Arise, Sir Arensman and sorry Mr Yates | Tour de France stage 19 | Watts Occurring
When a climber wins one stage at the Tour de France, that's usually that. Job done, get to Paris. But not Thymen Arensman.
What a ride from INEOS' Dutchman on the final mountain stage at this year's Tour. Chapeau, Sir.
And Pogi? Well, he did what he needed to do. Barring disaster, that's number four for the remarkable Slovenian.
Luke and Tom recapped all the action - and got to the bottom of the Yates Snr mystery. He's not happy with G!
We'll be back on Sunday with a VERY special pod from Paris.

Ham sandwiches on the queen stage | Tour de France stage 18 | Watts Occurring
G's ridden his final ever Tour de France queen stage - and now he's got just three days left to go.
He hopped on the massage table (once he'd warmed up) to tell Tom all about his day on the fearsome Col de la Loze and his desire to be handed chocolate bars on the mountain tomorrow. If you're out there, Watts Occurring listeners, you know what to do.
The whole Watts team is excited to see G in Paris on Sunday, but Tom and Luke will be back tomorrow night with one final pod before then.

Mont Ventoux didn't disappoint | Tour de France stage 16 | Watts Occurring
That's that then. G's final ever (competitive) time up Mont Ventoux. And the stage really did not disappoint.
We saw the breakaway duke it out for the win, Pog and Jonas come within a whisker of catching them, and just generally some excellent Ventoux fireworks. One of the stages of the race so far.
Five days to go. Each and every one is going to be a belter.
We'll be back soon.
