'Tactics only matter when legs are equal' - Tour de France - Stage 16 - 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.
Valentin Paret-Peintre outfoxed Ben Healy and Enric Mas at the summit to give Soudal Quick-Step a much-needed victory. Behind them, Vingegaard and Pogacar lit up the GC fight again, trading attacks in a Tour that refuses to give us a dull day.
Cyrus and Aidan dive into it all—from Van Wilder’s heroic Lazarus pull, to Pogacar’s pure joy while attacking when he didn’t need to, to why Visma-LAB's tactics make sense even when they don't work. They also tackle fan interference (again), Roglic’s decoy role, and sinus tape snake oil.
