Pro cycling’s got a new problem: the curse of the extra boring stage! After watching the Tour de France on Monday, we started wondering whether Grand Tour sprint stages need a shakeup, why they have become so boring, what can be done about it, and if anything even needs to be done about it at all!

Dan & Si also discuss how you can get paid $1,000 to ride a bike, the return of the "Wattage Bazooka", and share a quickfire interview with Visma-Lease A Bike’s Matteo Jorgensen from his Tour de France training camp!
