160. Ned Boulting: The Tour de France Special

This week Robyn and Will are joined by Ned Boulting, a man who needs no introduction but hey, here's one anyway: Ned broadcasts, commentates, pundits, orates, performs and writes about all things cycling. This year is Ned's first away from the ITV commentary box at the Tour de France (RIP), and instead he's taking his passion for two wheels on the road with his podcast For The Love Of Cycling, where this summer he's joined by friends and former pros David Millar, Pete Kennaugh and Lizzie Deignan as he follows the Tour around France, analysing the stages and telling the stories of the greatest cycling race on earth. In this episode, Ned talks us through the most important and set-to-be pivotal stages at this year’s Tour, the riders to watch out for and the inevitable battle for third place, while Robyn introduces Ned to her self-styled ‘Vibes Classification’, which will is surely set to get a UCI points system and jersey all of its own.Chat begins at 3.30------------------This episode is brought to you by the Hammerhead Karoo GPS bike computer.
