Dylan, Adam, Tyler, and Dizzle break down the biggest moments, questionable decisions, and missed opportunities from the Tour. The crew debates Pogačar’s race tactics, Jonas Vingegaard’s performance, the confusing battle for the polka-dot jersey, and whether freezing the GC times took all the excitement out of the final stage. They also discuss how course design influences racing, why cycling fans want more aggressive and unpredictable stages, and whether the Tour’s traditional ceremonial finish needs a serious overhaul. Before diving into the Tour, the guys get deep into cycling’s other favorite source of controversy: chain lube. They compare wax and drip lubes, discuss Silca’s latest release, and debate how much efficiency riders can realistically gain from obsessing over their drivetrains. Plus, the episode includes race stories from Dust Bowl, mechanical disasters, upcoming Leadville and Core Four plans, women’s professional racing highlights, and another completely normal Bonk Bros conversation about doping tests, microdosing, and whether professional cycling can ever stay ahead of performance-enhancing drugs.

The conversation quickly turns into a hilarious gear rabbit hole, including Shimano vs. SRAM, Shields vs. Dick’s Sporting Goods, and the chaos of trying to reason through modern fishing tackle.The second half leans deep into cycling, starting with Tyler’s experience riding a massive 32-inch-wheel mountain bike and what it feels like to ride a bike that’s the wrong size, the wrong material, and maybe the wrong idea altogether. From there, the group dives into the Tour de France, Jonas Vingegaard’s crash, Remco’s consistency, and whether the race got more exciting after Jonas went out.A big topic of the episode is anti-doping and testing in cycling, including the debate over middle-of-the-night testing, biological passports, microdosing, and whether surprise tests are a fair way to protect the sport’s credibility. The crew also explores why cycling gets singled out compared with other sports, and how much of elite performance comes down to talent, fatigue management, grit, and sacrifice.They wrap with listener questions about mountain bike tires and tire plugs, plus advice for junior racers trying to make it in road cycling. Scott shares what it was like racing as a junior, why racing more often can matter, and why the jump from junior to elite is so hard for many talented riders. Topics covered: Fishing, bike parts, and outdoor gear SRAM vs. Shimano 32-inch mountain bikes and bike fit Tour de France GC discussion Jonas Vingegaard crash and race implications Anti-doping, testing, and biological passports Talent vs. grit vs. fatigue management Mountain bike tire choices and tire plugs Advice for junior racers and the road to elite cycling
