episode 23: THE ROAD BOOK #23: From Siena to SanRemo and beyond. Ned and David post-lockdown re-boot racing
Ned's passion for racing remains undiminished, his constant surprise at the mediocrity of a bike racing hotel is surprising. Meanwhile David sits at his desk somewhere near Girona. The two of them discuss quite a few things that have happened the past few days, none of them particularly stand out. They also try and commentate on a race that happens to be on the TV in the background.

episode 24: THE ROAD BOOK #24: 2020 Milano Sanremo Report
Ned Boulting is in Sanremo. He takes us inside the pre-race buzz and transfers us to the finish line frenzy - he is our guide, and you'd have to have been in the race to have seen more than he witnessed today, fortunately for David that's useful because he's only watched a bit of it. They discuss the race and everything that happened while also straying yet never too far.

episode 25: THE ROAD BOOK #25: The Dauphiné - "Mountain Squash"
Ned's back in London. David's still stuck in Spain. From tomorrow their voices will meet in France, as they resume commentary roles for the Dauphiné. This pod contains proper preview-type punditry on the route and the riders as well added REMCO!

episode 25: THE ROAD BOOK #26: Dauphiné Stage One. Plus, Wittgenstein.
For the first time ever Ned and David are commentating remotely. These were their takeaways:
Ned: A great day's racing in the very heart of France. We got excited about it all over again, then we launched off into another voyage of fruitless intellectual discovery.
David: I think Clermont Ferrand is like the town called Rugby in England. We've heard of it yet we have know idea where it is...
episode 27: THE ROAD BOOK #27: Dauphiné Stage 2. The Tractatus Of The Summit Finish.
With a kilometre to go on the Col de Porte, there were a good dozen leaders left, including Porte.
David and Ned love stuff like this. They salute the winners and not so winners of the day, and hear from Matt Rendell in Piedmont, as well as update the ever developing Life And Times Of Ludwig Wittgenstein.
