Max is back from a Gold Coast win and straight into it — Pauline Ferrand-Prévot's baffling time trial position gets torn apart, a fresh UAE leadership headache deepens, and a UCI aerodynamics scandal that's somehow gone properly mainstream.

In this episode:

• Pauline's TT position — "overrated helmets," and why it might be the most telling sign yet of where her focus has been
• A surprise TT winner puts down the ride of the day, ahead of every big name
• The UAE leadership saga deepens — a near-photo-finish result that somehow makes things messier, not clearer
• Kasia Niewiadoma's quietly brilliant ride against the clock
• Building out a full mock Australian and New Zealand women's team, Uno-X style
• Puck's mysterious tactics — going for KOM points then insisting it wasn't the plan
• "Bra-gate" — the UCI aero padding controversy that's made UK mainstream press
• Max's Everesting plans, a mountain bike horror story, and Patagonia gravel vs MTB debate
• Stage 5 preview: eight climbs, a genuine GC showdown, or does everyone save it for Ventoux?
