'It’s not that Visma did nothing. It’s that nothing worked' - The Cooldown - Tour de France Stage 18
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.

Aiden and Cyrus dive into:
– Why Red Bull-Bora’s “double leader” strategy is failing
– What Pogacar's restraint is doing for the race
– The sticky bottle that’s making headlines
– UAE’s and Visma's team depth
– How O’Connor may have just kept his team alive
– And the GC podium fight: is Onley about to snatch third?
