In the latest edition of the Cycling News Podcast, brought to you by Sportful and Pinarello, we hear from Tour de France rider Marc Hirschi (Sunweb), EF Pro Cycling sport director Charlie Wegelius, and four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome (Ineos Grenadiers), a four-time Tour de France champion, in Tirreno-Adriatico.

We also cover breaking news from the Tour de France, where race director Christian Prudhomme was forced to refrain from racing due to a positive test for COVID-19, and four team staff from the WorldTour team that tested all riders on their first rest day were forced to go home for the same reason. News also covered.

Daniel Benson and Ed Pickering analyze the opening nine days of racing and dissect the top ten.
