About this episode

The crew discusses the latest Giro drama and the upcoming Tour Down Under announcement while touching on various cycling events.

The crew is back together and, somehow, still talking about gravel. This week on The Domestiques , Tils, Marko and Hollywood unpack the latest Giro drama, from breakaway chaos and motorbike controversy to Jai Hindley’s podium chances, Jonas Vingegaard’s control, and whether the final week can save the race. They also dive into the huge Tour Down Under announcement, with the men’s and women’s races set to share the same course, same distance and same day in 2027, asking whether it is genuine progress, logistical madness, or a bit of both. Plus, Marko previews his Gravel Nationals title defence, the Women’s Giro gets a proper look-in, Connor Wright keeps cooking in Europe, the Enhanced Games gets exactly the respect it deserves, and Hollywood continues his crusade against gravel, subtlety, and basic podcast structure.
