What If Australia Had Its Own Uno-X? | Tour de France Stage 11 Recap

About this episode

Alex and Max discuss the concept of national-identity cycling teams while recapping the thrilling events of Tour de France Stage 11.

What if Australia had its own Uno-X? Alex and Max go deep on why national-identity teams like Uno-X actually work — and make a genuine, semi-serious pitch to Australia's richest people to fund the next one. Oh, and there was also a Tour stage today, and it was the best sprint finish of the race so far. In this episode: The pitch: an all-Aussie (or all-American) team, Uno-X style — who's paying for it? Søren Wærenskjold's brilliant late flyer wins a chaotic, momentum-driven bunch sprint Jasper Philipsen's self-doubt in the final 300m — and whether it's costing him wins Charmig's massive day in the breakaway and what it says about Uno-X's whole philosophy Jonas Vingegaard defends Pogačar from the boo-birds — and whether he's got the take right The Uno-X hotel saga continues, plus race organiser pushback First-time Triple M crossover listeners welcomed, plus a very honest admission about early grumpiness Rolling out listener voice notes for the first time Last night's Nog Lights and Hyro winners revealed Stage 12 preview: the last sprint chance for a while, into Chalon-sur-Saône
