Life in the Peloton

That’s right, it’s almost time for the last Grandy of the season - and my favourite! In this month’s Race Communiqué Luke Durbridge, Tom Southam, and I are picking apart the route, looking down the startlist, and previewing what promises to be an absolute scorcher of a race. </p> <p>Of course, the headlines around this year’s edition of La Vuelta are dominated by t

But they might just be overlooking one of the most important pieces of the puzzle: feet. </p> <p>I know, footbeds aren’t exactly the sexiest upgrade to make to your set-up, but getting them right could actually unlock even more power, reduce injury, and just boost your overall enjoyment

<p>Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by <a href='https://maap.cc/'>MAAP</a></p> <p>The men’s Tour de France is over for another year, and what an epic week of racing we’ve just seen. Pogačar might have wrapped up the overall victory early on, but some amazing battles for the green, white, and polka dot jerseys, some big shifts in the rest of the top 10 in the final week, and an unbelievable finish in Paris made this a truly memorable edition of the race. </p> <p>Guys, Durbo’s just fi

<p>Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by <a href='https://maap.cc/'>MAAP</a></p> <p>What a week of racing at the Tour de France! It’s safe to say that with Jonas Vingegaard’s unfortunate abandonment, the race for the podium has been blown wide open! I gave EF Education EasyPost DS, Tom Southam, a call to go over everything we’ve seen in the second week of the Tour and preview what’s coming up. </p> <p>Kicking off with a recap of everything that’s gone down both in and around the race

<p>Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by <a href='https://maap.cc/'>MAAP</a></p> <p>The first nine stages of the Tour de France have been absolutely brutal! As Southam predicted, it has just been non-stop racing every day. In fact, it’s been so hard that Durbo’s decided to bank some extra hours in bed rather than join Tom and me for this special episode of The Race Communiqué!</p> <p>That’s right, it's the first rest day of the Tour, and I wanted to take advantage of our man on the gr

A legend of commentary who’s currently covering the Grande Boucle for the 53rd time, I am absolutely gee’d up to bring you my interview with the one and only Phil Liggett.</p> <p> </p> <p>Phil really has seen it all from his early days as a wannabe racer through to finding the microphone, and a lifetime o

<p>Life in the Peloton is proudly brought to you by <a href='https://maap.cc/'>MAAP</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Here we go, guys: It’s Tour de France time. The big one starts on Saturday, so I sat down with Durbo and Southam for a special EMERGENCY PODCAST to preview the 2026 edition of the race. Who better to preview the biggest race of the season with than two guys who are going to be there; Southam in the team car as a sports director for EF Education Easypost, and Durbo riding his 12th and final Tou
