There's a lot of podcasts out there that talk about racing and results, but we're interested in what makes the best fantasy team. Whether you're a seasoned fan or new to the cycling world, we offer a lively discussion of the sport—and try and win a few fantasy competitions in the process. Throughout the season we’ll break down race strategies, rider performances, and help you build a winning team.
