Fresh from the 2026 Tour de France Grand Départ, Simon and Ashley are back at BikeRadar HQ and keen to share everything they saw in Barcelona.

From Pogačar’s 25c tyres to Vingegaard’s 30s, the continuing prevalence of narrow bars and short cranks, and why we were shocked by how much some of this year’s key bikes weighed, we cover all the juicy tech details from the race start.

If you want to know what tech the pros are using at the biggest bike race of the year, this is the podcast for you.
