    Arise, Sir Arensman and sorry Mr Yates | Tour de France stage 19 | Watts Occurring
    Jul 25 2025
    When a climber wins one stage at the Tour de France, that's usually that. Job done, get to Paris. But not Thymen Arensman. What a ride from INEOS' Dutchman on the final mountain stage at this year's Tour. Chapeau, Sir. And Pogi? Well, he did what he needed to do. Barring disaster, that's number four for the remarkable Slovenian. Luke and Tom recapped all the action - and got to the bottom of the Yates Snr mystery. He's not happy with G! We'll be back on Sunday with a VERY special pod from Paris. Don't forget, we have a brilliant offer from our friends at Rouleur for July.

    Ham sandwiches on the queen stage | Tour de France stage 18 | Watts Occurring
    Jul 24 2025
    G's ridden his final ever Tour de France queen stage - and now he's got just three days left to go. He hopped on the massage table (once he'd warmed up) to tell Tom all about his day on the fearsome Col de la Loze and his desire to be handed chocolate bars on the mountain tomorrow. If you're out there, Watts Occurring listeners, you know what to do. The whole Watts team is excited to see G in Paris on Sunday, but Tom and Luke will be back tomorrow night with one final pod before then.

    Mont Ventoux didn't disappoint | Tour de France stage 16 | Watts Occurring
    Jul 22 2025
    That's that then. G's final ever (competitive) time up Mont Ventoux. And the stage really did not disappoint. We saw the breakaway duke it out for the win, Pog and Jonas come within a whisker of catching them, and just generally some excellent Ventoux fireworks. One of the stages of the race so far. Five days to go. Each and every one is going to be a belter. We'll be back soon. Don't forget, we have a brilliant offer from our friends at Rouleur for July.

  • A final Tour TT for G and a fight back from Vingegaard? | Tour de France stage 13 | Watts Occurring

    A final Tour TT for G and a fight back from Vingegaard? | Tour de France stage 13 | Watts Occurring
    Jul 18 2025
    In 2007, a baby faced Geraint Thomas rolled out on the streets of London to start his first-ever Tour de France time trial. Today, he rode his last. This one happened to be up a brutal Pyrenean mountain under the blazing French summer sun, so we'll forgive G for not going full gas. Up front, Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard battled it out once again. And, well, you can probably guess what happened. G's teammate Connor Swift joined him to chat all about it. Nice one Swifty.

    Watch out Cav, Pog's on the march | Tour de France stage 12 | Watts Occurring
    Jul 17 2025
    It was nearly 8pm and G messaged the famous Watts Occurring WhatsApp group. 'Boys I'm not really in the mood. I'm nailed.' But we knew an hour on the massage table chatting to Luke was exactly what he needed - and by the end of tonight's pod, he'd come round. And what a day it was at the Tour. A huge break, GC gaps aplenty and - of course - an absolute clinic from Pog. We are witnessing greatness. Incredibly though... he didn't win our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day. You'll have to listen to find out who claimed the crown today. And we also have a brilliant offer from our friends at Rouleur for July.

    A new yellow jersey and the best Yates we've ever seen? | Tour de France stage 10 | Watts Occurring
    Jul 14 2025
    Bastille Day in France and the Tour usually serves up a route that will cause some drama. Well, today didn't disappoint. A nail-biting wait for young Ben Healy to see if he could nab yellow off Pogacar, a typically classy stage win from the Giro d'Italia winner, and plenty of typical Tour drama aplenty. What a race it is. The new yellow jersey won our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day and Tom and Luke also awarded yesterday's to a rider who achieved a life dream. Pretty special stuff.
