For The Love Of Cycling · The Best Finale Paris has Ever Seen? Tour de France Stage 21 Breakdown · 27 Jul 2026 podcast

I was on the Champs-Élysées yesterday. voice-verified

I genuinely think we witnessed history. voice-verified

It was, I mean, all the messages in a little WhatsApp group was kind of like said the same thing, didn't they? voice-verified

It was just extraordinary. voice-verified

I didn't even know where to begin with it, really. voice-verified

Except for, if we rewind, it was such a strange day, wasn't it? voice-verified

Because of the wildfires that, I mean, we were working up here in Paris and I actually put on television in my hotel room and it's so serious, isn't it, around in Bordeaux that you could totally understand why. voice-verified

The stage had to be shortened yesterday, but the net effect for the race was we saw the riders line up on the Champs-Élysées, which again is something that's never happened before. voice-verified

You don't. voice-verified

Are you telling me you haven't tuned in for the early part of the Paris stage? voice-verified

I mean, one of the sort of like knock-on effects of not commentating for television anymore is I didn't have to talk over that for hours and hours and hours because, boy, does that go on. voice-verified

It was shorter yesterday than it normally is. voice-verified

yeah the nation thing that's crept in over recent years it used to be national champions i think for a while they'd all get called up and then the colombians decided they all wanted to line up i thought it was a bit random when the germans just popped off the front yesterday because they've had a good race but have they ripped it apart really like i don't know don't know i wondered whether fred wright and tom pitt got one are going to pop off the front with josh tarling at one point but um voice-verified

Well, that's really interesting, isn't it? voice-verified

Because it could have been a GC day yesterday. voice-verified

I mean, the way the race played out. voice-verified

And the thing that people always used to ask about the old Paris finish was, well, what if the GC is still close? voice-verified

Isn't there going to be a GC race? voice-verified

And everyone used to say, well, it could be. voice-verified

But then they design a course where you can literally have gaps. voice-verified
