Spencer Martin and co-host Andrew Vontz break down early-season racing, as well as discussing how early crashes to top stars like Mads Pedersen have already shaped the 2026 season, and if Tadej Pogačar and Mathieu van der Poel are taking unnecessary risks with their off-season alpine ski trips. They also debate whether SoCal’s CBR race series is truly the heart of American bike racing, why the Unibet Rockets were left out of the 2026 Tour de France, and discuss a few standout comments from Quinn Simmons’ recent interview, as well as whether XDS-Astana needs to refresh its team rap video format.
