'Alaphilippe celebrated like he just had his first child' - Tour de France - Stage 15 - The Cooldown podcast
Aiden Burgess and Cyrus Monk guide you through every stage of this year’s Tour de France. With their signature style, they unpack the tactics, analyse the key moments, and spotlight the details you might have missed.
Stage 15 was supposed to be a quiet transition. Instead, we got eight groups on the road, surprise Belgian domination, a perfect UAE decoy move and Alaphilippe celebrating third like he’d won the whole Tour.
Tim Wellens took a well-deserved solo win, Campenaerts rolled into second, and somehow Alaphilippe emerged from the fog of painkillers to snatch third… and celebrate like he’d fathered a child. Cyrus and Aidan dive into a chaotic day of breakaway politics, tactical misreads, UAE’s trust in Wellens, and whether Julian deserves all three of today’s awards.
