Jasper Philipse edged closer to the green jersey as Biniam Girmay suffered a nasty crash, and we're about to head back into the Alps for a tough end to this Tour de France. Caley, Jonny, and Iain discuss all that plus a very flat rat, some live-on-TV swearing, carbon monoxide, and Cav's last sprint stage.

Welcome to the second rest day of the Tour de France. The boys have taken a pilgrimage to a site of lore on the Tour Daily pods, the river through Carcassonne, where the tarps came arf and many listener questions were answered.

Jonas Vingegaard tried. He used a hard stage in the best way he and his team knew how, but it wasn't enough. Caley, Iain, and Jonny talk through a battle on Plateau de Beille, plus break the chip story wide open, discuss Pogačar's press offensive with the French people, and wonder why anybody would run up a mountain in flip flops.

Cracker of a stage, that was. The GC lit up on Pla d'Adet as Pogačar improvised and attacked his way into time gains. Caley, Iain, and Jonny talk through the stage and consider where the race stands near the end of its second week.

Caley Fretz, Jonny Long, and Iain Treloar are in Pau after stage 13 of the Tour de France to break down Jasper Philipsen's win and the Pyrenees ahead, and Ronan Mc Laughlin joins the podcast to discuss the use of carbon monoxide during altitude training.

Fresh to your ears from the finest finish line-adjacent Campanile, where Caley, Jonny, and Iain are pleased to find they'll be spending the night lulled to sleep by the low whir of Ineos' trucked-in air conditioning units. The trio discuss Bini Girmay's third win, Primoz Roglič's terrible luck, and the sad isolation of a caravan Haribo vehicle away from its flock.

Jonas Vingegaard is here to play. Dropped but not gone, he fought his way back to Tadej Pogačar and set up tight GC battle ahead of the Pyrenees. Caley, Iain, and Jonny chat through the narratives around Pogačar and Vingegaard, plus what they heard at the busses after the stage about Remco, Roglic, and the French football team.

Finally, Jasper Philipsen gets his stage win. Caley, Iain, and Jonny discuss the sprint, what it means for the green jersey, and then add a bit of Adrie van der Poel parking woes, an alpaca update, and a cheat sheet for the random things we like to talk about.
