I noted after the 1st stage of the TdF with my cycling mates there was going to be a commentary called “The Move” with Lance Armstrong, George Hincapie and Sir Bradley Wiggins. I missed it since I was still riding with a cycling group. During a brief stop at a coffee shop one of our riders mentioned this while reviewing his phone. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
They have been doing The Move for years. It is very well produced and the quality increases with every year. I think the budget is huge. Lance and George have great chemistry.
I like The Move a lot, been listening to it for years, but their ad reads are the worst of any podcast I listen to.

What about PTN?

Spencer is great and his chats with Johan are a good listen. The Lance and George pods are fine, but as said above the ad reads are horrendous and lengthy. I actually don’t know of another pod with more ad reads.

From what I hear, those reads (at least for the companies that LA doesn’t have an investment interest in) definitely don’t come cheap, so at least folks are getting their money’s worth.
Will be interesting to see how much of the product placement is allowed to bleed into the portion of their show that Peacock is broadcasting. Not interesting enough for me to tune in to Peacock, though.

I have in the past got the impression that only johan and occasionally George prepare for those episodes. I wouldn’t be surprised if lance doesn’t watch anything before coming on sometimes. Johan is almost always on point. A very insightful observer.

I put it on yesterday, and it’s just the same as you get on YouTube; 4 minutes of ad reads at the start (then a moment about about the flooding in TX)
I did not watch the Johan & Sir Wiggo show yesterday, and I routinely skip Outcomes
I used to listen to the jb2 podcast, maybe ill try johan and wiggens, although im skeptical. My enjoyment of the move went way up when i just stopped listening to the podcasts with lance
This is what I did while listening to Lance’s show
Interpret that as you see fit (my therapist & I will work on it, Friday afternoon LOL)

If anyone - besides me - is interested, I did a little searching (OK, I actually ASKED Team WEDŪ a few years ago, and saved the artist in my Spotify queue) and found that the harmonica that opens the show is provided by one Mickey Raphael
Among other credits, he is featured in this track from an Elmore James tribute album, playing with Warren Haynes & Billy Gibbons

I see what you did there.

A couple of seasons ago, I was watching a Tour De France Femmes avec Zwift show, when D’Kid came through the room
Ali was looking especially badass that day, if I remember correctly - I believe there was much black involved in her outfit on that day
“Who. is. That?” D’Kid asked with a pitch in her voice that told me a girl-crush was coming on “I love her eyes”
Fast-forward to not long ago, and I showed D’Kid a pic from her IG, to remind her ‘hey! That girl you like is gonna be back up on YouTube soon’
“Cowboy boots? That’s such a shame”
Consider that crush, crushed
Occasionally they will post clips on YouTube of them watching the tour. I wish they would stream that - looks way more fun.
Spencer Martin consistently brings up interesting points and initiates good discussions. I wish he were more involved in the show, like guiding the conversation a bit. I would listen to an entire podcast of his thoughts. Lance, George, Wiggo, and Johan obviously have the first-hand experience that makes this podcast a thing in the first place, but they don’t always translate that into interesting segments.

When they announced before the tour that Peacock would be live-streaming them, I thought that what they meant
I’d be glad to have their audio laid over the video feed
Would be interesting to see how/if the UCI would respond to this, and whether this would fall under their interpretation of the lifetime ban strictures. There’s a difference between being part of an officially licensed broadcast, and having a podcast, even if it’s being broadcast by the owner of the official event license.
My guess is that they would absolutely try to shut it down.
Outside of the TdF and a handful of other times that Lance and George are on, the Move podcast is typically just Spencer and Johan, and it’s fantastic. I am likewise a big Spencer Martin fan. He also has his own podcast - Beyond the Peloton - which I recommend.
Ya, Johan mentionned this in an episode. Apparently the UCI came out with a statement because of Johan’s involvement with Belgian TV. Sounds like Johan may “lawyer up”. They were asking for listeners who are lawyers and wanted to help 
Yeah, I don’t think so
The UCI statement said - as I read it - “Johan wasn’t supposed to be there, but we’re not gonna fuss about it; just don’t let him get backstage anymore, OK?”
Agree, and I kind of hope he does. Certainly not standing up for Johans involvement with actions that occurred on his teams, but I’m fully supportive of sticking it to the UCI. That group is awful and cycling would likely improve with a complete overhaul.
