Tour de France podcast: Who is Geraint Thomas; why Moscon must go




VeloNews Podcasts show

Summary: You expected to see a Team Sky rider wearing yellow this week, didn't you. But did you expect it would be Geraint Thomas? We didn't. So, Fred and Andy dig into who Welshman is, and why he's gotten so good. Fred talks to Team Sky coach Rod Ellingworth to learn more. But before that, we have to talk about another, less likable member of Team Sky, Gianni Moscon. He was kicked out of the Tour on Sunday and we have plenty of takes about why the Italian is bad for cycling. Plus, we hear from American Chad Haga who is racing in his first Tour de France. This episode of the VeloNews podcast is sponsored by CycleOps, makers of the Hammer indoor smart trainer. The VeloNews editorial staff may be hunched over computers all day during the Tour de France, but we can stay fit all July, day or night, by hopping on the Hammer and riding in our favorite virtual training app, like Zwift, Rouvy, TrainerRoad, or The SufferFest.
