In an emotional day two of the tour, Mathieu Van der Poel took the yellow jersey by powering up the Mur-de-Bretagne for a sensational stage win on his debut - having attacked and attacked and attacked again. The Dutchman is the grandson of late great Raymond Poulidor, who died in 2019 and finished second overall in the Tour three times and third five times during the 1960s and 70s – an era dominated by Jacques Anquetil and Eddy Merckx. Famously, Poulidor never wore the yellow jersey, making Van der Poel’s achievement all the sweeter. Ned Boulting, Matt Rendell, David Millar and Pete Kennaugh consider it to be one of the greatest stage wins they’ve ever witnessed, so why not randomly invite footballer Lee Dixon onto the podcast to hold court?! (To be fair, he knows his onions.)
