A stage that flipped the entire Tour on its head — Jonas Vingegaard's race-ending crash, a wild UAE tactical scramble, and Max eating a full plate of humble pie after his breakaway predictions blew up spectacularly.

In this episode:

• A statement ride from one of the GC contenders, marking every attack to the line
• The unsung heroes: Quinn Simmons' all-day breakaway masterclass and Mauro Schmid's second big week
• The white jersey changes hands, and a growing rivalry for years to come
• More on the overnight 2am/5am doping controls, and whether it's fair that only the top two GC riders got woken up
• A shock sprinter abandon, and what it means for the remaining sprint stages
• Teams classification chatter continues, plus a genuine plan to reward the podcast's most accurate tipster
• Listener voice notes, fantasy league crossover talk, and the ongoing Aussie Uno-X sponsorship pitch
• Stage 16 TT preview: could a time-trial specialist finally break the GC stranglehold?
• Rest day plans — Max's 20-voice-note challenge to make a guest appearance
