TWO WEEKS TO GO! It's so nearly time for Watts Occurring Live. It's going to be the night of the year; we promise. Come and see Luke and G at the Lowry Theatre in Salford on Friday November 8th. The last tickets are available here: https://premier.ticketek.co.uk/shows/show.aspx?sh=GERAINT24
Tadej Pogacar has had the season to end all seasons. But it was truly complete until he'd walked home with a couple of Watts Occurring awards? We'll let you be the judge of that.
Yes, the boys are back for the final Watts Occurring of the year and, of course, it's our annual awards show.
Rider of the Year, Win of the Year, Team of the Year, Race of the Year... the list goes on and on.
And yes, that is our last Watts of 2024. Thanks to every single listener who's joined the ride.
Next week? The GTCC is back. Get ready.

Did you watch Lombardia this weekend? And were you surprised by the result? No, of course you weren't. It was an absolute clinic from Pogi yet again, and capped what could just be the finest season the sport has ever seen.
Luke and G reckon he might have to be a bit more like Maximus Decimus Meridius if he wants to keep his popularity next season (you'll have to listen to understand that one... but we doubt he'll care either way). What a weapon.
There's plenty for the boys to catch up on - and we'll be back for the final Watts Occurring of the year next week, with our Annual Awards Show.
See you then.

Have you got your tickets for Watts Occurring Live? Come for a night out with Luke and G at the Lowry Theatre in Salford on November 8th. The last tickets are available here: https://premier.ticketek.co.uk/shows/show.aspx?sh=GERAINT24
Did you catch the Gravel World Championships this weekend? It was a cracking race, won by the multi-disciplinary weapon that is Mathieu van der Poel.
The British gravel champ Connor Swift battled to a very impressive sixth in amongst the Belgian mafia - and as an INEOS Grenadier, the boys thought it was time to get him on the pod to learn all about the inner workings of a major gravel race. Is G tempted to give it a bash, as Connor's wingman?! With a bit of peer pressure, we think it could happen...
We loved having Connor on the pod - and realised we should have done this years ago. Ledge.
And, as you'll have heard at the start of the pod, Luke will be on stage at Rouleur Live this November, on Friday 15th - and we've got a cheeky 10% off tickets for Watts Occurring listeners. Use code Watts10 at rouleur.cc/collections/rouleur-live-tickets.
We'll be back next week with a big Lombardia review. See you then.

We've been teasing this one for a while - but Luke is finally ready to announce what he's doing in 2025!
He'll be staying in cycling - and don't worry, the pod's not going anywhere!
We can't wait to see him embracing his new role next season.
We'll be back later in the week for our weekly Watts.

This week's Watts Occurring is dedicated to Muriel Furrer.
Last week we welcomed Remco Evenepoel to the show, and this week we welcomed another weapon - Britain's newest breakout star, Cat Ferguson.
Winner of the women's world junior road race and time trial in Zurich last week, she has the cycling world at her feet.
Luke and G loved getting to know the lass from Yorkshire - and we're sure you will too.
Cat is turning pro with Movistar next season and we will 100% be checking back in with her.

Last week we promised we'd be back with a big star to preview the worlds road race and, well, we think we've delivered. Ambassador De Plus roped in his compatriot Remco Evenepoel - fresh from winning the Worlds TT - and the pair gave G a call from the Belgian team hotel.
The little b*stard was on great form - as, of course, was the Carrot of Ninove. G quizzed them on tactics, rivals, and the tough route that awaits them on Sunday.
We can't wait to see how it all unfolds.

Pog's been winning bike races in Canada, Wout van Aert's signed a lifetime contract with Visma-Lease a Bike, and G's been out training for six hours. That's plenty of material to kick off a pod with.
And, to make it all the sweeter, the boys were actually in the same room together for the record. That doesn't happen very often.
There's also a Worlds TT to preview and we'll be back next week with an as yet unnamed star guest to preview the road race, We're all ears for your suggestions.

Today's pod very nearly didn't happen - because G fell asleep on the sofa. But he emerged from his power nap to join Luke for a review of the Vuelta, Tour of Britain, and answer a whole host of your questions.
There's an open and honest discussion about the current situation at the INEOS Grenadiers after a challenging Vuelta and the boys' hopes for the future of the team.

It's De Pluski's birthday today - so what better way to spend it than podding with G?
We've missed the Ambassador on the pod so G gave him a call and we got his thoughts on the Vuelta, what he's been up to, and the lowdown on G staying at his house after the Renewi Tour.
Luke and G will be reunited for tomorrow's alternative Vuelta commentary on the Eurosport Cycling Instagram - come and see them from 2:30pm UK time.
See you all then.

The boys are back on the pod! It's been a while since Luke and G caught up, and boy is there lots to discuss.
G's racing hard in Renewi and breaking heart rate records, there's a nuts Vuelta going on in Spain, and Luke's slipping into his comfortable retirement life.
They'll also be back on alternative commentary duty for Eurosport next week - keep an eye on our social channels for details of that one.
See you all then.

G's back from his summer holidays and ready to return to racing at the Renewi Tour. He's not gonna fly, but he's looking forward to supporting INEOS' strong lineup in Belgium.
One thing's for sure though: he's glad not to be in Spain. The first week of the Vuelta has been a rollercoaster - excellent for armchair viewing, not so much for racing in 40+ degree heat.
With Luke away, G called up Producer George to run through the craziness on the roads of Spain and he answered plenty of your questions from Twitter.
We'll be back later in the week with a classic massage table pod from Renewi as G adapts to life back in the bunch.

The Vuelta is here and we're sure it won't come as a surprise to you all that G is not racing this year. Remember, Spain is for holidays.
Ambassador De Pluski will be flying the Watts Occurring flag in the peloton though and, with G sunning himself on a beach, Luke gave Laurens a call to get the lowdown on the third and final Grand Tour of the season.
It all starts tomorrow with a time trial in Lisbon - and De Pluski's roommate young Josh Tarling hopped on the pod as well, to tell us all about it. Can he win the red jersey on day one? That'd be pretty cool.
Who's your favourite for the Vuelta? Tweet us @Watts_Occurring to let us know - and we'll be back in a few days to run through the early action.

Would you take G's palmares, or Remco Evenepoel's? It's become a tricky question after everyone's favourite little bastard did the Olympic double last week. What a fella.
Luke put that to G on the pod as the boys dug into all the action from the Olympics - and there's a lot to catch up on.
We're also entering full on planning mode for our live show at the Lowry Theatre in Salford on November 8th - and to make Producer George's life a bit easier, he asked the listeners for their suggestions and got the boys to rank them.

G's not on a massage table this week, or on his bed - no, he's in his wife's car, because that's where the signal is strongest on holiday. One day Watts Occurring will get more professional, we promise.
Luke's back from his DS debut at the Czech Tour, where he used ice hockey icons to motivate the lads, and there's a review of last weekend's cycling action at the Olympics, before some bold road race predictions.
We'll be back next week to see how it all plays out.

G's home from the Tour and adapting back to life at home after the best part of three months on the road. Sadly, his wifi signal was nowhere near as strong as his riding has been lately, and we lost him halfway through the record - but he was on great form before that!
Luke enlisted the help of Producer George - hello! - to finish the pod, pick our Chapeau of the Tour, and preview his first ever race as an official Sport Director. Good luck Rowey!
We hope you enjoyed our Tour coverage - we certainly enjoyed bringing it to you. We'll be back next week with some Olympic action and to start prepping for the Vuelta. It'll be here before you know it - but no, G definitely won't be riding. Spain's for holidays, remember.
See you then.

Just when you think you've seen it all from Pogi... he goes and does it again. We are happy to call the Tour de France over. That was nuts.
Fresh from an hour of alternative commentary on @eurosportcycling's Instagram this afternoon, Luke and Tom hopped on to reflect on that crazy stage - and another remarkable ride from Tadej Pogacar.
He didn't take home Continental Tyres' Chapeau of the Day though - you'll have to listen to hear who gets the nod today.
Luke's gonna be roadside for stage 20 and can't wait to pick up some goodies from the caravan. If he makes it back off the mountain alive, we'll be back for another pod tomorrow.

Well that was a fun day out at the Tour. We loved seeing G and De Pluski flying the flag in the break - and Laurens battled to a valiant fourth out on the road.
G told Tom all about their big day out, picked his Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day (this could have been controversial) and is starting to count down the days until Sunday, when he'll be home with a G&T in his hand.

No, this is not a drill: we do indeed have actual A-List Hollywood star Ben Stiller on the pod today. How's that for a rest day show?
As our listeners will know, Ben's a huge cycling fan, he loves following the Grand Tours, and he's a vocal supporter of G's across social media. He was delighted to accept G's offer to come on the pod and the guys had a great time with the star of Zoolander, Dodgeball, Meet the Parents... the list goes on and on.
Luke and G absolutely loved chatting to him about his love for the Tour, how he watches the action from the States, and got plenty of advice from him on our upcoming Watts Occurring live show, on November 8th at the Lowry Theatre in Salford. Will Ben be there? Who knows.
You can get your tickets here.
G also gave us a typical rest day update and waxed lyrical about Ambassador De Pluski's ride in the breakaway yesterday.

WE'VE BOOKED ANOTHER LIVE SHOW! On November 8th, Watts Occurring is hitting the Lowry Theatre in Salford, Greater Manchester. Get your tickets here.
We're back after one of the biggest days of the Tour so far - and another remarkable performance from Tadej Pogacar. This race is showing no signs of slowing down.
G's been under the weather, as he explains, but felt better out there today, got over the Tourmalet without too much trouble, and is hoping to come back around.
He's got plenty of tales from the road, there's a belting new French nickname for Tom Pidcock, and our Continental Tyres Chapeau of the Day came from the breakaway. You'll have to let us know if you agree with our pick.
We'll see you on the rest day - just the small matter of five more categorised climbs to scale tomorrow.

We've got a treat for you today. The sprinters are back from the rest day with a bang so we've got one of the world's best and a five-time Tour de France stage winner in the shape of Caleb Ewan to come and talk alllll about it with his old mate Luke.
Could Philipsen finally silence the doubters this Tour and get the job done? You'll have to listen to find out.
There's also a voice note from G after what he called the easiest Tour stage ever and Luke fires plenty of questions Caleb's way. The Aussie pocket rocket's on great form.
We'll be back on Friday - unless something wild happens in the meantime.
