In this week’s episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe is joined by François Thomazeau & Richard Abraham, as we deliver our verdict on the newly minted 2025 men’s & women’s Tour de France routes. François is in Paris to catch up with old friends and familiarise himself with the new Tour parcours. We discuss whether it really is a Jean-Marie Leblanc tribute Tour, how delighted Tadej Pogačar should be this evening…& why François may soon have to learn to love La Plagne. Follow us on social media: Twitter @cycling_podcast Instagram @thecyclingpodcast Indeed If you are looking to hire someone for your company, maybe the best way isn’t to search for a candidate but to match with Indeed.
