It’s great when the crew is actually talking cycling. But you guys have to get the advertisements under control. Way too many and WAY too long for that short of a podcast. It is honestly like 25% of the pod sometimes. Take a page out of the top pods out there. Just load up the ads at the beginning so people can zip through them. Don’t ramble through them. Just give the ad and move on.

During the Tour de France it has far too many ads. Outside of that month, when Lance isn’t on it, the amount of ads is reasonable and there is a lot of good discussion.

Own goal by the podcast. I don’t want spoilers from todays stage of a grand tour when I open a podcast app. Most people cannot watch every stage of a grand tour live.

Greg LeMond rode CLEAN. My inspiration. Watch The last rider in theatre's now.

Good podcast to keep up with the cycling races. The ads are entertaining segments if you take it with a grain of salt

“I was never one of those I’m shocked simply shocked” that’s there’s doping going on. Lance Johann and George are engaging characters and are truly victims of their own making. Am I excusing their behavior and tactics especially the abject ruthlessness of Lance Armstrong (which in my opinion was the main reason for his downfall not the systemic doping that “forced” every pro cyclist worth his weight to partake accordingly ) no I’m not but all factors have to be considered to look at this calmly without reverting to a puritanical view of cycling and elite sport in general which up to this point is unrealistic sadly. Today’s wrap up had the American JB crediting Belgian JB with having the most grand tour victories as a DS. Depending on your perspective this is entirely false or true with an asterisk. What I and many fans would love to hear or see would be a true mea culpa episode from Bruyneel , George and Lance it would an amazingly cathartic moment and no it probably wouldn’t sway the detractors but from what I understand based on the popularity of the podcasts show a sincere effort at redemption through a self imposed truth and reconciliation round table that would perhaps lay to rest the dragons that continue to torment the guilty ones.

JB squared is excellent. Johan is the best. We’re lucky to have him.

If you like cycling, The Move is great. Special shout out to Johan B., his commentary is outstanding!

JB2 is good, substantive. The MOVE is wandering with sidebars and overwhelmed by ads. There are a lot of good cycling podcasts now and they are making it hard to want to keep listening. If the show expanded on what it offers substantively it could be the best out there.

This show has gone downhill. It is ~15 minutes of TdF discussion and ~15 minutes of shilling for the sponsors. MOVEing on to better coverage.

I started following cycling this year during the Giro and I was so pumped when I found the king himself had a podcast. Since then I’ve found a lot of great content creators in the cycling world. I love them all but this podcast is on another level completely. The quality is Grade A.

Incredibly disappointed by your charade of a good-faith conversation about fairness, which really was a transphobic screed against a tiny marginalized community. Your lack of humility in taking on this project is only surpassed by your moral vacancy in being any sort of judge of “fairness”. Hope those checks you cash are sweet. You’ve lost me.

Living breathing toilet lance armstrong continues to exist for some reason. Okay

why listen to a liar and a cheat? just don’t do it…

Johan Bruyneel is a pretty interesting commentator. Armstrong is a narcissistic idiot that ought to be in jail for all his white collar fraud. In fact, Armstrong should be in prison for fraud; if he was black, he would be. #imprisonarmstrong Lance was stripped of his yellow jerseys for one reason and one reason only. He was a bombastic, bully, a-hole who couldn’t keep his belligerent mouth shut. He kept hounding and publicly berating anyone who would dare not bow down: including Racing and Testing officials. This went on for years, and someone finally had enough. It’s 100% Lance’s own fault. It’s as if he couldn’t stand only being revered and respected… but had to have unquestioned fealty on top of that (while he alone was allowed to spew his belligerent ire with impunity). If he would’a kept his mouth shut and behaved like a champion, not a miserable punk, he’d still be “THE” Champion.

Love the show, but Lance needs to hand over the reigns to JB squared and Spencer (and George). He can jet set around the world instead, as it’s obvious he’s not up on cycling like the rest. And the intro song kills my ears every time I push play. Every time. Change it up. Please.

For those looking for strategy, analysis, and insight, it’s hard to find anything better. Johann Bruyneel has an encyclopedic knowledge of the sport, and for new or long term cycling fans, you’ll learn a lot and appreciate the sport more. When George, JB, and Lance chat together, the show takes on the flavor of friends at the local pub sharing a few laughs. Big thumbs up and keep up the great work!

I am so tired of having to listen to Lance cut down George. Grow up will you, it detracts from an otherwise good show.

Still listening but advertising is getting onerous. Also LA being more interested in golf than cycling is not endearing.

If there's a bad take on a topic, this podcast will find it.

I really used to like this podcast. I especially enjoyed it during the TDF. Unfortunately, what probably started out as a simple idea has now been commercialized and monetized to an extreme. Literally the beginning of every show is like an infomercial, with even more of it is spaced throughout the episodes. George seems like a nice guy, but listening to him and Lance reminiscing about the “old days” gets....well...old. Sorry guys. Turn the page. We don’t care. And Johan on the show makes it all even worse. He does nothing but offer details that no one outside the sport would care about. I feel sorry for JB. He used to do a wonderful job and now he can barely get a word in. I hope they’re back in form for the TDF. Maybe it would be a better show if it went back to just Lance and JB. Unfortunately, since settling his lawsuit, Lance seems less humble and appears to have regained some of the cockiness that made him the most hated cyclist in the sport. So maybe it’s a confluence of events, but this podcast isn’t working as well anymore.

Absolutely love lance armstrong . Who he is , who he has become .👍👍👍👍

This is the analysis I’ve been missing from the TDF. No criticism of Bob Roll, Phil and the gang; I love the coverage. But sometimes the depth isn’t there. This show filled the gap.

The Move is my go to podcast for cycling year round and especially Le Tour. I love the interactions between Lance and George. The episode I just listened to included the Mark Cavendish interview which was outstanding. You may have your opinion on the past but these guys are the best and remind me that cycling is fun!

Update (7/16/22) THEMOVE is 50% ad read. Analysis is lacking for retired professional cyclists. However, JB2 with Johan Bruyneel is very good analysis. Check out The Lanterne Rouge Podcast for top shelf analysis. Today’s (9/4/20) episode. 54 minutes long. Didn’t talk about TdF stage 7 until minute 31. Compared to circa 2018-19, the 2020 version has too many ads (half seemingly for companies LA has invested financially), and too many pointlessly boring conversations having nothing to do with the TdF or professional cycling. LA version 2.0 has left this year’s show. Hincapie is great.

Lance needs to stop talking about himself or referring to his past. Ditto the whole crew. No one cares anymore and it’s very old news. What he and the team can do is to share their excellent insight on the racing now. Secondly, stop with the incessant ads and absolutely kill that awful intro music. I know a musician friend did it for you but it’s the worst possible intro music I’ve ever heard on any podcast, ever!

In between ad reads and Lance asserting his alpha male dominance over George, they sometimes talk about bicycling.

Just like other listeners I’ve been following this show sense the beginning. And feel the same. 30 min show 25 mins of ads. Disappointing as this was a truly great show that has been ruined

I’ve been listening to the pod since the first year - and loved the race insights. It seems this year the show is now an avenue for ads. Two thirds of the content is now ad reads, or product promo, Lance schtick (which has grown tired after 4 years) and emails. There’s really only about ten minutes of content that focuses on discussing the previous stage and/or previewing the next stage.

Old dopers still have a job. Boring people to death about their old doping feats . 0 TDF wins . Had doping friend George on today , in between commercials

I used to love listening to the Move for race insights, etc. I appreciated George & Lance’s insights on the big races but now Lance just goes off on unrelated topics or does ad reads anytime one of the co-hosts begins to make an interesting point or he goes off on putting others down to build his ego. I’ve gotten where I just tune in for JB2 because they stay on topic & we get to hear real insights from Johan without so many interruptions. Lanterne Rouge has replaced The Move. JB2 is still very valuable. I am working on my Spanish because I bet La Movida is also better than The Move at this point

I’m working on my Spanish now. It’s the only way you learn anything from this podcast. johann and JB should go solo.

Lance and the boy’s have rewritten how cycling should be presented. It’s a combination of knowledge and a combo of laughter while presenting current cycling events!!! I love hearing these guys discuss and goof on each other. The best cycling podcast by one of the best cyclists ever, keep it up my dudes!!

Lance, George and JB2 bring it every episode. Look forward to the insight and laughs each time.

When it comes to doping STF up! Don’t whine about the police, you guys are the reason we need the police to help catch cheats

The new super fan routine: watch Tour stage, listen to JB2, listen to The Move. See you in the douches!

My original review appears below and is still applicable; perhaps even more so as the ad reads and ads clothed in conversation have become interminable. BUT there is -- or at least was -- a redeeming factor: the JB2 podcast! JB2 is really the only one I listen to now, and my coworkers in the bike shop agree that JB2 is better than the main show with Lance and George, even though we still respect their views when they're not schilling something. So naturally, they didn't give us a JB2 after Stage 13 (2021) and I'm wondering whether we'll get a JB2 after today's Stage 14. Sigh. Here's my original review: I really enjoyed this podcast last year (2017) during Le Tour; this year not so much. It seems that Lance, having settled his legal liabilities, is now free to monetize everything without fear of losing it all- and he is doing so aggressively. I still enjoy Lance’s take on things, but the show is mostly commercials now. I do not blame anybody for making a buck, but in this case it does make the podcast choppier and less enjoyable.

I’ve switched to Johan. Too many ads and other things that aren’t talking about the actual Tour. I think they need a set agenda to discuss the race cuz they go all over the place. Just when they get rolling with something interesting Lance has to talk about himself or we hear another ad.

Guys - I am an original listener back to the streamliner in Lance’s driveway. This is my 1st comment ever to any show. Today I am listening to Stage 3 with Lance, JB and George. I enjoy the racing insights and comments but today it is 9 minutes and 45 seconds of commercials and banter before you really start to talk about a stage full of drama and significant impacts to riders, the GC and more. Let’s get back to what attracted listeners like me to this podcast - focus the talk on TDF and cycling and limited the repetitive (same spiel every day) commercials. Right now if I only have time for one cycling podcast it would be JB Squared which is a nod to JB’s hosting and directing the conversation and Johan Bruyneel’s straight forward approach, depth of knowledge, active connections within the riding community and thoughtful insights. Decide to make The Move back to what made it great at the start!

One of my favorite post-race podcasts. I really appreciate hearing Johann’s thoughts and analysis. I have so much appreciation for the whole crew of both this & the move pod. (Still loving this pod in 2021!)

This podcast is terrific. You can’t say you love cycling and all major tours without listening to Lance & George. Keep it up guys!

Hey JB*JB (2), If you two continue on your own without your two wayward amigos, I’ll keep listening loyally. Your conversation is the most informative and interesting I’ve heard during this fantastic Giro, and I’ve been listening to many of them. Last fall, before the election, I discovered that the only medicine that was strong enough to keep me from being literally sick with anxiety about our bonkers world was following anything and everything that has to do with professional bicycle road racing. I imagine I’m not the only person out here that finds great comfort and inspiration in following this golden age of racing. Your commentary is a gold nugget among the vast mediascape of cycling, and this new iteration JB2, is my favorite. Thanks guys, from the bottom of my heart. Please do keep it up.

Especially with Apple’s new Podcast terrible changes, it is a pain to remove the Spanish version from my feed. I am sure it is a problem for the people who don’t want the English version. Come on.

Good podcast but holy smokes there are a lot of ads. It’s like 40% ads to fast forward through.

I love the podcast. Johan is so insightful, breaking down the nuances and intricacies of cycling. A true genius . Lance, George and JB are great together talking cycling and I love their perspectives. The banter is great and I find myself laughing out loud at their jokes and jabs. Brian

Love the JB squared podcast, it’s all meat and potatoes, direct with insight you won’t hear anywhere else. Love you Lance but you and Hincapie are like anal sex, fine for anniversaries but generally rough and messy. Four voices is to many on this platform, go for a bike ride and give us more Johan!!!

I’ve been listening to this podcast since 2019, and Johan’s analysis is simply the best out there. Loved his daily coverage of the 2019 Vuelta with JB Heger. If Johan produced a podcast daily (in English, that is) I’d listen to it every day. Perhaps as importantly, Johan has the most soothing voice out there. I’ve joked that I could listen to him read the phone book and would find it relaxing. I’ve taken to listening to La Movida, where I understand nary a word he says, and found the same result. A great way to relax after the work day.

One of the greatest cycling podcast out there. Big fan! Keeps me laughing and makes me feel like I’m sitting with these guys!

If Lance weren’t on, it would be passable. But seriously, the guy doesn’t even make a pretense of following cycling anymore. He just wants to reminisce about the old days when he was winning. It’s much more like listening to a bunch of has-beens talking about their glory days. When he’s not around, George and the JBs have a much more interesting conversation and it’s worth listening to. Also way too much of Lance promoting whatever snake oil is underwriting each show.

If you love the tdf and that’s it, it’s a great podcast. If you love other races like tour of the Basque Country, find another podcast. Also, the podcast seems too catered towards ppl who don’t know anything about cycling. I don’t need jb describing drafting and aerodynamics to me. Silly, if you are listening to a cycling podcast you know basic stuff.
