Episode 47: XCO’s New Guard, Pogačar at the Vuelta & Les Gets Goes Wild

Is the next generation of XCO racers officially taking over? Episode 47 starts with Adrien Boichis vs. Mathieu van der Poel and a discussion about why younger riders are arriving at the elite level faster and more prepared than ever. We also dive into Pogačar’s Vuelta dominance, gravel and dirt in Grand Tours, the incredible crowd scene at Les Gets, the return of the Philadelphia Cycling Classic and Manayunk Wall, a new 24-hour gravel race in Southern California, recovery tools, Lifetime Grand Prix coverage and some classic downhill stories. We wrap it up with our Good Idea File: the hotel that opened its doors to the Vuelta peloton during a brutal hailstorm — then declined payment for helping them out.
