It's been a long goodbye but our friend Daniel Benson was the man to break the news that Tom Pidcock has left INEOS for the second-tier Q36.5. How hs Pidcock's journey taken him to the Italian outfit and who exactly are they? Sanny and Katy are joined by Alicia Moyo to discuss Pidder's big move and why being the main man could mean we see him at his best in 2025. .. but will that be away from the stage races and more on the one-day scene? Speaking of which, we get breaking news on Tadej Pogacar's race calendar for 2025, we reflect on heartbreak for Remco Evenepoel after his crash, Maxim van Gill's move to Bora and friend of the pod, Julius Johansen gets his World Tour move to UAE Team Emirates. And on that... the pod slag off, their new jersey!

Saint Piran announce they're folding and with that, the British men's professional road racing scene is down to just one team, INEOS Grenadiers. Just how bleak is it for cycling in the UK and are there any silver linings? Cycling writer and editor Daniel Benson gives his thoughts and we talk Tom Pidcock and INEOS, after Daniel broke lots of news on that situation. There's room for transfers, the women's peloton, Pogacar and online impersonators, all that and more with Sanny and Katy on, On Yer Bike!

Pidcock stays, Cummings leaves, and a development team in the works - but they're German? It's all change at Britain's top team - we chat INEOS, Demi Vollering to FDJ Suez, the Tour de France routes for 2025, goodbye from Cavendish as Romain Bardet has his say on the pro peloton, will Blue Sky change cycling social media and much more on this edition of On Yer Bike!

How many times will we say Tadej Pogacar is victorious on the road in 2024 - no more - the season is over as the Slovenian blows everyone away in Lombardia. Is road racing now the battle for second or even third when he’s racing? No Tom Pidcock present - has he thrown his toys out the pram one too many times at INEOS Grenadiers?! We have a big old chat on what's not been working for the Brit and whether we'll see him in an INEOS jersey again - could even end up privateering in cyclocross?? Lotte Kopecky bounces back from a stage 5 crash in the Simac Tour to show her domination of the women's peloton, We say goodbye to Christine Majerus in Holland and to the great Grace Brown in France as she bows out of cycling, with glory in the Chrono des Nations. Africa's road championships misses it's champion from the women's race, there's a spotlight on cyclocross for all the wrong reasons... and in the age old battle of Man v Horse, Tim de Clercq comes out on top.

It’s a Dutch domination at the Gravel Worlds as Marianne Vos and Mathieu van der Poel take gold. How much gravel do you need for a gravel race and should more events take in multi-story car parks? 

Looking at the finish photos from Paris-Tour - should that be called a gravel race instead?! 

There’s deja vu at Giro dell'emilia as Tadej Pogacar takes the win with a strikingly similar attack as  Matteo Jorgensen shows he’s a once AND twice bitten sort of person.

And as F1’s Valtteri Bottas swaps four wheels for two, which other sports stars should get on their bikes?

Tadej Pogacar - wow. The third man ever to win the Giro, Tour de France and World title in the same year, as if you didn't already know! We look back at a mad 100km solo in the men's race. We reflect on Demi Vollering choosing violence that ultimately opened the door for Lotte Kopecky to defend her title and we bring you the para cycling headlines as the Netherlands top the table but GB's Dame Sarah Storey is just one of the show-stealers.

We've had the blistering Time Trials and the World Championship Road Race awaits! It's a bumper episode, we open talking cycling transfers as riders get their moves in and Bora boost their youthful line-up. We review the time trials for juniors, U23s, Elite Women and Men with Remco Evenepoel emulating Grace Brown with World and Olympic success in the same year. Can they both make it a double double? Pogacar's going for the triple crown, can Mathieu van der Poel stop him? Where's Lotte Kopecky at in her quest to defend her crown and which of at least three Dutchwomen will be taking her on?! And speaking of doubles by the way, what about 18-year-old Cat Ferguson - we shine a light on a star in the making winning TT and RR world gold.

The World championships are upon us! We look ahead to the time trials ahead of another episode we'll do on the road race. Can anyone stop Remco Evenepoel and Lotte Kopecky? There's Euro road champs to review, Tadej Pogacar reminds us with 20km to go in Montreal why he's the one to place your bets (of course) in the Worlds roads but wait... is that Mathieu van der Poel winning a spring in Luxembourg? Plus why is everything so 'SUPER' in cycling??!

Could we see Jonas Vingegaard at the Giro d'Italia? Would he be up against Pogacar?? And more news - could we see a Slovenian super-team at the World Championships in Tadej Pogacar together with Primoz Roglic?? Sanny and Katy team up to discuss the news so far this week. They also look ahead to the European Road Championships and what British Cycling have said about not having a team out in Flanders. With the end of the Grand Tour season, we also get your thoughts and reflections on the year so far and throw ahead towards the end of the season and 2025.

Matevž Govekar gives Bahrain victory on the Felixstowe seafront as Stevie Williams takes what we already knew was coming his way in the overall GC. BUT with Paul Magnier crashing out, how has Ethan Vernon ended up winning the points jersey despite again coming short in the final sprint? There's turmoil at INEOS, with some explosive comments from Tom Pidcock, and, after the 2024 ToB looked in doubt, is road cycling in Britain in a better place than it was this time last year?

Primoz Roglic looks good in red doesn't he? A third maillot rojo for the Slovenian after overtaking Ben O'Connor in the General Classification in the week and bringing it home for the time trial. Sanny and Katy reflect on a crazy week of racing and on O'Connor's achievements to come second, Jay Vine to take the mountain jersey and a moment to savour for Stage 21 winner Stefan Kung.
