Ahead of the Tour de France, Tom sits down with Ben O’Connor for a relaxed pre-race chat before the biggest three weeks of the year.
Ben talks through his build-up, what went wrong at the Giro, what makes the Tour so different, and how he’s approaching the race alongside a strong Australian core.
We also get into the pressure, the chaos, the key stages, and what it means to line up at the Tour with stage ambitions.
A proper pre-Tour check-in with one of Australia’s biggest names in the peloton.
