France is still where it’s at as David, Chris and Gary look back on another historic Tour de France Femmes, but is the race grand enough not only for its name but for the women who light it up every summer? We have thoughts! Red Bull Remco Evenepoel opens our perennial salary cap discussion and we start passing the envelope around for Tadej Pogacar’s retirement collection. Don’t worry, it’s still a while off!

The Champs Elysees is dead. Long live the Champs Elysees! After 3 weeks, 21 stages, 3302km and 14 stage winners, Gary, Chris, David and John actually find 5 things to talk about that aren’t Tadej. But he gets a mention anyway.

Photos: The first and the latest riders to win on the Champs Elysees, the similarities between Walter Godefroot’s 1975 season and Wout Van Aert’s 2025 prior to them winning in Paris are striking. Busy Classics season and early stage races had yielded very little by way of results for either racer until the biggest race of the year arrived in Paris. (Credits: Getty)
