Barcelona put on an absolute show — 36 degrees, brutal wind, and a street circuit that turned into a proper GC selection race. Alex was trackside for the carnage, Max is calling it from Melbourne, and this one's got everything.

In this episode:

• Brandon McNulty's ridiculous shift on the front — basically a one-man UAE train for 25km
• A break that was never getting there, and why Q36.5 still sent a man up the road
• The final climb: who cracked, who attacked, and a corner that had Max white-knuckling his chair
• Remco's positioning headache and how close the sprint for it actually was
• GC carnage: Ineos in chaos, an unlikely name now their top rider, Tiberi a bit lost
• Del Toro's team car chaos — the mechanical that had him waving down his own car like a fan
• Stage 3 preview: bushfire smoke near Girona, 4,000m of climbing towards Andorra, and why the break might actually stick this time
• Last night's Pillar Performance winner and how to get into today's Giant sunnies comp
