We are looking ahead to the Tour de France in this week's episode as we review the recent racing in Switzerland, Slovenia and Belgium.

For this episode of Life in the Peloton, I chatted to Simon Mottram, who founded Rapha back in 2004. I was really interested to hear what drove him to start the company and particularly his comment that Rapha is not a clothing company, it's a cycling company.

Simon's passion for cycling shines through and it's fair to say that Rapha has changed the way we think about style on the bike...

In our final episode before the Tour de France Richard Moore, Daniel Friebe and François Thomazeau preview the race before the Grand Départ in Brittany this weekend.

Stage two of the Tour de France saw another hilltop finish, another devastating attack by one of the stage favourites, and an emotional win on the line, but this time it was Mathieu van der Poel, who also took over the yellow jersey, dedicating it to his late grandfather, Raymond Poulidor.

In our first episode of Kilometre 0 from the 2021 Tour de France we look at the region where the race is spending its first few days: Brittany, or Bretagne.
