Fairly sure it will come up again before too long. Honestly this time of year is so packed that fitting everything in is tricky.

Yeah, I think it’s pretty decent, although it’s over a year since I saw it so not fresh in memory.

The Speculation Episode 2025 After a Christmas and New Year break, The Cycling Podcast returns with the now traditional early-season speculation episode.

A UAE Grand Tour clean-sweep, a Van Aert Monument, a Yates brothers grudge match…& (nearly) a live airport-lounge cameo from Rog. All in The Speculation Episode 2025: audioboom.com/posts/863884...

Arrivederci, dear Gianni Daniel pays tribute to his friend, Il Principe, Gianni Savio, who passed away a few days ago aged 76

Desperately sad to say that my friend Gianni Savio has passed away. There’s a lot to add - about his remarkable career, the riders he launched towards greatness, the laughs he & I shared over 20 years & hundreds of chats - but for now my thoughts are with his wife & daughters.

A footnote/encore to my interview with Redbull-Bora-hansgrohe Head DS Rolf Aldag, our festive audience* with Primož Roglič is online for Friends of The Cycling Podcast.

*utterly devoid of Xmas references minus two or three ski-jumping references

Roglič’s programme: Algarve, Catalunya, Giro, Tour.

No Tour de Suisse (obviously) & says he β€˜won’t be competitive’ in Algarve.

Confirmed: Roglič will target the Giro d’Italia (with Hindley & MartΓ­nez in team) & then also ride the Tour.

I wouldn't assume that Pidcock leaving has necessarily freed up cash in the short term. In fact, my understanding is that the budget's been spent.

…which, for the avoidance of doubt, means they never tried to sign him (despite liking him as a rider), not that he didn’t consider them!

Contrary to some reports, Ineos were never remotely in the running - at least according to my info. bsky.app/profile/inrn...

Tim, Iβ€˜ve been lied to before! But this would be a particularly barefaced lie from an impeccable source! 🀣

Just further to this, don’t expect INEOS to try to β€˜replace’ Pidcock with some kind of last-minute signing. Despite him attending team meeting at Old Trafford a few weeks ago, feeling even then was he’d be gone. Riders/staff weren’t surprised when they were informed. bsky.app/profile/frie...

Understand the Pidcock β€˜divorce’ was relatively amicable in the end, despite the very onerous financial considerations. β€˜Like a married couple who know they want different things,’ I was told by a source today. Destination not confirmed but everything points to team currently known as Q36.5.
