About this episode

GTCC LIVE! Yes, that's right - as you've heard Tom and G saying, we're going on our first-ever GTCC Tour this November! Get your tickets here: https://tourlink.to/CyclingClub

You read that correctly - we've got a Watts Occurring exclusive tonight! G called up his old mate Mark Cavendish and he was kind enough to join us to chat about his recovery from that heartbreaking Tour de France crash, his thoughts on today's stage and - as ever with two old mates - absolutely everything in-between.

Would his Astana team caught the break today? And what were Movistar doing in that leadout in Rome? Listen to find out.

We'll be back tomorrow for a stage 19 recap - and Luke will join us from Tour de Wallonie, as he continues his racing build up to the Vuelta.
