. After going through the key takeaways from Tirrenno, the crew welcomes Jorgenson on the show to discuss his win, how his off-season move to Visma has changed his training and racing mindset, and how the win has him thinking about his future racing plans and goals.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin from the Beyond the Peloton Newsletter break down the UCI’s recent controversial decision to ban a key piece of the Specialized time trial helmet's aerodynamic design, as well as announcing a decision to re-examine its own rules, likely it an attempt to roll back the increasingly radical time trial helmet designs cropping up across the top teams. Johan and Spencer attempt to figure out the logic behind the process and speculate if this will deter future sponsor investment/innovation and what the landscape for aero helmets will be when the dust finally settles.

JB Hager, Johan Bruyneel, and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter break down this weekend’s non-stop top-level racing, from Lennert van Eetvelt’s final-climb attack to take an upset overall win at the UAE Tour, to Visma’s masterclass at the pair of Cobbled Classic openers Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and Kuurne-Bruxelles-Kuurne, Jonas Vingegaard’s dismantling of the competition for the second-straight year at O Gran Camiño, and UAE’s sweep of the hilly one-day races in southern France. Outside of showing how the sport's top two teams are likely to continue, or even expand, their dominance of the sport, they discuss and debate what these results mean for the bigger races looming in the near future.

JB Hager, Johan Bruyneel, and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter break down this weekend’s Cyclocross World Championship events, starting with Mathieu van der Poel’s dominant victory en route to a sixth career world title, before speculating on how this will set him up for his looming Classics campaign, and where his CX career will go from here. They also discuss The Netherland’s dominance across nearly every category, including Fem van Empel’s supreme command of the Women’s side of the sport, Belgium’s multi-year absence from the top step of the podium in both elite races, and what we can learn about the future from the U-23, Junior and mixed Team Relay results.

JB Hager, Johan Bruyneel, and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter briefly break down how Israel-Premier Tech's Stephen Williams won the Tour Down Under, what Bora and Sam Welsford's sprinting dominance means for the rest of the season, and why Jayco-Alula underperformed at their home race, before getting into the breakout performance from UAE’s 20-year-old Isaac del Toro, who won a stage and finished on the overall podium in his first career WorldTour outing. Afterward, they discuss Sunday's epic showdown between Wout van Aert, Mathieu van der Poel, and Tom Pidcock at the Benidorm Cyclocross World Cup in Spain, which produced what will likely be the defining race of the 2023/2024 CX season.

Johan Bruyneel and Spencer Martin of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter break down how the recent ruling from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), which effectively declares that rules from football (soccer's) governing bodies, FIFA and UEFA, restricting breakaway competitions aren’t allowed by EU law, could alter the professional cycling landscape and give the recently proposed One Cycling breakaway league a significantly increased chance of success. They also discuss the logic behind the decision from two of the sport’s biggest stars, Tadej Pogačar and Wout van Aert, to race the Giro d’Italia, and if it signals a slight shift in the balance of power in the sport.

Johan, Spencer, and JB bring you up to speed, and break down, the last three days of racing, which has featured the stunning sight of Primož Roglič and Jonas Vingegaard racing so aggressively that they jeoparized the lead of their teammates Sepp Kuss. While they exhibited far more defensive riding on Stage 18 to set Kuss up for a likely overall race win, the trio discuss if this will be enough to prevent public opinion from turning against them as they steamroll through every grand tour. Later, they debate the merits of Remco Evenepoel’s Vuelta, which has seen him rack up three impressive stage wins, if it can be considered a success, and where he goes from here.

Johan, Spencer, and JB break down the past few stages of the Vuelta, mainly the individual time trial, which saw Filippo Ganna scorch the competition while Sepp Kuss put up a strong defense of his race lead with a surprisingly strong ride. They go over the strength of Kuss' position atop the overall standings coming out of the TT, and how QuickStep and Ineos have potentially mismanaged the past few stages. Afterward, the crew discuss the upcoming mountain stages in the Pyrenees, which feature the most demanding tests the GC contenders have faced so far, and how Kuss’ rivals, mainly Remco Evenepoel and his QuickStep team, should approach attempting to take back time on the climbing specialist over an incredibly mountainous route, before touching on how Jumbo-Visma will handle their new, more complex, intra-team dynamics and how they think the upcoming stages will play out.

After the crew recaps and breaks down the action, Johan shares some interesting news about how a merger between the Ineos and Soudal-QuickStep teams could be in the works.

Heading into the Tour’s final rest day, Lance, JB, and George are again joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ’s cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down the Tour’s fifteenth stage, which saw the veteran Wout Poels get an impressive win from the breakaway to give his Bahrain-Victorious team their second stage win of the race, before getting into the still lock-stepped GC battle between Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard further down the mountain. 

The crew also discuss Wout van Aert’s strange tactics in the breakaway, how Jumbo’s mid-race pileup could affect the third-week GC dynamics, the fight for the podium, and who between Pogačar or Vingegaard has the upper hand going into Tuesday’s decisive time trial.

Lance, JB, and George are once again joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ’s cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down the Tour’s fourteenth stage and how Ineos grabbed two stage wins in as many days after Carlos Rodríguez successfully capitalized on Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard's brief stalemate on the brutal Col de Joux Plane climb before unleashing an impressive race-winning attack at the top of the descent and showcasing his technical skills en route to the stage win in Morzine.

The crew discuss what Rodríguez’s win means for his rumored ongoing contract negotiations with Movistar, the wisdom of Jumbo-Visma setting an incredibly hard line-to-line pace only to gain a single second in the GC standings, as well as how Pogačar attacking Vingegaard, only to be reeled in by an impressive steady-state effort from the defending champion, will affect the physiological side of the ongoing battle for the overall win. To finish the show, Michael Brandt from HVMN comes on to talk about the benefits of their Ketone-IQ product.

Lance, JB, and George are joined by Spencer Martin, co-host of OŪTCOMES, WEDŪ’s cycling betting podcast, and author of the Beyond the Peloton newsletter, to break down Michał Kwiatkowski’s incredible effort to win the stage ahead of the GC group, and what the Tour’s thirteenth stage, which took place on Bastille Day and finished up the tough climb of le Grand Colombier, showed us about how the GC picture will shake out in the looming alpine stages. 

They also discuss how Kwiatkowski has been allowed to re-find his winning ways due to the fall of the Ineos GC empire, and speculate how the teams of UAE and Jumbo will tactically approach tomorrow’s brutal mountain stage, which takes the peloton up and over the infamous Col de Joux Plane and down a tricky descent to finish in the alpine town of Morzine.

Johan and Spencer go through the recent Tour de Suisse, beginning with the tragic passing of 26-year-old Gino Mäder following a crash on stage 5, and what, if anything, pro cycling can learn from this extremely unfortunate event. They then get into how Mattias Skjelmose took the overall win over wunderkind Juan Ayuso and reigning World Champion Remco Evenepoel, how Biniam Girmay’s stage two sprint victory over Wout van Aert and Arnaud Démare potentially sets him up for a breakout Tour de France, and discuss Tom Pidcock’s disappointing campaign and how it leaves Ineos with few GC options for the biggest race on the calendar.
