JB2 is the TDF podcast I'd choose if I could only watch one. Johan's comments on the race and the sport are super insightful, and JB does a great job as moderator.
-
The prep of Visma was so thorough that earlier in the season Jonas did training sessions on Tratnik's bike. This wasn't luck. They planned for the worst scenario.
-
This was by far the most entertaining stage so far. Stop the whining, don't forget that professional sports can only exist if they can provide something exciting to watch. Enough snooze fests on perfect conditions. A stage like this once in a while is a welcome change.
-
It was a great stage. We've seen enough 200km snoozefests. This one provided entertainment and that's what sport should be - entertaining.
-
Thanks for this one JB2 and thanks Johan for the wealth of information you continue to share with us. ❤ 🚴
-
Been watching every night guys ... just want to say love the commentary! TY!
-
As a cycling fans i think it was a amasing stage❤
-
Part of the "how does he get stronger?" answer comes from Johan's look into some of the top rider's Strava data that revealed that Pogacar, for example, burned just roughly 400 calories per hour during a recent sprinters stage. That is active recovery watts for even an amateur cyclist.

Great stage for spectators !! the bottle neck scenario was always going to happen on the steep section. Whilst all the main peloton was still together, seen it in Paris Roubaix when MVDP & Jorgensen Pulled away on the wet cobbles. So glad it was not raining yesterday !! or it would have been horrendous unless you were up near the front 👍 great breakdown as always Guys !! Thank you so much love the show👋

100% ASO wanted some sort of “drama” - they don’t out and out want someone to get hurt, but what do you think happens on cobbles and gravel?
-
Love the Move and JB2 - the best analysis available. Lance, George, Spencer, Johan are the best at analyzing everything in cycling. JB - better if you keep your hand away from your mouth.

Without Matteo - Jonas would have lost time
-
Professional athletes are entertainers and that stage was entertaining. No one complained when the riders had to walk up the Koppenberg.
-
The first weeks design was perfect for Pog to gain time on Jonas. I have to think that UAE has to be a bit unhappy with the time they have gained so far. Obviously it all depends on Jonas form. If he is riding well the 3rd week should favor him.
-
JB.. this was an epic stage…we are tired of 200km stages flat with no competition till the last 500m.. ASO should keep gravel. Fans keeps this sport alive and fans love this gravel stages
-
always great to listen to you two
-
Think of the hypothetical scenario where, in 2025, the riders are allowed to do this stage on a full-blown gravel bike: - less concerns over punctures and mechanical failures; - more speed on the gravel surfaces; - bike brands get to place their gravel products on the most important 'storefront' of all; - you add an extra point of interest to the race by seeing how the pros give their all on a fat tire bike; Imo, all advantages! It would be quite a spectacle.
-
great stage to watch.. so exciting...
-
The best analysis guys!
-
I feel like Johan is behind the times on this one. An amazing race today. Gravel is here to stay by the looks.
