Join Lionel Birnie and Graham Willgoss as they complete their own countdown to the 113th edition of the greatest race in the world. After Jonas Vingegaard impressed at the Giro d'Italia, it was over to Tadej Pogačar to show what sort of condition he's in as he aims for a record-equalling fifth Tour title. In a shorter, but by no means less intense, edition of the Swiss stage race Pogačar left few people in any doubt that he's the number one favourite for the Tour. Who else impressed in Switzerland, Slovenia and Belgium as the Tour beckoned? And which big name star will miss the race and what impact will that have on his team? We get deep into all that in our final episode of The Cycling Podcast's Attitude Camp. Next week we complete our final preparations for the Tour de France with a bumper three-part preview, kicking off on Tuesday.
