• Racing Remco at Romandie and the Giro preview | Watts Occurring

  G's home from Romandie and has got a hefty debrief for Luke from the comings and goings in Switzerland. It was another solid week for G on his course to the Tour in July. Next up? Tenerife for his birthday. Ahh, lovely. Luke's been busy recording his new book - no wonder his voice sounds a bit croaky - and the boys throw their hats into the ring with some bold Giro predictions. Who do you think will make up the podium? Let us know by emailing [email protected]. See you next week, when the racing for the pink jersey will be well underway - and keep an eye on our social channels from stage one on Friday, where we'll be naming our Chapeau of the Day, sponsored by Continental Tyres.

• Late call ups, Liege tactics, and 420 watt-chats with Pogi | Watts Occurring

  Today's episode title says it all. We've got Sam 'Skippy' Watson winning the Romandie prologue 24 hours after being told to get a flight; a rundown on INEOS' kitchen sink-esque Liege-Bastogne-Liege tactics; and Pogi unsettling G by having a quiet convo with him at 420 watts. That's plenty to be going on with, but don't worry. There's lots more than that too. A classic Watts Occurring if ever we've heard one. See you next week. Learn more about your ad choices.

• Luke's magical mystery tour and De Pluski's Liege preview | Watts Occurring

  We've got a treat for you all this week: Ambassador De Pluski's back on the pod. He joined Luke, who was fresh home from the Amstel Gold Race, where... well, where he got lost. Long story. In one of the most dramatic Classics of the season, Pog didn't win. Remco didn't win. But Matthias Skjelmose did. Chapeau, Sir. Next up for both Luke (in the car) and De Pluski (on the bike) is Liege-Bastogne-Liege this Sunday. Will it be Pogi vs Remco again? Or will De Pluski pull off a wild long-range attack of his own? Who knows. Maybe if he fuels with the Luke Rowe sandwich, he'll be fine. (You'll have to listen for that one to make sense.) G will be back next week. See you then. Want to try NordVPN?

• A rumble in the Roubaix jungle and Luke's Sunday drive | Watts Occurring

  We're back baby. That's right, Luke and G are reunited for the first official Watts Occurring of 2025. The season starts now. And, of course, there is a lot to catch up on - first and foremost, Sunday's Roubaix. And it was a cracker. Mathieu van der Poel won his third on the bounce (how nuts is that?) and Tadej Pogacar showed the world that one day he could well add it to his palmares. Luke's day was equally eventful and he told G all about his first Paris-Roubaix as a Sport Director. Attention now switches to the Ardennes - and G's eyeing up a final ride at Liege-Bastogne-Liege. What do you reckon: should he do it? Let us know by emailing [email protected]. We'll be back next week with a bumper pod. Want to try NordVPN?

• Adam Hansen on rider safety, the future of cycling, and his overflowing inbox

  This week on the GTCC we've got another racing debrief from G. He's fresh off Catalunya where he enjoyed a solid week and where Ambassador De Pluski rode to a strong second on the final stage and a top 10 overall. And then we've got a bumper interview for you. Adam Hansen, the President of the CPA (essentially, the riders' union), joins us for a lengthy chat about his role, how he helps the riders, and the sheer breadth of topics his job covers. It gives a fascinating perspective on the considerations at play for all types of major decisions in professional road cycling. We hope you enjoy this one.
