Sadly, his wifi signal was nowhere near as strong as his riding has been lately, and we lost him halfway through the record - but he was on great form before that! Luke enlisted the help of Producer George - hello! - to finish the pod, pick our Chapeau of the Tour, and preview his first ever race as an official Sport Director. Good luck Rowey! We hope you enjoyed our Tour coverage - we certainly enjoyed bringing it to you. We'll be back next week with some Olympic action and to start prepping for the Vuelta. It'll be here before you know it - but no, G definitely won't be riding. Spain's for holidays, remember. See you then. Want to come and see us in November?

Fresh from an hour of alternative commentary on @eurosportcycling's Instagram this afternoon, Luke and Tom hopped on to reflect on that crazy stage - and another remarkable ride from Tadej Pogacar. He didn't take home Continental Tyres' Chapeau of the Day though - you'll have to listen to hear who gets the nod today. Luke's gonna be roadside for stage 20 and can't wait to pick up some goodies from the caravan. If he makes it back off the mountain alive, we'll be back for another pod tomorrow.

We loved seeing G and De Pluski flying the flag in the break - and Laurens battled to a valiant fourth out on the road. G told Tom all about their big day out, picked his Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day (this could have been controversial) and is starting to count down the days until Sunday, when he'll be home with a G&T in his hand.

    Ben Stiller joins the pod (yes, actual Ben Stiller) | Tour de France rest day two - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport
    Jul 15 2024
    No, this is not a drill: we do indeed have actual A-List Hollywood star Ben Stiller on the pod today. How's that for a rest day show? As our listeners will know, Ben's a huge cycling fan, he loves following the Grand Tours, and he's a vocal supporter of G's across social media. He was delighted to accept G's offer to come on the pod and the guys had a great time with the star of Zoolander, Dodgeball, Meet the Parents... the list goes on and on. Luke and G absolutely loved chatting to him about his love for the Tour, how he watches the action from the States, and got plenty of advice from him on our upcoming Watts Occurring live show, on November 8th at the Lowry Theatre in Salford. Will Ben be there? Who knows. You can get your tickets here. G also gave us a typical rest day update and waxed lyrical about Ambassador De Pluski's ride in the breakaway yesterday.

    An update from G as Pogi twists the knife | Tour de France stage 14 - Watts Occurring powered by Eurosport
    Jul 13 2024
    WE'VE BOOKED ANOTHER LIVE SHOW! On November 8th, Watts Occurring is hitting the Lowry Theatre in Salford, Greater Manchester. Get your tickets here. We're back after one of the biggest days of the Tour so far - and another remarkable performance from Tadej Pogacar. This race is showing no signs of slowing down. G's been under the weather, as he explains, but felt better out there today, got over the Tourmalet without too much trouble, and is hoping to come back around. He's got plenty of tales from the road, there's a belting new French nickname for Tom Pidcock, and our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day came from the breakaway. You'll have to let us know if you agree with our pick. We'll see you on the rest day - just the small matter of five more categorised climbs to scale tomorrow.

    Jul 7 2024
    WE'VE BOOKED ANOTHER LIVE SHOW! On November 8th, Watts Occurring is hitting the Lowry Theatre in Salford, Greater Manchester. Get your tickets here. Well, we think it's fair to say today's gravel stage lived up to the hype - even if it didn't quite shake up the GC. Tom Pidcock battled it out for a famous win and Pog tried all he could to shift his rivals. Luke and Tom recapped the action, while reflecting on an incredible first week in France. Do you remember Bardet winning yellow? It feels like a month ago already. G's back tomorrow with the traditional rest day catch up. See you then. Want to try Ketones as part of your lifestyle?
