TCRNo11 // Day 05

Day 05 of the Transcontinental Race brings a sweeping view of the field, with riders now stretched across three countries: from the final climbs of Spain, through the sun-drenched roads of France, and into the towering passes of Italy. Reporter Jack Thorpe checks in with Race Director Andrew Phillips for a rundown on the current race leaders and emerging strategies at the front. As temperatures rise, we explore how riders are coping with the heat and how cool heads and quick thinking continue to separate those who thrive from those who struggle. From mechanical mishaps to routing puzzles, it's clear that problem solving is just as important as strong legs on the road to CP3.This year's podcast host is the legendary Jenny Tough.We invite you to follow along with our race coverage through this daily podcast, our daily race reports, and on TCR Instagram. TCRNo11 tracking and race reports here: https://www.lostdot.cc/tcrHosted and produced by Jenny Tough.
