Rest Day Voice Notes: The Grenade Tweet

Rest Day Voice Notes: The Grenade Tweet

From Stanley St. Social | Cycling News and Interviews by Max Gawn, Luke Plapp and Alex Clements

About this episode

Max and Alex discuss various topics including doping allegations, cycling events, and food recommendations during a rest day.

Rest day, and it's a big one — 43 voice notes to get through and only twenty minutes of the show that were meant for them. Max and Alex start on the 2am testing saga engulfing the GC battle — Vingegaard and Pogačar's out-of-hours tests, the ITA's "severe suspicions" line, and a very direct take from a rider with history on the subject that's got Max rethinking the whole thing. From there it's full voice note mode: Remco's TT gap, the AFL/cycling crossover conversation (yes, we're drafting Buddy Franklin onto a WorldTour team), an A2 Milk pitch for the show, and Max's top ten Melbourne sandwiches — Barry's Garage gets the nod. Big one: we're doing a Tour de France Femmes show starting August 1, and we need a co-host who actually knows the peloton. Got a suggestion? Get into our DMs. Plus — Max explains why he'd never marry Peter Sagan, does some very rough maths on how fast he could hold 30 minutes at threshold, and there's a Triple M cameo before sign-off.
