A stage that flipped the entire Tour on its head — Jonas Vingegaard's race-ending crash, a wild UAE tactical scramble, and Max eating a full plate of humble pie after his breakaway predictions blew up spectacularly.

In this episode:

  • Why Visma's early race-long effort almost delivered the win — until it didn't
  • A statement ride from one of the GC contenders, marking every attack to the line
  • The unsung heroes: Quinn Simmons' all-day breakaway masterclass and Mauro Schmid's second big week
  • The white jersey changes hands, and a growing rivalry for years to come
  • More on the overnight 2am/5am doping controls, and whether it's fair that only the top two GC riders got woken up
  • A shock sprinter abandon, and what it means for the remaining sprint stages
  • Teams classification chatter continues, plus a genuine plan to reward the podcast's most accurate tipster
  • Listener voice notes, fantasy league crossover talk, and the ongoing Aussie Uno-X sponsorship pitch
  • Stage 16 TT preview: could a time-trial specialist finally break the GC stranglehold?
  • Rest day plans — Max's 20-voice-note challenge to make a guest appearance
