'Netflix pulled out of the Tour. Cofidis should’ve done the same' - The Cooldown - Tour de France Stage 20

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 20 was chaos - wet roads, a furious breakaway, and an emotional first Tour de France win for Kaden Groves.

Cyrus and Aidan relive the sprint-finish that Groves earned the hard way, battling through a sketchy crash, disloyal team dynamics, and low expectations. They unpack Jegat’s wild ride into the GC top 10, Jayco’s tactical failures, and Mauro Schmid’s heroic comeback after a 70km/h crash. Also up for debate: where’s the line between moto advantage and media necessity? And has this Pogacar doping chat completely jumped the shark?

Plenty to unpack on the eve of Stage 21 - and yes, they even defend the champagne procession.
