The Death of the Dauphiné & The "Softest Podcast in Cycling"

Welcome to Episode 531 of the longest-standing podcast on the sport of cycling. We are "The Packfiller"—think of us as a post-ride beer with several friends and one asshole. (Pat is potentially that asshole).This week, four generations of riders sit down to dissect a massive week in the WorldTour and the absolute delusion of the local amateur scene. We break down Team Visma-Lease a Bike's flawless TTT at the newly rebranded Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Demi Vollering’s absolute masterclass at the Giro d'Italia Women, and the radical new 5-day compression experiment at the Tour de Suisse.Then, we turn our attention to the comments section. The panel roasts the "Unsolicited Coaches" of the local group ride, and Pat delivers a Pulpit aimed directly at the "Keyboard Cat 5s" who recently called us the softest podcast in the sport. Spoiler: We agree with them.Grab a pint, check your tire pressure, and for the love of God, learn how to use a comma.
