Jonas accuses other teams of misusing Carbon Monoxide. Tell us about this 😅
Hey guys! Where did you guys did the Ruegg Interview?
Ineos have let Viviani go.
Pidcock skipping TDF is biggest shock ever without him many UK viewers won’t bother watching
I got Albert Philipsen winning a stage
Hi guys, when will the missing teams preview drop?
I'm calling it now, Mads Pedersen rides for Ineos next season
Jhonny Milan, Merlier and Philipsen going to TdF LETSGOOOO
Paret-Peintre said he hoped to support Remco in the Vuelta. Because apparently he is not teamed up with Remco in any of the other stage races!!?!?!
Had to switch to Youtube to check out the yell of a wombat…😂
Girst, love baby wombats, so cute!
Second, Jonas now in rhe Algarve 😮😁, super excited! 🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
The timestamps in the description have some errors at the end. Looking forward to listening
Superb Women's TDU: cannot wait for tomorrow and Men's TDU. Patrick, Benji and World Tour are back – life just got a lot more interesting.
OMG the wombat sound is legit
A BBC interview is aimed at casual fans more than anything else, they won’t have a clue, or care, about the qualification criteria for the TDF.
Test Drive Unlimited was a very nice game! Oh, not that TDU 😉
Pedersen leading Milan vs Van Aert leading Kooij. Add Van Der Poel leading Philipsen to the battle and you have something I'd pay to watch
"Speaking of washed Australians, Patrick & I…" Benji absolutely not holding back 🤣
Thanks for getting it done boys. Good luck on corkscrew
IPT is here for Stevie #1 and Corbin #2 depending on time bonuses. The climbs aren't long/steep enough for Woods
PB totally forgot about Visma. Facts!
Hey guys, where exactly can we find these TDU podcasts, will they be uploaded to this channel too?
Hopefully run into you on a group ride this week, cheers!
Laurence Pithie will win Gc

WOMBAT YELLING! Courtesy of The Australian Reptile Park channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KI3yRXFq76M even though the wombat is not a reptile.
Do we know that Merlier will ride tdf? I see that he is listed for it on pcs, but I havn't seen anything from him or the team. I have only seen Alula, UAE and KBK.
