It's great value for money. Highly recommend it, along with @dnlbenson.bsky.social substack.

Not sure if you're laughing or breaking in the intro. I hope it's the former, I suspect it might be the later.

Nah, it's pathetic. Not sure what insight you're providing with your "guide". Finishing OTL can mean little at P-R. Hayman was dead last in 2000, 43 mins down on the winner, and 11mins after O'Grady finished - also OTL. Dylan van Baarle finished OTL at P-R barely 6 months before he won it.

Maybe the tiebreaker could be number of Grand Tour wins?

Tendulkar, KL Rahul, Rohit, Virat and Bumrah. 😉

You do realise the Rouleur article is about Matthew Brennan, don't you?

You found Milan San Remo this year boring?

After watching Michael Storer shiver through his Seb Piquet interview, I can confirm:
It is "super, super nice to win."
He was "super, super motivated for today,"
And that the breakaway was a "super nice group."

I can watch it Ned and will, but regardless, I'm still looking forward to your meandering.

Just finished reading 133. Rouleur has been in a rich vein of form for some time now, but this was a terrific edition.

The Four are: Rog, Pog, Jonas, and Remco.
It's the first 'big four' showdown because it's the first time any of them have raced against each other in 2025.

Congratulations Adam and Geoff. I'm obviously a little biased in saying this, but thoroughly deserved. Still my fav Cricket Podcast. #cantstopwontstop 😊

You both look dapper. I hear where you are coming from re: suits too, Geoff.

FWIW, and as a member of Daniel's substack, I'm glad he's there covering Bessèges. I've really appreciated Daniel covering both the race and these horrendous safety issues.

Great recap Rachel. And a spot on synopsis of Narváez.

Can't wait to see how this rivalry plays out.

Also a little bit of sneering 😉
Excellent pod.

Good on you for calling it out, too.

Yeah, the team balance worked so much better today. It's such a formidable team.

Great write up, and nice to see Rachel is here in Adelaide again this year. Impeccable timing to be in the Jayco car with how things eventuated. Daniek certainty was super strong.

Luke Durbridge springs to mind (one team career, too). From 2010 in their CT, and will ride with Team Jayco to at least 2026.

Yeah, it's a lot of fluffing about to trial it. When I trialled it, I also had to give them my CC details.

I think you were suitably restrained about Pant. But just another reason why we need 5 day tests: you can't get this level of derangement from 4 day matches. 😊

It's also assuming he plays the next test as captain too, I guess?

A brilliant synopsis worthy of a most captivating day of test cricket. 👏

Was a fantastic pod. I'm also an F1 fan, so have read plenty of Richard's work in that sphere too. The hour chat went so quickly.

I'm a digital and print subscriber (live in Aus) ... can I just say I love the embedded video and audio. I def recommend a digital sub (at least). Best cricket magazine out there.

Out qualifies the top-4 in the WDC.
Get him back as Max's teammate. Couldn't do any worse than last time, and unfortunately couldn't do worse than Checo.
comment in response to
post
Well, unless something extraordinarily unusual happens, the winner will be from one of the big 4 teams. So if we want another different race winner, we have to hope in Lewis. [No offence Checo].

You might want to check for accuracy still. He tweeted Smith played "192 test knocks without a golden duck and now has 2 in last 4 innings." Not true, 4 innings ago, he made a 3-ball duck vs NZ. He made a golden duck in his 38th innings. So both his stats were wrong.

I know where Never Strays Far took the line from ... and I know where you've taken the line from.
comment in response to
post
It's not. It's just some random who's deliberately used their name, as well as stolen a line often used on the Never Strays Far pod.

He'd be introducing some interesting tunes to the car.

Very excited to have received my Shipping confirmation email. I better finish reading 2011 first. 😊

As an Aussie, obviously I can't make it there Ned. (Well, technically, I could. I guess). But the NSF pods have been a great way to keep abreast of the Tour.

So happy you're over here. ☺️

Such a great read. Tempted to listen to the podcast as well now. Don’t tell me, but I am hoping Jonny is reading it!
