The sprinters went to battle at the Tour today - and we're sure nobody was expecting that outcome. But what a win, and what a winner. Tom's back for the Tour and he dissects the day with Luke, before reflecting on yesterday's Pog vs Vini battle and looking ahead to tomorrow's Galibier stage. There was also our Chapeau of the Day sponsored by Continental Tyres to pick - but the winner probably.

G looked good on day one at the Tour and came home in what was left of the peloton, Romain Bardet took a famous victory and this year's first yellow jersey, while Mark Cavendish battled round in the Italian heat to hang on in there.

Three more weeks of unmissable cycling drama, in the biggest bike race in the world. There's nothing better. G's in the INEOS team and all set to race his 13th Tour, and his 21st Grand Tour. What are his plans? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. Luke's ready with his bold predictions and we'll be podding as much as we can throughout the race. Roll on Saturday.

Yes, you're right: it's been far too long. We've missed De Pluski on the pod but, stuck up in Isola training for the Tour with G, we took the opportunity to catch up with everyone's favourite Belgian. There's been a dramatic wedding proposal in Australia, some very solid performances on the bike and, of course, that incredible showing at the Dauphine. Now he's ready for the Tour - his first in the colours of INEOS. And we're sure if you ask him nicely enough, he'll make a return to the pods throughout July. Long live the Carrot of Ninove. Speaking of the Tour, we've teamed up with Continental Tyres - and they're offering three people the chance to watch the final stage in VIP style.

The boys are back after another busy week: Luke's been living it up at Le Mans 24 Hours, G's been getting the miles under his belt in Isola (while chuckling at De Pluski), and there's the Tour de Suisse to recap. We'll be back next week with the big Tour de France preview. Can anyone else believe how quickly it's come around? Sheesh.

G's up in Isola, Luke's had a sun cream faux pas, but both the boys have been keeping a beady eye on a cracking Dauphine. Ambassador De Pluski was right in the mix, Roglic pulled on the yellow jersey, and it's fair to say Tour de France fever is building. Meanwhile our new Watts Occurring t-shirts have been causing a stir - you can still get yours here, before the pre-sale window closes: https://crowdnetwork.store/collections/watts-occurring We'll be back next week to see how G's getting on at altitude and find out how the lads' Tour de Suisse predictions stack up.

Watts Occurring Pogi? You didn't really think after Luke spent the month of May rating his pink outfits and G spent it chasing him round Italy, that we couldn't get Pog on the pod did you? The Giro d'Italia winner and favourite for this year's Tour de France, Tadej Pogacar joined G in Monaco while Luke dialled in for a fun chat with the Slovenian star. What was his favourite stage in the Giro? How is he going to race the Tour? What's the first thing he ate after winning in Rome? We've got answers to all of that and more in this special Watts Occurring. Watts Occurring is powered by Eurosport Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Another Grand Tour podium for G. What a man. Here at Watts Occurring we're incredibly proud of him - and we're sure you all are too. Now the dust has settled on the podium in Rome, Luke got him to reflect on his third place, chasing pink panther Pog around Italy, Macs stealing the show on the final day and plenty more besides.

The rain has started pouring in Italy but G remains right in the hunt for a podium spot in Rome. There's plenty to catch up on: the shorted stage 16, a mountain battle on stage 17, and today's sprint day. With Luke and Tom busy, G hopped on the massage table, plugged in his mic, and updated Producer George on the comings and goings in Italy. There's two big mountains days left - and G has two ascents of Monte Grappa to look forward to on his 38th birthday. Can you think of a better way to spend it?

The Giro d'Italia saw a show today. A Tadej Pogacar show. And G had a front row seat, as he solidified his podium place. Fresh from the team bus he hopped on the massage table with his mic, gave Luke a buzz, and they set about recording an absolute classic Watts Occurring. G was typically honest on the race within the race, if the Slovenian can be stopped, and all the rest of the action since our two Welshman last caught up. Got any questions for the guys?
