The Cycling Podcast continues its review of the 2022 season by electing our “Ride of the Year” - and courting controversy with that selection. You can keep your Remcos at Liège, your Pogs at Strade Bianche, we say - the finest single exploit of the men’s cycling year was Tobias Foss’s giantkilling act in the World TT championship in Wollongong. In this episode, to help account for our choice, Foss himself gives us a forensic description of how he turned an annus mirabilis into an annus…iridis or “rainbow year”.

Before that, Daniel is joined by Rob Hatch to review the week's main news stories. We get the latest on Nairo Quintana and Mark Cavendish, catch up on track and cyclocross news and also hear about the sad passing of a titan in the world of anti-doping.
