  • Tom Pidcock is out at Ineos
    Dec 4 2024

    Tom Pidcock is leaving INEOS Grenadiers at the end of the year, likely to join Q36.5. What does it mean for Pidcock, and what does it mean for his (potential) new team?

    Remco Evenepoel was injured in a crash with a mail truck and Jonny has invented a new quiz.

    Plus, Steve Cummings, a former INEOS rider and sports director, is joining Team Jayco AlUla. Cummings’ press release throws some fantastic shade, while his tactical acumen will be a valuable asset to Jayco AlUla and its leader, Ben O'Connor.

  • The WorldTour's backroom superstars
    Nov 20 2024

    This week on Spin Cycle: Caley, Jonny, and Ronan revisit the story of carbon monoxide use in the pro peloton, discussing Romain Bardet's ridiculously eloquent statements against its use for performance enhancement. The conversation then shifts to Red Bull's sponsorship of the Bora-Hansgrohe team and whether the team is poised to "level up" in the 2025 season after limited financial support from Red Bull in 2024. The hosts highlight the team’s recent hires, Dan Bigham and Johnny Wale, as potential "backroom superstars" who could make a significant impact on the team's performance through marginal gains.

    The episode concludes with the news that Trinity Racing, a British Continental team, has shut down. Why didn't INEOS, a team in need of a development squad, partner with them?
