A star studded summer of cycling, what’s in a name, and why is Caleb Ewan racing for the national team?

It’s almost Christmas time and it seems everyone is rushing to drop their big news before they shutter up for Christmas. Kate is wearing Christmas pants, the bunker is set with lights and tinsel, and there is a certain Christmas spirit in the air.

• We’ve got big news about who’s coming to Adelaide for the TDU, with the Aussies set to light up both the women’s and men’s races.
• Lizzie Deignan is back after becoming a Mum to her second daughter. The implications of World Tour relegation are starting to show, with Lotto DSTNY noticeable absent from many a start list, and on that topic, why do teams keep changing their names?!
• Where do we draw the line with sports washing, and do the riders have any power to push back.
• The Tour De France is headed to Italy and Kate shares a memory of Marco Pantani and some questionable pink lycra shorts
• The Vuelta leaves Barcelona, but will it bring the same drama as 1962
• And after 125 years of the Austral, who were the winners.

As usual, there is lots of fun in The Wheelhouse bunker so please like, follow and share and have a wonderful holiday season.

We’ll see you soon!
