    Tour de France 2027 Starts in the UK — And Visma’s Plans for 2026
    2026/01/18
    The Tour de France is coming back to Britain — and not just for a cameo. In 2027, the UK will host the Grand Départ across Scotland, England, and Wales, marking one of the most ambitious openings in Tour history. In this episode, we break down the full route, the cultural impact, and why this matters for British cycling.

    Then we shift gears into Visma Lease a Bike’s bold 2026 strategy: Jonas Vingegaard targeting a Giro–Tour double, Wout van Aert chasing a Monument and Tour stages, and the rise of young British talent Matthew Brennan. We explore what this means for the WorldTour, the GC landscape, and the rivalry shaping modern cycling.

    We finally dive into the decision of Rapha shutting five of their clubhouses and the message that has sent through the cycling community.

    If you’re into cycling culture, performance, strategy, and the future of the sport, this episode is for you.
