About this episode

Luke Tuckwell discusses his breakthrough performance at the Critérium du Dauphiné and its implications for Australian cycling.

Luke Tuckwell joins us after a life-changing weekend. After an incredible week at the Critérium du Dauphiné, the young Australian stunned the cycling world with a breakthrough GC performance, spending time in yellow and finishing second overall against some of the sport's brightest young stars. This week, Tils, Hollywood and Marko break down Tuckwell's ride, what it means for Australian cycling, and whether he's done enough to force his way into a Tour de France selection. We also preview the Tour de Suisse, discuss Isaac Del Toro's frightening form, debate Remco Evenepoel's reported 425-watt FTP, and look at the latest action from the women's peloton and Copenhagen Sprint. And yes, we spend far too much time talking about yellow bibs. Presented by Black Sheep Cycling Use code DOMESTIQUES for 20% off Black Sheep's cycling and running range.
