Tom Pidcock's only gone and finished on a Grand Tour podium | Watts Occurring
Yes, that's right: Tom Pidcock's done it. In the midst of his varied and incredibly successful career, people had begun to doubt if Tom would ever finish on a Grand Tour podium. Not anymore.
Luke and G were amongst them, but they're delighted to have a slice of humble pie on today's pod. Fair play, Tom.
Of course, Jonas Vingegaard's done the business and won another Grand Tour. How long can he stay at the top? And will second placed Joao Almeida ever win one?
Then of course, there's the all important British Gravel Champs to discuss. Did Swifty win? Well, yes - but which one? Conor or Ben? Listen to find out.
See you next week for some big worlds chat.

Swifty's Tour of Britain recap, Pidcock on the charge, and a shaven Pippo Ganna | Watts Occurring
Luke's joined by Ben Swift today to reflect on his emotional Tour of Britain alongside G. Swifty was there to see him over the line in Cardiff and made it to the end of 'stage seven' intact as well.
He's not finished racing for the year - and he hopes to carry on into 2026. We wish Swifty well!
Over at the Vuelta, big Pippo Ganna earned our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day for his excellent win in the stage 17 TT - and all eyes are on Tom Pidcock this weekend. Can he earn his first Grand Tour podium?
We'll be back next week to debrief it.

G’s Retirement Party, two-day hangovers and G’s final day on the bike | Lloyds Tour of Britain review | Watts Occurring
The boys catch up fresh off their post-Tour of Britain hangovers and take a look back over an emotional week across the country.
We get a look behind the curtain at how the Welsh took on G’s big celebration. Do they both remember getting home? Do they know the words to Cwm Rhondda? We’ll let you be the judge.
G talks us through his emotions on the final race day of his career, and how fighting back tears is hard enough without having to ride 130km and finish in his hometown.
There’s also some Vuelta chat in there: does the red jersey look less nailed-on for Jonas now?

Let's get ready to Tumble | Lloyds Tour of Britain stage four | Watts Occurring
The boys have made it to Wales. God's country. And they're ready to tackle the infamous Tumble tomorrow.
The final Lloyds Tour of Britain stage on English soil saw the race finish atop Burton Dasset Country Park and saw the first battle of the climbers this race. Young Romain Gregoire took the day and the race lead. Can he keep it on The Tumble?
For G, there was plenty of food-based gifts which he's keeping from Luke, some excellent Welsh Cakes deserving of our Lloyds Upstaged award, andd over in the Vuelta Joao Almeida did more than enough to take our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day.
Enjoy the final two stages - and the boys will be back to talk about it on Monday.
