Episode 45: Criterium du Dauphine The Criterium du Dauphine is one of those races that would be better if riders actually specialized in one-week GC wins.

Episode 40: Liege-Bastogne-Liege 2016 The sport’s oldest event sees a new course this year, and while I think it didn’t exactly need the adjustment, it sill gave me plenty of things to talk about with Dane Cash of VeloHuman.
