The Tour de France is here and For The Love Of Cycling is on the ground.
In this special episode, Ned Boulting, Lizzie Deignan and Pete Kennaugh record from inside the XDS-Astana team bus on the eve of Stage 1, bringing you right into the heart of the biggest race in cycling.
With Pete now working as a DS for Astana, the team gets a rare behind-the-scenes look at the atmosphere inside a Tour de France setup before racing begins, as they catch up, talk through the opening team time trial in Barcelona, and discuss what Stage 1 could mean for the general classification battle.
How much can teams gain (or lose) in the opening TTT? Who does the route favour? And what is the mood like inside a team bus just hours before the Tour gets underway?
It’s part race preview, part reunion, and part all-access look at life inside the Tour de France.
And this is just the start - For The Love Of Cycling will be bringing you daily episodes from the road throughout the Tour, with Ned and the team following the race across France.
