    6. Plan B

    On this episode of The Unchained Binge Podcast, we watch one of the world's best bike racers be inexplicably bad at bike racing, we learn that one of the world's best sprinters can't remember his shoes or, unfortunately, when there is still a breakaway up the road, and we debate whether there was any real drama inside Jumbo-Visma.

    4. Attack, Counter Attack

    Episode 4 offers an inside look at one of the most thrilling Tour stages in recent memory. We see Jumbo-Visma crafting a plan to take on Tadej Pogačar on some of the toughest terrain in the race, and then watch as the action unfolds on the journey from Albertville to the Col du Granon. Also, we discuss the different personalities in the Tour and the ways the show narrows those personalities down, for better or worse. Let's get into it. Hosted on Acast.

Wonderful insights

Great podcast to accompany the recent Netflix documentary. The insights and commentary are stronger than Jakobsen’s sprint.

The winningest podcast

Great fun and insight, would love to hear a ranking at the end of all the things left out.

A perfect compliment to the Netflix show.

I’ve consumed other “binge” podcasts and couldn’t be happier with what the Escape Collective delivered. It’s made my membership at escapecollective.cc even more worth it.

The podcasts offer hand experiences and an honest opinion on the production of the show. I’m excited to see what they have to offer next.
